1
00:00:05,923 --> 00:00:10,469
- [dog barks]
- [sounds of basketball practice]

2
00:00:10,553 --> 00:00:12,847
- [players] Backboard!
- Backboard!

3
00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:14,348
[players shout indistinctly]

4
00:00:14,849 --> 00:00:17,309
[Damien]
Eli is back in the Overtime Elite.

5
00:00:17,393 --> 00:00:19,311
[Eli laughs mockingly]

6
00:00:19,395 --> 00:00:21,856
[Damien] When he told us
that he was moving back home,

7
00:00:21,939 --> 00:00:24,483
we wanted to keep him in the OTE League

8
00:00:24,567 --> 00:00:29,530
and decided to move the YNG Dreamerz
to North Carolina for him.

9
00:00:29,613 --> 00:00:31,657
[indistinct yells]

10
00:00:32,116 --> 00:00:36,078
[Damien] He's played tremendous basketball
this year. I mean, his numbers don't lie.

11
00:00:36,495 --> 00:00:38,205
Multiple 40-point games.

12
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:40,583
He has so much fun playing.

13
00:00:40,666 --> 00:00:42,918
Turnover! [mock laughs]

14
00:00:43,002 --> 00:00:45,337
[Damien]
He just brings his lunch pail every game.

15
00:00:45,421 --> 00:00:47,214
Didn't mean to be fucking
with y'all mental, bro!

16
00:00:47,298 --> 00:00:49,967
People thought the Dreamerz
weren't going to be any good.

17
00:00:50,468 --> 00:00:53,637
Somebody said at the beginning that
they're not going to win a game.

18
00:00:53,721 --> 00:00:58,184
So I let them build their own perception
on me, and I just lead by example.

19
00:00:58,267 --> 00:01:01,520
- [energetic music]
- [announcer] Oh, my goodness!

20
00:01:02,646 --> 00:01:06,192
- [crowd roars]
- [whistle blows]

21
00:01:06,275 --> 00:01:08,527
And one! You can’t guard shit!

22
00:01:08,611 --> 00:01:10,780
[announcer]
Three ball! Bucket!

23
00:01:11,405 --> 00:01:13,449
[Eli]
I fill up the stat sheet pretty easily.

24
00:01:13,532 --> 00:01:16,202
In a minute, you can be up 15
and I can break the lead like that.

25
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:18,370
[announcer] Oh, the steal!

26
00:01:19,997 --> 00:01:22,708
[Damien] It's been crazy.
The fans go nuts.

27
00:01:22,792 --> 00:01:24,627
He's a star, and he knows it.

28
00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:27,713
- [whistle blows]
- [crowd] Overrated! [claps]

29
00:01:27,797 --> 00:01:29,423
[announcer]
Oh wow, they’re chanting overrated!

30
00:01:29,507 --> 00:01:32,259
[Damien] He's the hero and the villain
at the same time, and you know,

31
00:01:32,343 --> 00:01:36,722
- when you have that, you have it all.
- [crowd cheers]

32
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:39,934
[dramatic music]

33
00:01:57,618 --> 00:01:59,495
[John]
I always kind of laugh when you hear

34
00:01:59,578 --> 00:02:01,622
that basketball is not a physical sport.

35
00:02:02,081 --> 00:02:06,669
I mean, we're considered
the ballerinas of sports.

36
00:02:07,169 --> 00:02:08,879
I don't think people realize, you know,

37
00:02:08,963 --> 00:02:12,049
we weren't meant to do some of the things
that these athletes do now.

38
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:14,885
And not only are they doing it,
they're doing it crashing into each other.

39
00:02:16,262 --> 00:02:18,180
[Jeremiah]
Watch out, watch out, move, move!

40
00:02:21,183 --> 00:02:22,351
[whistle blows]

41
00:02:22,434 --> 00:02:27,147
[screams] Fuck! Oh, shit!
I can’t move, bro.

42
00:02:27,857 --> 00:02:31,610
[John] When Jeremiah injured his ankle,
I didn't see how he came down,

43
00:02:32,111 --> 00:02:34,864
but 20 years of coaching basketball,
you know that scream.

44
00:02:36,031 --> 00:02:40,035
[Jeremiah] Some things
you just gotta do, pain is temporary.

45
00:02:40,911 --> 00:02:43,497
We got a week and a half off after this.

46
00:02:44,123 --> 00:02:47,126
[John] Where we were at the next day
was the absolute worst point.

47
00:02:47,209 --> 00:02:52,006
Throbbing, huge swelling,
and could put zero pressure on it at all.

48
00:02:53,048 --> 00:02:55,509
At that point, I mean, I thought
there was a possibility it was broken.

49
00:02:56,051 --> 00:02:59,305
I thought Atlanta was supposed to be warm?

50
00:02:59,388 --> 00:03:01,515
- Hell yeah, cold as shit.
- [John laughs]

51
00:03:02,266 --> 00:03:04,935
Moving quick enough right now,
look like you could play in the boot.

52
00:03:05,394 --> 00:03:10,524
I've been saying I wanted to play
since the day after I twisted my ankle,

53
00:03:10,608 --> 00:03:13,110
but really just listening to the doctors,

54
00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:16,155
seeing if they feel like
they can help me play today.

55
00:03:19,283 --> 00:03:21,493
[doctor]
How we doing if I push right here?

56
00:03:21,577 --> 00:03:23,037
- [Jeremiah] Good.
- [doctor] Okay.

57
00:03:24,038 --> 00:03:27,166
[Jeremiah]
Good. Good.

58
00:03:27,875 --> 00:03:29,877
[doctor] So, I'm not
making you jump up and down?

59
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,087
A little bit, but it don’t hurt bad.

60
00:03:32,171 --> 00:03:33,672
- Oh, yeah, right there.
- [doctor] Right there,

61
00:03:33,756 --> 00:03:35,716
- you got a little bit more.
- Mm.

62
00:03:35,799 --> 00:03:41,013
[doctor] Okay. So, you can tell.
Here, you can see tendon structures. Okay?

63
00:03:41,096 --> 00:03:43,474
Here, you can't,
because there's swelling around.

64
00:03:43,557 --> 00:03:44,391
[John]
Yeah.

65
00:03:44,475 --> 00:03:47,353
- So, basically, grade two ankle sprain.
- [Jeremiah] Mm-hm.

66
00:03:47,436 --> 00:03:51,482
Meaning that you tore probably
one ligament completely

67
00:03:51,565 --> 00:03:53,943
and maybe a little bit of another. Okay?

68
00:03:54,026 --> 00:03:56,570
You go out, do your shoot around.
If you're not having pain,

69
00:03:56,654 --> 00:04:00,699
if you can jump, you can run, you're not
limping, then go ahead and play the game.

70
00:04:00,783 --> 00:04:05,037
And if you are, then be smart enough
to say, "Hey, coach, look,

71
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,122
- I can't push off on this."
- [Jeremiah] Mm-hm.

72
00:04:07,206 --> 00:04:10,459
"It just hurts too much,"
because otherwise, you know,

73
00:04:10,542 --> 00:04:13,128
he's going to get in trouble
and twist it again or something like that.

74
00:04:13,212 --> 00:04:14,296
[indistinct]

75
00:04:14,380 --> 00:04:18,467
[doctor] The worst thing I can do for you
is make it so this thing blows out,

76
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:20,636
and then you never
play basketball again.

77
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,432
[John] We have the big matchup
versus Eli Ellis tonight.

