Original subtitles

I'ma fly away, maybe I'ma fly away, someday.

Yeah, so gullible just like my first love.

Stay humble but I knew that I was first up.

Pick up the pen and that's when I drew my first blood.

Spent my heart again cause the pain will never end.

Happiness is temporary, always has been.

I just lost one but sometimes I win.

I always spread love but sometimes I sin.

I only trust some that's why I keep a few friends.

Funny cause I used to see my circle never end,

always kept like 47 friends and my circle friends.

All that's left now is the radius, they still

here, trying to find love on this atmosphere.

Whenever you need me just take a plane to the actual

zone, some at their home, I've been hurt for too long.

Time don't stand still so you gotta move on

and on and on and on and on and on and on.

And on and on and on and on and on and on.

You saw that?

Yo, that nigga jammed on his dome, man.

Yo, man, I told you to stop saying stupid shit like that.

I want my doors.

I can say what I want.

That nigga dunked on his head.

You can't say shit like that.

You're not a nigga.

You got it, nigga?

Hey, man, we should get a team and come out here.

Yeah, man, if you want to get killed, we can come out here.

Uh-oh, got him.

One of these guys is supposed to play with the Nets for a year?

I bet that's him.

What?

Back in the day with J.K., right?

No wonder that nigga's so nice.

Yo, practice.

What did I just tell you about saying that shit?

Hey, yo, Saint.

Yeah?

Yo, you know if that coach from Cornell is coming again?

Yeah, I think so.

All right.

Hey, hey.

You should jack that move, yo.

It's off your handle, you know?

Yo, watch that shit.

How do you eat that right before practice?

So that nigga don't play, that's why.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Kill you, bro.

I'll fucking kill you, bro.

Why are you using me?

Kill you, bro.

You don't want to be in that shot, team.

You don't want to be in that shot.

I would hate to have to do this again.

Hustle up.

Hustle up.

Come on.

White, red, give me five on the clock.

We're gonna work the offense.

Clean, crisp passes.

Otherwise, you will run until you throw up.

Garbage cans in the corner.

Yo, you heard Jimenez dropped 42 last week?

So what?

Saint's done that before.

Yeah, but the whole team had 50.

Well, I guess you didn't have a lot of assists then, huh?

Hey, Dunn, go red.

I want you guarding Anthony.

Ian, you're down there.

Let's do this then, motherfucker.

All right, hustle up.

Intensity, intensity.

Let's go.

Back up, Red.

Come on, Aki.

Lead them.

Let's go.

Look along.

Keep moving, guys.

Keep moving.

There you go.

Easy.

What's up?

All right, bitch.

You better not get too cocky.

All right, let's go.

Let's keep the defense.

Get low.

Hey, close.

We're starting to run.

Golden State.

Come on.

Push it.

Push it.

I'm coming for you.

I'm fine.

Hey, Dunn.

Saint's lighting you up.

Play defense.

That's fucking it for you.

Play it right.

Come on, Saint.

Tumping up, man.

Play all day.

Ooh.

Barbecue chicken, bitch.

We got to get him used to getting hit because everybody's going to do that.

Run the offense.

They'll make it.

I ain't going to see your fucking ball no more.

Hey, go on.

It's like glue.

Like wide-hole rice.

Like me on your girl.

Oh.

Come on.

Swing it.

Swing it.

I'll have you.

Come on.

There it is.

Oh.

Hey, shooter.

Shoot the ball, shooter.

It's gotta shoot that.

I'm in here, Pesky, just scared.

Oh, I got the mouse.

I got the mouse in the house!

Mouse in the house!

Down low.

Down low.

Get on the floor.

Get on the floor.

That's it.

Oh.

That's it.

Hey, man!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Hey,

sorry I'm late, Dad.

Yeah.

You gonna be able to record it?

Yeah, I'll do it on my phone.

Oh, this sounds like shit.

Last time I could barely hear it.

I'll plug it directly into the mic.

Yeah.

Hello, everyone.

Tonight, we will continue our series on fiction writing.

Tonight's topic will be bringing a character to life, the novelist as midwife.

Please help me welcome Professor Lee Keller.

Thank you.

Thanks for your patience.

What goes in to defining a character?

Is it their actions or is it what they feel inside?

Hopefully, in fiction, it's both.

Were there a lot of people?

Well, their advertising budget is about

enough for a bagel and a cup of coffee, so...

I'm surprised there weren't.

Everybody was pretty engaged, though.

You should buy an iPad, Dad.

You can do the slideshow right from there and record it, too.

It'd look nice.

It's really cool.

And it'd probably be on time, too.

Right?

Yeah, probably.

Anybody from your class come?

What, is this an interview?

No.

There wasn't a single solitary soul from my class.

Maybe if I was lecturing about how to tweet while Instagramming, they would be there.

I'd really like to learn how to do that.

All right.

It's dead simple.

Let me tell you.

So, um, it looks like I'm gonna get that promotion as senior manager.

No way.

I mean, it'll mean weekends, but the pay is good.

You charmed them into it, didn't you?

I don't know.

I can't say I blame them.

So, are you gonna tell me what happened?

So, are you gonna tell me what happened?

Oboe.

Billy?

Yeah.

I'm eating.

Well, he is aggressive, but you need that on your team.

Do you have, like, a burning desire to look at it from all sides?

I do.

Hey, get up.

I'm gonna show you how to avoid being elbowed.

Lee.

What?

We're eating.

