1
00:00:08,132 --> 00:00:10,760
- Are you joking?
- Oh, what the fuck?
2
00:00:12,136 --> 00:00:13,846
I thought we were
supposed to be the cover.
3
00:00:13,846 --> 00:00:16,599
Halftime here as the boys in Forum Blue
4
00:00:16,599 --> 00:00:18,184
{\an8}close out their exhibition season,
racking up
5
00:00:18,184 --> 00:00:20,603
{\an8}a 28-point lead against
the newly minted champs.
6
00:00:20,603 --> 00:00:22,730
Now, don't buy stock just yet, though.
7
00:00:22,730 --> 00:00:24,440
That score can be deceiving.
8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,401
These Celtics have yet to play
a single member of their starting five...
9
00:00:27,401 --> 00:00:29,904
- Hey, Kareem.
- What's that, Lon?
10
00:00:29,904 --> 00:00:31,530
-"Sports Illustrated"?
- Yeah.
11
00:00:31,530 --> 00:00:33,491
- What the fuck is this, Lon?
- I know, I know.
12
00:00:33,491 --> 00:00:35,659
How about that score, huh?
13
00:00:35,659 --> 00:00:37,453
These guys struggle with
The System all through camp,
14
00:00:37,453 --> 00:00:38,996
but then you get it on the floor...
15
00:00:38,996 --> 00:00:40,122
It is a symphony.
16
00:00:40,122 --> 00:00:42,208
It's an exhibition against their bench.
17
00:00:42,208 --> 00:00:44,043
Paul, we're running the guys ragged.
18
00:00:44,043 --> 00:00:45,044
Why not give our subs a look?
19
00:00:45,044 --> 00:00:47,880
We still need to decide
who fills out that last roster spot.
20
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,965
We did that already. Mikey?
21
00:00:51,175 --> 00:00:52,968
Oh, no, you cutting Rambis?
22
00:00:52,968 --> 00:00:55,846
- Yeah, his numbers are subpar.
- He's not a numbers guy.
23
00:00:55,846 --> 00:00:58,974
He's effort.
That's the kind of shit that wins games.
24
00:00:59,850 --> 00:01:01,060
Ooh! Our issue!
25
00:01:02,394 --> 00:01:04,063
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
26
00:01:04,063 --> 00:01:06,941
Oh, my. Would you look at that?
27
00:01:06,941 --> 00:01:09,735
"What are Norm Nixon, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
28
00:01:09,735 --> 00:01:12,863
"Jamaal Wilkes, and Magic Johnson
doing in a classroom
29
00:01:12,863 --> 00:01:14,698
with Laker coach Paul Westhead?"
30
00:01:15,574 --> 00:01:16,909
Good fuckin' question.
31
00:01:17,493 --> 00:01:18,911
"Hitting the blackboards."
32
00:01:22,039 --> 00:01:24,583
- Do you get it?
- Is that a joke?
33
00:01:24,583 --> 00:01:26,877
- You're kiddin' me.
- Okay.
34
00:01:26,877 --> 00:01:30,005
- This is the dumbest shit I ever seen.
- Teaching basketball?
35
00:01:30,005 --> 00:01:31,924
It bad enough he got us
playing like robots,
36
00:01:31,924 --> 00:01:33,259
running in his damn spot.
37
00:01:33,259 --> 00:01:36,136
Hit your spot! That's not your spot!
38
00:01:36,136 --> 00:01:37,972
Where's your spot? Not there!
39
00:01:37,972 --> 00:01:40,307
I'll put a spot in that motherfucker eye
he keep yelling at me.
40
00:01:40,307 --> 00:01:43,894
Hey, maybe put your picture on the floor,
you'll remember where to go.
41
00:01:43,894 --> 00:01:46,021
But we can't go criticize
this man right now.
42
00:01:46,021 --> 00:01:47,606
Say right here he a genius.
43
00:01:47,606 --> 00:01:49,525
He don't know shit about basketball.
