That's right.

They've been teaching him something in
medical school. Loser's ball. Loser's

ball. All right, Howard. Cut left.

Cut right.

Low post.

High post. Got him.

All right, get him.

Get him.

Foul. Foul. Foul. Man, he ran into the
wall. That's not a foul. That's

stupidity. That's a foul. Get out of
here.

Blood. Blood.

No blood, no foul.

Can I talk to you for a second? Sure. I
want you guys to meet a living legend

here. Please don't do that to me.

This is Coach Bill Barry from
Philadelphia when I played in the City

This is my coach.

Mr. Barry, it's nice to meet you. My
dad's been talking about you for years.

I've seen some pretty impressive moves
out here. And you guys pay attention to

what he says because he's helped a lot
of hoodlums like yourself.

My dad used to be on Coach Barry's team
when he won the championship.

My dad scored the winning basket.

Your father told you that? Yeah.

Well, he did play in the game.

But as I recall, when the winning shot
was made, he was sitting next to me on

the bench.

I made the shot from the bench?

Dr. Huntsville, do you want to play with
us? You can show your old coach some of

your moves.

Come on, Dad, play.

No, I didn't bring Coach Berry down here
to watch me play basketball. You guys

go ahead. I'd love to see you play.

Why not? You know you want to do it.
We'll take it easy on you.

Real easy.

Yeah, Pop.

Come on.

Grandpop.

You fellas will never get him to play.

Oh, why not? Because he played in a game
recently that kind of soured him on

basketball. What could have possibly
soured you on basketball?

Well, nothing. It's just that, you know,
it's cold out.

Come on, I'll buy you a cup of tea.

But Dad, I'll tell the fellas when you
guys go inside.

You'll tell them nothing.

Wait a minute, Coach.

I thought that it was me who scored the
winning basket in the championship game.

Chris, we were behind by one point with
ten seconds to go.

I would never put you in the game in a
situation like that.

But why is it that I remember making the
winning basket?

You did.

I did.

But before I sat you on the bench, you
had gotten the rebound and fell on your

face hard.

The ball hit the floor, bounced up, and
went into the other team's basket.

came over and shook your hand.

How could you be so old and remember all
that?

Oh,

these young guys. Can't keep up with
them.

Yeah. Please, I don't even want to hear
about it. You're 24 years old. What do

you mean, young guys?

But, you know, I'm playing with 18 -year
-olds. It's rough.

Let me tell you something. An 18 -year
-old and a 24 -year -old, the same age.

Your lungs are pink.

Your arteries are pumping, heart is
pumping, and you have an abundance of

saliva.

Come here, sit down.

You know, Dad, I feel bad that those
guys are, you know, ribbing you like

outside. I really do. But, you know,
what exactly was it that soured you on

basketball? You can tell me. It won't go
any further than this room.

Zip the lip.

Let me see. It soured me, per se, on
basketball. I just don't want to play it

anymore.

Don't you think it would be a good idea
to share it with someone who could

understand? Nothing happened. Now get
out of here. Go play some basketball

you get my age.

I'm going. I'm going. Just, you know, if
you want to talk, you know where I am.

I'm out there.

Anytime, then.

Now that he's gone, what did sell you on
basketball?

Your face.

Hey. Dad, this book is great. It has
pictures of you in it playing ball when

were young. How come you never showed
the star?

How come I never showed it to you?

book out about a hundred times i've said
to every child in the house look come

look at dad here's some old pictures of
dad playing basketball and football oh

we gotta go on the table there you know
what you guys did put your drinks on top

of it sorry dad oh is this you dad
number seven

you were pretty good looking back

then

Is the haircut dear?

No, it's not the haircut.

You just had big ears.

Did your ears get smaller as you got
older?

I took your hands off my earphones.

Well, I guess your head got bigger.

I like this picture number 10. He has
fine legs.

Nice ears, too.

I plan a game. with him anytime.

Yeah.

Vanessa, this man is 52 years old.

Turn the page.

Hey, I like this picture even better.

Oh, well, see, this is your father, and
we're playing street football. We're

playing in front of the house.

How come you don't let us play in the
street?

I'm waiting.

This is in the 50s.

See? In 1950 -something or other. And
there were no cars

at that time.

In the 1950s, there were cars.

And as a matter of fact, there was a
Russian satellite named Sputnik.

That is absolutely correct. And you know
what?

The Sputnik came down.

And they said, well, what if Sputnik
came down and exploded?

There would be pieces of it all over the
place and would probably hurt little

boys playing football. So they took all
the children off the street from that

point on. There you go.