Come on.

It'll take 10 seconds.

All right.

So, I'm you, and you're Bill.

You got it?

I got it.

So, I'm the shooter, right?

And I'm the man, bro.

You can't stop me.

Right?

I'm gonna light you up.

Jesus.

Oh, back it up.

Back it up.

Yeah.

Plunk.

Plunk.

Right?

So, uh, I got the ball.

You know I'm gonna shoot.

Where you gonna be?

Gonna be right here.

Oh.

What's Anthony gonna do?

Huh?

You gonna shoot him?

No, not with the defender right here.

Wrong.

You are gonna shoot him.

Huh?

Like this.

Lee!

Jesus.

That's not my foul.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Nobody's ever gonna guard you that close again.

Guaranteed.

I'm gonna go get you some ice.

What are you getting him ice?

He said he's fine.

Right?

I'm fine.

I don't need ice.

So, um...

What's going on with your novel, Dad?

Oh, I had a major breakthrough.

I'm gonna rework the entire beginning and give

every character their own chapter before they meet.

Hmm.

Yeah.

That sounds great.

Mm-hmm.

Does that mean a lot more work?

It just means throwing a bunch of shit out.

But...

if you're afraid of work, you're not a writer.

Yo, Saint, man.

Billy fucked you up.

Nah, man.

I'm good.

I'm good.

Nah, it's not good, man.

If we don't got you, we don't win.

Oh, I'm gonna lay that nigga out.

Hey, what'd I say about that?

I mean, I will lay him out.

Yo, hey, Ant.

Try to get us up by the line on Friday, all right, so we can get in?

Yo, my Aunt Janice is coming from Tarrytown with her daughters, and they are hot.

Whoa.

Yo, that shit is gross, man.

Those are your cousins, bro.

What?

No, it's not.

That's not true.

Yes, it is.

Those are your cousins.

Your aunt's kids are your cousins, man.

That's disgusting.

You idiot.

Yo, how'd they let you into the school?

Bitch, shut up.

Shut up.

You love that line.

That's like his signature.

Anthony, can I see you?

Anthony.

Um...

I gotta go, all right?

Okay.

Anthony, can I see you?

Yeah, can I see you?

I'm old as a dinosaur.

So, uh...

How you feeling about the playoffs?

I feel good.

Excited.

And, uh, what's happening on the college front?

Hopefully, uh, Cornell.

Oh, right.

That would be a dream come true, right?

Yeah.

Listen, I don't like involving students in this, but we

haven't received your tuition check for second semester yet.

I mean, I wouldn't ask you, but, uh, we haven't been able to reach your parents.

I'm sure they're just busy.

Yeah, I'm really sorry about that.

I will definitely let them know.

All right, listen.

We're really proud of you, Anthony.

So it's true.

That's your spot.

I heard some 10th graders worship you talking about it.

Yeah, I guess that's my spot.

Kind of.

You know, they come down here and they pretend to be you.

It's actually kind of lame.

It's lame as having to take Jim as a senior?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

What are both of them like?

Nothing.

He's just asking how it's going.

Everybody loves Anthony.

I should get that.

Yeah.

I don't understand you.

I am sorry.

For what?

For being a shitty boyfriend.

Your shitty boyfriend.

Yeah, I just said that.

Yeah, I wanted to say it, too.

Just over here on the right.

I'll call you later, okay?

Yeah, all right.

Thanks.

The story isn't without merit.

You know, there are some pretty good descriptive passages, that's hard to do.

But your perspective is all over the place.

Now it's fine to shift perspective if you do it on purpose, but what's not okay is

shifting perspective just because you can't find another way to get your point across.

How do you know I didn't shift on purpose?

Like, a definitive stylistic choice.

I can only hope you didn't.

I didn't do it on purpose based on what I read.

So you're saying your interpretation of my material is more valid than my intention?

I mean, that doesn't seem fair.

It's not fair?

I don't know.

Well, at a certain point, intention doesn't matter.

It's about what you do.

I don't want to stress on mom.

I know she's working like a thousand hours a week.

Yeah, you did the right thing.

She'd probably just flip out.

How dare they talk to you about it?

They just said they couldn't get in touch with you.

That's all.

This was probably a misunderstanding, so...

Hey, look, I'll take care of it, all right?

And I'll remind them that you're the fucking star of their high school.

Leo!

Ricky.

Hey.

Yeah, I stole you on the rocks and at Coke.

There's as many maraschino cherries as you can cram in the glass for this giant.

Your dad's been threatening to bring me down to a game.

The last thing he needs is your kind of luck.

Yours is welcome.

Hey, you bet.

My favorite shooting guard!

Is that some fucking Chinese?

How are you?

Hey, Mick, can I get a bitters and soda, please?

Yeah.

You using that move I showed you?

I'm gonna try and keep you off the boards.

You're gonna get two putbacks a game at least with this.

That punk last week sealed you every time.

You hook him under here, you spin him around.

You know it's a foul, right?

Not if nobody sees it.

Everyone's looking up here at the ball.

You go down there, you grab his knee, you take all his power.

Worked in my time.

Yeah.

Let me guess.

Y'all used to walk to school barefoot in the snow?

Is that you two?

No.

Dad was your father.

By the time I came around, they had been his shoes.

Hey, Mick.

Need to ask you for a credit card or something, Leo.

Making everybody settle up.

You're kidding, right?

I got a card, Lee.

Here.

Hey, put that away, Charlie.

