- [dog barks] - [sounds of basketball practice]
- [players] Backboard! - Backboard!
[players shout indistinctly]
[Damien] Eli is back in the Overtime Elite.
[Eli laughs mockingly]
[Damien] When he told us that he was moving back home,
we wanted to keep him in the OTE League
and decided to move the YNG Dreamerz to North Carolina for him.
[indistinct yells]
[Damien] He's played tremendous basketball this year. I mean, his numbers don't lie.
Multiple 40-point games.
He has so much fun playing.
Turnover! [mock laughs]
[Damien] He just brings his lunch pail every game.
Didn't mean to be fucking with y'all mental, bro!
People thought the Dreamerz weren't going to be any good.
Somebody said at the beginning that they're not going to win a game.
So I let them build their own perception on me, and I just lead by example.
- [energetic music] - [announcer] Oh, my goodness!
- [crowd roars] - [whistle blows]
And one! You can’t guard shit!
[announcer] Three ball! Bucket!
[Eli] I fill up the stat sheet pretty easily.
In a minute, you can be up 15 and I can break the lead like that.
[announcer] Oh, the steal!
[Damien] It's been crazy. The fans go nuts.
He's a star, and he knows it.
- [whistle blows] - [crowd] Overrated! [claps]
[announcer] Oh wow, they’re chanting overrated!
[Damien] He's the hero and the villain at the same time, and you know,
- when you have that, you have it all. - [crowd cheers]
[dramatic music]
[John] I always kind of laugh when you hear
that basketball is not a physical sport.
I mean, we're considered the ballerinas of sports.
I don't think people realize, you know,
we weren't meant to do some of the things that these athletes do now.
And not only are they doing it, they're doing it crashing into each other.
[Jeremiah] Watch out, watch out, move, move!
[whistle blows]
[screams] Fuck! Oh, shit! I can’t move, bro.
[John] When Jeremiah injured his ankle, I didn't see how he came down,
but 20 years of coaching basketball, you know that scream.
[Jeremiah] Some things you just gotta do, pain is temporary.
We got a week and a half off after this.
[John] Where we were at the next day was the absolute worst point.
Throbbing, huge swelling, and could put zero pressure on it at all.
At that point, I mean, I thought there was a possibility it was broken.
I thought Atlanta was supposed to be warm?
- Hell yeah, cold as shit. - [John laughs]
Moving quick enough right now, look like you could play in the boot.
I've been saying I wanted to play since the day after I twisted my ankle,
but really just listening to the doctors,
seeing if they feel like they can help me play today.
[doctor] How we doing if I push right here?
- [Jeremiah] Good. - [doctor] Okay.
[Jeremiah] Good. Good.
[doctor] So, I'm not making you jump up and down?
A little bit, but it don’t hurt bad.
- Oh, yeah, right there. - [doctor] Right there,
- you got a little bit more. - Mm.
[doctor] Okay. So, you can tell. Here, you can see tendon structures. Okay?
Here, you can't, because there's swelling around.
[John] Yeah.
- So, basically, grade two ankle sprain. - [Jeremiah] Mm-hm.
Meaning that you tore probably one ligament completely
and maybe a little bit of another. Okay?
You go out, do your shoot around. If you're not having pain,
if you can jump, you can run, you're not limping, then go ahead and play the game.
And if you are, then be smart enough to say, "Hey, coach, look,
- I can't push off on this." - [Jeremiah] Mm-hm.
"It just hurts too much," because otherwise, you know,
he's going to get in trouble and twist it again or something like that.
[indistinct]
[doctor] The worst thing I can do for you is make it so this thing blows out,
and then you never play basketball again.
[John] We have the big matchup versus Eli Ellis tonight.
There's no question that right now the Dreamerz are the hottest team in OTE,
so it’s one of those things where a win right now, tonight,
against a team as hot as this is, against the possible MVP of the league,
and I think that's why Jeremiah's even giving this a consideration tonight.
Eli Ellis is nowhere close to me on anything basketball-wise.
But, like I said, all that's to show whenever--
if I do play today, it'll be all shown on the court.
[John] As someone who just loves the kid, you're terrified.
I told him, “Man, are we sure about this?”
But with his shooting, he’s been out for so long. He needs this.
You know, I said, "If you can make it through shoot around,
I’ll let you play tonight."
