San Francisco
literally took our hearts.

The heart of the program.

Like, we're in the bus back,

and you're like, "Okay. We aren't
anything like we thought we were."

"We're not that good."

It felt different.

Like, my two years
leading up to that game,

and then getting in the bus after,

there was a before and after, for sure.

It was like in Space Jams.
Like, they took all our talent.

It was in this basketball in the north.

I literally felt that.

Like we left it up there.

That San Francisco City loss
was definitely a humbling experience,

because it was the most anticipated game
up to date.

Everyone wanted to keep tabs on that game,

and for him to go out
with his biggest loss ever,

I think he's pissed off more than ever.

I couldn't find no presence today.
There was no presence.

And I took a step back,
because I wanted to see if anybody else...

because usually,
I try to provide the presence,

and give it, like, "Let's go."

There was no presence. It's a dead spirit.

And nobody's spirit took over.

We done it before,
if we have to provide that.

But if I gotta provide it, it's different.
Then, like, we on the track.

Like, tomorrow, I'mma provide it.

Okay? So we here at 7:30 tomorrow.

If I gotta... If my spirit gotta take over...
'Cause my original was here at 11.

But 7:30, we're here tomorrow.

Yeah, I can hold you accountable
for every little detail.

And I'll do that until it's a habit.

But that's not gonna win us
a state championship.

We gotta build men here.
We gotta build you.

I see every rep you miss.

I see every slide you don't do.

I see every time
you don't go for the rebound.

You think we don't see it,
and I'll just be like, "Huh."

"I thought he was different."

But I gotta realize you here for a reason.

I remember last year, man.
This dude right here.

Y'all don't know what that dude
was going through last year.

That dude was here, firm.

Didn't get paid... It's a couple...
Like a little tiny stipend, or whatever.

Now, that's a man right there.

He made us better.

We're 29 and 1 because of him,

that year, because of him.

If he showed up with his burdens,

like half of y'all showed up
with whatever burden you got

that didn't help us get better today...

Whatever you had going
didn't help us!

Didn't freaking help us!

Whatever you had going on

didn't help us today.

He had problems.

He should have been depressed.

Freaking alcoholic.

Freaking crackhead.

But he made us better
with crackhead problems.

Look at this.

That's a man.

He be trying to get up in here,
pulling in front of me,

in front of all y'all.
Like, "Dawg, I'm here!"

"I'm present!"

"I'm freaking present!"

He's present!

He's a man!

You come in with a little tiny issue...

...and we sucked today.

You know, you calling back to back.
"I can't wait to get out."

"Hello. Yeah, I'm here, yeah."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm ready to go."

"Ready to go!"

Where's everybody at now?
You ready... for criticism?

You ready for how grimy and tough it is?
You ready?

I'm gonna make it hard for 'em.
I'm gonna create adverse situations.

I'mma make practices hard.

I'mma talk to 'em
like they're crazy sometimes.

I'mma challenge them and turn the screws.

I'mma turn it all the way till it's pain,
just to take 'em to that breaking point,

so that they'll be ready
for the next level.

They'll say, "You know what?
I went through enough to survive Mosley."

I'mma take them through hell,
but I'mma love them.

But the next level,
they may not love you like I love you.

- How late y'all staying up?
- It depends.

- On what?
- If I argue with my girl or not.

Ah, you still arguing
with your girl?

If I get home, and the first thing I do
is argue with her,

I'm not going to bed
until 2:00 a.m., I know.

That's the issue,
'cause you're not getting proper rest,

you're gonna feel hurt
every time you step on the floor.

So, I'm a little disappointed,

because I know
the type of players y'all are,

and the type of talent y'all possess.

I expected you to go out there
and play with everything you got.

Sometimes I don't see no fire,
and that's the disappointing part.

You should always leave
an imprint on the game. You ought to.

Because y'all athletically gifted.

You play 15 minutes with one rebound.

Like, that should never ever happen, ever.

That's the quickest way
for big-time coaches to be off you.

You're not wrong.

You probably be getting
one, two rebounds a minute, easy.

I think you had
one good game up in the Bay,

and then the rest was like,

"Where's Shemar at?"
You know what I'm saying?

That shouldn't happen
with guys with y'all talent.

You gotta fix that.

You gotta play like, "Man,
I ain't got shit else to go back to."

Let's stop letting dudes think
they can play with us.