You want me to settle up?

It's high.

Okay.

Double or nothing.

Yeah, yeah, hey, Bobby.

The Knicks are gonna come out tonight.

If they come out of this timeout, Melo's gonna

hit a three from the top of the key, promise.

What do you say?

Go ahead.

That's a grand.

Grand Schminn, man.

Yeah, yeah, they run this all the time.

Matt Nix, the magic here at the Garden.

Celtics on a matinee affair next Sunday.

But right now, the Knicks just thinking about tonight.

The Knicks in a heap of trouble right now.

Palikin's out.

Nick's have a foul to give.

Nick's have two time-outs remaining.

Get it to Melo.

Get it to Melo.

Nick's have no hot hand.

No one is hot right now.

Melo's been taken out of it by this man.

Shoot that.

I'm a free man.

Lucky fucking Lee.

That's right.

Never doubt it, man.

Never doubt it.

I'll give my boy a stake and put it on my tab.

Anything you want.

Hey, man, what do you say, Rangers or Capitals?

I don't know hockey, but...

I say Rangers because they're from New York.

That's what I keep telling you.

Yeah?

I got him.

I got him.

I got him.

I'm gonna take him to bed.

It's fine.

It's fine.

You got him?

Yeah.

It's fine.

That's a phenomenal kid you got.

You're telling me.

Let's go.

There you go.

You're a genius, kid.

Like, a month?

Well, something was missing.

And plus, she smoked one of those Bluetooth cigarette things.

Okay, I'm gonna get out of here.

Thanks, Uncle Charlie.

All right.

See you later.

Okay.

Hey, thanks for getting him home.

You're welcome.

All right, honey.

I'm gonna go check on him.

Okay.

There's an Indian in the fridge.

Great.

Thank you.

Okay.

There's an alien in the fridge?

Indian.

My jacket's on.

Let me help you with that.

Come here.

All right.

This one first.

Yeah.

There we go.

Yeah.

Yeah, so... Okay.

All right.

All right.

That nigga be on my shit.

His tighty-whities might be too tight or something.

You know what I'm talking about.

You know what I'm talking about.

Mr. Vahina.

He be like this.

Go, go, go.

Um, sir.

I must ask you, please, the declension of the word deus.

This is something that should be second nature to you, Mr. Hakeem.

Something that should be in your bloodstream by now.

Like, part of your testicle.

He hates you.

He's racist.

I'm trying to tell you, yo, because I do all my work.

Okay?

I participate.

I don't think asking to go to the bathroom is

really participating, but I don't know what to do.

Okay.

Look, I drink a lot of water before I get to class, okay?

I gotta stay hydrated.

You know how I feel about my H2O, all right?

You know that.

You know that.

You know I like water.

You know what I'm saying?

See, I know... Yo, we're gonna take off.

Yeah.

We got practice in like 20 minutes, man.

I'll see you guys in a bit.

You know what they're gonna do?

Gonna take like two minutes.

And you know you got a quick release, boy.

All right, watch out, watch out, watch out.

I've been working on this beat for a little bit, all right?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, okay, okay.

All right.

Okay, take it, take it, take it, take it.

Wouldn't that be amazing?

Hey, honey.

Oh, Zane?

How's practice, man?

It's fine.

What's going on?

Oh, man.

Just having a little celebration.

About what?

About your mom being wrong.

Oh, shut up.

Your father had a little luck.

We all had a little luck.

No, I don't... And that does not mean...

That I am condoning bedding.

Oh, no, you'd never condone it.

You wouldn't take a risk.

Oh, I married you, didn't I?

Oh, good one!

I knew you'd like that one.

All right, I'm gonna take a shower.

Wait, wait, wait!

Hey!

Come on.

Don't you want to know?

Aren't you curious how much we won?

You're the one who picked the Rangers in the first place.

Sure?

Ten grand.

Holy... Holy's right.

That's a lot.

What if you lost?

Hey!

What if you lost?

You're definitely your mother's son.

What if we lost it?

Ah!

Congratulations.

You, too.

I would have picked the Capitals.

What do I know?

I'm gonna take a shower.

Okay, yeah.

Clean up.

You're ready for the, uh... I'm gonna take a shower.

Salivatory dinner.

We're gonna pull out the Chinettes.

All right, all right.

Yeah, I'll be out in a minute.

Hey.

Jesus, Mom.

I'm naked in here.

Sorry.

I can't see anything.

Everything good?

Everything is great.

Everything's great.

Here, let me do that.

I got it.

Yeah.

No, I'm... Thank you.

I am your mother.

I know about the tuition.

Anyway, I'm, like, sure it's all taken care of.

Sounds great.

You remember our dark dates?

No, I don't.

You'd climb into the bed, and we'd watch TV until your father came home.

All cozied up.

You'd hang on me like a little monkey.

Now you're gonna leave.

Get some sleep.

Vacate tomorrow.

I said the king's in the building Tell me how you feeling

Yeah, I said the king's in the building Yo, you see that?

Turns out they're not my real cousins, so that's cool.

That's great, man.

I

got it right here.

I got 15 right here.

Coach, glad you could make it.

Great.

How are the boys playing?

Oh, uh, good.

Focused, ready to go.

No repeat of last year's playoff?

No, no.

I think that experience hurt enough they don't want to repeat.

Looking at the positives.

Yes, sir.

Hey, I was hoping I could take you out for a beer after the game.

Maybe talk about that assistant coaching vacancy.

