17

00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,896
one of the toughest challenges
of my life.

30
00:01:02,896 --> 00:01:04,231
When I got to
the University of Miami,

31
00:01:04,231 --> 00:01:05,857
it was in 1990,
and I was a freshman.

32
00:01:05,857 --> 00:01:10,362
And I was joining the reigning
defending national champions.

33
00:01:10,362 --> 00:01:11,572
Let me tell you something,
brother.

34
00:01:11,572 --> 00:01:13,073

pack of dogs

36
00:01:14,658 --> 00:01:17,661
Plan was to become a starter,
kick ass on Saturdays,

37
00:01:17,661 --> 00:01:18,787

38
00:01:18,787 --> 00:01:21,707
and buy my parents
their first‐ever home.

39
00:01:23,625 --> 00:01:25,335
Speaking of,
when I left for Miami,

40
00:01:25,335 --> 00:01:26,920
my parents shut down
their cleaning business

41
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,591

to Tampa to be close by.

45

Now, unfortunately,

46
00:01:37,222 --> 00:01:39,099

became homeless

47
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:41,101

at the time.

into the country

513
00:20:30,479 --> 00:20:34,734
‐ I made us reservations
at Rene's Dolphin Palace.

514
00:20:34,734 --> 00:20:36,861
Let's have a swim.
‐ For real?

515
00:20:36,861 --> 00:20:37,820
‐ [laughs]

516
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:43,701
Thank you
for helping our son.

517
00:20:46,579 --> 00:20:48,122
‐ Oh, bring your camera.

518
00:20:48,122 --> 00:20:52,585
I want to have a dolphin jump
over me while I look up.

519
00:20:52,585 --> 00:20:53,753
‐ Thanks for joining us, man.

520
00:20:53,753 --> 00:20:55,254
I appreciate you
coming here, Dwayne.

521
00:20:55,254 --> 00:20:58,507
Before I let you go, we got
a special surprise for you.

522
00:20:58,507 --> 00:21:00,092
‐ What's up, man?
I can't hear.

523
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:01,594
Yeah, tell him
I can't hear him.

524
00:21:01,594 --> 00:21:03,179
What do you say, man?
‐ It's Coach O.

525
00:21:03,179 --> 00:21:04,388
‐ How's your pad level?

526
00:21:04,388 --> 00:21:05,931
‐ Low. Low.
‐ Low man wins.

527
00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:07,933
Low man wins.
[laughter]

528
00:21:07,933 --> 00:21:09,560
We've all had
a learning curve

529
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,853
when it comes
to head stuff.

530
00:21:10,853 --> 00:21:12,688
But I've always respected
how you fought

531
00:21:12,688 --> 00:21:15,024
through hard times, Dewey.
You didn't quit.

532
00:21:15,024 --> 00:21:18,611
Me and you've been down,
but we've never been out.

533
00:21:18,611 --> 00:21:20,613
‐ That's so true, Coach.
I want to say thank you.

534
00:21:20,613 --> 00:21:22,281
And I love you.
Thank you, Coach.

535
00:21:22,281 --> 00:21:24,825
‐ Very proud of you.
And I love you too, son.

536
00:21:26,285 --> 00:21:27,787
Go, Tigers!

537
00:21:27,787 --> 00:21:29,246
‐ Wow.
‐ That was Coach O, everybody.

538
00:21:29,246 --> 00:21:31,123
‐ All right, man.
[chuckles]