My whole thing is getting into a rhythm.

I feel like once I get into a rhythm,
everything gonna shake.

Out of my biggest games and
whenever I performed the best,

it was just energy with me.

It's like coming in
with that energy and understanding...

- I can see.
- "I gotta pick everybody up" -type shit.

No, I can see that,
because when your energy up,

you leading by example, you look great.

But then you have days where

it look like you be in your feelings.
I don't know why.

You know, it could be the girl.

Could be going through
this JUCO stuff.

You know. But if you do
what you're supposed to do,

you're gonna set yourself up
to be at a great situation.

Next weekend,
we go to San Bernardino Tournament.

San Bernardino's always top 10.

Then we go play Santa Monica,
which is the same high level.

So you're talking about San Francisco,
come back down.

You lose a day,
'cause we all tired from driving.

- Yeah.
- You gotta try to practice.

You only got two or three days
to practice for another gauntlet.

Normally, I space out... I'll be like,

"All right, easy weekend, hard weekend,
easy weekend, hard weekend."

This is like hard weekend, hard weekend,
hard weekend, and I'm like, "Man."

I mean, it'd been cool to go up there,
and win those three games to start,

and beat San Francisco City,
but it didn't happen that way.

I never expected Bryan to come in
and just be, you know, dominating.

There's a reason why he's here.

There's a reason why he had to deal with
stuff at University of Washington, LSU.

And those are things
we gotta help him through.

He's yet to have
a dominant performance

at the college level at any level.

I don't know if he scored
10 points in a game.

- No.
- In any game.

So, in my mind,
I expected him to do it game one,

because he's just such a dominant talent.

If he can make it through
and deal with... I'mma poke at him.

I'mma turn the screws on him.

If he quits, then he's gonna have the same
issues regardless of wherever he goes.

Then Shemar, man... I was hoping
he would be a little more dynamic

in that, with the freedom
that was out there,

he would have did a lot more.

But it's the third game,
and I can't fault these guys, man.

They all tried to do
what we asked them to do.

For us to have as much talent as we have,
we shouldn't have got beat by that bad,

which means I didn't do a good job
of preparing them for this game.

That's my fault.
We gotta redo the foundation. Period.

We got twenty-something,
thirty-something games left, so...

And the games we have next week,
we need to fill this hole back up.

We basically playing a ranked opponent
every game, you know, the first months.

And not just any ranked opponent.
Like, we got the top half of the rankings.

You got the San Berns
and Santa Monicas and,

you know,
they all top-ten teams in the state,

so we're not gonna be able
to take one game off this year.

We just got to lock in more
to what we should be doing,

like focusing more on doing
what the program is known for.

John's pretty narrow-minded
when it comes to how he wants it to look.

He wants to play really fast,
but he wants it to be done a specific way.

Right now, we just not there.

Trying to figure out how we can speed up
that learning curve, man.

How can we speed that curve up?

John's frustrated, because this is
the first time he hasn't had returners,

and he's used to the returners being
the first guys in line doing the drill.

And he's finding himself having to...

coach, like, every minute
of practice in detail,

because our returners,
they haven't retained it

like his returners have in the past,
and he's very frustrated.

Here we go!
The defense sucks, man.

Five seconds.
This spot has one-one thousand. Go!

Man!

He was on some shit, bro.
This whole week.

He be trying to correct the shit
we've been messing up.

- Details.
- Yeah, a lot of details.

Everything that goes bad,
"You the returner!"

"Why you ain't doing this and that?"
I'm like, "Damn, bro."

I'm the only goddamn returner.
What the shit?

Cut! Move, Dez!

It doesn't matter
if I'm doing it the right way.

- Finish it!
- As long as I'm doing it his way.

The least you can do is be sharp!
The least you can do is be sharp!

So, if he asks me to change something,
I'm just gonna be like,

"Oh yeah, it's your house."

You don't get nothing unless you earn it.

Man! You gotta go get that thing, man!

Go get that mug!

Rebound.

Shemar, go get on the towel.
Somebody get Shemar.

Come on, Shemar.

I'mma break you of that, of posing.
You just posed.

That's not true, bruh.

Bro. Oh my God.

- You the only person that pose.
- That's how I shoot!

- We gotta fix that. Here we go.
- Come on, Dez.

Can't take no days off with this hater.

I'm so tired, bro.