That's kind of you, coach, but I gotta get back to school.

All right.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Do your thing out there.

We'll talk more when you come up next week.

All right, coach.

You want me to hold that for you?

No, that's okay.

Thank you, though.

He got stuck in class.

And he wants to go collect on the win.

Shouldn't you do that so we could see Anthony play?

Me?

Can you imagine me teaching English?

Keep moving, guys.

Keep moving.

Here we go.

Let's go.

You know, I can't tell him what to do, Jan.

I'm just telling you what he told me.

All right, as long as we shut down seven, we're in good shape.

Scouts here?

Yeah, into the row of riches.

Go, swing it.

Swing it.

Right there.

Right there.

Row Fessor.

Hey there.

I was just coming to see you, actually.

Perfect.

You know what, fellas, we should head outside.

I think security's in danger.

He's coming by to lock up any minute.

I heard you won on the ranges last night.

I did, yeah.

I sure did.

And part of my plan was to pay off a piece.

What a plan.

But I thought I was taking turn against what you owed me.

Obviously, I fucked up.

I, uh...

I didn't realize that you guys knew each other.

Can't be the first time this has happened, right?

I'll make good...

for both of you.

Period.

Period?

This is... This is like a grammar lesson.

What about Len?

How does he get paid?

You didn't think we knew about that, did you?

Turns out you like to spread the wealth around.

Well, look, I teach at a college, okay?

This is not even a good fucking college.

And...

But I do have some resources, and, uh...

I can come up with everybody's everything.

What I would like to do, if you'd allow me, is to put the 10-I-1 on Michigan State.

No.

I understand, of course.

Why would you?

If you'll excuse me, I have a game.

My son has a game.

I got a game to catch.

All

right, keep the pressure on.

No let-up.

And, Anthony, you keep looking for your shot.

Coach, you gonna put any subs in?

What?

What?

What?

They should get some playoff time.

What about Gil?

We've been working out the practice.

You know, I know he can bring the ball up against these guys, no problem.

Gil, you're going in for Donnie, okay?

All right, let's go.

What's up, what's up?

Let's go!

Hey, you are personally responsible for that one.

I'm looking for you, okay?

Stay tough, man.

Get it in, get it in, get it in.

No!

God!

Come on, come on.

Sit down.

I don't know what the fuck is in your kid's head.

We'll get your shit together.

It's your last time out, Coach.

God damn it!

We are not losing this game!

Do you hear me?

Done.

Go in for Gil.

Now, when Anthony makes the second free throw, we go mad.

What, am I speaking Polish?

I need one on the line, Coach.

One's a shooter.

Good one.

On the release.

On the release.

We've got it, Gil.

We've got it.

Here we go.

Come on, Gil.

Okay.

No threes!

No threes!

No switch, Gil, no switch.

Oh, switch!

Oh, come on!

No, no, no.

This match.

No!

No, no, no.

Push it!

Push it!

Okay!

Push it!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Okay!

Okay!

Let's go!

Let's go!

No!

He's got to shoot that.

Tell him... tell him I'm proud of him, alright?

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Hey!

You saw what I did to him though, right?

I went all Jeremy Lin on his ass!

Now you'll definitely be able to hook up with your cousins, right?

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

You guys think this is fucking funny?

This is our season on the line here!

This is my job.

I'm not in high school.

This isn't a joke to me.

Cardinal Hayes won their game, and as

expected, Washington put a beat down on Iona.

We have a bye this week.

We need this.

Both of us.

How many does Jimenez have for Washington?

38.

Yeah, but that's not our problem right now.

We wait for the winner of St. Stephen's and Regis.

Both of whom we beat this season.

Guys, Jimenez isn't the only star in this league.

Not everyone has a Gilbert Wong on their team.

Wong, you are a menace.

I love you for making that show.

Hey, y'all.

Semifinals, what's up, man?

Yeah!

Go, go, go!

Little League, Lee.

Get in.

Long time, no talk.

Yeah, life.

You know, it kind of takes over.

This kid could pitch.

He was throwing a curveball before anybody could.

I felt like a fucking cartoon swinging at that thing.

Only kid to throw a perfect game.

Or almost.

I mean, no one was coming close to hitting his stuff.

One battle left, his father shows up.

He throws a meatball right down the middle.

Kid crushes it dead center.

Wow.

Huh.

Yeah, so... I am.

Oh, hey.

Read about your kid.

Wow.

Wait.

This is St. Anthony's father?

Yeah.

Oh.

Hey, there's a name for that.

It's Saint's father.

Yeah.

God.

Saint Senior.

So, uh...

I had a little luck recently.

I wanted to spread it around.

I thought we were below your radar.

I'm listening.

Michigan State's playing at home next weekend.

There's no way they're gonna lose to Penn State and East Lansing.

I'll give you five points.

How much you want put down?

Thirty.

Could you handle that?

Could I handle that?

Can you handle that?

Oh, sorry.

I forgot who I was talking to.

Guy's got a famous kid.

He's writing a great American novel.

He's got a house out in the Hamptons, right?

Well, we rent.

I couldn't make your game yesterday.

That's okay.

Charlie told me he passed the ball to the

chink instead of taking the last shot himself.

That's kind of a questionable decision.

Don't you think?

Well, you still manage to get a lot of attention, don't you?

Silence?

Well, that's a good reminder, you know.

When I write characters, they always have one defining characteristic.

And yours would be... silence.

Baby.