78
00:04:26,684 --> 00:04:30,521
There's no question that right now
the Dreamerz are the hottest team in OTE,

79
00:04:30,604 --> 00:04:35,484
so it’s one of those things
where a win right now, tonight,

80
00:04:35,567 --> 00:04:39,947
against a team as hot as this is,
against the possible MVP of the league,

81
00:04:40,572 --> 00:04:44,326
and I think that's why Jeremiah's
even giving this a consideration tonight.

82
00:04:45,285 --> 00:04:49,748
Eli Ellis is nowhere close to me
on anything basketball-wise.

83
00:04:50,833 --> 00:04:53,919
But, like I said,
all that's to show whenever--

84
00:04:54,003 --> 00:04:56,964
if I do play today,
it'll be all shown on the court.

85
00:04:57,506 --> 00:05:00,134
[John] As someone who just
loves the kid, you're terrified.

86
00:05:00,217 --> 00:05:02,177
I told him, “Man, are we sure about this?”

87
00:05:02,636 --> 00:05:06,640
But with his shooting,
he’s been out for so long. He needs this.

88
00:05:07,224 --> 00:05:09,435
You know, I said, "If you can
make it through shoot around,

89
00:05:09,518 --> 00:05:10,978
I’ll let you play tonight."

90
00:05:19,778 --> 00:05:25,659
Shoot some free throws today?
Damn, Shaq, help us out. [laughs]

91
00:05:26,577 --> 00:05:28,078
- How you feeling?
- Good.

92
00:05:29,997 --> 00:05:31,874
I need to get some of these.

93
00:05:31,957 --> 00:05:36,128
Let’s see how they look on me. Look.
[laughs]

94
00:05:36,211 --> 00:05:37,796
- How you feeling?
- [Daquan] I’m good.

95
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,590
Yeah? So every game
that you go out there,

96
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:42,426
you should just be thinking
"I'mma guard, and I'mma set the table."

97
00:05:42,509 --> 00:05:46,263
You get a young fella going, let him knock
down a couple of them corner threes.

98
00:05:46,346 --> 00:05:49,433
I bet you that drive become a lot
easier now. Ain’t nobody helpin'.

99
00:05:50,184 --> 00:05:53,687
RWE currently is sitting at 2-3.

100
00:05:53,771 --> 00:05:59,526
I think they could easily be 4-1,
had Somto not been injured.

101
00:05:59,610 --> 00:06:01,820
But it is what it is.

102
00:06:01,904 --> 00:06:04,615
Below .500 is probably not
where they want to be right now.

103
00:06:09,536 --> 00:06:13,457
Hey, Dan. What's up, man?
Dealing with this Somto situation,

104
00:06:13,540 --> 00:06:15,292
you know, he need to be present,

105
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:17,461
that’s just being professional
about anything,

106
00:06:17,544 --> 00:06:19,880
because you go to college,
you still coming to practice every day,

107
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:23,467
especially if they say you could still run
your conditioning and all that.

108
00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:26,720
You still need to get this stuff in.
Okay. All right. Thank you.

109
00:06:27,346 --> 00:06:29,306
This morning, you know,
Somto wasn't in practice,

110
00:06:29,389 --> 00:06:31,725
so I just wanted him
to get in here and be present.

111
00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:36,396
Your guys still need you here. That tells
them that they're no good without you.

112
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,815
That's the message you're sending.

113
00:06:37,898 --> 00:06:39,274
Somto ain't coming back?

114
00:06:39,358 --> 00:06:43,529
No, I'm not-- listen. I'm off of him.
Off of him. Like, I hit him up.

115
00:06:43,612 --> 00:06:48,325
He ain't responding. I got other guys
I got to, you know, get ready for, so.

116
00:06:48,408 --> 00:06:51,203
Hey, here's what I'm telling you
right now. Your warning is now.

117
00:06:51,286 --> 00:06:57,000
Crack a smile. Laugh. You're out.
Today is not one of them days.

118
00:06:57,084 --> 00:06:59,461
I understand you're going through it,
but don't feel sorry for yourself.

119
00:06:59,545 --> 00:07:03,340
You're not the only person who's ever had
an injury, or whatever the case so,

120
00:07:03,423 --> 00:07:05,175
it's just not the way the world works.

121
00:07:05,259 --> 00:07:07,719
The world moves on, like,
and you have to move on, too,

122
00:07:07,803 --> 00:07:10,764
and try to figure out what's next...
"Okay, all right, how can I get back?"

123
00:07:11,557 --> 00:07:14,101
And right now, you're not
working on "how can I get back."

124
00:07:14,476 --> 00:07:17,980
I think a lot of times
when you're in that draft conversation,

125
00:07:18,063 --> 00:07:19,731
you just have to be consistent.

126
00:07:19,815 --> 00:07:21,817
And if you're not consistent
in what you do,

127
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:23,861
then that's when people start to wonder.

128
00:07:23,944 --> 00:07:26,071
[chill music]

129
00:07:31,577 --> 00:07:32,995
[shower runs]

130
00:07:36,415 --> 00:07:38,041
I can’t be looking homeless like this.

131
00:07:40,961 --> 00:07:43,172
This is the longest
I've been away from playing.

132
00:07:43,714 --> 00:07:49,636
Like two months, I think? Yeah.
Two months. But I’ve had injuries before.

133
00:07:50,637 --> 00:07:53,015
Being out for some months,
that’s a lot of time.

134
00:07:53,098 --> 00:07:56,059
The first three weeks
was the most difficult.

135
00:07:56,768 --> 00:08:00,772
The first week was, I was in denial.
Second week was acceptance,

136
00:08:00,856 --> 00:08:04,234
the third week was, “How do I change it?”

137
00:08:04,818 --> 00:08:08,030
Uh, do I think it could be better
with me playing?

138
00:08:08,113 --> 00:08:09,489
Yes, definitely would have been better,

139
00:08:09,573 --> 00:08:12,534
but, you know,
I think they're holding up all right.

140
00:08:13,452 --> 00:08:19,208
You know, so far it's been,
you know, ups and downs,

141
00:08:19,291 --> 00:08:24,171
they win some games, some games we lose,
and I feel like if I was there,

142
00:08:24,755 --> 00:08:28,175
we would have won that game.
I'll probably wear these today. Yeah.

143
00:08:31,803 --> 00:08:33,347
[game system starts up]

144
00:08:35,641 --> 00:08:38,727
Bro, this brace is so tight, man.
I can't even move my thumb.

145
00:08:41,271 --> 00:08:43,815
I had a very rough childhood.

146
00:08:43,899 --> 00:08:46,193
My dad passed away when I was nine,

147
00:08:46,276 --> 00:08:49,488
so I was very hardheaded.

148
00:08:49,571 --> 00:08:51,281
Always rebelling against everything.

149
00:08:52,241 --> 00:08:54,952
All right. They are trying hard
to lose so much.

150
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:57,871
Let me take my brace off so we'll play.

151
00:08:59,289 --> 00:09:01,750
I left everybody behind, my whole family.

152
00:09:01,833 --> 00:09:05,545
I haven't seen some of my siblings
in years. The day I left Nigeria,

153
00:09:05,629 --> 00:09:09,967
I can remember at the airport,
I was cryin’, my mom was crying.

154
00:09:10,509 --> 00:09:17,349
I, yeah, I left. I haven’t seen them in--
Yeah, since then. That was it.

155
00:09:18,016 --> 00:09:19,059
[phone rings]

156
00:09:19,142 --> 00:09:21,270
[Somto] Lisa’s calling me. What's up?

157
00:09:21,353 --> 00:09:24,398
- [Lisa] How are you? How you doing?
- [Somto] Good. I'm always good, Wa.

158
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:29,945
- [Lisa] You're not always good.
- Oh, okay. You saying that too?