Run!

I'm just like...

Stop. Stop.

Start it again. Let's get everybody set.

You gotta be behind.
Make sure he's behind you.

Stop! When the ball goes to the corner,
that guy's gotta be sprinting.

Next group. Give me trot
until we get it right.

- Go that way, Jon.
- Okay.

You gotta be sprinting.

- Okay, now you know.
- Travel all the way through.

It's because whenever we run the play,
we run it one specific way.

Then, when we run it a different way
you get mad when somebody's confused.

Shut up! Shut up!

Yo, be quiet!

Talking too much when I'm talking.
Shut up.

Want me to shut up,
you don't have to say "Shut up."

Get out! Get out, then. Get out!

- Damn!
- What the fuck is you on?

What's wrong with him?

We say, "To the corner."

- He's so defiant.
- What did he say?

Yeah.

Let's go.

I have no problem getting out.

Try again tomorrow.

I don't know
what Mosley wants.

Right now, we are so lost,
and we're just so tired.

I don't know why I'm on the bench.

In San Francisco, I didn't play at all.

Well, it's hard not playing,

especially when you know
you're the best on the court.

He was shocked. He was hurt.

He was really upset that he didn't play.

I wanted to quit every
single second I sat down on that bench.

In this program,
you do what Coach Mo says.

You do it like he wants you to do it,
and if you deviate from that,

you're going to have problems.

The first time he talked to me,
he just told me nothing was gonna be easy.

I think that was an understatement.

DC! Play!

DC ain't know
where he's supposed to be.

DC, Rebound!

- Get out, so I can go.
- I'm trying!

You can't fuck the rest of the team up
'cause you want to score.

You gotta be patient, all right?

Coach Mosley wants no chaos,
and DC brings chaos to the floor.

I've always had coaches yelling at me.
Maybe because they see something in me.

Work it with him.
Work it with his left hand.

- That's not what we teach.
- Come on, DC.

If you don't make the right play,
I will not put you out there.

I know I have
a strong personality coming off.

Yeah, I like looking good
and all that stuff.

But that doesn't define
the dog that's in somebody.

I'd rather go to a Pac-12,
'cause it's my dream.

I want my dream.

I'm trying to get sponsored
by Nike, Mercedes, and Apple.

I've seen them play.
I can play with these guys.

My savvy and my IQ.

- You gonna be a model?
- I want to be a model on my own terms.

- You gonna do nude modeling.
- What?

- Take pictures in your underwear.
- This guy.

I'll do that when I get to the NBA.

I feel for DC,
because he's got expectations on him.

Dad's an NBA player.

And Calip brings it down.

His dad played
at University of Michigan.

Got a break there!

He was a national champ
with Steve Fisher.

- Steve Fisher...
- Yeah!

Then you're at the Division I level,
you come back, and there's expectations.

My dad winning
a national championship in college,

and then going to the NBA, like,

I can't go for anything less.
I actually have to go for more.

That's what I'm striving for.

To his credit,
Coach comes down on him every day,

and that fool still plays hard.
He dives on the floor.

He's fearless in taking a jump shot.

He'll jump over you.
He can jump around you.

Like, this kid is supremely talented.

I'm not sure what's going on
through my coach's head,

but I don't know what Coach doesn't want
to see in a competitor.

So, I'm just doing what I can,
and hopefully he likes it.

Don't call for the ball. If you don't make
the right play, I'll tell you.

- Okay, bro.
- DC! Listen.

Time-out. Everybody, baseline.

Shut the fuck up!

- Stop talking!
- Listen!

- Shut up.
- Nobody wants your opinion.

I'm hoping DC can just get in line
with Mo and be able to function.

I'm not optimistic, but I am hopeful.

What you think
about everything right now, so far?

I think
it's a little bit tough,

because I feel like
I can't do anything right.

And even though I try,

I feel like I get the short end
of the stick a lot of the time.

Mm-hmm. Why? Why do you think that?

I'm not sure.
That's why it's so frustrating to me.

Okay. How can you get your shot
at what we do?

That's the thing I don't know.

And every day,
I try to figure out another way,

and it's been hard to figure out lately.

Tell me what your life looks like... in May.

I feel like by the time the year's over,
I should have some D1 offers.

Okay. What type of production
do you need for that to happen?

I think 15, 8, and 5.

Eight what?

Assists or rebounds.