Larry, you have a lovely home.

Well, thank you, Mrs. Terry.

Bill, honey, Claire has a videotape of a
game that Cliff played in just last

month. Is that right? Oh, I don't think
Dad wants anyone to see that tape.

He was really out of shape.

It's all right. I don't mind rolling the
tape. It's just that dinner is so

close, so we ought to go have something
to eat. We have time.

Come on, show the tape. Cliff, I want to
see the hammer in action.

Yes, the hammer. That's what they used
to call your father back in the good old

days. Because when he fouled someone,
they day fouled.

I think your father's nickname should
have been the stomach.

My husband, Bill, used to bring all the
boys over after the game, and I had food

ready.

Cliff out -ate the entire team.

That's why we never had children of our
own, because after Cliff, we couldn't

afford to feed.

Now, let me tell you something on your
husband.

First of all, after every game, we were
showering.

He would come and he said, now, fellas,
please don't forget to get in the car

with me because I need you guys. If you
guys don't come home, my wife doesn't

cook for me.

I think all that talk about food has
made me hungry. I'm ready. You're not

hungry. You just don't want us to see
this tape.

What team is this?

See, a group of doctors at the hospital
got together and challenged a group of

lab technicians to a game of basketball.
The doctors were Cliff's age, the lab

technicians were 20 years younger, and
all women. You played women? I happen to

have it right here. I could just flip
it. I don't think it's necessary to play

that, dear. Daddy, take it like a man.

Why don't you go outside and play with
Sputnik?

Listen, I'm not going to run that whole
thing because we're going to have to

have dinner. So I'll just fast forward.
Thank you. I'll take care of this. Don't

worry. I'll be safe.

Who made the tea? The audiovisual
department at the hospital. Cliff

$100 to burn the tea.

Okay, here we have the men warming up.

Yeah, right there.

Looking pretty good there, Cliff.

Yeah. You can tell it's the old hammer
moves coming back.

Now, I don't know what Cliff is doing
here. Maybe you can tell me, Coach.

That's a passing drill.

You do it just the way I taught you.
Thank you. See, whenever the first team

practicing, I'd have your dad do this
drill.

He never missed the wall once.

Now, here comes the other team.

Oh. All right. And women.

Now, I want you to look.

Men's faces when they see the other
team, knowing that they have already won

game.

But the doctors have their shining
moments. Look, now. All right.

Nice teamwork there, Cliff.

What? No, I never touched the ball.

There you go. They use you just like I
did.

Check it out. There you go. And all
right.

Dad, you missed the shot.

It wasn't a shot. You see, you don't
know anything about basketball. That was

pass. No,

back the thing up. Please back it up.
Back it up. All right. Here I am. Now

it forward. I'm running in. I see the
man cut. I make the pass on the

Follow up. Bam.

Looks like it's not to me.

Let's go to some of your dad's great
moments. Thank you.

Yes.

Let's go to dinner.

No, no. I'm going to fast forward to
another bright moment in his life.

All right. Now, this is a good moment,
of course. Watch this.

Watch. Check it out.

There. Oh, he should have gone in. He
gave it back to me. Now, she fouled me.

She fouled me, and the rep didn't call
anything.

Yay!

Now, do me a favor. Now, are there any
good moments?

was one. Here, let's try this one.

All right.

Check me out.

Check me out.

Check me out. Still. Oh, yeah. This is
good. This is good.

There you go.

Now.

Now. Now.

Show ball. Show ball. That's okay.

Whenever Cliff got a basket, we all
celebrated.

He had some great moments. It didn't
last. Yeah.

Now, watch the pass. Watch the pass,
Coach.

Look at that.

Didn't have to slow down. Right in
there.

Great.

I think we'll pay it off. Thank you. All
right, moving ahead here.

All right.

Rebound going down. Here we go.

Now,

somebody move the basket on me.

So after that shot, the team decided to
put Cliff where they thought he'd be

most useful.

I'm taking a rest.

Oh, come on now.

Can we go in there, please? We can go in
there now. The best is yet to come.

Yes, the women are fierce. Yes, yes.

Yes, they are.

Spectacular play. Now, this is the kind
of team I'd like to coach.

You know, you can go home now.

Sometimes it looks like Cliff was
playing for the women.

Uh -oh.

Yes, just give her the ball. I couldn't
see it.

Wait a minute. Now, how tall was she
that you couldn't have blocked that

Well, 4 '1 or something. Now,

I want to show you what happens at the
sound of the buzzer in the first half.

Watch carefully.