159
00:09:30,696 --> 00:09:31,780
[speaks foreign language]

160
00:09:31,863 --> 00:09:34,116
[Lisa] I'm just saying,
I just think you say that

161
00:09:34,199 --> 00:09:37,202
just because
you don't want people to worry.

162
00:09:38,495 --> 00:09:39,579
You think so?

163
00:09:41,164 --> 00:09:46,628
[Lisa] If you are good, why have you not
been going to practice on a regular basis?

164
00:09:47,379 --> 00:09:49,715
I don't want to just go over there
and sit on the sidelines

165
00:09:49,798 --> 00:09:51,591
and tell them,
“Oh, you’re not working hard enough.”

166
00:09:52,050 --> 00:09:54,469
[Lisa] You know, and you got to
consider that, you know,

167
00:09:54,553 --> 00:09:56,638
you have a lot
of younger guys on the team,

168
00:09:56,722 --> 00:10:01,310
that you need to play that leader role
for them and show them that, you know,

169
00:10:01,393 --> 00:10:05,439
even in times like these,
you still have to show up.

170
00:10:06,189 --> 00:10:07,316
[Somto groans]

171
00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:09,443
When I moved here.
I didn't know anybody.

172
00:10:09,526 --> 00:10:10,944
I don't trust anybody.

173
00:10:11,028 --> 00:10:16,491
But fortunately for me,
Lisa especially, she taught me to trust.

174
00:10:16,575 --> 00:10:19,786
She taught me, “This is what
you’re gonna do if you go this way,

175
00:10:19,870 --> 00:10:22,789
this is the result,
but if you go this way,

176
00:10:22,873 --> 00:10:26,335
this is how it’s gonna turn out,”
and you know, it’s up to me to decide.

177
00:10:26,418 --> 00:10:28,086
- [Lisa] If the scan comes back...
- [Somto] Mm-hm.

178
00:10:28,170 --> 00:10:31,548
[Lisa] ...how are you going to handle it
if they say, “Give it four more weeks?”

179
00:10:31,631 --> 00:10:33,175
Ah, something wrong
with their machine.

180
00:10:33,258 --> 00:10:36,595
[laughs]

181
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:39,973
[Lisa] What are you gonna do?

182
00:10:40,057 --> 00:10:42,934
If I go to the doctor, if I'm 99%,
I'm playing. [laughs]

183
00:10:43,894 --> 00:10:45,729
If I'm 75, I'm playing.

184
00:10:47,356 --> 00:10:49,858
Oh, my God, Wawa,
I want to play so bad, Wawa.

185
00:10:49,941 --> 00:10:52,027
I’m about to lose my mind, Wawa. [groans]

186
00:10:52,110 --> 00:10:56,239
[Lisa] I know, I know,
but I think you also have to be realistic.

187
00:10:59,743 --> 00:11:01,828
[Somto] I got to start playing
before I lose my mind.

188
00:11:06,917 --> 00:11:09,419
- [man] One, two, three, four, five...
- [keys jingle]

189
00:11:09,503 --> 00:11:13,507
...six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
11, 12, 13, 14...

190
00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:15,425
[ice pack rustles]

191
00:11:16,802 --> 00:11:21,848
[Pete]
P.G., P.G. Dell, come, Dell.

192
00:11:22,766 --> 00:11:24,643
After he ice, you're gonna put your--

193
00:11:24,726 --> 00:11:26,645
yeah, that's how--
you're just gonna lay back, son.

194
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:31,191
Or, if this more comfortable,
you put a chair where the garbage is,

195
00:11:31,274 --> 00:11:32,859
and he have his foot...
you know what I mean?

196
00:11:34,277 --> 00:11:35,654
[Dellquan]
Yeah, this all happened this morning.

197
00:11:36,154 --> 00:11:38,281
When I got out of bed,
I stepped on one of the shoes.

198
00:11:38,657 --> 00:11:42,744
- And it's like my knee had went, like...
- [Pastor G] Twisted?

199
00:11:42,828 --> 00:11:46,331
Yeah. I'll be back though,
it's nothing, it’s nothing too serious.

200
00:11:46,957 --> 00:11:49,751
[Pete] All practice,
I need to hear one person vocally.

201
00:11:50,502 --> 00:11:52,337
- You know who that person is?
- [man] Who’s that?

202
00:11:52,421 --> 00:11:54,631
- Dellquan Warren.
- [man] Oh, Dellquan?

203
00:11:54,965 --> 00:11:59,761
- [applause]
- There we go! There we go! [laughs]

204
00:12:00,846 --> 00:12:02,139
- [Pete] Ready?
- [man] Go!

205
00:12:02,222 --> 00:12:04,391
[Pastor G] Sometimes,
people hear the phrase tough love

206
00:12:04,474 --> 00:12:06,017
and they have a certain thought of that.

207
00:12:06,101 --> 00:12:09,729
I think Pete actually just practices
authentic and real love,

208
00:12:09,813 --> 00:12:13,483
where love comes with discipline.
Love comes with sacrifice.

209
00:12:13,567 --> 00:12:16,486
Love comes with struggle.
And love comes with truth.

210
00:12:17,237 --> 00:12:18,530
[Pete]
The name of the bone

211
00:12:18,613 --> 00:12:21,032
- is called your humerus bone.
- [Solomon] Oh.

212
00:12:21,450 --> 00:12:23,869
They call it your funny bone
and the real name of it is humerus.

213
00:12:24,411 --> 00:12:27,998
- You get it? [groans]
- [laughs]

214
00:12:28,081 --> 00:12:31,626
[Pete] When I started here,
I had a big learning curve,

215
00:12:32,294 --> 00:12:34,004
and we started 2-7.

216
00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:38,550
Everybody was like, “Pete don't
know what he doing, get rid of him.”

217
00:12:39,468 --> 00:12:42,804
The first thing about being a leader
is to change somebody's perspective.

218
00:12:42,888 --> 00:12:45,599
Not change who they are,
'cause I don't change anybody.

219
00:12:46,516 --> 00:12:50,645
- Ready, go!
- [indistinct shouting]

220
00:12:52,481 --> 00:12:55,442
- [man] No! 2.9!
- [cackling]

221
00:12:55,525 --> 00:12:57,319
He ran a 40 in like, three flat,

222
00:12:57,402 --> 00:12:59,571
- I ain’t gonna lie.
- Thank you, that’s what I wanted to hear.

223
00:12:59,654 --> 00:13:01,907
I just really make them
the best versions of themselves.

224
00:13:04,618 --> 00:13:06,286
Yup, yup, yup, yup!

225
00:13:06,369 --> 00:13:09,289
We're moving in the right
direction at the right time.

226
00:13:09,372 --> 00:13:14,085
I watch everybody get engaged,
and now everybody is now becoming one.

227
00:13:14,169 --> 00:13:16,963
And like I told y'all,
I'm going to be with y'all every day.

228
00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:20,008
We have to give people
something to cheer for,

229
00:13:20,091 --> 00:13:22,093
something for people to rally behind.

230
00:13:22,177 --> 00:13:26,181
If we win, we get a chance
to hopefully stay in this league.

231
00:13:27,098 --> 00:13:30,352
But we're not
where we need to be as of yet.

232
00:13:30,435 --> 00:13:33,355
Everybody, we are understanding
some of our shortcomings,

233
00:13:33,438 --> 00:13:35,190
and we're finding ways to improve it.

234
00:13:35,649 --> 00:13:37,567
I love the trajectory we on,

235
00:13:37,901 --> 00:13:40,570
but I'm letting you know,
I'm not going to let us go backwards.

