1
00:00:20,107 --> 00:00:22,150
Are you fuckin' watching this?
2
00:00:22,150 --> 00:00:24,319
Yeah, I'm fuckin' watching.
3
00:00:24,319 --> 00:00:27,656
The Celtics have won
their 14th NBA World Championship
4
00:00:27,656 --> 00:00:29,491
and though Boston may be green,
5
00:00:29,491 --> 00:00:32,369
the man synonymous
with all those wins is Red.
6
00:00:32,369 --> 00:00:34,621
I could not be more proud of these boys!
7
00:00:34,621 --> 00:00:37,833
This is where hard work and determination
and teamwork come together!
8
00:00:37,833 --> 00:00:39,334
Well, he couldn't do it
without his phenom,
9
00:00:39,334 --> 00:00:41,837
a champ in just his second year
as a professional.
10
00:00:41,837 --> 00:00:44,005
And though Easter may have come and gone,
11
00:00:44,005 --> 00:00:47,509
for the Boston faithful in basketball,
they found their second coming.
12
00:01:13,660 --> 00:01:14,536
There it is
13
00:01:17,289 --> 00:01:19,081
{\an8}Yeah, ah, uh
14
00:01:19,081 --> 00:01:20,125
{\an8}Yeah
15
00:01:20,125 --> 00:01:21,084
{\an8}Okay
16
00:01:22,002 --> 00:01:23,295
{\an8}Ah, check it out
17
00:01:23,295 --> 00:01:25,463
{\an8}Death to the pigs
is my basic statement
18
00:01:25,463 --> 00:01:27,840
{\an8}I spit street stories
'til I taste the pavement
19
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,218
{\an8}Tryin' to stay out the pen
where we face enslavement
20
00:01:30,218 --> 00:01:32,345
{\an8}Had a foolproof hustle
'til they traced the payments
21
00:01:32,345 --> 00:01:34,431
{\an8}I was grippin' my palm
around some shitty rum
22
00:01:34,431 --> 00:01:36,849
{\an8}Tryin' to find psalm number 151
23
00:01:36,849 --> 00:01:39,019
{\an8}To forget what I'm owed,
as I clutch the commode
24
00:01:39,019 --> 00:01:41,563
{\an8}I read "Put down the bottle
and come get the gun"
25
00:01:41,563 --> 00:01:44,024
{\an8}Let's get off the chain like
Kunta Kinte with a MAC-10
26
00:01:44,524 --> 00:01:46,318
{\an8}They want us gone
like a dollar in a crack den
27
00:01:46,318 --> 00:01:48,445
{\an8}Steadily subtractin' seeds and stems
28
00:01:48,445 --> 00:01:50,030
{\an8}Mind cloudy through
the wheeze and phlegm
29
00:01:50,030 --> 00:01:52,324
{\an8}Numbin' my brain off of that
and the Jesus hymns
30
00:01:52,324 --> 00:01:54,785
{\an8}If we waiting for the time
to fight, these is thems
31
00:01:54,785 --> 00:01:56,787
{\an8}Tellin' us to relax
while they ease it in
32
00:01:56,787 --> 00:01:57,996
{\an8}We gettin' greased again
33
00:01:57,996 --> 00:01:59,081
{\an8}The truth I write is so cold
34
00:01:59,081 --> 00:02:00,582
{\an8}It'd freeze my pen
35
00:02:00,582 --> 00:02:02,167
{\an8}I'm Boots Riley
it's a pleasure to meet you
36
00:02:02,167 --> 00:02:04,419
{\an8}Never let they punk ass
ever defeat you
37
00:02:04,419 --> 00:02:06,671
{\an8}They got us on the corner
wearin' pleather and see-thru
38
00:02:06,671 --> 00:02:08,965
{\an8}All y'all's gold mines,
they wanna deplete you
39
00:02:08,965 --> 00:02:11,510
{\an8}I ain't just finna rap on the track,
I finna clap on 'em back
40
00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:13,053
{\an8}And it's been stackin' to that
41
00:02:13,053 --> 00:02:15,555
{\an8}500 years before Iceberg
ever leaned back in the 'lac
42
00:02:15,555 --> 00:02:17,432
{\an8}Before they told Rosa
"Black in the back"
43
00:02:17,432 --> 00:02:20,227
{\an8}Before the CIA told Ricky Ross
to put crack in a sack
44
00:02:20,227 --> 00:02:22,229
{\an8}And Gil Scott traded rappin' for smack
45
00:02:22,229 --> 00:02:24,022
{\an8}This beat alone should
get platinum plaques
46
00:02:24,022 --> 00:02:26,191
{\an8}I'd rather see a million
of us ecstatic to scrap
47
00:02:26,191 --> 00:02:28,318
{\an8}'Cause if we bappin' 'em back
we automatically stack
48
00:02:59,516 --> 00:03:01,893
Headin' in or headin' out
49
00:03:03,854 --> 00:03:05,647
Standin' on the shore
50
00:03:08,024 --> 00:03:09,735
Pause a moment to reflect
51
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,822
Which trip cost you more
52
00:03:16,283 --> 00:03:18,285
Between the ever restless crowds
53
00:03:19,619 --> 00:03:21,955
And the silence of your room
54
00:03:24,541 --> 00:03:26,418
Spend an hour in no man's land
55
00:03:28,420 --> 00:03:30,422
You'll be leavin' soon
56
00:03:34,926 --> 00:03:37,095
Victims come and victims go
57
00:03:38,180 --> 00:03:43,977
The Hoosiers have a lot to look forward to
in their '73-'74 campaign.
58
00:03:43,977 --> 00:03:47,022
You're talking about a team
that's already coming off
59
00:03:47,022 --> 00:03:49,399
a 23-and-5 season
60
00:03:49,399 --> 00:03:51,735
where they won a share
of the Big 10 Conference,
61
00:03:51,735 --> 00:03:53,070
tied with Michigan.
62
00:03:53,653 --> 00:03:55,155
Hey, Pop.
63
00:03:56,198 --> 00:03:59,117
Whatchu doing in town?
Ain't you got practice?
64
00:03:59,993 --> 00:04:02,079
Weekend off.
65
00:04:02,079 --> 00:04:03,663
Well, hell.
66
00:04:04,456 --> 00:04:06,166
Let's have a beer.
67
00:04:07,626 --> 00:04:09,127
No, thanks.
68
00:04:10,170 --> 00:04:11,797
Suit yourself.
69
00:04:11,797 --> 00:04:14,508
- How's your mama? You drop in?
- Not yet.
70
00:04:14,508 --> 00:04:16,468
I'll stop by later.
71
00:04:16,468 --> 00:04:19,262
Well, if she sent you here,
that means I'm late.
72
00:04:19,262 --> 00:04:21,431
I already told the law man.
73
00:04:21,431 --> 00:04:23,475
She ain't send me.
I wanted to see you.
74
00:04:23,475 --> 00:04:25,560
I don't know why you would.
75
00:04:26,436 --> 00:04:28,772
- Y'all'd be better off without me.
- Don't say that.
76
00:04:28,772 --> 00:04:30,357
Well, it's the truth.
77
00:04:31,733 --> 00:04:34,236
Only-est thing I ever did right
in this world was you.
78
00:04:34,903 --> 00:04:36,905
My big old college boy.
79
00:04:41,034 --> 00:04:42,244
I dropped out.
80
00:04:43,912 --> 00:04:45,163
What'd you say?
81
00:04:46,832 --> 00:04:48,500
Wasn't meant for me.
82
00:04:49,126 --> 00:04:51,628
Don't feel right there.
I ain't one of them.
83
00:04:51,628 --> 00:04:53,255
Lord gave you a ticket somewhere's better
84
00:04:53,255 --> 00:04:55,048
and you're too goddamn afraid
to cash it in.
85
00:04:55,048 --> 00:04:57,259
That ain't it! I was at IU and
86
00:04:58,218 --> 00:04:59,678
here was all I thought about.
87
00:04:59,678 --> 00:05:01,263
That's 'cause you're thinking small!
88
00:05:02,347 --> 00:05:04,349
You wanna see your future here?
89
00:05:05,267 --> 00:05:06,518
Well, you're looking at it.
90
00:05:09,354 --> 00:05:11,356
I thought you were gonna change that.
91
00:05:14,484 --> 00:05:16,570
I ain't going back.
92
00:05:24,244 --> 00:05:26,079
Well, you're your own man.
93
00:05:27,414 --> 00:05:28,957
You can do what you want.
94
00:06:04,493 --> 00:06:06,578
Now, you ain't just
throwing it up, though, right?
95
00:06:06,578 --> 00:06:08,663
You gotta let it roll off your fingertips.
96
00:06:12,125 --> 00:06:13,627
Easy as pie.
97
00:06:13,627 --> 00:06:15,837
So easy, why you ain't do that
against Houston?
98
00:06:15,837 --> 00:06:17,506
Say what?
99
00:06:17,506 --> 00:06:20,425
Yeah. That was one of the worst bricks
I've ever seen in my life.