Shoot some free throws today? Damn, Shaq, help us out. [laughs]
- How you feeling? - Good.
I need to get some of these.
Let’s see how they look on me. Look. [laughs]
- How you feeling? - [Daquan] I’m good.
Yeah? So every game that you go out there,
you should just be thinking "I'mma guard, and I'mma set the table."
You get a young fella going, let him knock down a couple of them corner threes.
I bet you that drive become a lot easier now. Ain’t nobody helpin'.
RWE currently is sitting at 2-3.
I think they could easily be 4-1, had Somto not been injured.
But it is what it is.
Below .500 is probably not where they want to be right now.
Hey, Dan. What's up, man? Dealing with this Somto situation,
you know, he need to be present,
that’s just being professional about anything,
because you go to college, you still coming to practice every day,
especially if they say you could still run your conditioning and all that.
You still need to get this stuff in. Okay. All right. Thank you.
This morning, you know, Somto wasn't in practice,
so I just wanted him to get in here and be present.
Your guys still need you here. That tells them that they're no good without you.
That's the message you're sending.
Somto ain't coming back?
No, I'm not-- listen. I'm off of him. Off of him. Like, I hit him up.
He ain't responding. I got other guys I got to, you know, get ready for, so.
Hey, here's what I'm telling you right now. Your warning is now.
Crack a smile. Laugh. You're out. Today is not one of them days.
I understand you're going through it, but don't feel sorry for yourself.
You're not the only person who's ever had an injury, or whatever the case so,
it's just not the way the world works.
The world moves on, like, and you have to move on, too,
and try to figure out what's next... "Okay, all right, how can I get back?"
And right now, you're not working on "how can I get back."
I think a lot of times when you're in that draft conversation,
you just have to be consistent.
And if you're not consistent in what you do,
then that's when people start to wonder.
[chill music]
[shower runs]
I can’t be looking homeless like this.
This is the longest I've been away from playing.
Like two months, I think? Yeah. Two months. But I’ve had injuries before.
Being out for some months, that’s a lot of time.
The first three weeks was the most difficult.
The first week was, I was in denial. Second week was acceptance,
the third week was, “How do I change it?”
Uh, do I think it could be better with me playing?
Yes, definitely would have been better,
but, you know, I think they're holding up all right.
You know, so far it's been, you know, ups and downs,
they win some games, some games we lose, and I feel like if I was there,
we would have won that game. I'll probably wear these today. Yeah.
[game system starts up]
Bro, this brace is so tight, man. I can't even move my thumb.
I had a very rough childhood.
My dad passed away when I was nine,
so I was very hardheaded.
Always rebelling against everything.
All right. They are trying hard to lose so much.
Let me take my brace off so we'll play.
I left everybody behind, my whole family.
I haven't seen some of my siblings in years. The day I left Nigeria,
I can remember at the airport, I was cryin’, my mom was crying.
I, yeah, I left. I haven’t seen them in-- Yeah, since then. That was it.
[phone rings]
[Somto] Lisa’s calling me. What's up?
- [Lisa] How are you? How you doing? - [Somto] Good. I'm always good, Wa.
- [Lisa] You're not always good. - Oh, okay. You saying that too?
[speaks foreign language]
[Lisa] I'm just saying, I just think you say that
just because you don't want people to worry.
You think so?
[Lisa] If you are good, why have you not been going to practice on a regular basis?
I don't want to just go over there and sit on the sidelines
and tell them, “Oh, you’re not working hard enough.”
[Lisa] You know, and you got to consider that, you know,
you have a lot of younger guys on the team,
that you need to play that leader role for them and show them that, you know,
even in times like these, you still have to show up.
[Somto groans]
When I moved here. I didn't know anybody.
I don't trust anybody.
But fortunately for me, Lisa especially, she taught me to trust.
She taught me, “This is what you’re gonna do if you go this way,
this is the result, but if you go this way,
this is how it’s gonna turn out,” and you know, it’s up to me to decide.
- [Lisa] If the scan comes back... - [Somto] Mm-hm.
[Lisa] ...how are you going to handle it if they say, “Give it four more weeks?”
Ah, something wrong with their machine.
[laughs]
[Lisa] What are you gonna do?