I have to go.

My mom wants me to watch my brother.

Yeah.

Hey, Victoria.

Oh, hi.

Mr. Keller.

How did my son get so lucky?

I think I got pretty lucky, too.

I should go.

Yeah.

It was nice seeing you, Mr. Keller.

We'll walk you out.

That's my boy.

That's my boy.

That's my boy.

I was opening the corner, man!

Yo, you can be open all fucking day, ain't nobody giving you the ball, all right?

Be happy you won, and shit.

Be happy you won.

You gotta pass the fucking ball!

Then get out of here if you don't like it, then, you too-wong-foo motherfucker!

Fuck you!

Good.

We need one.

Winners need one.

Yo, if you ain't got your five, you gotta get off the court, B.

Nah, we got him.

That's our white boy.

You got one.

Now we got one.

Yo, Lightburn, you balling?

Gorgeous.

Chrome-plated horsewhip.

I can't tell.

Fuck that again.

And the verdict's still saucy sack sweet like Dub B-40 on a door hinge.

Yeah!

And it always frowns on me.

Hey!

Put it up!

Put it up!

What the fuck?

Lay up, man!

Early man, you posers know me as a troll going... What?

Now we down.

You a bum, princess.

You ain't got nothing for your fucking guess.

No looks, Cornell.

Yo, ball!

Ball!

You soft, that's why.

Yo, ball!

You got no respect in this parking lot.

Uh-huh.

Pop on.

Yo, pass the ball!

What are you fucking doing?

Uh-huh.

Sure!

Let's go, let's go.

Got a baby.

Got a baby.

No home for the weak.

Where you going, boy?

You got a long day ahead of you, boy.

Get the fuck out.

Woo!

I ain't here to help you up, man.

Play some motherfucking ball.

Stop being a pussy.

I owe you.

You hear me, princess?

I owe you, princess.

Let's go.

Let's go.

You ain't going nowhere.

You ain't going nowhere, boy.

You ain't.

Oh, shit.

Ball, ball, ball!

Ah!

Motherfucker!

You ain't shit now, boy.

Get the fuck off me, man.

Fuck this motherfucker.

He pushed me.

Oh, he pushed me.

Yo, let me go.

You all up on this jock all game.

Talk about he pushed me.

Fuck him.

He give you one little push.

Let me go.

Let me go.

I'm good.

I swear to God, let me go.

Let me go.

Come on.

Fuck you, you piece of shit.

Fuck your mother.

Get out of here!

Fuck you, son.

Keep walking, motherfucker.

Fuck this place.

And fuck this motherfucker.

He ain't gonna push me like that again.

What happened when you let motherfuckers from prison play fucking basketball?

There's your change.

You hungry, right?

Yeah.

That shit gets your adrenaline going.

My first one, I couldn't even think.

I was swinging like a crazy man.

Broke my little pinky.

Never healed.

That shot you threw up looked nice.

White Ray Allen.

I bet you fit into someone's system real good.

Curling.

Getting the pass.

Draining it.

Always doing the right thing.

Second option.

Third option, maybe.

Oh.

He don't like that.

He want to be the first option, don't he?

Cornell...

...want to be the first option.

You feel angry, Cornell?

You feel that choking feeling?

In your throat.

He said, fuck you to your mama.

You ain't like that, did you?

Feel that anger.

Rage.

Right?

Rage!

Don't let it push you like a leaf in the wind.

Let it blow you like a sail.

Take you where you want to go.

Consider yourself schooled...

...by Socrates.

Instead, he said, why you... You're never going to catch me.

Get the ball, get the ball, get the ball, boy!

Three.

We don't feed the post...when the defense takes away the baseline entry.

It's up here for the high low.

Matt, reverse pivot seal.

Cornell gets an easy one.

Thank you.

Let's keep running this.

Anthony!

Coach.

Hey, don't want to interrupt.

Hi, I'm Chris Paulson.

Jenny Keller.

I've seen you at a couple of games.

Thanks for all the support you've given Anthony.

Well, he's a very talented player.

The school is beautiful.

We would be delighted to have Anthony here.

Okay.

That's right.

I have to pay a visit to the financial aid office.

Oh, let me have someone show you the way.

Anthony!

No, you know, I can find it.

Thank you.

Text me when you're done, okay?

Come on, let me show you around.

It's a beautiful gym.

Thank you.

Have a seat, buddy.

We coaches have a secret.

We all want the great defenders, the great passers, and the great rebounders.

But most of all, we want a great scorer.

I mean, this jump shot is super smooth, quick release.

Watch this.

You follow your shot.

Players just don't do that anymore.

Everyone on this level can put the ball in the hoop.

It's who wants to the most that makes the difference.

Do you want it, Anthony?

I do, coach.

My guys gather as much information as they can.

I fight hard for my scholarships.

I can't just give them to anyone.

Here's last year's finals.

Big guy, hard game, hard fouls.

You could take it right at him.

Get him out of the game.

Get yourself to the line where you've made how many in a row?

42.

Pretty amazing number.

But you want to avoid the contact so you pass.

Instead of getting big in the big moment, you get small.

And getting small leads to this.

There's no doubt that you have the talent, Anthony.

And you're a very good student.

Seemed like you fit in well here.

But I'm not looking for someone who will fit in.

I'm looking for someone who will stand out.

Show us you can do that, son.

We're rooting for you.

Thank you, coach.

What did Mr. Hill say about the financial aid?