She doesn't move away.

She wasn't in your way.

Clara, show me that again in slow
motion.

Yes, ma 'am. No, no, you don't have to.

See?

You pushed that child.

Yeah, but you should have heard the
nasty things she said about my wife.

Now, we will move ahead.

Check it out. All right, up with the
jump.

That was your dying duck shot.

Okay, now look at this.

Starting to get pitiful.

Yeah, but you need to lay up with the
wrong hand.

I'm going to mercifully push forward to
the fourth quarter.

I want you to see what kind of shape the
men were in.

Now, can you tell me, is the man playing
offense, defense, or is he on a five

-minute break? Or does he? Or does he
care?

All right, the audio -visual department
has strung some shots together so we can

see what the last three minutes of the
game were. Well, that's a strange

Yes! What now?

What?

Look! This is my thing.

Do it!

You're right. It looked like we never
shot.

You didn't.

Especially the hammer.

All right.

You deserve that, Cliff.

I'll spare you the final score. Let's go
to the next one. Yes!

Cliff,

I really enjoyed that tape. You should
be... Proud of yourself.

As usual, you gave 110 % of yourself.

Well, thank you, coach.

Because I owe it all to you. All I did
was try to work with what God gave you.

And God wanted you to be a doctor.

I'm not tired.

Well, why don't you get a paper or
something?

Getting a paper was not what I had in
mind.

I'm just still thinking about how bad I
looked in that tape.

Honey, don't be depressed because some
women beat you at a game of basketball.

It isn't losing to women. It's just that
to think about myself.

At age 16, running up and down the
court,

and then to see myself at 51,

not running up and down the court. But

thinking back to that 16 -year -old boy,
he was a heck of a boy.

Yes, he was. I saw you at 16. You were
something to behold.

i'm telling you i had set everything in
my mind at age 51 that i

wasn't going to jump and you saw when i
made that layup i was only this high

but i made a mistake after i made the
basket and i ran down court real fast

i was pumping doing like this and when i
got down the other end and i stopped I

mean, my body, my lungs, my legs,
everything said, what do you think

doing?

I stood there and the woman stole the
ball from me. Now, ordinarily,

if you would steal a ball from the
hammer, the hammer would chase you all

way down.

And even if you were ahead and you were
going up, the hammer would catch you.

And foul you in a way that you would
never want. Even if you took the ball

the hammer, you would give it back to
him.

And that woman took that ball away from
me and I was so tired.

I stood there and I just watched her
dribble down.

She made the basket. And you know what I
said to justify it?

Ain't nothing but two points.

And I tell you.

You saw me when I was 16.

You know what that 16 -year -old boy was
like. The Hammer.

You were the Hammer.

Yes. You were great. You know, my
favorite game that I ever saw you play

against the Mount Airy Badgers. Yeah,
yeah.

You remember that?

Sure do.

Bunky Rose. Bunky Rose. Bunky Rose stole
the ball from T. Parham.

Sunny Hill stole it from him. You stole
it from Sunny Hill.

And Claude Grosso stole it from you.

Anyway, you got up and you were mad.

So you walked over and took the ball
from Philip Howe, who was just standing

there. To this day, we do not know what
Philip was doing standing there. Well,

he was known to sleep a lot just
standing there.

He started to dribble. Look out. Down
the court. Down the court. And standing

there in front of the basket.

Hello. Was Bozo the wall walker. That's
right.

That's right. Six feet, 10 inches, 239
pounds of arms. And the coach would put

him in front of the basket and say, now,
Bozo, anybody that comes up to you, eat

them.

I stopped my dribble at the foul line.

And I knew he was there.

I knew he was there.

And I...

Took off in the air.

Had the ball in his hand.

Went around my back twice.

Still in the air.

And came with the right hand and shot.

And that's all I remember.

You made the basket.

I did.

The reason you don't remember, honey, is
because you got knocked out.

You won the game by one point.

That must be the game I keep talking
about that the coach doesn't remember.

Always to have some time, yeah.

But that's what it's all about, isn't
it? Memories.

Which is why you ought to come over here
right now so we can make a memory.

You know, I think you're absolutely
correct because what it's all about is

you do now, isn't it? Yes. No matter how
old you are.

Yes. Like you could be 72 and make a
memory for tomorrow. You think? Or even

minutes from now. You think.

And if we're careful, we could

have a good time right now, and that'll
be a memory, won't it? Mm -hmm.

Oh.

I'm going to turn out the light. Please
do that, because memories...

are oft times much better in the dark.

Now don't hurt yourself.