If I go to the doctor, if I'm 99%, I'm playing. [laughs]
If I'm 75, I'm playing.
Oh, my God, Wawa, I want to play so bad, Wawa.
I’m about to lose my mind, Wawa. [groans]
[Lisa] I know, I know, but I think you also have to be realistic.
[Somto] I got to start playing before I lose my mind.
- [man] One, two, three, four, five... - [keys jingle]
...six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 11, 12, 13, 14...
[ice pack rustles]
[Pete] P.G., P.G. Dell, come, Dell.
After he ice, you're gonna put your--
yeah, that's how-- you're just gonna lay back, son.
Or, if this more comfortable, you put a chair where the garbage is,
and he have his foot... you know what I mean?
[Dellquan] Yeah, this all happened this morning.
When I got out of bed, I stepped on one of the shoes.
- And it's like my knee had went, like... - [Pastor G] Twisted?
Yeah. I'll be back though, it's nothing, it’s nothing too serious.
[Pete] All practice, I need to hear one person vocally.
- You know who that person is? - [man] Who’s that?
- Dellquan Warren. - [man] Oh, Dellquan?
- [applause] - There we go! There we go! [laughs]
- [Pete] Ready? - [man] Go!
[Pastor G] Sometimes, people hear the phrase tough love
and they have a certain thought of that.
I think Pete actually just practices authentic and real love,
where love comes with discipline. Love comes with sacrifice.
Love comes with struggle. And love comes with truth.
[Pete] The name of the bone
- is called your humerus bone. - [Solomon] Oh.
They call it your funny bone and the real name of it is humerus.
- You get it? [groans] - [laughs]
[Pete] When I started here, I had a big learning curve,
and we started 2-7.
Everybody was like, “Pete don't know what he doing, get rid of him.”
The first thing about being a leader is to change somebody's perspective.
Not change who they are, 'cause I don't change anybody.
- Ready, go! - [indistinct shouting]
- [man] No! 2.9! - [cackling]
He ran a 40 in like, three flat,
- I ain’t gonna lie. - Thank you, that’s what I wanted to hear.
I just really make them the best versions of themselves.
Yup, yup, yup, yup!
We're moving in the right direction at the right time.
I watch everybody get engaged, and now everybody is now becoming one.
And like I told y'all, I'm going to be with y'all every day.
We have to give people something to cheer for,
something for people to rally behind.
If we win, we get a chance to hopefully stay in this league.
But we're not where we need to be as of yet.
Everybody, we are understanding some of our shortcomings,
and we're finding ways to improve it.
I love the trajectory we on,
but I'm letting you know, I'm not going to let us go backwards.
[indistinct chatter]
[Jeremiah] I think this might be the fastest I've seen somebody... Huh?
- [Eli] You playing? - [Jeremiah] I don't know.
- Bro, you can tell me, bro. - [Jeremiah] I don't know. It's the plan,
but if I go out there and it's hurting too bad, then I...
[Eli] Yeah, you better chill on that.
- Yeah, I ain't going. - I mean, I want you to play, but...
[Jeremiah] Six days since I done touched the ball, but...
my thought process is that every day you got, you’re blessed to play basketball,
you never know when that day could be over with,
so, why not take a little risk to play the game that you love,
and that you put your all into.
[Jeremy] I don't think Jeremiah's playing tonight.
He said he's going to try, but he can't walk. Yeah.
- [John] Hey. Hey. You playing? - Yeah.
[John] Okay. We'll switch up now. Jerm's going to be in the lineup.
When he comes in, I want Jerm in the middle.
And you feel like you can take your man off the dribble and you're feeling good,
attack the shit out of that middle. Okay? Go to work on it.
When you're on a losing streak, it doesn't not only not get easier,
it just, it gets harder.
- Together on three. One, two, three. - [all] Together.
I'm going to put him in first dead ball and see what we got.
At this point in the season, I want to win for Jeremiah.
I just want to see the smile on their face,
the relief of the streak being over.
[announcer] We are back in Atlanta, Georgia for another exciting OTE matchup.
The Diamond Doves take on the number one scorer
in high school basketball, Eli Ellis, and the YNG Dreamerz.
[upbeat music]
Eli Ellis, shimmy shake to the basket,
tough bucket.
[announcer 2] That is insane.
[announcer 1] Ellis to the lane, off the glass.