Well, we don't qualify for as much as I was hoping for because we've had a lot of

money in and out of our accounts over the years.

What does it matter?

If we need it, we need it, right?

There are a lot of people who need it, sweetheart.

But I've socked some away.

And I can't imagine them not offering you a scholarship with how much they love you.

I'm not sure.

Hey.

It's all gonna work out for the best.

Really.

You always think you can do it.

Yes.

What's the alternative?

Maybe looking at the truth.

Okay.

I know this is a stressful time.

Victoria's pregnant.

Jesus.

How is that possible?

It was stupid, all right?

No, it's not all right.

This is not a game.

This is, oh, too bad we lost and get ready for the next one.

So getting pregnant is like losing, Mom?

It is real, Anthony.

With real ramifications.

Do her parents know?

No.

Don't tell Dad.

Please.

I'll go with you.

And we'll pay.

Every

possession is critical now.

This is my winter solitude.

The storm is coming soon.

We're rolling from the sea.

Make sure that gentleman's taken care of.

My voice will begin in the night.

My words will be your life.

You're French.

Yeah, but let me provide books if something goes wrong.

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Shuttles it to Cordland.

Missed the layup.

Here comes Lucas.

68-65 Michigan State.

Let it say that things just cannot work beneath the winter snow.

So I have been waiting.

Timberlake changing the skates.

What a play.

And Penn State clinging to a two-point lead,

but Andrew Jones can put it away right here.

That's the do it.

Four-point Penn State lead.

And another shocker in East Lansing.

And for the first time in the history of Penn State basketball,

they will fly out of here with a smile on their face.

How long have you seen Keller?

Keller?

Lee Keller.

You seen him today?

No, he hasn't been around.

This is my winter song to you The storm is coming soon The roses from the sea

That's pretty, Cornell.

You should just throw that down though, man.

I could get up there, I threw it down every chance I could.

Hard.

So a brother would know it.

Maybe you can't even dunk it though.

Me?

Yeah, I can dunk it.

Bet you never could though.

It must be white boy talk trash Tuesday.

Cause you got a mouth.

Let me show this motherfucker something.

Sure the one they talk about, huh?

Thelonious.

Man, you must have been able to jump.

Cause you're not that big.

I didn't just dunk it.

I dunked all motherfuckers.

Come here, I'll show you how I used to do it.

Alright.

Alright, first I used to fake them up.

Then take them down.

But I went off my right foot.

Use that left leg to keep them off me.

That didn't look like a dunk to me.

Call me in 30 years.

Let's see you dunk it.

Ah!

Oh ho ho ho.

My man.

Wait.

Whoa.

I uh...

I didn't know you applied.

Yeah.

Yeah, I...

I didn't tell you, um...

I thought it'd be a long shot anyway, so I...

Yeah.

So, um...

What's going on with Middlebury, then?

Anthony, UCLA is a really good school.

With my dad living out there, tuition, it's nothing.

This is about what happened.

I mean, you can't even stand to be around me anymore.

Right?

No, it's not about that.

And...

This is...

This is about me.

Anthony...

What am I supposed to do?

You want me to wait around for you until you feel

like seeing me, or until you feel like talking to me?

Until you feel like you can share anything with me?

Do whatever the fuck you want!

Okay?

Okay?

Just don't talk to me anymore.

What happened?

Yeah, it's nothing.

Just got it stuck in the door at work.

Please, just let me look at it.

No, it's wrapped up.

It's fine.

Don't worry about it.

Okay?

No, I got something to tell you.

I'm leaving that fucking college.

If I'm gonna get my book finished, I gotta focus one thing at a time.

And to be honest, I feel completely disrespected by those people.

So that's that.

How bad is it?

It's fine.

It's rad.

Not that.

I know you drained the college account.

The bank called me.

Well, Jenny, there's barely enough in there to pay for one semester.

I don't really see what the...

Do you know, do you understand what I had to give up to save that money?

I wasn't supposed to be selling men's clothing.

I went to fucking Parsons.

Okay.

You quit.

You quit, I quit.

We can all be, you know, artists.

Dreams come true, right?

But you would never fucking do that because you're such a goddamn martyr!

You and your fucking son.

You're so fucking perfect!

There's no room for me!

How much do you owe?

None of your god damn business.

Fuck you!

How much do you owe?!

Two hundred thousand.

Yeah.

Depends.

Look.

Ah!

Um...

Did he sell my parents' cabin?

Mm-mm.

I know how important it is to you.

I wouldn't... We have no choice.

Well, I looked into it.

You looked into it?

Yeah.

And, you know, if you're willing to take out

a mortgage, that would pretty much cover it.

Okay?

But I will make sure you do not lose that house, Jenny.

I promise.

I can't... I can't even...

I can't even look at you.

I hate you.

Go away!

Hey.

When you didn't come out, I thought maybe I'm not hurt.

All right, listen up!

Now, look, we hold them for just one more minute.

We're where we want to be.

Okay.

Where is that, Anthony?

In the final scotch.

I'm not asking you, Wong.

Anthony, where will we be?

In the final scotch.

All right.

Keep your head in it.

Now, listen up.

No matter what they do, we hold the ball.

Okay?

Let Anthony bring it up.

They will foul, and we want him shooting.

Okay?

Now, come on, Wong!

Bring it in!

Stay with it!

Stay with it!

All right, coach.

Oh, God damn it!

Push it!

Push it!

Let's go!

Push it!

Foul him!