Okay. Why do you say those numbers?

'Cause those numbers can't be denied.

So, just to help you,

what you need to realize is
that you think things are important,

and we don't make sense.

And you might be right,

but I'm gonna do it this way.

And if you're going away from that,

then you're gonna look awful,
no matter how much game you got.

We're all going the wrong way, fine.

We gonna look good going the wrong way.

And you'll look bad going the right way.

So if I'm wrong, and you right,

let's just all be wrong
and look good at it.

- Feel me?
- Yeah.

That's all I'm saying.

I know you got an idea about basketball.
Your dad was a great player.

You got pedigree.

But a part of your dad
getting to where he got,

I'm sure there was some humility there.

There was some humbling to be coached.

But he made it, and you haven't yet.

We got enough that
I don't have to play you at all. Zero.

Your ability is there,
but you in another world right now.

Your opinions aren't lining up
with what we doing.

I'm fair-warning you,

if they continue to drift that direction,
you won't play.

All right. You need to go to church too.
You been going to church?

To church?

What you laughing at?

Nah, I... Church is just not my thing,
but I do believe in all that stuff.

- It's all good. All you.
- I have a different way...

- You've got a different way of what?
- Speaking to God.

Do you, man. All right.

Hey, we gonna have
some nice tops for the bench, though.

That's some good stuff.

Just in case, if guys
that's gotta sit on the bench and stuff...

We're gonna be cool with it.
All right, bro.

- See ya, Coach.
- All right.

It's a soggy chair, yo.

He don't get it, dawg.

Nah, he's clueless.

Good job in the kitchen, DC.

- Real proud of you, buddy.
- I tried.

I can tell.

This nigga DC
really got a choker on?

No, you don't.
Stop it. Come here.

I don't have a choker.

That chain is tight as hell,
which scared me, bro.

Bro, I'm exhausted, man.

This whole week, I been
mentally preparing for it

to be the hardest shit we ever done.

Exactly.
It's gonna be running, towels, this, that.

We just gonna be running.

- Gotta do what he say.
- We're a good track team.

I just hate
when he makes us run for anything.

Like that day when he was like,
"I don't like niggas' faces."

Yo!

- That was so mean, bro!
- That was so crazy!

I was like, "No way."

I was like, "How we looking?
How we looking?"

- Not appealing!
- Bro, it ain't nothing to it.

All I'm focusing on is doing
exactly what that nigga says.

- That's it.
- That's it.

He tell me to get low, I'm getting low.
"Do this." I'm doing this.

"For that second,
I'm just gonna get low."

"It's gonna hurt like hell right now,
but I'mma be cool in ten seconds."

"It's gonna be aight."

We still going at 2:00 tomorrow?

- Or practice start at 12:00?
- No. It's early.

Early!

Aw, shit.
It is at 12:00 tomorrow.

Brah, I miss home so bad.

If you really want to see something...
Have you been here to do this vacuuming?

This vacuum works
for two to three minutes, kid you not.

I don't know what it is.

This thing will go on
for two to three minutes.

It's gonna shut off,
and it won't work for another 24 hours.

But then it'll give me
two to three minutes again.

So, the sprint is about to happen
until this thing goes off.

If you'll come in here, you'll be like,

"How come half the locker room
looks good each day?"

Because I can only get to half
before the damn thing breaks down, man.

And John...

who has more than enough money
in the fund to get us a new...

get us a new vacuum cleaner,

this fool is so efficient and used to
being broke in basketball his whole life

that he spent 40 bucks to try and fix it
over COVID, instead of getting a new one.

So...

Here goes the sprint.

This is real.

Let's go.

Oh, c'mon, man. C'mon, now.

Yeah, let's go!

Here we go!

We're close.

So, that's... right here.
I almost made it.

I almost made it.

That's a junior college vacuum cleaner...
right there.

Ten... eleven.

You preparing for Cali JUCO
or the NBA, Bryan?

You jumping like...

Shoot. You need to be preparing
for the highest level.

Hey!

Yeah, Shemar, he can't catch lobs.
That's a good pass.

- Boy!
- Red on this side.

- Black over there.
- C'mon, Red.

You threw him a nice one like this,
and that fool's like...

- Oh my gosh.
- That should've been like, "Yeah!"

He need it right here, so he can go...

"Hey!"

Good pass, boy.

- Idy!
- Recover!