44
00:01:49,525 --> 00:01:51,360
In his mind,
this shit a science experiment.
45
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,611
Try telling that to Buss.
46
00:01:52,611 --> 00:01:54,321
He paying that man a million dollars.
47
00:01:54,321 --> 00:01:55,948
We can always send
the Great White Hope in there
48
00:01:55,948 --> 00:01:57,950
to talk to him for us.
Hey, Kupchak!
49
00:01:57,950 --> 00:01:59,201
Go do some of that cracker talk.
50
00:01:59,201 --> 00:02:02,121
If I'm the cracker,
then you're the cheese.
51
00:02:02,121 --> 00:02:04,331
I don't know why I'm not in this picture.
52
00:02:04,331 --> 00:02:06,750
I've been white on this team longer
than you, Mitch.
53
00:02:06,750 --> 00:02:07,918
Landsberger, sit your ass down.
54
00:02:08,961 --> 00:02:10,546
Here, gimme a look of that.
55
00:02:10,546 --> 00:02:11,714
Oh, fuck, Bill! You see this?
56
00:02:13,424 --> 00:02:15,301
Yeah. Publicity.
57
00:02:15,301 --> 00:02:18,846
Fuckin' telling the whole fuckin' world
our captain's a fuckin' douchebag.
58
00:02:18,846 --> 00:02:21,265
- Jerry...
- Oh, hey! There he is.
59
00:02:21,265 --> 00:02:23,225
- Mr. Matinee Idol.
- How's it going, Jerry?
60
00:02:23,225 --> 00:02:24,727
How you doin'? Congratulations.
61
00:02:24,727 --> 00:02:26,812
Yeah, thank you.
I thought your office was upstairs.
62
00:02:26,812 --> 00:02:29,356
Jerry, come on. Paul. We just...
63
00:02:29,356 --> 00:02:31,942
We just stopped by to pick up
the final roster.
64
00:02:31,942 --> 00:02:34,612
- Mikey's got it all figured out.
- Good! Who's gettin' the axe, huh?
65
00:02:34,612 --> 00:02:37,323
Probably that long-haired
hippie motherfucker, Rambis.
66
00:02:37,323 --> 00:02:39,742
We should've axed him
the first fuckin' week.
67
00:02:39,742 --> 00:02:41,076
He's a good player.
68
00:02:41,076 --> 00:02:42,494
Can I see that for one second?
69
00:02:42,494 --> 00:02:44,413
Thank you. Excuse me, sorry.
70
00:02:47,333 --> 00:02:49,043
There we go.
71
00:02:49,043 --> 00:02:50,920
Next champions.
72
00:02:52,338 --> 00:02:53,797
Well, we'll start engraving the trophies.
73
00:02:53,797 --> 00:02:55,215
- Sounds good, Bill.
- Come on, Jerry. Come on.
74
00:02:55,215 --> 00:02:56,342
This is fuckin' first-rate.
75
00:02:56,342 --> 00:02:58,969
- Bye, Jerry.
- Yeah, see you guys.
76
00:02:58,969 --> 00:03:00,763
Let me look at that.
What'd he fuckin' write?
77
00:03:00,763 --> 00:03:02,431
What'd you change?
78
00:03:02,431 --> 00:03:05,184
- Fuckin' the motherfuckin' hippie?!
- Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
79
00:03:05,184 --> 00:03:07,561
- Come on! Get outta here.
- This fuckin'--
80
00:03:07,561 --> 00:03:09,396
God fuckin' damn it!
81
00:03:09,897 --> 00:03:12,441
Congratulations, Pat.
Why don't you go tell him?
82
00:03:13,108 --> 00:03:15,361
Second half, let's go. System.
83
00:03:15,361 --> 00:03:16,695
That means you, Johnson.
84
00:03:18,113 --> 00:03:19,073
Did he just snap at me?
85
00:03:21,492 --> 00:03:23,410
Hey. Rambis.
86
00:03:26,246 --> 00:03:29,249
Congrats. You made the team.
You're a Laker.