100
00:06:20,425 --> 00:06:21,927
And I've been around for a while.
101
00:06:21,927 --> 00:06:24,012
- Hey, look now!
- Lost a game,
102
00:06:24,012 --> 00:06:25,931
ended the whole damn season.
103
00:06:25,931 --> 00:06:28,892
- Shame, shame, shame.
- Yeah.
104
00:06:28,892 --> 00:06:31,937
- Larry Bird would've passed.
- Sure would. Hard worker, too.
105
00:06:31,937 --> 00:06:34,147
That's why his ass
just won a championship
106
00:06:34,147 --> 00:06:36,024
and you're here teaching kids.
107
00:06:36,024 --> 00:06:38,610
Wish I was in Boston
instead of bum-ass Lansing.
108
00:06:40,028 --> 00:06:41,696
I wish I was Larry Bird.
109
00:06:44,825 --> 00:06:47,119
- Bet you do, too.
- Mm-hmm.
110
00:06:47,119 --> 00:06:49,538
Why did my parents
waste their money on this camp?
111
00:06:49,538 --> 00:06:50,914
- Yeah, you're a punk.
- Larry Bird would've passed.
112
00:06:50,914 --> 00:06:51,998
Larry Bird is the king!
113
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:55,043
Hey! Y'all show some damn respect!
114
00:06:55,043 --> 00:06:57,129
- Earvin.
- Huh?
115
00:07:02,968 --> 00:07:05,637
Get 'em working on some layups.
116
00:07:05,637 --> 00:07:07,848
Yes, sir. Right on it! Come on, kids!
117
00:07:07,848 --> 00:07:10,308
Layups are important!
118
00:07:10,308 --> 00:07:13,395
- Come on, let's go, pass me the ball!
- Let's go!
119
00:07:13,395 --> 00:07:15,522
- I'm open!
- Half and half, half and half, right here.
120
00:07:15,522 --> 00:07:17,691
- Pass it here!
- Come on, let's go.
121
00:07:17,691 --> 00:07:18,859
Yo, you alright, man?
122
00:07:18,859 --> 00:07:20,652
Yeah. Yeah, all good.
123
00:07:20,652 --> 00:07:22,362
Yo, Coop. Coop.
124
00:07:23,405 --> 00:07:26,491
Last year,
so when they gave you a extension,
125
00:07:26,491 --> 00:07:27,826
you ain't ask or nothin'?
126
00:07:27,826 --> 00:07:29,745
No. Surprised me.
127
00:07:29,745 --> 00:07:32,622
{\an8}I mean, it was
the craziest shit ever, right?
128
00:07:32,622 --> 00:07:34,416
{\an8}Imagine. One minute, I'm making this much,
129
00:07:34,416 --> 00:07:37,085
and then the next minute,
I'm making 10 times more?
130
00:07:37,085 --> 00:07:39,129
For doing the same thing?
131
00:07:39,129 --> 00:07:41,131
I mean, I couldn't believe it!
132
00:07:41,131 --> 00:07:43,008
And you know,
I always thought they hated me.
133
00:07:43,008 --> 00:07:45,469
{\an8}Mr. West, Mr. Sharman,
I thought they was gonna cut my ass,
134
00:07:45,469 --> 00:07:47,971
{\an8}to be honest.
But nope. They must love me.
135
00:07:47,971 --> 00:07:50,056
{\an8}Man, I wanna be a Laker for life!
136
00:07:51,850 --> 00:07:53,852
Yeah. Congrats, Coop.
137
00:07:55,604 --> 00:07:57,397
{\an8}What the fuck went wrong?
138
00:07:57,397 --> 00:07:58,899
Well, it starts with the leader.
139
00:07:58,899 --> 00:08:00,817
- That's you, no?
- It is.
140
00:08:00,817 --> 00:08:03,278
But the fact that you even
have to ask me that question
141
00:08:03,278 --> 00:08:04,780
sort of proves my point, doesn't it?
142
00:08:04,780 --> 00:08:06,656
The pecking order is not clear.
143
00:08:06,656 --> 00:08:08,825
And last year,
I was undercut by management.
144
00:08:09,493 --> 00:08:12,245
What I need to do the job
that you have hired me for
145
00:08:12,245 --> 00:08:13,872
is more authority.
146
00:08:13,872 --> 00:08:16,958
You gave the bastard too much
damn authority is what it is.
147
00:08:16,958 --> 00:08:18,668
He shot down the David Thompson deal
148
00:08:18,668 --> 00:08:21,004
just to prove his fuckin' point
and shot us in the foot.
149
00:08:21,004 --> 00:08:23,590
That nutty professor's liable
to blow this whole team up.
150
00:08:23,590 --> 00:08:25,675
- Ask anyone.
- I'm asking you.
151
00:08:25,675 --> 00:08:26,968
- Me?
- Yeah.
152
00:08:26,968 --> 00:08:28,804
Does Paul have their respect?
153
00:08:29,471 --> 00:08:31,515
Paul's a brilliant guy.
154
00:08:32,766 --> 00:08:34,101
They respect him.
155
00:08:34,101 --> 00:08:35,644
So who the hell is the problem?
156
00:08:35,644 --> 00:08:37,395
Your boy Magic.
157
00:08:37,395 --> 00:08:39,397
You know, I am disappointed
in that answer, Norman.
158
00:08:39,397 --> 00:08:41,233
I read all that crap in the press
159
00:08:41,233 --> 00:08:43,443
and I was hoping that
they were twisting your words.
160
00:08:43,443 --> 00:08:45,320
And frankly, I thought you were
a bigger man than that.
161
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,990
Me? Dr. Buss, I was not the one
to miss that shot, okay?
162
00:08:48,990 --> 00:08:51,618
He had four motherfuckers wide open!
163
00:08:51,618 --> 00:08:54,204
Me? Cap? Coop? Silk? Shit!
164
00:08:54,204 --> 00:08:55,789
Chick Hearn might've been open, too.
165
00:08:55,789 --> 00:08:59,084
But, no.
His happy ass had to be the hero.
166
00:09:00,419 --> 00:09:03,672
Now, everybody else might be too scared
to say it to your face.
167
00:09:03,672 --> 00:09:08,677
The problem on this team
is Magic motherfuckin' Johnson.
168
00:09:09,136 --> 00:09:11,471
You think Earvin got too big
for his britches?
169
00:09:11,471 --> 00:09:14,224
Magic reached out to us,
through his representative.
170
00:09:14,933 --> 00:09:17,686
He's asking for an extension
beyond his current deal.
171
00:09:19,271 --> 00:09:21,231
An extension?
172
00:09:21,231 --> 00:09:23,483
We got him under contract for five years!
173
00:09:23,483 --> 00:09:26,737
But he's asking for more.
Security, long term.
174
00:09:26,737 --> 00:09:28,572
Yeah, which begs the fuckin' question.
175
00:09:28,572 --> 00:09:31,658
Why? Huh?
What does he know that we don't?
176
00:09:31,658 --> 00:09:34,578
Every doctor and his mother
looked at that knee, Jerry.
177
00:09:34,578 --> 00:09:36,747
Probably next season,
he'll be back to form.
178
00:09:36,747 --> 00:09:40,417
But if he isn't,
those five years you have on the books,
179
00:09:40,417 --> 00:09:42,002
they're gonna feel like an eternity.
180
00:09:42,794 --> 00:09:46,298
If he wants more money,
and if you give it to him,
181
00:09:46,298 --> 00:09:48,508
that sends a signal to all the other guys
182
00:09:48,508 --> 00:09:50,552
that you value him over everybody else!
183
00:09:51,136 --> 00:09:53,263
We appreciate your presence, Dr. Buss.
184
00:09:53,263 --> 00:09:55,474
Let us take care of the urgent matters.
185
00:09:55,474 --> 00:09:58,185
Get Kareem and the other guys locked in.
186
00:09:58,185 --> 00:09:59,895
If there's something left in the coffers,
187
00:09:59,895 --> 00:10:02,397
then you can make up
your mind about Magic.
188
00:10:02,397 --> 00:10:05,484
And what the hell am I
supposed to do until then?
189
00:10:05,484 --> 00:10:07,903
Just be patient.
190
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,620
Shit, I'm gonna be late.
191
00:10:16,620 --> 00:10:18,205
Don't tell me you're taking a night off.
192
00:10:18,205 --> 00:10:20,832
Monopoly. It's a family thing.
193
00:10:20,832 --> 00:10:23,126
I always figured your dad
was more of a Twister guy.
194
00:10:23,126 --> 00:10:26,421
If I can just convince him
to approve more money for Martina,
195
00:10:26,421 --> 00:10:28,423
I think we have a shot
to fucking win it all.
196
00:10:31,593 --> 00:10:34,846
- What?
- Glad to know you're not all business.
197
00:10:40,936 --> 00:10:42,729
Okay. Dreams are coming true.
198
00:10:44,648 --> 00:10:47,818
Sorry I'm late, guys!
I ran into traffic on Sepulveda.