- Come here.
- Come on, Idy!

- Hey!
- Idy! That's soft!

He can't even jump.

Yeah...

He's out, he's out. Here we go.

I got three niggas wrapping me up
every fucking time. Just hugging me.

You tell me
what your expectations are, Bryan.

What's your expectations?

No, no, no, no. I'm just saying.
I wanna know your expectations.

- I need a drink.
- Every time I'm on.

- I just got...
- I'm going back to the Power Five.

- That's the way you gotta think.
- All right.

Not, "Let me get a break and some water."

Hey, bro. I need to breathe.
Not sure what the fuck you talking about.

You're acting like
niggas can go fucking 24/7.

I'm supposed to go every fucking rep?

- You're not ready.
- C'mon, second time.

- You ain't gonna be tired at all.
- Yes, I am. That's what a sub is for.

What you talking about?

Running like this.
Running like this across the floor.

I'm not the nicest person
in the world, according to other people.

The narrative is that
I'm hard to work with, or that I'm moody,

or I'm a hothead.

And what person doesn't have a temper?

It's more of a mental battle here,
I would say,

than it has been before at other places,

simply because it is very hard out there.

It's very chaotic.

Hold up.

Bryan! You could have blocked the shot.

That's what the NBA guy looking for.

Missed shot, get it up, beat it up.

Now you go to the league.

Being a seven-foot monster
comes with expectations,

and none of us
can understand that pressure.

None of us.

I mean, can you imagine showing up
to your first day on the job,

and everybody's like, "You're the best.
You're the savior."

"Now go out there
and do this incredible thing."

In every team he's walked on,
that's how they've seen him,

and he just wasn't quite ready
to be the guy.

These big guys. At, like, 12,
they're bigger than everybody.

What they go through when they're
15, 16, 17, and these guys are giants,

they are expected
to be more mature, physical, tough

than everybody because they're big.

How long you been
dealing with the problem?

I've had the knee issues for as long as
I can remember, but it's like,

as of late, the swelling's been
going on for about... three days?

He went from six feet
to seven feet in five years.

Of course, I'm tall, but I don't
really recall having growing pains.

I was in the hospital with him
all the time.

Like, "What is going on with my kid?"

They were like, "He's stretching."
It was always in his knees.

Just aching pains, like, all the time.

These motherfuckers hurt, man.

By the time he was graduating from
high school, he was 6'11", almost 7'.

Being one of the top-rated players
out of high school.

He's a force. He's dominant.

That's what you expect.

But you still have
to teach them how to be big.

I started playing basketball
right when I got to high school.

Whenever times got hard,

I kinda distracted myself with basketball
and put myself in the work.

It happened out of nowhere.

He finished high school,
and he had 21 or 22 offers.

A lot of schools said
I had a lot of potential.

They were interested in my potential.
They kept saying, "Potential."

I think it was definitely appearances
and just seeing someone at that age,

at that height, with that ability.

All of a sudden,
he goes to University of Washington.

Why does he go there?
Again, because he's big.

Not because he's playing big.

And then he has a tough time there.

It was always
a constant something.

Getting injured.
Redshirted because he had to heal.

Not getting any playing time.

And then he transferred to LSU,
because he figured,

"I go to LSU, I'll get more playing time."

He decides to transfer and goes to LSU,
which is an even tougher level.

Why did he go there?

It's because, again, he's physically big,

but is his game big?

Is he taught how to be big?

LSU was honestly a great situation
for me. I was really happy at LSU.

I felt like the work I was putting in

was definitely building my career
in the right path.

First semester at LSU,
I had failed a math exam.

They basically told me that I was
ineligible based off of failing the class.

I couldn't play for the year.

I had to go home. That felt like failure.

You know what dark space
you go to when you leave LSU?

You're seven foot,

you left the SEC resources,

and now you at home,
sleeping on the couch.

He ended up at ELAC.

Then he started beating himself up
about it, and I said, "You know what?"

"Things happen.
We have been through worse situations,

and we've crawled out of every situation."

I say it's basketball rehab.

It's because it's a period of isolation,

and you have to build,
and you have to grow from it.

I don't have a choice.
I have to teach him how to be big.

I think Bryan just never learned.

He's the biggest force
in California, probably.

So I have to teach him.

Come on, Bryan! Come on, Bryan!