87
00:03:32,252 --> 00:03:33,712
Cool. Far out, man.
88
00:03:37,174 --> 00:03:38,550
Ooh! I've been lookin' for one of those.
89
00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:39,969
Let me see that, Kurt.
90
00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:44,139
Oh, damn. Red, you should've
told your guy to smile!
91
00:03:44,139 --> 00:03:45,724
I don't pay my guys to smile.
92
00:03:45,724 --> 00:03:48,143
Unlike you and your fakakta
lifetime contract.
93
00:03:51,647 --> 00:03:52,773
He runs the committee.
94
00:03:53,774 --> 00:03:55,359
Ah, don't worry.
95
00:03:55,359 --> 00:03:57,027
I can't approve it fast enough.
96
00:03:57,027 --> 00:03:59,822
Nothing makes me happier than
watching you piss away your fortune.
97
00:03:59,822 --> 00:04:02,074
You know, you used to be
ahead of the curve, Red,
98
00:04:02,074 --> 00:04:04,284
but now, you're about 10 steps behind.
99
00:04:04,284 --> 00:04:07,705
Listen, I'd explain business to you
but halftime is almost over
100
00:04:07,705 --> 00:04:10,541
and you got enough to worry about
with your team gettin' whooped!
101
00:04:10,541 --> 00:04:12,626
It's pre-season, Buss.
Nobody gives a shit.
102
00:04:13,711 --> 00:04:15,045
No one but you and me!
103
00:04:15,838 --> 00:04:17,923
Wise ass. I'll see ya.
104
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,802
- Come on, fellas.
- Don't be fuckin' dumb.
105
00:04:21,802 --> 00:04:24,179
- It's just a preseason game.
- We're down by 28 points, Coach.
106
00:04:24,179 --> 00:04:25,889
Yeah, and we're not gonna come back.
107
00:04:25,889 --> 00:04:28,267
Fuck you gotta drag me
out here to La La Land
108
00:04:28,267 --> 00:04:30,019
- if you're just gonna sit me?
- Put him in.
109
00:04:30,019 --> 00:04:32,813
- I thought you said--
- Go knock their dicks in the dirt.
110
00:04:32,813 --> 00:04:34,857
- About goddamn time.
- Relax yourself.
111
00:04:34,857 --> 00:04:37,609
- We're gonna have some fun.
- Make up your fucking mind, Red.
112
00:04:38,444 --> 00:04:41,530
Dyan! Heaven can wait, but I can't.
113
00:04:41,530 --> 00:04:43,073
You're lookin' great.
114
00:04:43,073 --> 00:04:44,908
Looking good, Lou!
It's gonna rain?
115
00:04:45,826 --> 00:04:48,412
Guys, look at that. Fantastic, right?
116
00:04:48,412 --> 00:04:50,039
Jack! Nice to see ya.
117
00:04:50,039 --> 00:04:52,333
- Love the variety you got going on here.
- Right?
118
00:04:52,333 --> 00:04:54,251
Exhibition game,
but we got 'em on the run. I'll take it.
119
00:04:54,251 --> 00:04:56,045
A lotta angles, a lotta colors.
120
00:04:57,671 --> 00:04:59,089
- Gimme that.
- The fuck?
121
00:05:02,259 --> 00:05:03,343
Count 'em.
122
00:05:08,932 --> 00:05:11,060
Okay, fellas. Who wants a scoop?
123
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:14,480
How about this for a headline?
124
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,733
"Magic Signs Lifetime
Contract with the Lakers."
125
00:05:19,276 --> 00:05:20,194
What are the terms?
126
00:05:20,194 --> 00:05:21,820
- Lifetime? What does that mean?
- How much? How long?
127
00:05:21,820 --> 00:05:23,822
25 million for 25 years.
128
00:05:27,493 --> 00:05:28,994
Dr. Buss!
129
00:05:28,994 --> 00:05:31,205
Any comment on Magic's new contract?
130
00:05:31,205 --> 00:05:33,540
I told you boys.
Just an extension.