199
00:10:47,818 --> 00:10:49,569
Can I set up the board?
200
00:10:49,569 --> 00:10:52,239
Jean-bean!
The choo-choo left the station.
201
00:10:52,239 --> 00:10:54,408
Sorry, you're gonna have
to sit this one out.
202
00:10:54,408 --> 00:10:56,368
Remember Honey?
203
00:10:56,368 --> 00:10:58,703
- Yeah. Hi.
- Yeah?
204
00:10:58,703 --> 00:11:01,248
You used to wear my high heels.
205
00:11:01,248 --> 00:11:04,376
- I see you have your own now.
- Yeah. All grown up.
206
00:11:04,376 --> 00:11:06,169
Yeah.
207
00:11:06,169 --> 00:11:08,463
Yeah, Honey took your thimble, so.
208
00:11:08,463 --> 00:11:10,340
No. Oh, shit.
209
00:11:10,340 --> 00:11:12,759
No one said anything to me. I'm sorry.
210
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:14,052
Pull up a chair, sweetie.
Come on!
211
00:11:14,052 --> 00:11:15,178
See, I told you she wouldn't mind.
212
00:11:15,178 --> 00:11:17,139
It's alright.
You know, when we started,
213
00:11:17,139 --> 00:11:19,474
sometimes I'll go pony, won't I?
Sometimes.
214
00:11:19,474 --> 00:11:22,102
It's fine. It's fine.
We told you to pick whatever you want.
215
00:11:22,102 --> 00:11:24,396
Yeah, pull up a chair, Jean-bean!
216
00:11:24,396 --> 00:11:27,232
You know, Dad, I don't know how closely
you've been following the standings
217
00:11:27,232 --> 00:11:29,359
- but the Strings are doing really well.
- Super!
218
00:11:29,359 --> 00:11:32,362
Yeah, and Anna has the best
first serve in the whole league.
219
00:11:34,239 --> 00:11:35,866
Oh, shit, I'm going to jail.
220
00:11:36,908 --> 00:11:37,909
Here we go!
221
00:11:37,909 --> 00:11:39,828
But the thing is we could get
even better for the playoffs.
222
00:11:39,828 --> 00:11:41,747
San Diego bit the dust
and so they're shopping
223
00:11:41,747 --> 00:11:43,832
Martina Navratilova.
224
00:11:44,583 --> 00:11:47,002
Anyways, I just need a little
bit more money for her salary.
225
00:11:47,002 --> 00:11:48,879
- And so, I was thinking--
- No, no. No, hon.
226
00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:50,714
No business at the table.
227
00:11:50,714 --> 00:11:52,966
- Huh?
- Since when?
228
00:11:52,966 --> 00:11:55,135
Since it's my turn.
Here, blow a little luck on those,
229
00:11:55,135 --> 00:11:56,470
will you, Honeypot?
230
00:11:58,847 --> 00:12:00,849
- I'll go. Okay.
- Here we go.
231
00:12:00,849 --> 00:12:03,435
One, two, three, four, five.
232
00:12:03,435 --> 00:12:05,979
Here we go. St. James.
233
00:12:05,979 --> 00:12:08,607
My diamond in the rough.
Alright, take that.
234
00:12:08,607 --> 00:12:11,860
I know Martina from the circuit.
I could give a call.
235
00:12:11,860 --> 00:12:13,320
Maybe, yeah,
I don't own all...
236
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,489
Ah! Okay, alright. Here we go.
237
00:12:16,698 --> 00:12:18,366
Okay, I need a drink.
238
00:12:18,366 --> 00:12:21,203
- Hon, will you grab me a Coke?
- Tab.
239
00:12:21,203 --> 00:12:23,955
That's right.
A Tab, please. Sorry.
240
00:12:23,955 --> 00:12:26,666
This girl wants your old man
around for a while.
241
00:12:26,666 --> 00:12:28,543
- That's right.
- Oh, shit.
242
00:12:28,543 --> 00:12:30,087
Fucking kidding me?
I just got out of jail!
243
00:12:30,087 --> 00:12:31,797
What'd you do now, Jim?
244
00:12:52,401 --> 00:12:54,111
Yo, Lar?
245
00:12:54,861 --> 00:12:56,363
Break already?
246
00:12:57,781 --> 00:12:59,741
Gimme a sec to take a leak.
We'll get it runnin'.
247
00:12:59,741 --> 00:13:02,327
Nah, man. It's your pops.
248
00:13:04,287 --> 00:13:06,289
Ah, shit. What'd he do now?
249
00:13:06,289 --> 00:13:08,917
Oh, come on, Chet.
Y'all can't lock him up for being broke.
250
00:13:08,917 --> 00:13:10,836
Tell Mom he's good for it.
251
00:13:10,836 --> 00:13:12,671
Hell, I'll even chip in and make it right.
252
00:13:15,132 --> 00:13:17,092
Ain't that, son.
253
00:13:59,509 --> 00:14:01,678
Are you ready? Keep 'em shut!
254
00:14:01,678 --> 00:14:03,847
Wait! Wait!
255
00:14:03,847 --> 00:14:06,183
Open sesame.
256
00:14:07,184 --> 00:14:09,060
Oh!
257
00:14:10,604 --> 00:14:12,939
My God...
258
00:14:12,939 --> 00:14:15,567
- What is this?
- What's it look like?
259
00:14:16,943 --> 00:14:20,530
- Like you bought every flower in LA.
- I tried.
260
00:14:23,408 --> 00:14:24,910
Why did you do this?
261
00:14:26,495 --> 00:14:28,872
'Cause I'm falling for you, Honey.
262
00:14:28,872 --> 00:14:31,124
Boys! You did a great job on this.
263
00:14:32,125 --> 00:14:34,377
Go ahead and take the rest
of the night off, alright?
264
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:35,879
Top-notch, boys.
265
00:14:35,879 --> 00:14:38,965
Champagne? Caviar?
Pick your poison.
266
00:14:43,512 --> 00:14:45,514
I really like my life.
267
00:14:47,015 --> 00:14:49,267
I worked really hard to get here.
268
00:14:51,353 --> 00:14:52,854
I know.
269
00:14:57,109 --> 00:15:00,237
If there's going to be a striptease,
I need to get my purse.
270
00:15:00,237 --> 00:15:02,781
No, that won't be necessary.
This one's on the house.
271
00:15:02,781 --> 00:15:04,324
You know why?
272
00:15:04,866 --> 00:15:05,992
Mm-mm.
273
00:15:07,828 --> 00:15:09,830
Our love is alive
274
00:15:11,206 --> 00:15:13,333
And so we begin
275
00:15:13,333 --> 00:15:15,127
It's our song, baby.
276
00:15:15,127 --> 00:15:18,964
Foolishly laying our hearts
on the table
277
00:15:18,964 --> 00:15:20,549
Stumblin' in
278
00:15:22,634 --> 00:15:24,261
Our love is a flame
279
00:15:25,220 --> 00:15:26,471
Come on.
280
00:15:26,471 --> 00:15:28,140
Burning within
281
00:15:30,183 --> 00:15:33,812
Now and then, firelight will catch us
282
00:15:33,812 --> 00:15:35,147
Stumblin' in
283
00:15:37,482 --> 00:15:39,067
Wherever you go
284
00:15:41,153 --> 00:15:42,779
Whatever you do
285
00:15:44,322 --> 00:15:46,283
Don't hurt me, okay?
286
00:15:46,283 --> 00:15:50,036
These reckless thoughts
of mine are following you
287
00:15:52,164 --> 00:15:55,000
I'm falling for you...
288
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,127
I thought you said Buss
was making time for you.
289
00:15:57,127 --> 00:16:00,255
Yeah!
Used to be we talked for hours.
290
00:16:00,255 --> 00:16:02,382
Now he acting like I wanna borrow money.
291
00:16:02,382 --> 00:16:05,218
Well, maybe take that hint.
292
00:16:05,218 --> 00:16:06,595
That's Lansing thinkin'.
293
00:16:06,595 --> 00:16:09,389
Earvin, if they haven't committed to you,
294
00:16:09,389 --> 00:16:12,100
why are you so committed to them?
295
00:16:13,685 --> 00:16:15,645
Same reason I'm talkin' to you.
296
00:16:15,645 --> 00:16:17,314
Excuse me?
297
00:16:17,314 --> 00:16:19,608
You got yourself a new man. Kinda.
298
00:16:19,608 --> 00:16:23,445
So, I just gotta put in
a little extra work.
299
00:16:23,445 --> 00:16:25,614
Doin' the same thing over here.
300
00:16:25,614 --> 00:16:27,949
Get both of y'all remember
how much you love me.
301
00:16:29,159 --> 00:16:31,828
Well, I hope you and Buss
302
00:16:31,828 --> 00:16:35,040
live happily ever after, but I gotta go.
303
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,500
Virgil's taking me to Cameo.
304
00:16:38,001 --> 00:16:39,544
Yeah.
305
00:16:39,544 --> 00:16:40,879
Bye.