236
00:13:48,828 --> 00:13:50,830
[indistinct chatter]

237
00:13:58,421 --> 00:14:01,216
[Jeremiah] I think this might be
the fastest I've seen somebody... Huh?

238
00:14:01,299 --> 00:14:03,176
- [Eli] You playing?
- [Jeremiah] I don't know.

239
00:14:03,260 --> 00:14:06,263
- Bro, you can tell me, bro.
- [Jeremiah] I don't know. It's the plan,

240
00:14:06,346 --> 00:14:09,641
but if I go out there
and it's hurting too bad, then I...

241
00:14:09,724 --> 00:14:11,101
[Eli]
Yeah, you better chill on that.

242
00:14:11,184 --> 00:14:13,562
- Yeah, I ain't going.
- I mean, I want you to play, but...

243
00:14:14,604 --> 00:14:17,065
[Jeremiah] Six days since
I done touched the ball, but...

244
00:14:17,148 --> 00:14:20,277
my thought process is that every day you
got, you’re blessed to play basketball,

245
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,070
you never know when that day
could be over with,

246
00:14:22,153 --> 00:14:25,657
so, why not take a little risk
to play the game that you love,

247
00:14:25,740 --> 00:14:26,992
and that you put your all into.

248
00:14:28,243 --> 00:14:29,869
[Jeremy]
I don't think Jeremiah's playing tonight.

249
00:14:29,953 --> 00:14:33,331
He said he's going to try,
but he can't walk. Yeah.

250
00:14:37,377 --> 00:14:40,422
- [John] Hey. Hey. You playing?
- Yeah.

251
00:14:40,505 --> 00:14:44,217
[John] Okay. We'll switch up now.
Jerm's going to be in the lineup.

252
00:14:44,301 --> 00:14:47,178
When he comes in,
I want Jerm in the middle.

253
00:14:47,596 --> 00:14:50,682
And you feel like you can take your man
off the dribble and you're feeling good,

254
00:14:50,765 --> 00:14:53,852
attack the shit out of that middle.
Okay? Go to work on it.

255
00:14:54,436 --> 00:14:57,814
When you're on a losing streak,
it doesn't not only not get easier,

256
00:14:57,897 --> 00:14:59,983
it just, it gets harder.

257
00:15:00,066 --> 00:15:01,985
- Together on three. One, two, three.
- [all] Together.

258
00:15:02,611 --> 00:15:04,821
I'm going to put him in first dead ball
and see what we got.

259
00:15:04,904 --> 00:15:07,574
At this point in the season,
I want to win for Jeremiah.

260
00:15:07,657 --> 00:15:11,411
I just want to see
the smile on their face,

261
00:15:11,494 --> 00:15:14,414
the relief of the streak being over.

262
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:21,212
[announcer] We are back in Atlanta,
Georgia for another exciting OTE matchup.

263
00:15:21,755 --> 00:15:24,341
The Diamond Doves
take on the number one scorer

264
00:15:24,424 --> 00:15:28,637
in high school basketball,
Eli Ellis, and the YNG Dreamerz.

265
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,138
[upbeat music]

266
00:15:31,806 --> 00:15:35,185
Eli Ellis,
shimmy shake to the basket,

267
00:15:35,268 --> 00:15:36,269
tough bucket.

268
00:15:36,353 --> 00:15:37,729
[announcer 2] That is insane.

269
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:41,608
[announcer 1] Ellis to the lane,
off the glass.

270
00:15:41,691 --> 00:15:44,194
It’s nothing this dude can’t do.

271
00:15:45,445 --> 00:15:48,031
Oh, my good-- count it. And it continues.

272
00:15:48,114 --> 00:15:51,326
The Diamond Doves
have no answer for Eli Ellis.

273
00:15:51,409 --> 00:15:54,537
- [John] Jerm, let's go!
- [buzzer sounds]

274
00:15:54,621 --> 00:15:55,747
You good, you're 100 percent?

275
00:15:56,247 --> 00:15:58,249
I'm not 100 percent,
but I'm good enough to play.

276
00:15:58,333 --> 00:16:00,168
- [Tom] For sure.
- [Jeremiah] Yeah, I'mma do my best.

277
00:16:00,251 --> 00:16:02,128
- I'mma do my best.
- [Tom] Awesome, Jeremiah Johnson.

278
00:16:02,212 --> 00:16:05,382
Gonna check in right now, I think.
Let's get it done, man.

279
00:16:09,886 --> 00:16:12,305
[announcer 1] Jeremiah, top of the key.
Three-pointer.

280
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:13,890
Money! It's good.

281
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:16,601
[announcer 2] Steps on the court, limping.
Hitting a three.

282
00:16:16,685 --> 00:16:18,561
I don't know anyone that wants it more.

283
00:16:18,645 --> 00:16:20,980
[announcer 1] Johnson, another three.

284
00:16:21,064 --> 00:16:23,692
- Rattles around and it goes.
- [announcer 3] Oh, my goodness.

285
00:16:23,775 --> 00:16:25,694
[announcer 2] Yo, this is insane.

286
00:16:25,777 --> 00:16:28,697
I got to burn a time out because
you can't run the fuck-- Come on, man.

287
00:16:28,780 --> 00:16:30,573
We're good, all right?
We're getting what we want.

288
00:16:30,657 --> 00:16:33,326
Defensively, we just got to
make sure we keep talking now.

289
00:16:33,410 --> 00:16:35,537
When I get in the middle, too,
some of y’all gotta cut,

290
00:16:35,620 --> 00:16:36,830
everybody can’t just stand on the three.

291
00:16:38,581 --> 00:16:42,127
[announcer 1] Eli drives right
to the basket, and it goes.

292
00:16:42,210 --> 00:16:44,087
[announcer 2] Boom. Lord have mercy.

293
00:16:44,170 --> 00:16:45,171
[buzzer sounds]

294
00:16:45,255 --> 00:16:47,257
[announcer 1]
And we are headed to the half.

295
00:16:49,968 --> 00:16:53,054
We're not tough enough to make
the little plays, win the little battles,

296
00:16:53,138 --> 00:16:54,889
all right, that are going to
win us the game.

297
00:16:54,973 --> 00:16:57,934
[coach] Hey, y'all, number two, bro,
if he's in the game, he can't do anything.

298
00:16:58,017 --> 00:17:00,895
- [player] Yeah, he wanted to shoot.
- [coach] Just run. He can't even run.

299
00:17:00,979 --> 00:17:03,440
[announcer 1] Welcome back
to the start of the second half.

300
00:17:03,523 --> 00:17:06,609
Eli has taken complete
control of this game.

301
00:17:06,693 --> 00:17:09,904
[announcer 2] Yo, this is rude though,
like I'm so serious, this is rude.

302
00:17:09,988 --> 00:17:12,365
- [announcer 1] Oh!
- [announcer 3] That was a great play.

303
00:17:12,782 --> 00:17:14,325
Ellis coming downhill.

304
00:17:14,409 --> 00:17:16,202
- [announcer 3] No, sir.
- [announcer 2] This is nasty.

305
00:17:17,495 --> 00:17:19,122
Eli? You talk like this all the time?

306
00:17:19,205 --> 00:17:20,832
[Eli] I’m averaging like 40, bruh.

307
00:17:22,083 --> 00:17:23,793
I’m saying, you talk shit
like this all the time?

308
00:17:23,877 --> 00:17:24,753
[Eli] Oh, hell yeah.

309
00:17:24,836 --> 00:17:27,797
[John] Do you see Eli scoring every
basket in the middle right now?