131
00:05:33,540 --> 00:05:37,044
But I hear 25 million for 25 years.
132
00:05:37,044 --> 00:05:39,171
Yeah? Where'd you hear that?
133
00:05:39,171 --> 00:05:42,257
Let's say a little leprechaun
whispered it into my ear.
134
00:05:42,257 --> 00:05:45,886
- League source.
- Yeah, well, no comment.
135
00:05:47,262 --> 00:05:48,305
- What's up, Doc!
- Hey, kid!
136
00:05:48,305 --> 00:05:49,932
Think we can rap after the game?
137
00:05:49,932 --> 00:05:51,767
Oh, yeah, yeah. Sure thing. Sure thing.
138
00:05:51,767 --> 00:05:54,269
Oh, there's Jerry.
You can ask him. Go ahead.
139
00:05:54,269 --> 00:05:55,604
I'll be in the box.
I'll come find you.
140
00:05:55,604 --> 00:05:56,980
- Just be a minute.
- Sure.
141
00:05:56,980 --> 00:05:57,856
- Yeah? Cool.
- Absolutely.
142
00:06:02,986 --> 00:06:05,697
- You think he's really worth it, Dr. Buss?
- Guys, guys, come on!
143
00:06:06,740 --> 00:06:08,158
Halftime's almost over.
144
00:06:11,245 --> 00:06:13,038
We can talk about it after the game!
145
00:06:13,038 --> 00:06:14,957
That makes you
the highest-paid athlete in history!
146
00:06:16,458 --> 00:06:18,127
We gotta start the game again!
Get outta here!
147
00:06:18,127 --> 00:06:20,295
We can talk about it after the game!
After the game!
148
00:06:20,295 --> 00:06:21,672
After the game!
149
00:06:22,965 --> 00:06:24,466
After the game, baby!
150
00:06:35,936 --> 00:06:36,979
{\an8}There it is
151
00:06:39,523 --> 00:06:41,483
{\an8}Yeah, ah, uh
152
00:06:41,483 --> 00:06:42,359
{\an8}Yeah
153
00:06:42,776 --> 00:06:43,569
{\an8}Okay
154
00:06:44,570 --> 00:06:45,863
{\an8}Check it out
155
00:06:45,863 --> 00:06:47,948
{\an8}Death to the pigs is my basic statement
156
00:06:47,948 --> 00:06:50,409
{\an8}I spit street stories
'til I taste the pavement
157
00:06:50,409 --> 00:06:52,786
{\an8}Tryin' to stay out the pen
where we face enslavement
158
00:06:52,786 --> 00:06:54,913
{\an8}Had a foolproof hustle
'til they traced the payments
159
00:06:54,913 --> 00:06:56,999
{\an8}I was grippin' my palm
around some shitty rum
160
00:06:56,999 --> 00:06:59,418
{\an8}Tryin' to find psalm number 151
161
00:06:59,418 --> 00:07:01,587
{\an8}To forget what I'm owed,
as I clutch the commode
162
00:07:01,587 --> 00:07:04,131
{\an8}I read "Put down the bottle
and come get the gun"
163
00:07:04,131 --> 00:07:06,675
{\an8}Let's get off the chain like
Kunta Kinte with a MAC-10
164
00:07:06,675 --> 00:07:08,635
{\an8}They want us gone
like a dollar in a crack den
165
00:07:08,635 --> 00:07:11,013
{\an8}Steadily subtractin' seeds and stems
166
00:07:11,013 --> 00:07:12,598
{\an8}Mind cloudy through the wheeze and phlegm
167
00:07:12,598 --> 00:07:14,892
{\an8}Numbin' my brain off of that
and the Jesus hymns
168
00:07:14,892 --> 00:07:17,352
{\an8}If we waiting for the time
to fight, these is thems
169
00:07:17,352 --> 00:07:19,354
{\an8}Tellin' us to relax while they ease it in
170
00:07:19,354 --> 00:07:20,564
{\an8}We gettin greased again
171
00:07:20,564 --> 00:07:21,648
{\an8}The truth I write is so cold
172
00:07:21,648 --> 00:07:23,150
{\an8}It'd freeze my pen