306
00:16:44,341 --> 00:16:47,177
And in sports across the country today,
307
00:16:47,177 --> 00:16:50,138
{\an8}the city of Boston
was awash in Celtic Green.
308
00:16:50,138 --> 00:16:54,059
{\an8}The team's celebrating
its 13th championship victory
309
00:16:54,059 --> 00:16:55,811
on the back of hero Larry Bird,
310
00:16:55,811 --> 00:16:58,396
who was spectacular
in the series against Houston.
311
00:16:58,396 --> 00:17:01,441
The same team, of course,
that eliminated our hometown Lakers
312
00:17:01,441 --> 00:17:02,442
in the first round.
313
00:17:09,282 --> 00:17:11,076
Yes. Kupchak is the best man
on the market.
314
00:17:11,076 --> 00:17:12,452
Yeah, well, there you go.
Hey, what the fuck,
315
00:17:12,452 --> 00:17:14,162
throw in your first born
while you're at it.
316
00:17:14,162 --> 00:17:15,872
- Buss has given me authority...
- He costs too much.
317
00:17:15,872 --> 00:17:17,916
- ...on personnel.
- Well, there you have it, huh?
318
00:17:17,916 --> 00:17:19,501
That's right.
What the fuck are we doin' here?
319
00:17:19,501 --> 00:17:21,253
- Jerry, just calm down.
- Just pulling our little dicks--
320
00:17:21,253 --> 00:17:23,171
- Jerry!
- No, no, no, Bill! I get it! I get it!
321
00:17:23,171 --> 00:17:24,756
Little prince here, he's made up his mind.
322
00:17:24,756 --> 00:17:26,550
I mean, shit. Come on.
323
00:17:26,550 --> 00:17:28,135
Pat! Pat! What are you doin'?
324
00:17:28,135 --> 00:17:29,594
Come on in here.
Come on, take a look at this.
325
00:17:29,594 --> 00:17:30,929
Do me a fuckin' favor
326
00:17:30,929 --> 00:17:34,307
and please talk some fuckin' sense
into your boy here!
327
00:17:38,645 --> 00:17:39,896
Didn't know there was a meeting.
328
00:17:41,398 --> 00:17:43,400
Sorry. It skipped my mind, Pat.
329
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,028
Right there! Huh?
330
00:17:49,489 --> 00:17:51,074
- You're going with Kupchak?
- Oh!
331
00:17:51,074 --> 00:17:52,701
You don't want him either, do you?
332
00:17:52,701 --> 00:17:54,995
No, of course fuckin' not.
You know the type.
333
00:17:54,995 --> 00:17:56,538
Hell, you were the fuckin' type.
334
00:17:56,538 --> 00:17:59,416
Big, pasty Tonka truck,
playin' like a fuckin' hockey goon.
335
00:17:59,416 --> 00:18:00,709
I mean, no offense, Pat. Okay?
336
00:18:00,709 --> 00:18:02,377
So, please, Bill,
just do me a fuckin' favor.
337
00:18:02,377 --> 00:18:04,504
Let me send Elgin down there,
put him through his paces
338
00:18:04,504 --> 00:18:06,590
and find out if this big body
we're buyin' ain't a lemon.
339
00:18:06,590 --> 00:18:07,591
- Yeah.
- Oh, my gosh. Jerry,
340
00:18:07,591 --> 00:18:08,759
I need you to read the files.
341
00:18:09,217 --> 00:18:11,511
I already sent my own guy
to check him out.
342
00:18:14,264 --> 00:18:15,432
Your what?
343
00:18:15,432 --> 00:18:17,434
Mike Thibault.
He's an old friend of mine.
344
00:18:17,434 --> 00:18:19,144
He has a terrific eye, so I sent him down
345
00:18:19,144 --> 00:18:20,812
to scout the Bullets-Boston
playoff series.
346
00:18:20,812 --> 00:18:23,774
And guess what he said?
Kupchak is right as rain, so.
347
00:18:23,774 --> 00:18:25,650
That reminds me. Bill,
348
00:18:25,650 --> 00:18:28,445
I'm going to bring on Mike
as my new assistant coach.
349
00:18:30,530 --> 00:18:32,157
My second assistant. Don't worry, Pat.
350
00:18:32,157 --> 00:18:34,868
It's a new thing the league is doing.
Multiple assistants.
351
00:18:34,868 --> 00:18:36,912
You guys, you'll catch up.
352
00:18:36,912 --> 00:18:38,997
It'll take some of the load off.
Alright, gentlemen.
353
00:18:38,997 --> 00:18:41,208
Enjoy your pastries. Breakfast.
354
00:18:42,084 --> 00:18:43,502
Keep me updated.
355
00:18:44,336 --> 00:18:45,754
What a time to be alive.
356
00:18:46,546 --> 00:18:48,465
I'm gonna go talk to Buss.
357
00:18:48,465 --> 00:18:49,674
Yeah.
358
00:18:50,050 --> 00:18:51,802
Paul.
359
00:18:51,802 --> 00:18:53,970
This has nothing to do with you, Pat.
360
00:18:53,970 --> 00:18:56,306
It's about your friend there, Jerry.
361
00:18:56,306 --> 00:18:58,475
Look, he really put us
on the back foot last year.
362
00:18:58,475 --> 00:18:59,643
That Thompson thing.
363
00:18:59,643 --> 00:19:02,854
I can't let it happen again
so I need somebody loyal.
364
00:19:02,854 --> 00:19:05,565
- Somebody I can trust to do my scouting.
- What--
365
00:19:05,565 --> 00:19:07,234
You stopped trusting me?
366
00:19:10,987 --> 00:19:13,115
If you did, then say so. Do me a favor.
367
00:19:16,493 --> 00:19:17,994
We're good, Pat.
368
00:19:34,553 --> 00:19:37,514
- Go, go, go, go, go!
- Come on, now.
369
00:19:39,182 --> 00:19:42,352
I've got that lovin' feeling
370
00:19:42,352 --> 00:19:44,479
I've got to turn loose
371
00:19:44,479 --> 00:19:47,524
I've got that lovin' feeling
372
00:19:49,943 --> 00:19:52,404
'Cause I ain't got nobody
373
00:19:52,404 --> 00:19:54,865
Who I can turn on to
374
00:19:54,865 --> 00:19:57,659
'And I ain't got nobody
375
00:19:57,659 --> 00:19:59,703
To give my lovin' to
376
00:19:59,703 --> 00:20:01,913
I've got that feelin'
377
00:20:02,873 --> 00:20:03,957
Yeah
378
00:20:05,459 --> 00:20:07,919
I've got that feeling, yeah
379
00:20:09,588 --> 00:20:10,672
Oh!
380
00:20:11,548 --> 00:20:13,425
I'm going out tonight
381
00:20:13,425 --> 00:20:16,011
Gonna put my good clothes on
382
00:20:16,011 --> 00:20:18,263
Yeah, then I'm going downtown
383
00:20:18,263 --> 00:20:20,891
To see what's going on
384
00:20:20,891 --> 00:20:23,935
I'm gonna check out the ladies
385
00:20:23,935 --> 00:20:26,480
And see if I can get anyone
386
00:20:27,230 --> 00:20:29,274
- What you so happy about?
- Oh, shit.
387
00:20:29,274 --> 00:20:32,027
Nigga, you looking like
Earl the Pearl out there, man.
388
00:20:32,027 --> 00:20:33,695
Yeah! This motherfucker
wasn't even playing.
389
00:20:33,695 --> 00:20:35,155
I don't wanna hear that, man.
390
00:20:35,155 --> 00:20:37,115
- We gotta get back to work.
- Yeah, aight.
391
00:20:37,115 --> 00:20:39,326
How about y'all work
on your game instead?
392
00:20:39,326 --> 00:20:41,161
Yeah, he talkin' to you!
393
00:20:41,536 --> 00:20:43,038
Gimme some competition.
394
00:20:43,038 --> 00:20:45,373
Well, I can get you competition.
395
00:20:48,168 --> 00:20:50,879
- Told you I ain't interested.
- You said that last week.
396
00:20:50,879 --> 00:20:52,714
This is this one.
397
00:20:57,385 --> 00:20:59,805
- Shit.
- Hey. Maybe that's a sign from God
398
00:20:59,805 --> 00:21:02,099
that you should come to Indiana State.
399
00:21:04,684 --> 00:21:06,394
Against the law to be following a man.
400
00:21:06,394 --> 00:21:07,646
It should be against the law
401
00:21:07,646 --> 00:21:09,689
to squander all that talent
in the backwoods.
402
00:21:09,689 --> 00:21:12,359
I'm parked right up there,
if you want a lift.
403
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:13,985
Fuck you.
404
00:21:13,985 --> 00:21:16,071
If it gets you to sign,
I might consider it.
405
00:21:18,407 --> 00:21:20,409
Unless you're just afraid
you lost your touch.
406
00:21:22,035 --> 00:21:23,578
Can't hang with the big boys.