It’s nothing this dude can’t do.
Oh, my good-- count it. And it continues.
The Diamond Doves have no answer for Eli Ellis.
- [John] Jerm, let's go! - [buzzer sounds]
You good, you're 100 percent?
I'm not 100 percent, but I'm good enough to play.
- [Tom] For sure. - [Jeremiah] Yeah, I'mma do my best.
- I'mma do my best. - [Tom] Awesome, Jeremiah Johnson.
Gonna check in right now, I think. Let's get it done, man.
[announcer 1] Jeremiah, top of the key. Three-pointer.
Money! It's good.
[announcer 2] Steps on the court, limping. Hitting a three.
I don't know anyone that wants it more.
[announcer 1] Johnson, another three.
- Rattles around and it goes. - [announcer 3] Oh, my goodness.
[announcer 2] Yo, this is insane.
I got to burn a time out because you can't run the fuck-- Come on, man.
We're good, all right? We're getting what we want.
Defensively, we just got to make sure we keep talking now.
When I get in the middle, too, some of y’all gotta cut,
everybody can’t just stand on the three.
[announcer 1] Eli drives right to the basket, and it goes.
[announcer 2] Boom. Lord have mercy.
[buzzer sounds]
[announcer 1] And we are headed to the half.
We're not tough enough to make the little plays, win the little battles,
all right, that are going to win us the game.
[coach] Hey, y'all, number two, bro, if he's in the game, he can't do anything.
- [player] Yeah, he wanted to shoot. - [coach] Just run. He can't even run.
[announcer 1] Welcome back to the start of the second half.
Eli has taken complete control of this game.
[announcer 2] Yo, this is rude though, like I'm so serious, this is rude.
- [announcer 1] Oh! - [announcer 3] That was a great play.
Ellis coming downhill.
- [announcer 3] No, sir. - [announcer 2] This is nasty.
Eli? You talk like this all the time?
[Eli] I’m averaging like 40, bruh.
I’m saying, you talk shit like this all the time?
[Eli] Oh, hell yeah.
[John] Do you see Eli scoring every basket in the middle right now?
Let's force him to make that pass and close out.
[announcer 1] Jeremiah, wide open three, no good.
[John] Stay in there, stay in there. Get there!
[announcer 1] Cross-court pass, Isaac Ellis for three, no good.
Rebound, Jeremiah, oh.
And he just doesn’t look like himself tonight.
[announcer 2] If you're a Diamond Dove, I'm not trying to instigate,
this has to eat at you, man.
- [player shouts indistinctly] - Hey, get me out. Get me out.
[John] Talk to me.
I just wasted my time fucking playing.
- I didn’t touch the ball. - You didn't. You didn't.
You didn't, 'cause you did your thing. Okay?
Hey, this is where you show as a leader.
We're not out of this yet. Know what I mean? Come on.
[announcer 1] Oh my goodness! Eli Ellis catches a body!
[announcer 2] Are you serious?
- [announcer 1] 50-point game. - [crowd roars]
[Jeremiah] Fuck that shit, bro.
[announcer 1] Eli Ellis with another amazing performance tonight.
At this point, he is the clear-cut favorite for MVP.
[John] We gotta figure it out.
I know how you guys feel.
We gotta continue to have trust in our teammates.
When we get back on Tuesday, anyone that doesn't want to be here,
you know, no problem. You don't need to be here.
But I'm going to continue to fight for the next five games
with the guys that wanna be here and want to try to, you know,
continue to get better and try to peak at the right time.
[Jeremiah] That experience to me was, you know, it was pretty rough.
I didn’t really produce that much,
so I feel like it was pointless for me being out there.
I could have been easily been like, “Okay, I’m not gonna play,” you know?
Make sure I keep my numbers the same and stuff like that,
but just me being the competitive way that I am,
if I feel like I can get out there, I'mma try.
I'mma try my best to get out there.
[Pete] So I want to show you something, right? So you got Howard Houses here.
To our right is Brownsville Houses.
And to our left is where I grew up, is Riverdale Houses.
Some dangerous stuff happened on these blocks.
You don't realize the toll that this takes when you see this every day.
You then start to get a certain outlook on what you think life is supposed to be.
And you want to do a lot of different things.
But you don't feel like you have the power to do so.