173
00:07:23,150 --> 00:07:24,735
{\an8}I'm Boots Riley
it's a pleasure to meet you
174
00:07:24,735 --> 00:07:26,987
{\an8}Never let they punk ass ever defeat you
175
00:07:26,987 --> 00:07:29,239
{\an8}They got us on the corner
wearin' pleather and see-thru
176
00:07:29,239 --> 00:07:31,533
{\an8}All y'all's gold mines,
they wanna deplete you
177
00:07:31,533 --> 00:07:34,077
{\an8}I ain't just finna rap on the track,
I finna clap on 'em back
178
00:07:34,077 --> 00:07:35,662
{\an8}And it's been stackin' to that
179
00:07:35,662 --> 00:07:38,123
{\an8}500 years before Iceberg
ever leaned back in the 'lac
180
00:07:38,123 --> 00:07:40,000
{\an8}Before they told Rosa "Black in the back"
181
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,794
{\an8}Before the CIA told Ricky Ross
to put crack in a sack
182
00:07:42,794 --> 00:07:44,546
{\an8}And Gil Scott traded rappin' for smack
183
00:07:44,546 --> 00:07:46,131
{\an8}This beat alone should
get platinum plaques
184
00:07:46,131 --> 00:07:48,467
{\an8}I'd rather see a million
of us ecstatic to scrap
185
00:07:48,467 --> 00:07:50,802
{\an8}'Cause if we bappin' 'em back
we automatically stack
186
00:07:58,477 --> 00:08:01,021
Lansing hero Earvin "Magic" Johnson--
187
00:08:01,021 --> 00:08:04,274
News broke of
Magic Johnson's new epic deal--
188
00:08:04,274 --> 00:08:06,610
Earvin Johnson Jr., the showstopper--
189
00:08:06,944 --> 00:08:09,071
The highest-paid athlete in the world.
190
00:08:09,071 --> 00:08:10,864
How did his teammates take the news?
191
00:08:10,864 --> 00:08:13,700
The normally tight-lipped Kareem
had this to say.
192
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:15,744
A basketball team is like a family.
193
00:08:15,744 --> 00:08:18,538
You pick out any one member and say,
"This is my favorite child,"
194
00:08:18,538 --> 00:08:21,041
it's inevitable that others
will begin to wonder
195
00:08:21,041 --> 00:08:22,918
whether or not they belong.
196
00:08:25,420 --> 00:08:27,172
The only other place
197
00:08:27,172 --> 00:08:29,383
I would consider playing is New York.
198
00:08:29,383 --> 00:08:30,884
I've always felt like the people there
199
00:08:30,884 --> 00:08:33,845
appreciate quality basketball,
and I can provide that.
200
00:08:37,099 --> 00:08:38,016
Fuck 'em.
201
00:08:38,725 --> 00:08:40,143
They don't like it?
202
00:08:41,353 --> 00:08:42,521
Fuck 'em.
203
00:08:43,564 --> 00:08:45,357
Kareem should be happy!
204
00:08:45,357 --> 00:08:46,817
More money for Earvin means more for him!
205
00:08:46,817 --> 00:08:48,568
What if he tries to get it
from another team?
206
00:08:48,568 --> 00:08:50,737
- He's not gonna do that.
- He already fuckin' did!
207
00:08:50,737 --> 00:08:52,406
He ain't talkin' to the press, man!
208
00:08:52,406 --> 00:08:53,740
He's talkin' to the Knicks!
209
00:08:55,701 --> 00:08:57,327
Well, I'll talk to him first.
210
00:08:57,327 --> 00:08:58,662
When am I sitting down
with him at Benihana?
211
00:08:58,662 --> 00:09:00,539
- He rescheduled.
- Oh, fuck.
212
00:09:00,539 --> 00:09:02,499
Hey, he's a busy guy. I'll pin him down.