310
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,676
Let's force him to make that pass
and close out.

311
00:17:34,679 --> 00:17:38,183
[announcer 1]
Jeremiah, wide open three, no good.

312
00:17:38,266 --> 00:17:42,353
[John]
Stay in there, stay in there. Get there!

313
00:17:44,647 --> 00:17:48,151
[announcer 1] Cross-court pass,
Isaac Ellis for three, no good.

314
00:17:48,234 --> 00:17:51,529
Rebound, Jeremiah, oh.

315
00:17:52,363 --> 00:17:54,491
And he just doesn’t
look like himself tonight.

316
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:56,993
[announcer 2] If you're a Diamond Dove,
I'm not trying to instigate,

317
00:17:57,076 --> 00:17:58,286
this has to eat at you, man.

318
00:17:58,369 --> 00:18:00,246
- [player shouts indistinctly]
- Hey, get me out. Get me out.

319
00:18:00,330 --> 00:18:01,414
[John] Talk to me.

320
00:18:01,498 --> 00:18:03,541
I just wasted my time fucking playing.

321
00:18:03,625 --> 00:18:05,668
- I didn’t touch the ball.
- You didn't. You didn't.

322
00:18:05,752 --> 00:18:07,670
You didn't, 'cause you did your thing.
Okay?

323
00:18:07,754 --> 00:18:09,672
Hey, this is where you show as a leader.

324
00:18:09,756 --> 00:18:11,633
We're not out of this yet.
Know what I mean? Come on.

325
00:18:13,718 --> 00:18:19,349
[announcer 1] Oh my goodness!
Eli Ellis catches a body!

326
00:18:19,432 --> 00:18:20,642
[announcer 2] Are you serious?

327
00:18:20,725 --> 00:18:22,769
- [announcer 1] 50-point game.
- [crowd roars]

328
00:18:23,436 --> 00:18:25,188
[Jeremiah] Fuck that shit, bro.

329
00:18:25,271 --> 00:18:28,775
[announcer 1] Eli Ellis with another
amazing performance tonight.

330
00:18:28,858 --> 00:18:32,904
At this point,
he is the clear-cut favorite for MVP.

331
00:18:36,449 --> 00:18:38,034
[John] We gotta figure it out.

332
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:39,452
I know how you guys feel.

333
00:18:41,162 --> 00:18:44,833
We gotta continue
to have trust in our teammates.

334
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:48,962
When we get back on Tuesday,
anyone that doesn't want to be here,

335
00:18:49,045 --> 00:18:50,839
you know, no problem.
You don't need to be here.

336
00:18:51,256 --> 00:18:53,550
But I'm going to continue
to fight for the next five games

337
00:18:53,633 --> 00:18:56,427
with the guys that wanna be here
and want to try to, you know,

338
00:18:56,511 --> 00:18:58,888
continue to get better
and try to peak at the right time.

339
00:19:00,181 --> 00:19:02,559
[Jeremiah] That experience to me was,
you know, it was pretty rough.

340
00:19:02,642 --> 00:19:04,519
I didn’t really produce that much,

341
00:19:04,602 --> 00:19:06,563
so I feel like it was pointless
for me being out there.

342
00:19:07,272 --> 00:19:10,275
I could have been easily been like,
“Okay, I’m not gonna play,” you know?

343
00:19:11,109 --> 00:19:13,152
Make sure I keep my numbers
the same and stuff like that,

344
00:19:13,236 --> 00:19:15,738
but just me being
the competitive way that I am,

345
00:19:16,406 --> 00:19:18,157
if I feel like I can get out there,
I'mma try.

346
00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:20,034
I'mma try my best to get out there.

347
00:19:31,796 --> 00:19:36,009
[Pete] So I want to show you something,
right? So you got Howard Houses here.

348
00:19:38,887 --> 00:19:40,805
To our right is Brownsville Houses.

349
00:19:41,472 --> 00:19:45,852
And to our left is where I grew up,
is Riverdale Houses.

350
00:19:48,730 --> 00:19:51,065
Some dangerous stuff
happened on these blocks.

351
00:19:52,817 --> 00:19:57,071
You don't realize the toll that this
takes when you see this every day.

352
00:19:57,155 --> 00:20:01,117
You then start to get a certain outlook
on what you think life is supposed to be.

353
00:20:01,951 --> 00:20:03,953
And you want to do
a lot of different things.

354
00:20:04,037 --> 00:20:07,999
But you don't feel like
you have the power to do so.

355
00:20:08,082 --> 00:20:09,834
So then you kind of conform.

356
00:20:13,588 --> 00:20:16,007
Basketball taught me so much about life

357
00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:22,096
that I ain’t necessarily get at home
or necessarily get at school.

358
00:20:23,056 --> 00:20:27,852
Sometimes it's tough. Sometimes it's hard.
Sometimes you're ready to give up.

359
00:20:27,936 --> 00:20:31,314
And you just got to try
to find a way to push through.

360
00:20:33,816 --> 00:20:36,986
Right, basketball was just a tool
to get out of here.

361
00:20:37,070 --> 00:20:38,780
Otherwise, I wouldn't have.

362
00:20:39,864 --> 00:20:43,368
If I could grant these kids
the same opportunity, right,

363
00:20:43,451 --> 00:20:47,914
give them a head start in life,
I've done my job.

364
00:20:51,334 --> 00:20:53,711
Damn, they got their coats on,
it must be real out here.

365
00:20:53,795 --> 00:20:58,049
Dang, it’s like the blizzard is out.
My man got the Pooh Shiesty.

366
00:20:58,132 --> 00:21:00,718
- They got the blizzard out.
- [man] It's cold. It's cold. It’s cold.

367
00:21:00,802 --> 00:21:05,515
- It’s cold? Oh! [laughs]
- [Dellquan] Everybody got their coat on.

368
00:21:07,183 --> 00:21:09,268
[Pete] You're good.
What do you want? What you want?

369
00:21:09,352 --> 00:21:10,853
[Dellquan]
Can I get a chopped cheese, bro?

370
00:21:10,937 --> 00:21:12,647
- Okay.
- [Dellquan] I don’t want nothing on it,

371
00:21:12,730 --> 00:21:16,067
- just... meat and cheese.
- [Pete laughs]

372
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,319
[Dellquan]
And mayo and ketchup too. That’s it.

373
00:21:18,820 --> 00:21:23,449
[Pete] You know, coming here, obviously
having that tough upbringing from Erie,

374
00:21:23,533 --> 00:21:26,202
there's a wealth of things
you could achieve here.

375
00:21:26,285 --> 00:21:29,747
It was hard because my mom,
she was young when she had me, so.

376
00:21:30,164 --> 00:21:34,794
It was just hard. We stayed in Section 8.
I had, like, a minor setback for me,

377
00:21:34,877 --> 00:21:37,380
like, my eighth-grade year,
my little brother had passed away,

378
00:21:37,463 --> 00:21:38,798
so that was kind of bad.

379
00:21:38,881 --> 00:21:41,843
So you would say sports kept your mind
off trouble when you was out there.

380
00:21:41,926 --> 00:21:45,221
It's really...
sports or the streets, to be honest.

381
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:48,224
So sports is my safe haven, to be honest.

382
00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:51,102
That's why I always tell you
to make sure every chance you get,

383
00:21:51,185 --> 00:21:57,316
you speak, you say Erie, you celebrate it,
because there's somebody in Erie, right,

384
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,738
there's a dude just grew up
like Dellquan that, he needs to hear this.

385
00:22:01,821 --> 00:22:02,822
You know what I'm saying?

386
00:22:02,905 --> 00:22:04,991
He needs to know that he got
some hope and ways to get out.