407
00:21:24,788 --> 00:21:27,457
Not a lot of people around these parts
gets them a second chance.
408
00:21:27,457 --> 00:21:29,000
Most mess up the first.
409
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,919
That's it, for the rest of their life.
410
00:21:30,919 --> 00:21:33,255
And the way time works,
that special thing runs off
411
00:21:33,255 --> 00:21:34,798
to a more grateful suitor.
412
00:21:34,798 --> 00:21:36,925
They look up one day, and it's gone.
413
00:21:37,551 --> 00:21:40,887
Now I don't know about you,
but that would scare me straight to hell.
414
00:21:40,887 --> 00:21:44,057
Larry, no one gets to be as great
as you are at this thing
415
00:21:44,057 --> 00:21:45,642
unless they love it.
416
00:21:46,685 --> 00:21:48,228
Why are you acting like you don't?
417
00:21:50,605 --> 00:21:52,107
Just one practice.
418
00:21:57,946 --> 00:21:59,448
Nice work, gentlemen.
419
00:22:08,415 --> 00:22:10,417
Give me the fuckin' ball.
420
00:22:15,213 --> 00:22:16,798
Before I do, just understand
421
00:22:16,798 --> 00:22:19,593
we don't do profanity at Indiana State.
422
00:22:21,428 --> 00:22:22,429
Gimme the ball.
423
00:22:23,889 --> 00:22:26,975
You want some shorts?
Sneakers, maybe?
424
00:22:26,975 --> 00:22:29,770
Good like this. Don't lose count.
425
00:22:31,021 --> 00:22:32,397
Well, you heard the man!
Give him the ball!
426
00:22:38,779 --> 00:22:41,782
Hello there, ladies and gentlemen
427
00:22:41,782 --> 00:22:43,867
Hello there, ladies and gents
428
00:22:43,867 --> 00:22:45,660
Are you ready to rock?
429
00:22:46,828 --> 00:22:47,829
That's six.
430
00:22:48,538 --> 00:22:51,291
Hello there, ladies and gentlemen
431
00:22:51,291 --> 00:22:53,335
Hello there, ladies and gents
432
00:22:53,335 --> 00:22:55,337
Are you ready to rock?
433
00:22:56,171 --> 00:22:57,172
Thirteen, Coach.
434
00:22:58,673 --> 00:23:00,884
Would you like to do a number with me?
435
00:23:01,426 --> 00:23:03,595
Would you like to do a number with me?
436
00:23:04,012 --> 00:23:05,180
Would you like to do
437
00:23:05,180 --> 00:23:06,681
Twenty-four.
438
00:23:06,681 --> 00:23:09,559
Would you like to do a number with me?
439
00:23:09,559 --> 00:23:12,187
Hello there, ladies and gentlemen
440
00:23:12,187 --> 00:23:14,064
Hello there, ladies and gents
441
00:23:14,064 --> 00:23:16,108
- Thirty.
- Hoo!
442
00:23:16,108 --> 00:23:18,318
Are you ready to rock?
443
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:21,530
Thirty-three!
444
00:23:21,530 --> 00:23:24,032
Hello there, ladies and gents
445
00:23:24,032 --> 00:23:26,284
Are you ready to rock?
446
00:23:26,284 --> 00:23:28,203
Shoot, sorry. I lost count.
447
00:23:28,995 --> 00:23:30,414
- Forty-one.
- Oh.
448
00:23:31,832 --> 00:23:33,708
Would you like to do a number with me?
449
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:35,961
Forty-three.
450
00:23:40,257 --> 00:23:42,676
I thought you said
there'd be some competition.
451
00:23:42,676 --> 00:23:44,428
Hope it gets better than this, Coach.
452
00:23:44,428 --> 00:23:47,722
Okay! Well, you can tell Martina
that we're just thrilled.
453
00:23:47,722 --> 00:23:50,434
My father's all aboard. Mm-hmm.
454
00:23:52,561 --> 00:23:54,229
Okay. Thanks.
455
00:23:54,229 --> 00:23:56,982
You traded my fucking girlfriend!
456
00:23:58,150 --> 00:24:00,652
They needed a trade for compensation.
457
00:24:01,987 --> 00:24:04,781
- It's not personal, Johnny.
- How is that not personal?
458
00:24:04,781 --> 00:24:06,867
Oh! I know how!
'Cause you don't give a shit about me!
459
00:24:06,867 --> 00:24:08,994
Okay, first of all, Dad made the trade.
460
00:24:08,994 --> 00:24:11,163
And second of all,
I told you not to get involved with her.
461
00:24:11,163 --> 00:24:12,622
She's an athlete and this is a business.
462
00:24:12,622 --> 00:24:15,500
No, I was in love, Jeanie.
463
00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:18,628
You're just jealous that I have a life
outside of this shit.
464
00:24:18,628 --> 00:24:21,006
Outside of hoping that Daddy
just pats me on the head
465
00:24:21,006 --> 00:24:22,549
like a Pekingese for doing good.
466
00:24:22,549 --> 00:24:24,593
Well, guess what?
It's never gonna happen!
467
00:24:26,303 --> 00:24:27,846
You could bring him home
a hundred trophies.
468
00:24:27,846 --> 00:24:30,265
You're never gonna be his favorite son.
469
00:24:34,895 --> 00:24:36,897
Five years in this league is long enough.
470
00:24:36,897 --> 00:24:39,024
Any more than that is a lifetime.
471
00:24:39,024 --> 00:24:41,234
It's ballsy, I'll say that.
472
00:24:41,234 --> 00:24:43,361
- Takes moxie.
- Let me guess.
473
00:24:43,361 --> 00:24:44,863
That's what he likes about it.
474
00:24:44,863 --> 00:24:47,407
I wish more kids I knew
had that kind of spirit.
475
00:24:48,867 --> 00:24:51,286
And I know you think I'm nuts
for even considering it
476
00:24:51,286 --> 00:24:53,371
but join the club.
477
00:24:53,371 --> 00:24:56,249
Don't we pay Bill and Jerry to make these
basketball decisions?
478
00:24:56,249 --> 00:24:59,044
This is not about basketball.
479
00:24:59,044 --> 00:25:00,337
It's about people.
480
00:25:00,337 --> 00:25:03,006
I told Earvin we're in this together
481
00:25:03,006 --> 00:25:05,008
and now, he's just asking me to prove
482
00:25:05,008 --> 00:25:08,095
that I'm not just another rich old bastard
blowing smoke.
483
00:25:08,095 --> 00:25:10,305
Jerry, he's asking you for more money.
484
00:25:10,305 --> 00:25:12,099
Money has nothing to do with it, Claire.
485
00:25:12,099 --> 00:25:14,726
It's about passion. It's commitment.
486
00:25:14,726 --> 00:25:17,229
So I won't be paying him with money?
487
00:25:17,229 --> 00:25:19,439
Because right now, we don't have any.
488
00:25:19,439 --> 00:25:21,858
We were counting on a playoff run
489
00:25:21,858 --> 00:25:24,236
and now we're four million in the red.
490
00:25:24,236 --> 00:25:26,446
So you can make Magic a lifetime Laker.
491
00:25:26,446 --> 00:25:28,949
Just know, there is a good chance
he'll still be here
492
00:25:28,949 --> 00:25:30,784
after you go belly-up.
493
00:25:32,077 --> 00:25:36,373
My source says DC is prepared to match
any offer for Kupchak up to 750.
494
00:25:36,373 --> 00:25:39,876
That's almost as much as Kareem.
495
00:25:39,876 --> 00:25:42,546
Yeah, people pay a pretty penny
for the Great White Hope.
496
00:25:43,630 --> 00:25:45,632
But look, West isn't wrong.
497
00:25:45,632 --> 00:25:47,426
Alright? If it's too rich for Buss,
498
00:25:47,426 --> 00:25:49,010
- there's other guys out there--
- Come on!
499
00:25:49,010 --> 00:25:52,597
- Kupchak. Kupchak is our guy.
- Oh, then you're in luck.
500
00:25:53,265 --> 00:25:55,559
Dr. Buss just gave me the green light.
501
00:25:55,559 --> 00:25:57,144
He's ready to go up to 800,000.
502
00:25:57,144 --> 00:26:00,147
Okay. There we go.
Look, this guy listens to me after all.
503
00:26:00,147 --> 00:26:02,399
Well, he listens to Dean Smith.
504
00:26:02,399 --> 00:26:04,985
Buss called him.
He vouched for the kid's character.
505
00:26:04,985 --> 00:26:07,154
Says Kupchak's as fine a Tar Heel
as he's ever coached
506
00:26:07,154 --> 00:26:08,739
and worth the money.
507
00:26:08,739 --> 00:26:11,199
Right. Well, I've been saying
the same thing, Bill.
508
00:26:11,199 --> 00:26:13,827
And now, you got your man.
All we need now is a sweetener
509
00:26:13,827 --> 00:26:15,996
to compensate DC.
510
00:26:15,996 --> 00:26:19,207
I figured Chones,
but Riley almost bit my head off.