213
00:09:02,499 --> 00:09:03,959
- You ain't fuckin'--
- No!
214
00:09:05,127 --> 00:09:07,462
It has to be me. Okay?
215
00:09:09,006 --> 00:09:09,881
Who--
216
00:09:09,881 --> 00:09:12,301
I'm his coach,
217
00:09:12,301 --> 00:09:14,594
so I will assure him
218
00:09:14,594 --> 00:09:17,139
that he's still the fulcrum of this team.
219
00:09:17,139 --> 00:09:19,725
- I'll handle that, Paul.
- You can't.
220
00:09:19,725 --> 00:09:21,143
You just told him the opposite.
221
00:09:21,727 --> 00:09:23,812
You just told him
222
00:09:23,812 --> 00:09:25,814
and every other player on my team
223
00:09:25,814 --> 00:09:27,983
that Magic is more important.
224
00:09:30,152 --> 00:09:32,070
I think you mean my team.
225
00:09:33,363 --> 00:09:34,740
Sure.
226
00:09:35,282 --> 00:09:37,034
But I'm the one who has to coach it,
227
00:09:37,034 --> 00:09:39,453
and that's been hard enough as it is.
228
00:09:40,078 --> 00:09:43,123
Look, gentlemen,
none of us want a repeat of last year!
229
00:09:43,123 --> 00:09:45,626
Okay, Magic has been a
230
00:09:48,837 --> 00:09:51,757
struggle since the start of camp.
231
00:09:52,841 --> 00:09:54,843
Resisting his role in The System.
232
00:09:54,843 --> 00:09:56,219
At first, I thought, okay,
233
00:09:56,219 --> 00:09:58,513
this guy's not used to structured play.
Now, I see.
234
00:09:59,056 --> 00:10:02,017
He thinks it's optional.
And you know why?
235
00:10:02,017 --> 00:10:05,354
Because he has a direct line to the king.
236
00:10:07,522 --> 00:10:09,483
You know, Bill, Jerry,
it's getting a little late.
237
00:10:09,483 --> 00:10:11,026
Why don't you hit the road?
238
00:10:11,026 --> 00:10:13,445
- Yeah, yeah, we should get outta here.
- Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna...
239
00:10:13,445 --> 00:10:14,738
Get outta here.
Good night, boss.
240
00:10:20,535 --> 00:10:22,329
You asked for Kupchak.
241
00:10:22,329 --> 00:10:24,039
I gave you Kupchak.
242
00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:25,540
{\an8}You asked for a million dollars.
243
00:10:25,540 --> 00:10:27,292
{\an8}I gave you that.
244
00:10:27,292 --> 00:10:29,795
{\an8}Paul, this is a speed bump.
245
00:10:30,670 --> 00:10:31,838
{\an8}Don't whine to me about it.
246
00:10:31,838 --> 00:10:33,548
Figure it out!
247
00:10:34,633 --> 00:10:36,551
What the fuck else do you need?
248
00:10:37,427 --> 00:10:39,388
Nothing.
249
00:10:39,388 --> 00:10:41,598
But I'd like to be able
to handle my players
250
00:10:42,724 --> 00:10:44,601
without interference.
251
00:10:44,601 --> 00:10:46,603
So, if you can do that for me,
252
00:10:47,896 --> 00:10:50,732
I'll promise you that
I'll bring you another trophy.
253
00:10:50,732 --> 00:10:53,985
Well, Paul, if you don't,
I'm gonna look like a fucking idiot.
254
00:10:55,153 --> 00:10:57,531
{\an8}And you're gonna be looking for a new job.
255
00:11:04,079 --> 00:11:05,997
Sounds like we're in this
together then, huh?
256
00:11:08,875 --> 00:11:10,627
No, Paul. I'm the king!
257
00:11:10,627 --> 00:11:12,546
We're not in it together!
258
00:11:18,718 --> 00:11:21,138
- Hey.
- Hey. Are you okay?
259
00:11:25,058 --> 00:11:26,476
Yeah.