387
00:22:05,074 --> 00:22:06,325
- [Dellquan] Right.
- You know?

388
00:22:06,409 --> 00:22:10,955
[Pete] Dellquan is amazing off the court.
He's really mild-mannered.

389
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:13,458
I mean, he's really a good, cool kid,

390
00:22:13,541 --> 00:22:16,252
but Dellquan is going through
his internal issues.

391
00:22:16,335 --> 00:22:18,463
He had a practice where he was very vocal,

392
00:22:18,546 --> 00:22:20,923
and some of the vocal things
that he was saying was negative.

393
00:22:21,007 --> 00:22:23,217
And I explained to him, like,

394
00:22:23,301 --> 00:22:26,763
“When you are screaming sometimes,
like, are you trying to be mean?”

395
00:22:26,846 --> 00:22:30,475
He's like, “No, I just want
to compete, and I want to win.”

396
00:22:30,892 --> 00:22:33,352
You know, it's Dell
having a fight with himself

397
00:22:33,436 --> 00:22:35,813
because he has an expectation of himself.

398
00:22:35,897 --> 00:22:40,193
I wanted you to know, here, as you
develop, I ain't gonna give up on you.

399
00:22:40,276 --> 00:22:42,278
- Mm-hm.
- [Pete] We gonna have tough times,

400
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:44,405
- it's inevitable!
- Right. [laughs]

401
00:22:44,489 --> 00:22:46,824
[Pete] But one thing,
I'm never gonna give up on you.

402
00:22:46,908 --> 00:22:50,244
- [Dellquan] Mm-hm.
- Like, I don't care what you think, right?

403
00:22:50,328 --> 00:22:52,955
Erie, they forgot about you,
you was overlooked.

404
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:57,460
Here? You are extremely
important to our success.

405
00:22:57,543 --> 00:22:59,587
- Now, we gotta rock and roll, baby.
- Bring it in.

406
00:22:59,670 --> 00:23:01,172
- [Pete] We gotta rock and roll.
- [laughs]

407
00:23:01,255 --> 00:23:03,382
[Pete] You know what I'm saying?
Let's get to eatin', though.

408
00:23:04,175 --> 00:23:05,134
Hello.

409
00:23:07,345 --> 00:23:08,679
[upbeat music]

410
00:23:15,394 --> 00:23:18,356
[Somto] We're going to the gym right now.
Even though I'm not playing,

411
00:23:18,439 --> 00:23:21,818
I still got to stay in shape, man.
Because you never know when I'll get back.

412
00:23:22,568 --> 00:23:25,780
And I want to be in better shape
than I was before I got hurt.

413
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,452
I've seen so many games
that were really close and my team lost.

414
00:23:31,536 --> 00:23:35,456
And I 100% believe that
if I played that game, we would've won.

415
00:23:35,998 --> 00:23:38,751
My host mom Lisa
helped me see the bright side of it.

416
00:23:38,835 --> 00:23:43,506
I finally had to accept it for what it is
and figure out what's the next step.

417
00:23:45,758 --> 00:23:50,054
But I’m saying, bro, hey. When it comes
to being a big man, back the fuck up.

418
00:23:50,138 --> 00:23:52,557
- [Somto laughs]
- [laughs] I’m a better big man than you!

419
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,558
Get your shoes on!

420
00:23:53,641 --> 00:23:54,934
[Damien] You don’t want that, bro.

421
00:23:55,017 --> 00:23:57,061
- [Somto] I want, I beat...
- You gotta work to get back healthy.

422
00:23:57,145 --> 00:23:59,897
I beat you first, you know that?
I beat you one-on-one. Come on now!

423
00:24:01,274 --> 00:24:06,445
I realized basketball keeps you sane.
I feel like it’s therapy to me, man.

424
00:24:07,155 --> 00:24:11,367
I started watching all the games
I would have played, put on headphones,

425
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:13,202
crank the volume all the way up,

426
00:24:13,286 --> 00:24:15,413
and close my eyes
to feel like I'm playing.

427
00:24:17,415 --> 00:24:18,791
It was a point of realization.

428
00:24:18,875 --> 00:24:21,377
I didn't do enough,
okay, I will get better.

429
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,173
- [trainer 1] Dropping that basketball.
- Take this shit off.

430
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:30,678
It’s just like you, this is your job,
you know, with cameras and stuff.

431
00:24:30,761 --> 00:24:32,972
This is my life.

432
00:24:33,055 --> 00:24:36,809
Good, good hold.
Yep, get out. Ball. There's one.

433
00:24:36,893 --> 00:24:40,271
C’mon. Pick these up a little bit.
Three. Good. Right there.

434
00:24:40,897 --> 00:24:43,858
- Yeah, good. Good.
- [trainer 1] Game him. Game him.

435
00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:47,069
- Shit, you're already tired.
- [trainer 2] Get your body set.

436
00:24:47,153 --> 00:24:48,905
Don't let me see you tired. Good.

437
00:24:50,448 --> 00:24:52,909
[Somto] I was getting ready to get back
on the court with my teammates

438
00:24:52,992 --> 00:24:56,245
because I think that was
the longest two months of my life.

439
00:25:04,128 --> 00:25:08,758
[Savannah] "Marcus' call was scheduled
for Monday afternoon,

440
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:13,095
so it was all I could think about
while I ordered these cakes.

441
00:25:13,179 --> 00:25:15,556
I couldn't wait
for the morning to be over."

442
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:16,682
[Lindsay]
Daddy's home.

443
00:25:18,893 --> 00:25:20,186
- Hi, Dad!
- [Lindsay] Hey.

444
00:25:20,269 --> 00:25:24,106
[Pete] Hey, beautiful. How are you doing?
How did she do with the book report?

445
00:25:24,190 --> 00:25:29,070
- I'm only on chapter 22 now.
- [Lindsay] Right, 22.

446
00:25:29,153 --> 00:25:31,322
- Only? 22 chapters is good.
- Yeah.

447
00:25:31,405 --> 00:25:34,200
- Yeah, but there are 36 chapters!
- [Lindsay] It's got 36 chapters,

448
00:25:34,283 --> 00:25:36,327
and the book report is due like on Friday.

449
00:25:36,410 --> 00:25:38,037
- [Pete] Oh.
- [laughs]

450
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:42,458
- We inchin’ closer though.
- We got some work to do, right?

451
00:25:42,541 --> 00:25:43,459
Yeah.

452
00:25:43,542 --> 00:25:46,712
You know about this Thursday,
I head back to Atlanta, unfortunately--

453
00:25:46,796 --> 00:25:49,257
- When do you come back?
- I'll be back on Sunday.

454
00:25:49,966 --> 00:25:51,968
Will we come with you the next, next time?

455
00:25:52,051 --> 00:25:54,053
- [Lindsay] Nope.
- Next, next, next, next time?

456
00:25:54,136 --> 00:25:56,764
No. We don't get to go
on any of the trips this time.

457
00:25:57,723 --> 00:25:58,975
Schedule just doesn't permit.

458
00:26:01,269 --> 00:26:05,314
I know I fall short a lot of the times,
and I appreciate both of your patience,

459
00:26:05,398 --> 00:26:08,985
‘cause I know it's been tough,
and it's been a lot of long hours.

460
00:26:09,068 --> 00:26:11,028
[Savannah]
On the weekday, when you're here,

461
00:26:11,112 --> 00:26:16,575
you know, sometimes you're working
and you come home late when I'm sleeping,

462
00:26:16,659 --> 00:26:22,039
and when you say, sometimes, when you're
going to be home like eight, or nine,

463
00:26:22,123 --> 00:26:25,876
you don't end up coming
until like ten or 11 sometimes, you know?