So then you kind of conform.
Basketball taught me so much about life
that I ain’t necessarily get at home or necessarily get at school.
Sometimes it's tough. Sometimes it's hard. Sometimes you're ready to give up.
And you just got to try to find a way to push through.
Right, basketball was just a tool to get out of here.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have.
If I could grant these kids the same opportunity, right,
give them a head start in life, I've done my job.
Damn, they got their coats on, it must be real out here.
Dang, it’s like the blizzard is out. My man got the Pooh Shiesty.
- They got the blizzard out. - [man] It's cold. It's cold. It’s cold.
- It’s cold? Oh! [laughs] - [Dellquan] Everybody got their coat on.
[Pete] You're good. What do you want? What you want?
[Dellquan] Can I get a chopped cheese, bro?
- Okay. - [Dellquan] I don’t want nothing on it,
- just... meat and cheese. - [Pete laughs]
[Dellquan] And mayo and ketchup too. That’s it.
[Pete] You know, coming here, obviously having that tough upbringing from Erie,
there's a wealth of things you could achieve here.
It was hard because my mom, she was young when she had me, so.
It was just hard. We stayed in Section 8. I had, like, a minor setback for me,
like, my eighth-grade year, my little brother had passed away,
so that was kind of bad.
So you would say sports kept your mind off trouble when you was out there.
It's really... sports or the streets, to be honest.
So sports is my safe haven, to be honest.
That's why I always tell you to make sure every chance you get,
you speak, you say Erie, you celebrate it, because there's somebody in Erie, right,
there's a dude just grew up like Dellquan that, he needs to hear this.
You know what I'm saying?
He needs to know that he got some hope and ways to get out.
- [Dellquan] Right. - You know?
[Pete] Dellquan is amazing off the court. He's really mild-mannered.
I mean, he's really a good, cool kid,
but Dellquan is going through his internal issues.
He had a practice where he was very vocal,
and some of the vocal things that he was saying was negative.
And I explained to him, like,
“When you are screaming sometimes, like, are you trying to be mean?”
He's like, “No, I just want to compete, and I want to win.”
You know, it's Dell having a fight with himself
because he has an expectation of himself.
I wanted you to know, here, as you develop, I ain't gonna give up on you.
- Mm-hm. - [Pete] We gonna have tough times,
- it's inevitable! - Right. [laughs]
[Pete] But one thing, I'm never gonna give up on you.
- [Dellquan] Mm-hm. - Like, I don't care what you think, right?
Erie, they forgot about you, you was overlooked.
Here? You are extremely important to our success.
- Now, we gotta rock and roll, baby. - Bring it in.
- [Pete] We gotta rock and roll. - [laughs]
[Pete] You know what I'm saying? Let's get to eatin', though.
Hello.
[upbeat music]
[Somto] We're going to the gym right now. Even though I'm not playing,
I still got to stay in shape, man. Because you never know when I'll get back.
And I want to be in better shape than I was before I got hurt.
I've seen so many games that were really close and my team lost.
And I 100% believe that if I played that game, we would've won.
My host mom Lisa helped me see the bright side of it.
I finally had to accept it for what it is and figure out what's the next step.
But I’m saying, bro, hey. When it comes to being a big man, back the fuck up.
- [Somto laughs] - [laughs] I’m a better big man than you!
Get your shoes on!
[Damien] You don’t want that, bro.
- [Somto] I want, I beat... - You gotta work to get back healthy.
I beat you first, you know that? I beat you one-on-one. Come on now!
I realized basketball keeps you sane. I feel like it’s therapy to me, man.
I started watching all the games I would have played, put on headphones,
crank the volume all the way up,
and close my eyes to feel like I'm playing.
It was a point of realization.
I didn't do enough, okay, I will get better.
- [trainer 1] Dropping that basketball. - Take this shit off.
It’s just like you, this is your job, you know, with cameras and stuff.
This is my life.
Good, good hold. Yep, get out. Ball. There's one.
C’mon. Pick these up a little bit. Three. Good. Right there.
- Yeah, good. Good. - [trainer 1] Game him. Game him.
- Shit, you're already tired. - [trainer 2] Get your body set.
Don't let me see you tired. Good.
[Somto] I was getting ready to get back on the court with my teammates
because I think that was the longest two months of my life.