260
00:11:27,561 --> 00:11:29,479
It's just basketball.
261
00:11:31,064 --> 00:11:32,983
It is, you know?
262
00:11:34,568 --> 00:11:35,527
It's just ba--
263
00:11:39,156 --> 00:11:41,658
Flatfoot Sam bought an automobile
264
00:11:41,658 --> 00:11:43,160
No money down, it was a real good deal
265
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,202
Oh, morning.
266
00:11:44,744 --> 00:11:47,914
He didn't wanna wait
to ride around town...
267
00:11:47,914 --> 00:11:50,876
Oh, I took the last one.
Do you wanna split it?
268
00:11:50,876 --> 00:11:53,336
You're always in a jam
269
00:11:55,255 --> 00:11:56,131
Flatfoot Sam...
270
00:11:56,131 --> 00:11:57,632
You want the whole thing?
271
00:11:58,383 --> 00:12:00,927
Oh, come on, Johnny!
You have to talk to me eventually!
272
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,221
Fuck.
273
00:12:03,221 --> 00:12:04,806
You know, an apology works wonders.
274
00:12:04,806 --> 00:12:06,183
Excuse me?
275
00:12:07,809 --> 00:12:10,228
- He's hurting.
- What fucking business is it of yours?
276
00:12:10,228 --> 00:12:12,814
Ooh. Okay. I'm just trying to help.
277
00:12:12,814 --> 00:12:15,233
Yeah. Well, I don't need your help, okay?
278
00:12:15,233 --> 00:12:17,569
Well, your father does, and I do love him.
279
00:12:17,569 --> 00:12:20,530
- Okay, God.
- We're not in competition.
280
00:12:20,530 --> 00:12:22,782
Oh, yeah. Okay. That's good to know.
281
00:12:22,782 --> 00:12:24,451
Thank you for that, Honey!
282
00:12:24,451 --> 00:12:26,786
You're always in a jam
283
00:12:27,579 --> 00:12:30,415
- It's just a contract.
- Contract?
284
00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:33,126
Fuck you think, we stupid?
285
00:12:34,044 --> 00:12:35,962
You part owner of this damn team now.
286
00:12:35,962 --> 00:12:37,923
Ain't like that.
287
00:12:37,923 --> 00:12:39,549
He offered, I said yes.
288
00:12:39,549 --> 00:12:42,344
- Same as any of y'all would.
- I know I would.
289
00:12:42,344 --> 00:12:44,262
Right on!
290
00:12:44,262 --> 00:12:46,473
Look, this could be a good thing.
291
00:12:46,473 --> 00:12:48,725
Speak for yourself, man.
292
00:12:50,268 --> 00:12:52,687
You got your money. Boy.
293
00:12:53,605 --> 00:12:56,066
Won't be happy till
everything else go your way?
294
00:12:56,066 --> 00:12:59,194
- Go run, tell Daddy.
- Man, fuck you.
295
00:12:59,194 --> 00:13:00,904
Ain't enough money
in the contract for that, bruh.
296
00:13:00,904 --> 00:13:03,615
- Norm, just calm down, man.
- Nigga, you calm up!
297
00:13:03,615 --> 00:13:06,284
Stop acting like a bitch!
All you motherfuckers!
298
00:13:06,284 --> 00:13:08,328
What? We supposed to kiss his ass now
299
00:13:08,328 --> 00:13:09,788
just 'cause he struck gold?
300
00:13:10,539 --> 00:13:11,665
Fuck all that!
301
00:13:11,665 --> 00:13:14,334
Y'all put on y'all uniform
the same way he do.
302
00:13:14,334 --> 00:13:16,086
Ain't saying no otherwise.
303
00:13:16,878 --> 00:13:18,296
No.
304
00:13:19,881 --> 00:13:22,384
You got the boss man saying it for you.
305
00:13:22,384 --> 00:13:24,719
I'm just doing business.
Maybe you could learn something.
306
00:13:25,762 --> 00:13:27,305
I'ma talk to Coach.