Block. Bryan, you gotta block.
You killing us. You killing us, Bryan.

- I got you.
- You had enough rest!

- I said okay. I got you.
- Being freaking lazy.

It's a struggle coming in here
every day and just being optimistic.

You know, he yells so loud.

He's so loud, every day.

You gotta just kinda
come in prepared for that.

And just come in prepared for
the intensity and the level of the work.

Don't let him catch right away.
Here we go. Wall up! Wall up!

All right, see? See what happens?

Whatever Mosley's
putting us through,

I feel like I've been working a long time.

Now I'm just ready
to take that next step, so...

I've had a very hard time

in life sometimes when I look back on it,

and basketball has been kind of like
the easiest route out of all of that, so...

giving up would be a lot harder
than it is to just get up every single day

and go play a game for a couple hours.

So yeah, I'm gonna stick with it.

Freaking bus is late.
It was supposed to be here at 1:30.

We gotta freaking drive these vans.
I need...

Can't find the van.

Hey. Can you call the sheriff
and tell them to open Bobby's office?

I need to... get this...
one of these van keys.

- Yes.
- Tell him I'm down there.

About to be late. Freaking bus is stuck.

Tournament games are
the toughest for basketball,

in junior college or even high school.

I think tournament play's so tough
because in preparation for the next game,

any little thing can go wrong.

You got these van keys messed up?
I see a number three.

Each van has a spare set of keys
at the sheriff's station.

Now we got another gauntlet of a
tournament, the same level of competition.

Call to the sheriff's
and tell him I'm picking up a van.

Tell him to have a key ready for me, man.

Let me call him.

Cerwin! You laughing, bro.
This ain't funny.

I'm not laughing 'cause it's funny.

- This ain't cool, man.
- All right.

Freaking rinky-dink, bro.

Can we get through
that adversity and still have success?

That's the biggest challenge this year.

Thanks, man.

Rob. We got everything loaded up
down there?

- We good.
- All right.

That's what I do, Coach.
That's what I do.

Only in JUCO, yo. Only in JUCO.

Welcome back inside

the San Bernardino Valley College
Athletic Complex.

Glad you could join us.
A top-five matchup.

The San Bernardino Valley College
Wolverines taking on the East LA Huskies.

- We are underway.
- Here we go.

Huskies come in
with a 3 and 1 record.

Wolverines come in battle-tested
with a 1 and 2 record,

which should not be taken lightly.

- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!

Brandon Wilson will open up
the scoreboard for East LA.

2 to 0, just like that.

- Jon Sanders attacking with the steal.
- Yeah, Jon!

Gets a friendly roll.

Let's go!

Huskies off to
a great start here.

Get around, Bryan! Get around!

Armon Muldrew attacks the cup.

Layup good.

Wolverines trail to your Huskies here.

- Bryan!
- Hook shot.

Go in!

Too strong on
that attempt by Penn-Johnson.

Here's Daniels with the basketball.
Bounces it over to Makoi.

And the flush inside.

- Yeah, go ahead. Get Bryan.
- Chester Makoi with the dunk.

Oh my God.

Subbing in for the Huskies, 20.

And Johnson will get
a breather.

What y'all doing?
Energy up, come on.

Pesky Wolverines
with the basketball.

A steal by Cofield.

Cofield coast to coast... slams it home.

Gladney will be inbounding
from the baseline.

High rainbow pass
into the hands of Wilson, wide open.

- Get in!
- Friendly roll!

- That's a shooter right there!
- C'mon, B!

Got a 23-19 ball game.

- Huskies on top.
- Go get, um...

Go get... No, no, no. Let me try Chris.

- Let's try Chris. Chris, let's go.
- Let's go, Chrissy. Come on, boy.

Let's go.

Hey, give him some wiggle.
He's gonna foul you. C'mon.

Inbounding it is Sanders.

Here's Christian Oliver
losing the dribble.

Daniels attacks... as Makoi...

Makoi with the slam!

- High low, pressure!
- Coach Mosley has seen enough.

- Lock it up, Jon!
- No cuts!

- Daniels blocks Jon Sanders.
- High low!

- Now get in the lane!
- That's Addison on top to Thompson.

Deep three. Splashes home.

Gosh, bro. You can jump higher than that.

Wolverines are not gonna
make it easy for East LA.

Sanders will take a three of his own.

- Good job, JT. And one!
- Way off.