464
00:26:26,627 --> 00:26:31,590
And sometimes I try to wait for you
to get home, and I just stay up.

465
00:26:31,674 --> 00:26:32,717
Tsk.

466
00:26:35,052 --> 00:26:36,470
[Lindsay]
Often people will think,

467
00:26:36,554 --> 00:26:38,597
"Oh, it's just the team
that's making the sacrifice,"

468
00:26:38,681 --> 00:26:40,558
or "It's just the coach
that's making the sacrifice."

469
00:26:40,641 --> 00:26:44,270
But, like, on the other side of that,
we're eating dinner just the two of us,

470
00:26:44,353 --> 00:26:49,734
or, you know, I'm taking the brunt of all
of the stress of whatever has to come

471
00:26:49,817 --> 00:26:51,068
with, you know, parenting.

472
00:26:52,486 --> 00:26:57,408
I think the toughest part for me
is because I got to do the work. Right?

473
00:26:57,491 --> 00:27:02,079
But the thing I can't really handle
is that look on my daughter's face

474
00:27:03,372 --> 00:27:07,543
or that look on my wife's face,
to say that I ain't think about them,

475
00:27:07,626 --> 00:27:12,298
and I look past them.
That's the toughest one for me.

476
00:27:13,049 --> 00:27:16,969
It is the utmost important
to make this dream a reality.

477
00:27:17,053 --> 00:27:20,348
It's almost like it gotta,
it gotta work, we gotta win.

478
00:27:20,931 --> 00:27:24,352
I mean, this championship
will be everything. We need it.

479
00:27:24,435 --> 00:27:25,936
Well, you're gonna get it.

480
00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:30,232
My prediction is that it's gonna be
Jelly Fam against the City Reapers,

481
00:27:30,316 --> 00:27:32,651
and that Jelly Fam is gonna win,

482
00:27:32,735 --> 00:27:35,237
and Dellquan Warren
is gonna make the winning shot.

483
00:27:35,321 --> 00:27:40,242
All right? That's my prediction, baby.
[laughs]

484
00:27:43,204 --> 00:27:45,790
- [indistinct shouts]
- [shoes squeaking]

485
00:27:45,873 --> 00:27:48,125
[announcer]
The clock is ticking down.

486
00:27:48,709 --> 00:27:50,544
Elijah for three!

487
00:27:50,628 --> 00:27:52,380
- [buzzer sounds]
- [announcer] No good.

488
00:27:53,130 --> 00:27:56,467
And it's a one-point game
headed to the half.

489
00:27:56,550 --> 00:27:59,845
[Pete] Fellas, right now,
it’s our effort to take over the game.

490
00:28:00,679 --> 00:28:01,847
That’s exactly what it is.

491
00:28:03,349 --> 00:28:06,352
So now, if we wanna take the game over,
we can do it!

492
00:28:07,353 --> 00:28:10,314
But we are not sitting down playing D,
it seems like our mind is somewhere else.

493
00:28:12,358 --> 00:28:13,192
Help me!

494
00:28:14,276 --> 00:28:18,489
Let’s go, Chop. Let’s go.
Dell, come on, I need you, baby, you good?

495
00:28:19,281 --> 00:28:21,075
- Four-minute intervals, kid.
- [Ian] All right.

496
00:28:21,158 --> 00:28:24,036
[Pete] You know what I mean?
Nah, it’s Dell I gotta talk to.

497
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:25,955
[Pete] Yo, you understand
I gave you an early breather

498
00:28:26,038 --> 00:28:27,039
because I'mma play you heavy

499
00:28:27,123 --> 00:28:29,083
- the second half?
- No, I know.

500
00:28:30,418 --> 00:28:32,962
[announcer 1]
Welcome back to second half action.

501
00:28:33,045 --> 00:28:35,673
We are locked into a tight one right now.

502
00:28:35,756 --> 00:28:38,426
- [crowd cheers]
- [announcer 2] Oh, pretty finish.

503
00:28:38,509 --> 00:28:39,927
[cheering]

504
00:28:40,010 --> 00:28:41,387
[announcer 1]
If you’re just joining us,

505
00:28:41,470 --> 00:28:44,849
Dellquan Warren has been
going off tonight.

506
00:28:44,932 --> 00:28:47,101
And Jelly Fam needed it.

507
00:28:47,184 --> 00:28:50,229
North Carolina commit Ian Jackson
is been playing with the flu.

508
00:28:50,312 --> 00:28:51,689
He's very limited.

509
00:28:52,606 --> 00:28:55,484
Warren, mid-range jumper, it goes.

510
00:28:55,568 --> 00:28:57,194
[announcer 2] What a shot.

511
00:28:57,736 --> 00:29:00,281
- [announcer 1] Dellquan off the screen.
- [announcer 2] Oh, my goodness.

512
00:29:00,364 --> 00:29:01,949
- [announcer 1] Behind the back pass.
- [announcer 2] That is a dime.

513
00:29:02,032 --> 00:29:03,909
Might find one of those under the couch.

514
00:29:03,993 --> 00:29:05,286
Yes!

515
00:29:06,287 --> 00:29:09,623
- [Dellquan] Yo!
- [player indistinct chatter]

516
00:29:09,707 --> 00:29:11,876
[announcer 1]
Passmore to the rim, spin move.

517
00:29:11,959 --> 00:29:13,627
- [whistle blows]
- And one!

518
00:29:13,711 --> 00:29:15,087
[announcer 2] That was insane.

519
00:29:15,171 --> 00:29:16,380
[Dellquan]
What the fuck?

520
00:29:16,464 --> 00:29:19,258
[announcer 1] Dellquan, clearly not happy
with that foul.

521
00:29:20,384 --> 00:29:21,927
- [Pete] Thank you.
- Yo!

522
00:29:22,386 --> 00:29:25,556
- [announcer 1] Dellquan, three ball.
- [Dellquan] Aw, fuck!

523
00:29:25,639 --> 00:29:27,516
[announcer 1] And it won't go.

524
00:29:29,894 --> 00:29:32,563
We have a shootout here in Atlanta.

525
00:29:34,982 --> 00:29:37,902
OSL! OSL!

526
00:29:38,944 --> 00:29:42,364
[announcer 1] Warren drives baseline.
Loses it.

527
00:29:42,448 --> 00:29:44,700
- And it's a foul on Jelly Fam.
- [Dellquan] Ref!

528
00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:46,744
No! We don't talk to them!

529
00:29:46,827 --> 00:29:48,537
[Dellquan]
Bro, they're not calling’ shit, bro.

530
00:29:48,621 --> 00:29:50,831
They never do!
What do you want now?

531
00:29:50,915 --> 00:29:53,501
Dell, what do you want now?
Don't revert back.

532
00:29:53,584 --> 00:29:56,003
[Dellquan] Yo, ref,
call the same thing down here.

533
00:29:56,086 --> 00:29:59,632
[Pete] Everybody sit down, now! Sit down.
Everybody sit down.

534
00:29:59,715 --> 00:30:02,551
- [Dellquan] Grabbed my whole fucking arm!
- [Pete] It don't matter! It don't matter!

535
00:30:02,635 --> 00:30:08,140
Everybody look at me. Yo, yo.
Yo, not now! Not now! Not fucking now.

536
00:30:08,224 --> 00:30:09,725
[Dellquan]
What you mean? I'm not doing shit.

537
00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:12,061
[Pete] Yes, you are. Let me tell you
what you are doing. I keep telling you.