511
00:26:20,375 --> 00:26:23,044
- You talked to Pat about this?
- I ran into him.
512
00:26:23,044 --> 00:26:24,838
What? You two didn't talk about this?
513
00:26:24,838 --> 00:26:26,381
- We talked about it.
- You did?
514
00:26:26,381 --> 00:26:27,632
Yes.
515
00:26:28,675 --> 00:26:30,594
But then, Mike and I dug
in a little deeper.
516
00:26:33,722 --> 00:26:35,724
I'm prepared to cut him loose.
517
00:26:42,063 --> 00:26:44,274
Okay. Fair enough.
518
00:26:46,735 --> 00:26:48,070
This is some fucking bullshit!
519
00:26:48,070 --> 00:26:50,822
That's what gives you value
and that's why we had to trade you to DC.
520
00:26:50,822 --> 00:26:52,365
Oh, so I'm a product now, huh?
521
00:26:52,365 --> 00:26:54,117
- It's the truth.
- That's fucked up, Bill!
522
00:26:54,117 --> 00:26:55,660
Well, it's the way it is.
It's business.
523
00:26:55,660 --> 00:26:58,288
I got a family here!
Fucking bullshit, man!
524
00:26:58,288 --> 00:27:00,499
- Jim, just calm down.
- It's fucking Westhead, ain't it?
525
00:27:00,499 --> 00:27:01,666
- I know it! Where's he at?
- Calm down.
526
00:27:01,666 --> 00:27:04,169
Where's that motherfucker?
Fucking bullshit, Bill!
527
00:27:04,169 --> 00:27:06,004
- No, it's not. It's business.
- It's bullshit, man!
528
00:27:06,004 --> 00:27:07,672
- Calm down, Jim.
- It's Westhead, ain't it?
529
00:27:07,672 --> 00:27:09,549
- That motherfucker!
- It's business, alright?
530
00:27:09,549 --> 00:27:10,675
Where's he at?
Where's that motherfucker at?
531
00:27:10,675 --> 00:27:11,676
- What's up, Jim?
- You ain't heard?
532
00:27:11,676 --> 00:27:12,677
Heard what?
533
00:27:12,677 --> 00:27:14,471
Oh, you ain't told him either, huh?
534
00:27:14,471 --> 00:27:16,223
- Well, that means you next.
- Next what?
535
00:27:16,223 --> 00:27:18,141
- What the fuck's going on?
- DC's what's next!
536
00:27:18,141 --> 00:27:20,185
How the fuck you gonna
trade me with no heads-up?
537
00:27:20,185 --> 00:27:21,436
- What, you traded him?
- I got triplets
538
00:27:21,436 --> 00:27:22,938
and a goddamn house I just bought!
539
00:27:22,938 --> 00:27:24,940
What the fuck am I supposed
to tell my wife when I get home?
540
00:27:24,940 --> 00:27:27,067
- Man, I didn't know.
- For that fucking white boy
541
00:27:27,067 --> 00:27:29,361
Coach got his dick all hard for?
542
00:27:29,361 --> 00:27:32,114
Fucking Westhead, man!
That motherfucker, man!
543
00:27:32,114 --> 00:27:33,824
- I can't believe you.
- Hey, Jim, Jim.
544
00:27:33,824 --> 00:27:34,908
- No, don't touch me!
- Jim.
545
00:27:34,908 --> 00:27:36,743
- Open the fucking door!
- Jim. Hey.
546
00:27:36,743 --> 00:27:38,578
I know you in this motherfucker
hiding like a bitch!
547
00:27:38,578 --> 00:27:40,705
That's why no one don't like you
or respect your ass!
548
00:27:40,705 --> 00:27:42,124
- Get the fuck off me!
- Cool it. Relax.
549
00:27:42,124 --> 00:27:44,626
How the fuck you gonna
pretend to be my friend, huh?
550
00:27:44,626 --> 00:27:46,837
- I didn't know.
- Fuck you! Fuck you,
551
00:27:46,837 --> 00:27:49,214
and this backstabbing-ass organization!
552
00:27:49,214 --> 00:27:50,757
You motherfuckers!
553
00:27:50,757 --> 00:27:52,968
Got a English teacher
coaching a fuckin' NBA team.
554
00:27:52,968 --> 00:27:55,011
What the fuck is wrong with y'all?
555
00:28:07,983 --> 00:28:10,277
Fuck, come on.
556
00:28:10,819 --> 00:28:12,112
You gonna open the door,
557
00:28:12,112 --> 00:28:14,197
or do I have to call the fire department?
Come on.
558
00:28:19,369 --> 00:28:22,706
What the fuck, Paul? Chones?
559
00:28:22,706 --> 00:28:25,167
The last time I checked,
you valued my opinion.
560
00:28:25,167 --> 00:28:28,378
No. I follow your opinions
without questioning my own.
561
00:28:28,378 --> 00:28:30,213
And that's gonna stop right now.
562
00:28:30,213 --> 00:28:31,673
- That's gonna stop.
- Jesus fucking Christ.
563
00:28:31,673 --> 00:28:33,258
Do you want me gone?
564
00:28:34,134 --> 00:28:36,928
Just say the word.
Just say the fucking word! I'll go!
565
00:28:37,721 --> 00:28:39,473
Just don't take it out
on Jim or anybody else!
566
00:28:39,473 --> 00:28:40,515
I don't want you gone!
567
00:28:40,515 --> 00:28:42,642
But I do want you to
respect the pecking order!
568
00:28:43,018 --> 00:28:45,353
What pecking order?
What the fuck are you talking about?
569
00:28:45,353 --> 00:28:47,063
Personal relationships with players?
570
00:28:47,063 --> 00:28:48,732
Side talks with Bill?
571
00:28:48,732 --> 00:28:50,609
These are things that an assistant
572
00:28:50,609 --> 00:28:54,654
ought to seek permission for
before overstepping their bounds.
573
00:28:54,654 --> 00:28:57,324
The issue is not you, Pat.
574
00:28:57,324 --> 00:28:58,867
The issue is perception.
575
00:28:58,867 --> 00:29:01,953
And if people are coming to you
as a voice of authority,
576
00:29:01,953 --> 00:29:03,622
that undermines my own.
577
00:29:03,622 --> 00:29:05,791
Who the fuck stood by you, man,
578
00:29:05,791 --> 00:29:07,959
when you didn't know your
fuckin' head from your hole?
579
00:29:07,959 --> 00:29:10,587
Who stood by you?
Who respected you?
580
00:29:10,587 --> 00:29:12,172
Always!
581
00:29:12,172 --> 00:29:13,507
From the get-go!
582
00:29:13,507 --> 00:29:16,301
Even when you didn't deserve it!
583
00:29:16,301 --> 00:29:19,137
Pat, I value you and your position here
584
00:29:19,137 --> 00:29:21,223
as my lieutenant and
585
00:29:22,766 --> 00:29:27,896
you know, as long as you carry yourself
in such a way that everybody understands
586
00:29:27,896 --> 00:29:32,401
that that's what you are,
then I really think we can still thrive.
587
00:29:33,693 --> 00:29:35,153
Fuck you.
588
00:29:42,077 --> 00:29:43,829
Thirsty?
589
00:29:43,829 --> 00:29:45,288
I got Bud
590
00:29:46,456 --> 00:29:47,958
and Bud.
591
00:29:49,626 --> 00:29:51,336
I'll take a Bud. Thanks.
592
00:29:54,423 --> 00:29:55,799
So
593
00:29:56,675 --> 00:29:58,677
you got me in kind of a rough spot here.
594
00:29:59,678 --> 00:30:01,555
I spent my pick on you last year,
595
00:30:01,555 --> 00:30:04,266
been waiting patiently for a commitment.
596
00:30:04,266 --> 00:30:07,269
You don't sign on before draft day,
you go back into the pool.
597
00:30:07,269 --> 00:30:08,770
I'm shit outta luck.
598
00:30:10,147 --> 00:30:11,148
Yep.
599
00:30:12,566 --> 00:30:14,818
That ain't a commitment.
600
00:30:14,818 --> 00:30:16,903
You knew what you were risking
when you picked me.
601
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,157
Told you I was gonna stay at State.
602
00:30:21,450 --> 00:30:22,784
Finish what I started.
603
00:30:24,870 --> 00:30:26,705
You told me you were gonna win.
604
00:30:31,126 --> 00:30:32,377
Team game.
605
00:30:32,878 --> 00:30:34,963
Never took you as the type
to make excuses.
606
00:30:35,464 --> 00:30:37,090
Ultimatums, on the other hand.
607
00:30:37,758 --> 00:30:40,802
Here I am, offering the biggest
rookie deal in sports,
608
00:30:40,802 --> 00:30:45,223
and that shyster you got on your payroll
comes back to me with a list of bonuses?
609
00:30:45,223 --> 00:30:47,350
Fifty large if you make all-rookie?
610
00:30:47,350 --> 00:30:49,186
He tell you what I told him?
611
00:30:49,686 --> 00:30:50,937
Fuck himself.