Foul him!

All right, let them foul you!

Come on, guys!

God damn it!

Go, go, go!

Let them foul you!

Let them foul you!

No fouls!

No fouls!

Shoot!

Shoot!

Shoot!

Yo, Cornell, what the fuck you doing?

What are you doing here, man?

Yo, Ant, you good?

I'm good.

I'm good.

I'll catch you guys later.

All right, man.

You stupid?

What?

You know the score.

I mean, you winning.

All you gotta do is hold the ball.

So why you shooting?

You trying to lose, Cornell?

You a loser?

Hmm?

Hmm?

Get off of me!

You're the fucking loser.

That's right.

I'm done.

You wait.

Hey, Ant.

Let's go.

Your mom and dad are already up to cabin.

And I get the privilege of driving you.

It's my dad, okay.

It's my dad, okay.

Isn't he always?

Isn't he always?

You had an off day, kid.

You're allowed.

Your mom used to tell me that back in the day.

Your mom used to tell me that back in the day.

She saw you play.

Almost every game.

And Lee, too.

That's how they met.

Wait.

My mom knew you first?

Yep.

Knew me first.

It's funny how things work out, huh?

I was...

I was never good with women.

Great jump shot, though.

And how fast can this happen?

As soon as the check clears the account, I'll make the payments.

Latest Tuesday?

I want you to call them and tell them it's on its way.

You don't want unnecessary contact with these guys.

Our word doesn't exactly mean much to them anyway.

But I'll see them as soon as I can.

And make sure all the accounts are closed, all right?

There's no need to officially close any accounts.

It's not like a department store.

It's not like a department store?

Just make it very clear to them.

There is no open line of credit here.

Look, Charlie, just...

do whatever she says, okay?

I'm going outside.

Hey.

Thought I could rebound for you.

Sure.

Yeah.

So, uh, how many did you get last night?

Twelve.

That's not a lot for you.

It's a season low.

Yeah.

Charlie said the game was kind of close.

We won by two.

How about a little one-on-one?

What about your finger?

Yeah.

It'll make it fair, right?

Come on.

Show me your big moves.

Whoo!

Give your old man the ball first.

Yeah, you can have it.

You're gonna need it.

One-nothing!

Good guys!

Here, if you hand me that one, I can get it.

Yeah.

Whoo!

There you go.

So what's going on with Cornell?

I don't know.

What, they were begging for you.

Now they're not sure?

I guess they want to see more.

Tell me about it.

Me too.

Hey, we're working for you, Saint!

Yeah!

Yo,

Pat, I wasn't ready.

Yo.

Saint.

Three-nothing.

My ball.

Oh!

Oh.

Oh, you gonna play some real defense?

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Mania!

That's one.

Uh-huh.

You're lucky I don't call fouls.

Come on.

Let's go.

Whoops!

That's two.

You okay, Dad?

Yeah.

Take it out.

That's a foul.

Oh, yeah?

Well, why don't you call it, then?

Hey, ref!

Two from the line!

Dad, you can't hold me like that!

Oh, yeah?

Fine.

What, you want a written invitation?

Get

the fuck away from me!

What happened?

Get the fuck away from me!

What happened?

Just go.

Get away.

Stay away.

Okay, okay.

Talk to me.

Talk to me.

Tell me where it is.

Where is it?

My knee.

Okay, okay.

We gotta get out of here.

It's unusual, what we have here.

It's called a bucket handle tear.

In some instances, the meniscus can be flipped back.

But in others, the torn piece gets stuck.

That's the reason it's so painful.

But if it could be flipped, I could play, right?

It would be swollen and sore, and I wouldn't recommend it.

But technically, yes.

Do it.

No, Anthony.

What do you know about it, Mom?

We could relocate your knee by snapping it into full extension.

But there's a possibility of tearing it further if we force it.

It's a stupid risk.

They will not win without me.

I should have

protected him from you.

Not just the leg.

Everything.

Jenny, look.

You think I don't feel terrible?

My mother used to say she may not have known when she had enough, but she knew

when she had too much.

It can't be true that they can't win without him.

He is that special.

Maybe you're right.

Yeah.

We'll be okay.

Come in.

I'm so sorry.

Why, do you think I'm crazy?

No, I don't think you're crazy.

I mean, I think that, uh, it's a shitload to take.

Hey, Ed.

What are you doing up?

You should be resting.

What are you doing here, Uncle Charlie?

Yeah.

He's kind of upset, so...

Come on.

I'll walk you back.

Let's go.

How's it feeling?

I can't straighten it, so...

Hey.

You know he'd trade places with you if he could.

You know, Booms, there's another game we gotta mention, and it's local.

It's that rematch of last year's high school D1 city finals.

All right, all right, all right.

It's St. Anthony's and George Washington.

And that was a game decided by one single point.

And you know how close that is, right, Boom?

Can't get any closer, Craigie.

Listen, Anthony's was dope this year, 23-4, but George Washington played 27 games.

They were 26-1.

Means they don't lose a lot.

Again, the Maryland education coming through.

I should point out that the game today features not one, but two stud players.

Anthony Keller, who's got Russell Westbrook's stats, Boom.

Don't insult the kid by comparing him to Westbrook.

Boomer, the kid's great.

His numbers are awesome.

23 points, seven boards, and ten dishes.

Yeah, let me guess, the same number of championships as Westbrook as well, right?

See, now you're just being mean, man.

On the other side of the court, you know who I'm talking about.