538
00:30:12,144 --> 00:30:16,440
You matter and you are important.
Your energy matters. Your energy matters.

539
00:30:16,524 --> 00:30:17,900
[Dellquan]
Fuck it, bro.

540
00:30:18,526 --> 00:30:21,111
[Pete] Yo. A’ight, screw it.
Sub him. Fuck it.

541
00:30:21,195 --> 00:30:24,532
You want to be on that shit? Sub him, yo.
Let's go. Yo, let's go, yo.

542
00:30:24,615 --> 00:30:27,284
Yo, listen. I ain't with it!
I ain't with it!

543
00:30:27,368 --> 00:30:28,577
[Dellquan] I don't give a fuck.

544
00:30:28,661 --> 00:30:30,246
- We're going to lock in, I ain't with it.
- What the fuck?

545
00:30:30,329 --> 00:30:32,998
[Pete] I need y'all to know. We don't
talk to the ref. We don't need help.

546
00:30:33,582 --> 00:30:35,543
I need everybody to understand me!
This is ours.

547
00:30:35,626 --> 00:30:36,627
I don't give a fuck either.

548
00:30:36,710 --> 00:30:39,129
Let's take it back
on this little ass lead. Defense on three.

549
00:30:39,213 --> 00:30:40,631
[player] Defense on three.
One, two, three.

550
00:30:40,714 --> 00:30:41,757
[team]
Defense!

551
00:30:43,467 --> 00:30:46,428
- [Pete] Come on, dude. I ride for you!
- [whistle blows]

552
00:30:46,512 --> 00:30:51,350
[Pete] I don't feel that I benched
Dellquan. Dellquan benched himself.

553
00:30:54,103 --> 00:30:56,564
This is not about you in the moment.

554
00:30:58,566 --> 00:31:02,695
So you have to sacrifice sometimes
how you feel for the team.

555
00:31:03,404 --> 00:31:06,407
[announcer 2] The Blue Checks
extend the lead by nine.

556
00:31:06,490 --> 00:31:08,576
[Pete] That is what a leader is.

557
00:31:08,659 --> 00:31:13,414
And whether he likes it or not,
he is a leader.

558
00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:17,876
And that may not have
been his life prior to this.

559
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,754
But now, this is your situation.

560
00:31:21,505 --> 00:31:24,091
[Dellquan] He took me out, bro,
because I talked to the refs, bro.

561
00:31:24,174 --> 00:31:25,926
[Pastor G] It’s okay.
Don’t worry about that shit, it’s over.

562
00:31:26,010 --> 00:31:27,720
- That shit is over, move past it.
- Nah, bro.

563
00:31:27,803 --> 00:31:28,887
Go tell him you’re ready.

564
00:31:28,971 --> 00:31:30,472
We need you.
Yo, we need you!

565
00:31:30,556 --> 00:31:32,016
Captain’s fuckin’ sick,
he needs you out there,

566
00:31:32,099 --> 00:31:33,350
we got to play 12, we need you.

567
00:31:33,434 --> 00:31:34,435
Come on.

568
00:31:36,395 --> 00:31:38,856
[announcer 1]
Jelly Fam just looks lost out there,

569
00:31:38,939 --> 00:31:40,941
[announcer 2] Coach Pete needs to work
his magic right now.

570
00:31:41,025 --> 00:31:42,026
[Pete]
Yo, listen.

571
00:31:42,109 --> 00:31:44,653
If you keep worrying about how
you're playing, then you bein’ selfish.

572
00:31:45,654 --> 00:31:48,949
It's about the win. It's about the group.
Everybody got me?

573
00:31:49,575 --> 00:31:51,285
Yo, fellas, let's lock in.

574
00:31:52,745 --> 00:31:54,788
[announcer 1]
Mid-range jumper, won’t go.

575
00:31:54,872 --> 00:31:55,998
[announcer 2] There we go.

576
00:31:56,081 --> 00:31:57,625
[announcer 1]
Jelly Fam with some great defense.

577
00:31:57,708 --> 00:32:00,377
[announcer 2] Nice pass. Oh, wow.

578
00:32:01,253 --> 00:32:04,006
[Pete] Yo, listen. Whoever wanna trust me,
you gonna see what’s gonna happen.

579
00:32:04,089 --> 00:32:05,549
So, you see, whoever gonna trust me.

580
00:32:05,633 --> 00:32:06,842
I trust everybody.

581
00:32:07,343 --> 00:32:09,011
It's the craziest shit in the world.

582
00:32:11,347 --> 00:32:13,974
[announcer 1] Great ball movement
by Jelly Fam.

583
00:32:14,058 --> 00:32:16,977
Open man, three ball, and it's good.

584
00:32:17,061 --> 00:32:18,228
- Boom!
- Jelly Fam!

585
00:32:18,312 --> 00:32:19,938
[announcer 2] They needed that shot.

586
00:32:20,022 --> 00:32:23,442
[announcer 1] We've got a seven-point game
with four minutes remaining.

587
00:32:23,525 --> 00:32:24,902
Anything can happen.

588
00:32:25,903 --> 00:32:26,945
[Ian] Right there!

589
00:32:27,029 --> 00:32:28,572
[announcer 1] Ian Jackson, to the lane.

590
00:32:28,656 --> 00:32:30,658
- And one!
- [announcer 1] Count it!

591
00:32:30,741 --> 00:32:36,163
What I tell you? Every fucking--
I don't get it. I don't get it.

592
00:32:36,246 --> 00:32:38,874
[announcer 1] Jelly Fam can take the lead
on this possession.

593
00:32:38,957 --> 00:32:41,126
Has a man, wide open, count it!

594
00:32:41,210 --> 00:32:46,507
- [announcer 2] Big shot!
- Ooh! Defense! Defense!

595
00:32:51,428 --> 00:32:54,807
[Pete]
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

596
00:32:54,890 --> 00:32:57,559
[announcer 1]
Moore in the corner. And it goes!

597
00:33:01,021 --> 00:33:07,361
An absolutely incredible 23-4 run,
Jelly Fam wins 79-72.

598
00:33:07,444 --> 00:33:10,197
And move onto a five-game winning streak.

599
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,283
Incredible performance by Coach Pete.

600
00:33:13,367 --> 00:33:15,744
[announcer 2] That's what I saw,
some great coaching down the stretch.

601
00:33:15,828 --> 00:33:17,788
He made the adjustments necessary, man.

602
00:33:17,871 --> 00:33:19,540
[Pete]
I'm about the law of attractions.

603
00:33:19,623 --> 00:33:21,709
If you do positive things,
positive things happen.

604
00:33:21,792 --> 00:33:24,420
So, right now, I want
to focus on our perseverance.

605
00:33:24,503 --> 00:33:28,173
Today, man, we had guys
who wanted to try to fight the system.

606
00:33:28,716 --> 00:33:32,761
And the crazy part is that sometimes
when you fight the system, right,

607
00:33:32,845 --> 00:33:34,430
you see what happens.

608
00:33:34,513 --> 00:33:37,850
The system is set for you.
I am here for you.

609
00:33:38,350 --> 00:33:40,894
Like I keep telling you,
the ones that love you the most,

610
00:33:41,562 --> 00:33:43,647
they get the ugliest all the time.

611
00:33:44,690 --> 00:33:45,858
I know how y'all feel.

612
00:33:46,775 --> 00:33:51,113
So, I'm trying to guide, regardless of
how you're feeling. Everybody got me?

613
00:33:51,697 --> 00:33:55,659
- One, two, three!
- [all] Jelly! [cheers]

614
00:33:57,119 --> 00:33:58,454
[upbeat music]