612
00:30:51,438 --> 00:30:53,064
That was meant for you.
613
00:30:54,024 --> 00:30:55,650
Bob told me what else you said.
614
00:30:57,944 --> 00:31:01,239
"Bird's a corner man.
That's all he is."
615
00:31:01,239 --> 00:31:02,574
That's right.
616
00:31:02,574 --> 00:31:05,035
Least important of
the three major positions.
617
00:31:05,035 --> 00:31:09,122
Center, fast guard, then corner man.
618
00:31:09,122 --> 00:31:11,583
No one's ever built a franchise
based on a corner man.
619
00:31:11,583 --> 00:31:14,086
Then why the fuck you standing
in my living room?
620
00:31:15,587 --> 00:31:16,838
Look, Larry.
621
00:31:16,838 --> 00:31:19,299
I'm gonna give you three good reasons why,
622
00:31:19,299 --> 00:31:21,885
come draft day,
you're gonna be wearing Celtic Green.
623
00:31:21,885 --> 00:31:25,180
Hope one ain't Boston.
Big city ain't for me.
624
00:31:25,180 --> 00:31:28,183
Oh, and LA is?
625
00:31:29,518 --> 00:31:31,478
Boston is working-class people.
626
00:31:31,478 --> 00:31:34,189
People at the bottom
who ain't got what to root for.
627
00:31:34,189 --> 00:31:37,067
People who do hard work with pride.
628
00:31:37,067 --> 00:31:39,069
If that ain't you, just say so.
629
00:31:39,069 --> 00:31:43,240
I'll head back to civilization,
stop wasting both of our precious time.
630
00:31:44,991 --> 00:31:46,493
But if it is...
631
00:31:47,327 --> 00:31:49,329
if you're the kinda guy
with a fire in your belly
632
00:31:50,539 --> 00:31:54,167
who don't love winning
so much as you hate to lose
633
00:31:55,961 --> 00:31:57,462
then you're a Celtic.
634
00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:02,467
What's reason two?
635
00:32:04,302 --> 00:32:07,639
No one's ever built a franchise squad
around a corner man.
636
00:32:08,181 --> 00:32:09,349
But if I did...
637
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,936
I'd need the greatest who ever lived.
638
00:32:14,438 --> 00:32:15,564
Wanna hear the third?
639
00:32:16,231 --> 00:32:17,899
I'm listening.
640
00:32:17,899 --> 00:32:20,694
If you go back into the draft this year,
641
00:32:20,694 --> 00:32:22,028
it's you and Johnson.
642
00:32:22,028 --> 00:32:23,655
The guy who kicked your ass.
643
00:32:23,655 --> 00:32:26,241
You don't think these
other owners saw that game?
644
00:32:27,367 --> 00:32:30,996
You're still willing to bet
they pick you first?
645
00:32:36,334 --> 00:32:37,836
Thanks for the Bud.
646
00:32:40,338 --> 00:32:41,590
Mr. Auerbach.
647
00:32:42,424 --> 00:32:44,551
Still pick me first?
648
00:32:45,886 --> 00:32:48,388
Every day and twice on Sunday.
649
00:32:50,015 --> 00:32:52,017
Because you're a goddamn Celtic.
650
00:33:01,401 --> 00:33:03,361
Dr. Buss?
651
00:33:03,361 --> 00:33:06,114
Mr. Magic is waiting.
652
00:33:06,865 --> 00:33:08,533
Thank you, Setsuo.
653
00:33:17,709 --> 00:33:20,212
You ever wonder how they sell
a billion of these things?
654
00:33:22,089 --> 00:33:24,132
I figured it was the clown.
655
00:33:29,304 --> 00:33:32,099
If no what it is, I can take it.
656
00:33:34,976 --> 00:33:37,687
The contract? What I'm asking for?
657
00:33:38,438 --> 00:33:40,649
That is why we sitting here, ain't it?
658
00:33:42,025 --> 00:33:43,777
- Yeah, I suppose it is.
- Look.
659
00:33:43,777 --> 00:33:46,488
I know it ain't right asking for more
660
00:33:46,488 --> 00:33:48,865
while I still got time
on what you already given me
661
00:33:48,865 --> 00:33:52,327
but I see what happens
to dudes in this league.
662
00:33:53,161 --> 00:33:55,664
One minute, love 'em.
663
00:33:55,664 --> 00:33:57,582
Next minute, ship 'em someplace else.
664
00:33:57,582 --> 00:34:00,335
Or even kick 'em right out the front door.
665
00:34:01,044 --> 00:34:03,046
I don't want that happening to me.
666
00:34:04,005 --> 00:34:07,259
I love the Lakers.
Wanna be here my whole career.
667
00:34:08,427 --> 00:34:12,848
Then again, I don't wanna be a place
that don't feel the same way.
668
00:34:14,224 --> 00:34:18,895
Well, lucky for both of us,
I feel the same way you do.
669
00:34:18,895 --> 00:34:22,524
- But you're saying no.
- No. If I say no, you'll hear me.
670
00:34:22,524 --> 00:34:25,527
You know me.
I don't pussyfoot around.
671
00:34:25,527 --> 00:34:29,531
What I'm saying is
if I do decide to do this,
672
00:34:29,531 --> 00:34:33,118
I need to know that you're gonna hold up
your end of the bargain.
673
00:34:33,118 --> 00:34:34,703
Well, I'm always gonna play to win.
674
00:34:34,703 --> 00:34:36,830
I'm not talking about playing.
675
00:34:36,830 --> 00:34:38,415
I'm talking about leadership.
676
00:34:39,416 --> 00:34:41,209
You go waving this contract
in everybody's face,
677
00:34:41,209 --> 00:34:44,254
that causes a problem
that I don't wanna deal with.
678
00:34:47,048 --> 00:34:49,676
What, so, what?
We keep it secret?
679
00:34:49,676 --> 00:34:51,344
We could tell the press
680
00:34:51,344 --> 00:34:54,181
it's just an extension
of your current situation.
681
00:34:54,181 --> 00:34:57,768
It's a multi-year,
multi-million-dollar contract. Period.
682
00:34:58,727 --> 00:35:01,772
And then, the league
keeps the details sealed.
683
00:35:04,608 --> 00:35:06,526
And what exactly is them details?
684
00:35:06,526 --> 00:35:09,571
Well, I was thinking 25 years.
685
00:35:11,406 --> 00:35:12,991
Can't nobody play that long.
686
00:35:12,991 --> 00:35:15,202
For 25 million.
687
00:35:18,288 --> 00:35:21,124
Earvin.
This is not about you finishing out
688
00:35:21,124 --> 00:35:23,919
your playing years in purple and gold.
689
00:35:24,544 --> 00:35:27,172
This is a lifetime commitment.
690
00:35:27,172 --> 00:35:29,257
I told you you were my family.
691
00:35:30,884 --> 00:35:32,219
And I meant it.
692
00:35:33,261 --> 00:35:36,389
It's pretty hard not to
believe you right about now.
693
00:35:36,389 --> 00:35:39,351
But there's the thing.
This is a team.
694
00:35:39,976 --> 00:35:43,230
If I elevate you above everybody else,
695
00:35:43,230 --> 00:35:44,689
there could be blowback.
696
00:35:44,689 --> 00:35:46,525
I can deal with them.
697
00:35:46,525 --> 00:35:48,944
Just like you dealt with Norm last year?
698
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,197
But that was some other shit.
699
00:35:52,197 --> 00:35:53,907
And it's a problem.
700
00:35:57,661 --> 00:35:58,829
Twenty-five years?
701
00:35:58,829 --> 00:36:00,414
That's what he said.
702
00:36:00,414 --> 00:36:03,583
And 25 million dollars!
703
00:36:03,583 --> 00:36:05,627
That's a lot of money, Earvin.
704
00:36:05,627 --> 00:36:07,295
Enough for us to live on.
705
00:36:07,295 --> 00:36:10,674
On the biggest hill there is,
right on the ocean!
706
00:36:10,674 --> 00:36:14,261
-Us?
- Come on, Cook. We gon' be together.
707
00:36:14,261 --> 00:36:16,555
You can keep playing
this little game about your boy.
708
00:36:16,555 --> 00:36:18,181
His name is Virgil.
709
00:36:19,182 --> 00:36:22,060
Okay, let's say I make
the biggest mistake of my life,
710
00:36:22,060 --> 00:36:23,687
leave him, and come back to you.
711
00:36:23,687 --> 00:36:25,647
Let's say it! Now we talkin'!
712
00:36:25,647 --> 00:36:27,732
It's not happening in LA.
713
00:36:28,567 --> 00:36:30,736
- That's where I'm at, though.
-That's my point!
714
00:36:30,736 --> 00:36:33,572
It's too much going on out there.
715
00:36:33,572 --> 00:36:35,741
Fast women, fake people.
716
00:36:36,450 --> 00:36:37,534
I'm a Lansing girl.
717
00:36:37,534 --> 00:36:38,785
Hold up.
