361
00:15:58,891 --> 00:16:02,292
Only somehow...Things went wrong.
362
00:16:04,397 --> 00:16:06,463
It was as if the other team
363
00:16:06,465 --> 00:16:09,599
followed my father's strategyto the "t."
364
00:16:13,438 --> 00:16:17,207
Blocked shot!
Number 55, southwestern!
365
00:16:17,209 --> 00:16:20,310
And the moremy team fell behind,
366
00:16:20,312 --> 00:16:22,946
the more I resented my Dad.
367
00:16:28,687 --> 00:16:31,355
I guess magicdoesn't last forever
368
00:16:31,357 --> 00:16:34,391
no matter how muchyou wish it would.
369
00:16:34,393 --> 00:16:37,261
Destiny can turn on a dime...
370
00:16:38,431 --> 00:16:39,729
and cut like a knife.
371
00:16:39,731 --> 00:16:41,798
Southwestern with the rebound!
372
00:16:45,971 --> 00:16:49,206
That night, a high-schooldream of victory came true.
373
00:16:51,644 --> 00:16:53,210
But not for us.
374
00:16:55,147 --> 00:16:57,648
2 points, southwestern!
375
00:16:57,650 --> 00:17:01,485
And as they pumped inpoint after point,
376
00:17:01,487 --> 00:17:04,388
Bobby Riddle’sseason of glory ended...
377
00:17:06,892 --> 00:17:08,258
in defeat.

00:17:17,469 --> 00:17:18,602
Final score...

00:17:18,604 --> 00:17:24,241
southwestern Bengals 76,
McKinley knights 65.
382
00:17:24,243 --> 00:17:25,909
Thank you.
383
00:17:34,019 --> 00:17:37,288
We sat there for a long time.
384
00:17:37,290 --> 00:17:41,258
I just wasn't ready to leave.
385
00:17:41,260 --> 00:17:44,895
Somehow I just couldn'tquite believe it was over.
386
00:17:47,767 --> 00:17:51,502
Besides, I figured,we'd stuck together in victory,
387
00:17:51,504 --> 00:17:53,570
we'd stick together in defeat.
388
00:17:56,708 --> 00:18:00,010
Bobby?
389
00:18:00,012 --> 00:18:01,478
You played a good game, man.
390
00:18:02,982 --> 00:18:04,781
It wasn't your fault.
391
00:18:04,783 --> 00:18:08,152
They had their whole team
on you.
392
00:18:08,154 --> 00:18:10,387
Besides, we wouldn't have
even gotten this far
393
00:18:10,389 --> 00:18:12,823
if it wasn't for you.
394
00:18:12,825 --> 00:18:16,393
It was a homage to a guyI really admired.
395
00:18:16,395 --> 00:18:18,829
A real hero.
396
00:18:18,831 --> 00:18:20,597
We?
397
00:18:22,902 --> 00:18:26,102
Hey, get off my back,
will you, kid?
398
00:18:33,813 --> 00:18:36,580
I'll never forgethow I felt at that moment.
399
00:18:36,582 --> 00:18:39,683
I wanted to crawlunder the floorboards.
400
00:18:39,685 --> 00:18:43,587
And I was sure that everyonein that arena had heard.
401
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,459
And everyone had.
402
00:18:56,067 --> 00:18:57,867
Things were pretty quietheading home.
403
00:18:57,869 --> 00:19:00,003
There wasn't much to say.
404
00:19:00,906 --> 00:19:05,942
I'd made an idiot of myself.I knew it.
405
00:19:05,944 --> 00:19:09,579
And worse,I knew he knew it too.
406
00:19:10,582 --> 00:19:12,383
Tell you what...
407
00:19:12,385 --> 00:19:15,219
There's a diner
a few Miles up here.
408
00:19:15,221 --> 00:19:17,654
Mind if we stop
for a cup of coffee?
409
00:19:19,558 --> 00:19:21,325
Sure, Dad.
410
00:19:21,327 --> 00:19:22,792
Why not?
411
00:19:24,296 --> 00:19:27,197
I'd always heardcoffee went well with crow.
412
00:19:31,136 --> 00:19:34,103
The thing is, I wasn't surewhich he was gonna do first...
413
00:19:34,105 --> 00:19:36,807
bust me for beinga snotty-nosed wiseguy
414
00:19:36,809 --> 00:19:39,976
or gloat about the game.
415
00:19:39,978 --> 00:19:41,778
You know, Kev...
416
00:19:41,780 --> 00:19:44,481
My guess was gloat.
417
00:19:46,151 --> 00:19:49,052
They really didn't play
that bad.
418
00:19:49,054 --> 00:19:52,188
- What?
- Your team.
419
00:19:52,190 --> 00:19:54,825
They gave it
a pretty good shot, right?
420
00:19:54,827 --> 00:19:56,860
Dad, they got creamed.
421
00:19:56,862 --> 00:19:59,663
And that Bobby kid,
he did okay. Don't you think?
422
00:19:59,665 --> 00:20:03,733
I mean, good ball handler,
tough from the corner.
423
00:20:03,735 --> 00:20:06,870
And that little
loopy jump shot.
424
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:10,708
And that's when I realized...he wasn't just gonna gloat,
425
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:14,311
he was gonna take Bobby Riddleand rub him into me till I...
426
00:20:14,313 --> 00:20:15,512
look, Dad.
427
00:20:16,748 --> 00:20:20,551
In the first place,
Bobby stunk, okay?
428
00:20:20,553 --> 00:20:22,685
In the second place,
he's not that good.
429
00:20:22,687 --> 00:20:24,687
He was never that good, okay?
430
00:20:24,689 --> 00:20:27,724
So I'm sorry you had to
waste your time coming down.