[Savannah] "Marcus' call was scheduled for Monday afternoon,
so it was all I could think about while I ordered these cakes.
I couldn't wait for the morning to be over."
[Lindsay] Daddy's home.
- Hi, Dad! - [Lindsay] Hey.
[Pete] Hey, beautiful. How are you doing? How did she do with the book report?
- I'm only on chapter 22 now. - [Lindsay] Right, 22.
- Only? 22 chapters is good. - Yeah.
- Yeah, but there are 36 chapters! - [Lindsay] It's got 36 chapters,
and the book report is due like on Friday.
- [Pete] Oh. - [laughs]
- We inchin’ closer though. - We got some work to do, right?
Yeah.
You know about this Thursday, I head back to Atlanta, unfortunately--
- When do you come back? - I'll be back on Sunday.
Will we come with you the next, next time?
- [Lindsay] Nope. - Next, next, next, next time?
No. We don't get to go on any of the trips this time.
Schedule just doesn't permit.
I know I fall short a lot of the times, and I appreciate both of your patience,
‘cause I know it's been tough, and it's been a lot of long hours.
[Savannah] On the weekday, when you're here,
you know, sometimes you're working and you come home late when I'm sleeping,
and when you say, sometimes, when you're going to be home like eight, or nine,
you don't end up coming until like ten or 11 sometimes, you know?
And sometimes I try to wait for you to get home, and I just stay up.
Tsk.
[Lindsay] Often people will think,
"Oh, it's just the team that's making the sacrifice,"
or "It's just the coach that's making the sacrifice."
But, like, on the other side of that, we're eating dinner just the two of us,
or, you know, I'm taking the brunt of all of the stress of whatever has to come
with, you know, parenting.
I think the toughest part for me is because I got to do the work. Right?
But the thing I can't really handle is that look on my daughter's face
or that look on my wife's face, to say that I ain't think about them,
and I look past them. That's the toughest one for me.
It is the utmost important to make this dream a reality.
It's almost like it gotta, it gotta work, we gotta win.
I mean, this championship will be everything. We need it.
Well, you're gonna get it.
My prediction is that it's gonna be Jelly Fam against the City Reapers,
and that Jelly Fam is gonna win,
and Dellquan Warren is gonna make the winning shot.
All right? That's my prediction, baby. [laughs]
- [indistinct shouts] - [shoes squeaking]
[announcer] The clock is ticking down.
Elijah for three!
- [buzzer sounds] - [announcer] No good.
And it's a one-point game headed to the half.
[Pete] Fellas, right now, it’s our effort to take over the game.
That’s exactly what it is.
So now, if we wanna take the game over, we can do it!
But we are not sitting down playing D, it seems like our mind is somewhere else.
Help me!
Let’s go, Chop. Let’s go. Dell, come on, I need you, baby, you good?
- Four-minute intervals, kid. - [Ian] All right.
[Pete] You know what I mean? Nah, it’s Dell I gotta talk to.
[Pete] Yo, you understand I gave you an early breather
because I'mma play you heavy
- the second half? - No, I know.
[announcer 1] Welcome back to second half action.
We are locked into a tight one right now.
- [crowd cheers] - [announcer 2] Oh, pretty finish.
[cheering]
[announcer 1] If you’re just joining us,
Dellquan Warren has been going off tonight.
And Jelly Fam needed it.
North Carolina commit Ian Jackson is been playing with the flu.
He's very limited.
Warren, mid-range jumper, it goes.
[announcer 2] What a shot.
- [announcer 1] Dellquan off the screen. - [announcer 2] Oh, my goodness.
- [announcer 1] Behind the back pass. - [announcer 2] That is a dime.
Might find one of those under the couch.
Yes!
- [Dellquan] Yo! - [player indistinct chatter]
[announcer 1] Passmore to the rim, spin move.
- [whistle blows] - And one!
[announcer 2] That was insane.
[Dellquan] What the fuck?
[announcer 1] Dellquan, clearly not happy with that foul.
- [Pete] Thank you. - Yo!
- [announcer 1] Dellquan, three ball. - [Dellquan] Aw, fuck!
[announcer 1] And it won't go.
We have a shootout here in Atlanta.
OSL! OSL!
[announcer 1] Warren drives baseline. Loses it.