718
00:36:40,162 --> 00:36:42,831
So you saying I gotta
leave here to be with you?
719
00:36:42,831 --> 00:36:47,002
It's not happening anyway,
so why are we discussing this?
720
00:36:47,002 --> 00:36:50,213
But if we was,
you telling me I gotta be, what,
721
00:36:50,213 --> 00:36:53,800
a Piston? A Pacer? A plumber?
722
00:36:56,261 --> 00:36:59,973
I'm out here where everybody wanna be,
making all the money in the world,
723
00:36:59,973 --> 00:37:01,600
and now I gotta give all that up for you?
724
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,185
I'm not asking you to give up anything.
725
00:37:03,185 --> 00:37:04,728
We're not together, Earvin.
726
00:37:04,728 --> 00:37:06,480
And way it sound,
we ain't gonna be!
727
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,232
I'm marrying the Lakers
and anybody wanna be with me
728
00:37:09,232 --> 00:37:11,151
gotta be married to 'em, too.
729
00:37:11,902 --> 00:37:14,488
You know what?
You and Virgil have a good night.
730
00:37:24,539 --> 00:37:25,957
Norman!
731
00:37:25,957 --> 00:37:27,709
- Ha, ha! Dr. Buss!
- Get in here!
732
00:37:27,709 --> 00:37:29,795
- Yeah!
- I hope you brought your appetite!
733
00:37:29,795 --> 00:37:32,672
- Yep. Yep. I did.
- I stole Setsuo here from Sammy Davis Jr.
734
00:37:32,672 --> 00:37:34,257
He puts on quite the spread.
735
00:37:34,257 --> 00:37:35,926
Is that right?
Well, hey, pulling out all the stops.
736
00:37:35,926 --> 00:37:38,386
Hey, man, I'm just happy that
we get to do something finally,
737
00:37:38,386 --> 00:37:40,055
- you and me.
- Yeah, we don't do it enough.
738
00:37:40,055 --> 00:37:42,099
That's why I wanted you to come over,
have a little brunch,
739
00:37:42,099 --> 00:37:43,517
- clear the air.
- Ah, man.
740
00:37:43,517 --> 00:37:45,310
Oh, Magic's here, too, by the way.
741
00:37:46,478 --> 00:37:48,146
Hey, you lookin' fly!
742
00:37:48,146 --> 00:37:51,400
You looking fly as hell
with that jacket, man.
743
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,360
Hey, check out the spread!
744
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,904
Get you some deviled eggs.
They good as a mug.
745
00:37:58,323 --> 00:37:59,574
Woo!
746
00:37:59,574 --> 00:38:00,992
Make yourself at home.
747
00:38:00,992 --> 00:38:02,869
Get him a plate here.
There you go.
748
00:38:02,869 --> 00:38:04,162
Here, take a little fork.
749
00:38:04,162 --> 00:38:06,373
Alright. Well!
750
00:38:06,373 --> 00:38:09,418
Guys, you know we all wish last year
had turned out different
751
00:38:09,418 --> 00:38:12,546
but it's no use crying
over spilled dreams, right?
752
00:38:12,546 --> 00:38:14,673
What I'm trying to do is figure out
753
00:38:14,673 --> 00:38:18,135
what went wrong
and how we get back to winning.
754
00:38:25,267 --> 00:38:26,726
Why you asking me?
755
00:38:26,726 --> 00:38:29,104
Well, we all read the papers, Norm.
756
00:38:31,148 --> 00:38:33,608
I mean, come on.
You know how the press be. Twisting shit.
757
00:38:34,317 --> 00:38:37,863
Yeah. Yeah, that they do,
but they don't make up quotes, Norm.
758
00:38:37,863 --> 00:38:40,449
So, let's just call it like it is.
759
00:38:41,032 --> 00:38:43,160
If you think Magic is
stealing too much attention,
760
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,912
you gotta say that, you know?
761
00:38:45,912 --> 00:38:47,789
Better out than in.
762
00:38:51,918 --> 00:38:53,587
You know, Dr. Buss,
I just play basketball.
763
00:38:53,587 --> 00:38:56,173
You're damn right you do
and you do it well.
764
00:38:57,007 --> 00:38:59,217
But this is a question of chemistry.
765
00:38:59,217 --> 00:39:00,802
You know what I'm saying?
766
00:39:01,970 --> 00:39:03,638
I just want people to be happy.
767
00:39:03,638 --> 00:39:06,224
Norm, I just want you to be happy.
768
00:39:07,309 --> 00:39:10,729
And if you two can't be happy
on the same team,
769
00:39:11,396 --> 00:39:13,899
well, that's something we can deal with.
770
00:39:14,649 --> 00:39:15,650
Because truly,
771
00:39:16,735 --> 00:39:19,154
I could trade you
to any team in this league.
772
00:39:19,154 --> 00:39:21,406
Any team would be happy to have you.
773
00:39:21,406 --> 00:39:22,574
You're that good.
774
00:39:22,574 --> 00:39:25,077
I ain't asking to go nowhere, Dr Buss.
775
00:39:25,077 --> 00:39:26,870
No?
776
00:39:26,870 --> 00:39:29,915
- No.
- Because if we're being honest,
777
00:39:29,915 --> 00:39:33,001
I cannot have another losing season.
778
00:39:34,461 --> 00:39:35,879
I just can't.
779
00:39:39,091 --> 00:39:43,428
So if you got something on your chest,
now's the time to say it.
780
00:39:48,725 --> 00:39:50,477
We are all ears.
781
00:39:59,027 --> 00:40:00,404
It's all good.
782
00:40:00,404 --> 00:40:03,031
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
783
00:40:03,031 --> 00:40:05,117
I love LA
784
00:40:05,117 --> 00:40:07,869
and I love playing for the Lakers.
785
00:40:11,957 --> 00:40:13,708
And Buck?
786
00:40:18,422 --> 00:40:20,215
We good.
787
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,471
Earvin? What do you think?
788
00:40:32,269 --> 00:40:34,688
I think Norman
789
00:40:38,108 --> 00:40:40,110
should stop eating my melon.
790
00:40:46,032 --> 00:40:47,826
I had to mess with him a little bit.
791
00:40:47,826 --> 00:40:49,828
Well, we're one big happy family again.
792
00:40:49,828 --> 00:40:51,621
- Yeah!
- That was easy.
793
00:40:51,621 --> 00:40:53,790
- Eat up! Come on.
- Let's eat something now, huh?
794
00:40:53,790 --> 00:40:55,333
Only one way to get through this
795
00:40:55,333 --> 00:40:57,502
and that's by telling
each other the truth.
796
00:41:03,967 --> 00:41:08,138
A past that's sprinkled with the blues
797
00:41:10,682 --> 00:41:13,852
A few old dreams
798
00:41:13,852 --> 00:41:15,729
That I can't use
799
00:41:17,522 --> 00:41:21,234
Who'll buy my memories
800
00:41:23,487 --> 00:41:27,449
Of things that used to be?
801
00:41:33,789 --> 00:41:36,666
There were the smiles
802
00:41:37,417 --> 00:41:39,419
Before the tears
803
00:41:41,171 --> 00:41:43,924
And with a smile
804
00:41:43,924 --> 00:41:46,009
Some better years
805
00:41:48,053 --> 00:41:51,515
Who'll buy my memories
806
00:41:55,477 --> 00:41:58,897
Of things that used to be?
807
00:42:03,652 --> 00:42:06,571
When I remember
808
00:42:06,571 --> 00:42:08,365
How things were
809
00:42:10,158 --> 00:42:12,702
My memories
810
00:42:13,495 --> 00:42:15,497
All lead to her
811
00:42:18,166 --> 00:42:20,669
I'd like to start
812
00:42:20,669 --> 00:42:23,171
My life anew
813
00:42:24,673 --> 00:42:27,801
But memories
814
00:42:28,468 --> 00:42:30,262
Just make me blue
815
00:42:33,223 --> 00:42:35,892
A cottage small
816
00:42:36,601 --> 00:42:38,437
Just built for two
817
00:42:40,897 --> 00:42:44,067
A garden wall
818
00:42:44,067 --> 00:42:46,278
With violets blue
819
00:42:48,363 --> 00:42:52,033
Who'll buy my memories
820
00:42:56,204 --> 00:42:58,999
Of things that used to be?
821
00:43:04,921 --> 00:43:07,674
When I remember
822
00:43:07,674 --> 00:43:09,801
How things were
823
00:43:11,303 --> 00:43:14,723
My memories
824
00:43:15,515 --> 00:43:17,058
All lead to her
825
00:43:19,811 --> 00:43:22,355
I'd like to start
826
00:43:22,355 --> 00:43:24,733
My life anew
827
00:43:26,485 --> 00:43:29,946
But memories
828
00:43:31,323 --> 00:43:33,325
Just make me blue
829
00:43:35,911 --> 00:43:38,872
A cottage small
830
00:43:38,872 --> 00:43:40,874
Just built for two
831
00:43:43,085 --> 00:43:46,004
A garden wall