Shemar.

- Langston will go the free throw line.
- That's a good...

That's not a good contest.
You can jump higher than that, right?

We practiced jumping higher than that.
I just...

They gonna make 'em with that.

B! Let's go.

Seven-footer
Bryan Penn-Johnson back on the floor.

Husky, Husky! Husky, Husky!

- Give it to him.
- Down low to Penn-Johnson.

- We got a jump ball.
- Jump ball going the other way.

Turnover against the Huskies.

Three-point attempt. No good.

Penn-Johnson, rebound. He'll turn it over.

Oh!

And the jumper gives
the Wolverines back the lead of 36-35.

Good block by Penn-Johnson.

- And the jumper, good.
- Time-out. Time-out.

- Brandon Thompson.
- Time-out!

Pissing me the fuck off, bro.

How do we not follow, B?

Have a seat.

Penn-Johnson
gets off the floor in frustration.

High tension now for the Huskies.

If I contest the first one,
I need someone to follow the second one.

Like, come on.

That's simple fucking basketball.

That's Muldrew to Thompson.
Deep three.

Twenty-six footer, good!

Get a stop, Green!

Oh my God.

Hey, JT, can you talk on defense for me?

Tyrelle, can you talk for me?

I didn't even think college
was gonna last more than a year for me.

I was like,
"I'm out of here in nine months."

I was cocky. "I'm not gonna be here long.
Don't worry about it."

When he signs with
the University of Washington,

he's sitting behind NBA guys,
like, first-rounders,

and he expected to do so well.

On the court,
a lot of promises were made,

and there would be times where

basically the entire team would be playing
besides me,

and I would literally be
the only person on the bench.

Fucking put me back in. Put me back in.

He's wondering,
"Why am I not playing?"

He still had things to learn.

He hadn't been in enough programs

to know what it took
to earn your way through.

Bryan got frustrated too early,

and if he would've just waited,

he'd probably been the man there
the last two years.

Good job, JT.

At that time, I just felt
really embarrassed, I would say,

as a person who assumed that he would
only be in college for like nine months.

That's very demoralizing.

Whenever it's like 1:30 in the morning,
and you're just staring at your ceiling,

that's when it hits the most.

The only reason I'm genuinely staying
is so that nigga don't badmouth me.

That's literally it, bro.

'Cause if he badmouths me, that's it,
you know what I'm saying?

Energy on the bench. Come on.

Fuck your energy, nigga.
Get away from me.

- You need this.
- No, get away from me.

Get away from me.

I feel like when I get upset here,

when I say, "Fuck this. I'm gonna quit,"

that's the bitterness
from U-Dub coming out.

You know what I mean?
That's just... that anger being released.

That's kinda just
how I get myself through it.

High tension
at San Bernardino Valley.

Mubarak Michael against Dez Washington.

Michael... attacking. Throws it up.

High off the glass!

Somebody guard... Somebody guard that fool!

So that makes it
a 72-66 ball game.

Wolverines threatening here to give
East LA its second loss of the season.

Cofield. He'll be inbounding
right in the corner.

Bounces it to Ty. Ty drives.

Runner good!

Get a steal!

The lob on top.

Oh, a turnover!

And it goes into the hands of the Huskies

with five seconds to go.

- Come here!
- The Huskies will need quick points now.

Sanders, three-pointer.

No. Ty Hunt there to recover. Puts it up.

Good. Time-out called
by San Bernardino Valley.

C'mon, get a steal!

Two seconds to go.

The Huskies threatening to pick up
their second loss of the season.

- They're gonna need a miracle here.
- Is Bryan's mind right?

Put him out on... Put him on ball.

Yeah, B, sub in the game. Sub.

Come on.

- BP!
- We need you. Dude, we need you.

- On the ball!
- Yup.

- We need you for this.
- For Brandon.

They gonna go long.

- Don't let them pass.
- Hey, listen.

Give us a tip.

This is the technique.
We just need a deflection, bad pass.

We need a steal and a layup.
Two seconds is a long time.

Bryan's long.
They gotta throw it way high.

You understand? So don't get... Come on!

- "Finish" on three. 1, 2, 3.
- Finish.

Jon, if you don't steal this shit,
I'm gonna be upset. Come on.

Two seconds to go.
Huskies need a miracle.

Haven't put me in the whole fucking game.

Penn-Johnson
will defend the inbound.