- And it's a foul on Jelly Fam. - [Dellquan] Ref!
No! We don't talk to them!
[Dellquan] Bro, they're not calling’ shit, bro.
They never do! What do you want now?
Dell, what do you want now? Don't revert back.
[Dellquan] Yo, ref, call the same thing down here.
[Pete] Everybody sit down, now! Sit down. Everybody sit down.
- [Dellquan] Grabbed my whole fucking arm! - [Pete] It don't matter! It don't matter!
Everybody look at me. Yo, yo. Yo, not now! Not now! Not fucking now.
[Dellquan] What you mean? I'm not doing shit.
[Pete] Yes, you are. Let me tell you what you are doing. I keep telling you.
You matter and you are important. Your energy matters. Your energy matters.
[Dellquan] Fuck it, bro.
[Pete] Yo. A’ight, screw it. Sub him. Fuck it.
You want to be on that shit? Sub him, yo. Let's go. Yo, let's go, yo.
Yo, listen. I ain't with it! I ain't with it!
[Dellquan] I don't give a fuck.
- We're going to lock in, I ain't with it. - What the fuck?
[Pete] I need y'all to know. We don't talk to the ref. We don't need help.
I need everybody to understand me! This is ours.
I don't give a fuck either.
Let's take it back on this little ass lead. Defense on three.
[player] Defense on three. One, two, three.
[team] Defense!
- [Pete] Come on, dude. I ride for you! - [whistle blows]
[Pete] I don't feel that I benched Dellquan. Dellquan benched himself.
This is not about you in the moment.
So you have to sacrifice sometimes how you feel for the team.
[announcer 2] The Blue Checks extend the lead by nine.
[Pete] That is what a leader is.
And whether he likes it or not, he is a leader.
And that may not have been his life prior to this.
But now, this is your situation.
[Dellquan] He took me out, bro, because I talked to the refs, bro.
[Pastor G] It’s okay. Don’t worry about that shit, it’s over.
- That shit is over, move past it. - Nah, bro.
Go tell him you’re ready.
We need you. Yo, we need you!
Captain’s fuckin’ sick, he needs you out there,
we got to play 12, we need you.
Come on.
[announcer 1] Jelly Fam just looks lost out there,
[announcer 2] Coach Pete needs to work his magic right now.
[Pete] Yo, listen.
If you keep worrying about how you're playing, then you bein’ selfish.
It's about the win. It's about the group. Everybody got me?
Yo, fellas, let's lock in.
[announcer 1] Mid-range jumper, won’t go.
[announcer 2] There we go.
[announcer 1] Jelly Fam with some great defense.
[announcer 2] Nice pass. Oh, wow.
[Pete] Yo, listen. Whoever wanna trust me, you gonna see what’s gonna happen.
So, you see, whoever gonna trust me.
I trust everybody.
It's the craziest shit in the world.
[announcer 1] Great ball movement by Jelly Fam.
Open man, three ball, and it's good.
- Boom! - Jelly Fam!
[announcer 2] They needed that shot.
[announcer 1] We've got a seven-point game with four minutes remaining.
Anything can happen.
[Ian] Right there!
[announcer 1] Ian Jackson, to the lane.
- And one! - [announcer 1] Count it!
What I tell you? Every fucking-- I don't get it. I don't get it.
[announcer 1] Jelly Fam can take the lead on this possession.
Has a man, wide open, count it!
- [announcer 2] Big shot! - Ooh! Defense! Defense!
[Pete] Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
[announcer 1] Moore in the corner. And it goes!
An absolutely incredible 23-4 run, Jelly Fam wins 79-72.
And move onto a five-game winning streak.
Incredible performance by Coach Pete.
[announcer 2] That's what I saw, some great coaching down the stretch.
He made the adjustments necessary, man.
[Pete] I'm about the law of attractions.
If you do positive things, positive things happen.
So, right now, I want to focus on our perseverance.
Today, man, we had guys who wanted to try to fight the system.
And the crazy part is that sometimes when you fight the system, right,
you see what happens.
The system is set for you. I am here for you.
Like I keep telling you, the ones that love you the most,
they get the ugliest all the time.
I know how y'all feel.
So, I'm trying to guide, regardless of how you're feeling. Everybody got me?
- One, two, three! - [all] Jelly! [cheers]