G-Dub senior stud Eduardo Jimenez.

This kid was the league MVP, and his numbers are more Jordan-esque.

30 points per game.

That's a bunch of monster numbers for both these kids, meaning... Huh?

You're just playing all around about it.

But as usual, your brilliant statistical analysis left out one major point.

I'm sorry.

Unless I talk to you about something, this is a good time.

It's all good.

What did I miss?

One of those studs, Keller.

He's hurt, and he's not gonna be available game time.

How come I'm always the last to know these things?

I think I got a sure thing.

A real sure thing.

Excuse me.

I'm gonna find out what's going on.

Let's go to the update with Jerry.

Jerry Reckless here on the fan.

Gentlemen, clap it up.

Anthony?

Coach, what are you doing here?

What happened to you?

Well, I thought Coach Ray called you, right?

I just took a little fall.

It's gonna heal fine.

You know, Doc just said I couldn't miss playing today.

It's a waste of trip.

Sorry to hear that, Anthony.

Why don't you send us leaving now?

I hope you heal up soon, son.

I will.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's fine.

I'll try some soon.

Captains, congratulations for getting to the final.

We have two great teams and we expect great things tonight.

We're gonna let the referees ref, we're gonna let you guys play.

Okay?

Best of luck.

Let's shake hands and have a great game.

Yo, Saint, man, I smashed up about your leg.

Look at it this way.

You saved yourself the embarrassment of getting

a beat down in front of such a big crowd.

Yo, go fuck yourself!

Fuck you!

Fuck you!

Come on, lad.

Watch how I treat you.

First play, watch how I treat you.

First play, come see me.

Make sure you come see me.

I need you.

We're gonna start the game with a double technical foul.

We got a technical foul, 44 gold.

Technical foul, 34 black.

That's it.

It's not about you.

Do you hear those howls?

Do you hear them?

There's

gonna be a lot of talking tonight.

Watch what the fuck happens, boy.

All right, Ty.

You got it, buddy.

We're gonna get back to the game.

We're gonna get back to the game.

Put your left, Billy, put your left.

That's right.

You better fucking press here.

Yo, it's nothing.

It's gonna be like that all fucking night.

You're weak, you little pussy.

Lock his ass up!

Bring the fire, bring the fire, bring the flame.

What the fuck?

It's not about that!

It's about the fight.

Come on, Ty!

Yeah!

Where you at coach?

Who's gonna guard me?

Shot!

Shot!

Bang bang!

Don't let him shoot!

Cut!

Cut!

Bang bang!

I tell him, hit!

Hit like my man, my man!

Tell him, hit!

He won't stop!

Yeah!

Oh yeah, man!

I tell him, hit!

Hit!

He won't stop!

Hit!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, man.

Five seconds fellas, back on D.

No need to shoot or play.

Nothing easy.

Push on the miss!

Watch out, Big Jack!

Shoot

it!

Shoot it!

Get ahead!

Here we go!

I tell him, hit!

He won't stop!

Hit!

You believe we're up?

I'll be right back.

Coach Coulson, Jenny Keller, Anthony's mom.

I remember.

Sorry about the knee.

Thanks.

This is going to be good to go by the fall.

Um, do you mind if I join you for a sec?

I get insanely nervous at this big game.

Thanks.

That was a great trip.

Love to see you.

Your support really means a lot to us.

Let's go Wolves!

You

guys are doing it.

You're fucking doing it.

Now don't let up.

Let's go.

Help.

Step in.

Come on Jack, get aggressive.

Over there.

We step on the throw.

We end their season.

That's it.

Good defense.

Good defense.

Good block.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You got it.

There you go.

Good play.

One, two, three, right foul.

One, two, three.

Yeah!

They've got nothing left.

Swing it.

Big play.

Are you sedated?

Come on.

Let's go.

Give me the post-hockeying.

Hey!

Whoa!

Professor,

do you have room for us?

Everything's fine.

For a short thing, they like to keep it close.

You got that right.

Come on, Keith!

Excuse me.

You're in my way.

I can't see.

You might escape this one, Professor.

Ready?

One, two... Gah!

Gah!

Gah!

It's alright.

It's alright.

Get back.

Get back.

Anthony!

Yo, Cornel!

No deny!

No shot!

Nothing!

Bring it!

Bring it!

Bring it!

Hey, P-Leg motherfucker, come on!

Go, go, go!

Shooter!

Shooter!

Shooter, step up!

Alright.

Look, all my guy wants to do is beat me.

So?

So I'm gonna let him.

Alright, so what's gonna go down?

Bring it in.

Alright.

Rules on three.

One, two, three.

Rules!

Get up!

You're gonna call this, right?

Wow.

What's up, sweetheart?

What's up?

You ready?

Huh?

You ready to get locked down by a white boy?

You're kinda cute.

You got a sister?

How old is she?

You think it's funny, huh?

It's not gonna be funny when I beat your ass.

Let's go!

What you got, princess?

You got no respect out here!

Look at me!

Look at me when I talk to you!

Give me that motherfucking holiday.

Swing it!

You don't need a basket!

Come on, you got five seconds, bro.

You better go somewhere with it.

Four.

What you got?

What you got?

Three.

What you got?

Two.

See ya!

Oh, shit!

To the hole!

To the hole!

Clear the floor.

Fifteen's the shooter.

Alright!

Alright!

Bring it in!

Let's go!

You got this, Saint!

You got it!

You the man.