They can't catch the ball!

- Let's go!
- This way, Josh!

Lobs it up.

- It's stolen by Washington!
- Yeah, man! Shoot it!

Shoot that bitch!

Washington throws it up...

...but the ball gets blocked.

Huskies disappointed.

San Bernardino escapes

with a 72-70 victory over the Huskies.

I don't know. I don't know.

How are ya?

We might've lost Bryan tonight, yo.

Yep. Nobody's going to be happy tonight.

Nobody's going to be happy tonight.

Hey, Dez, boy... Dez.
It's good, yo.

That's the steal we wanted.

We shouldn't have been in that position.
That's not your fault. Keep your head up.

That's a runner from damn near half-court.
That's not your fault.

- They never should've made no free throws.
- Not your fault.

It's so much other shit.

Niggas be mad about the wrong shit.
We trying to win. This is a team effort.

This ain't no individuals, nigga.

If we all win, everybody going to school.
How about that?

You talking shit about him
ain't gonna do nothing for him.

Who you going off on, B?

The team, nigga. Everybody.

We going to the bus.
You got a game tomorrow.

It's clear. It's very clear.

Y'all niggas do not want
to see each other succeed, bro.

It's very clear.

'Cause as soon as the camera on you,
all y'all do,

"Oh, this that teamwork, yeah,
teamwork this, teamwork that."

But as soon as that shit cut off,
none of that shit, bro.

You can see... Bro, let them niggas
film you on the bench.

See how many niggas on the bench
is turnt up

for other niggas
that's playing on the court, bro.

Nobody. That shit's crazy, bro.

I don't give a fuck.
It's a team loss, nigga.

- It's everybody, bro. It ain't one person.
- Exactly, bro!

I'm saying something for a fucking reason,
'cause I'm tired of losing!

So shut the fuck up!

- Obviously not.
- Damn.

Niggas not playing as a team.
That's what the fuck it is.

I never seen nobody get mad at somebody
for telling niggas to pick each other up.

- How that work?
- I don't give a fuck!

- It was two games.
- I don't give a fuck!

We shouldn't have lost
to these bums in the first place!

You don't think we know that?
You think screaming gonna solve it?

We shouldn't talk about this.

We got a game tomorrow.
Let's talk about that.

One game at a time, bro.
One game at a time.

Today, I feel optimistic,
'cause it's game day,

and I always feel optimistic
on a game day.

Being able to turn the page.

Not to say
the last 24 hours wasn't difficult,

'cause it was.

Yesterday's contest was definitely a, uh...
That was a game that the coaches lost.

I'm worried about our big fella,

just his confidence and his frame of mind.

I'm not for sure
if he wants to be here today.

He didn't get to play much.
He's frustrated.

We gotta get him right today.
Before we even left, I told Coach,

"We have to get him on track at any cost."

He needs to play well
to give him the confidence,

'cause he's a really good player.

Could be the difference
between us winning a championship or not.

So we gotta get our big fella on track.
I'm a little worried.

There is a disconnect in our locker room,

'cause our guys think
he should be the man,

and, at this moment, he's not.

I don't think he scored last night.

We had two guys score 20-something points,

and our most highly decorated recruit
didn't get a bucket.

Aaron.

Tell B to come here.

Bryan.

Go ahead. Have a seat.

We got time.

What I need to do?
What Coach Mosley need to do?

I'm not... I'm never the one
to complain about playing time,

because I feel like
you always see something that I don't.

Yeah.

But I was like... I just felt like...

I didn't know what was going on.
That's all it is.

We just gotta get better.
We gotta get you better.

I know it can be frustrating for you,
but I gotta figure it out too.

I got to figure out how to get
to make you more successful, so...

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about what stats look like,
what you look like sitting on the bench.

Don't worry about that, bro.

- I got you.
- I know.

And before it's all said and done,

they gonna know who Bryan Penn-Johnson is.

- I got you.
- All right, bro. Love you, bro.

Go.

Um, Dez. Yeah, you got the shooter.

Uh, Bryan, you'll have the big dude
who's on that baseline.

Hey, all of you have to defend one-on-one.
It's that type of game.

Hey, let's feel good right here. I'll take
y'all to get something good to eat.

Let's get a win.
We gonna eat good. Here we go.

I like to hear that!

- "Family" on three. One, two, three!
- Family!