307
00:13:28,473 --> 00:13:30,100
Straighten everything out.
308
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:34,854
Straighten everything out.
Oh. Y'all hear that?
309
00:13:34,854 --> 00:13:36,731
Big money talk to big money.
310
00:13:37,774 --> 00:13:39,276
Y'all just shut up.
311
00:13:39,276 --> 00:13:42,028
Let Richie Rich here
take care of all our problems.
312
00:13:42,028 --> 00:13:43,405
Just mad it ain't you.
313
00:13:43,405 --> 00:13:45,407
Yeah, whatever, nigga.
314
00:13:47,242 --> 00:13:49,661
I'm telling y'all!
This don't change nothin'!
315
00:13:52,038 --> 00:13:53,123
Gentlemen!
316
00:13:53,873 --> 00:13:55,792
Bring it in. Bring it in. Bring it in.
317
00:13:57,460 --> 00:13:59,921
Good. Gather round.
318
00:14:07,137 --> 00:14:09,264
As Viktor Frankl said,
319
00:14:09,264 --> 00:14:12,517
"What does not kill me makes me stronger."
320
00:14:14,352 --> 00:14:16,771
This is the start of a new season.
321
00:14:17,772 --> 00:14:21,359
And none of us wants it
to end the way last one did.
322
00:14:21,359 --> 00:14:23,987
- Right?
- No. No. Mm-mm.
323
00:14:23,987 --> 00:14:25,488
Okay, great.
324
00:14:26,323 --> 00:14:28,742
I wanna make something clear.
I have been empowered.
325
00:14:30,368 --> 00:14:32,871
I have been empowered to coach this team.
326
00:14:34,539 --> 00:14:37,459
My way.
And that means we run The System.
327
00:14:38,835 --> 00:14:42,255
Every play. Every game. No deviation.
328
00:14:42,255 --> 00:14:45,091
Anyone who has a problem with that
is gonna find a home
329
00:14:45,091 --> 00:14:47,093
next to me on the bench.
330
00:14:49,054 --> 00:14:50,013
Anyone.
331
00:14:54,976 --> 00:14:57,479
Okay. Sound fun?
332
00:14:57,479 --> 00:14:59,522
Let's go out there
and kick some ass, alright?
333
00:14:59,522 --> 00:15:01,816
- Let's go!
- System on three. One, two, three.
334
00:15:01,816 --> 00:15:03,276
- System! Woo!
- Good.
335
00:15:12,202 --> 00:15:13,536
Well, happy Halloween, folks.
336
00:15:13,536 --> 00:15:14,704
Welcome to a new season,
337
00:15:14,704 --> 00:15:16,456
and, hey, let's hope
the Lakers have banished
338
00:15:16,456 --> 00:15:18,249
all the ghosts of last year.
339
00:15:18,249 --> 00:15:21,419
Your Los Angeles Lakers!
340
00:15:22,796 --> 00:15:24,589
- Nixon fighting to get open.
- Ball!
341
00:15:24,589 --> 00:15:27,092
Magic taking his time
at the top of the key, searching.
342
00:15:27,092 --> 00:15:29,219
Boy, the offense is slow tonight.
343
00:15:29,219 --> 00:15:31,054
{\an8}-Westhead urging.
- Let's go! Earvin!
344
00:15:31,054 --> 00:15:33,973
Magic finally with a move to the basket,
but he turns it over.
345
00:15:33,973 --> 00:15:37,102
Fast break the other way
and Malone finishes it over Kareem.
346
00:15:37,102 --> 00:15:39,104
Time out! Time out.
347
00:15:42,273 --> 00:15:44,109
And so much for redemption, folks.
348
00:15:44,109 --> 00:15:47,362
A new year underway
the same way last one ended
349
00:15:47,362 --> 00:15:49,030
with a loss to the Rockets.
350
00:16:05,088 --> 00:16:06,756
Alright, let's go, Norm,
I'm open!
351
00:16:19,477 --> 00:16:20,729
- What was that?
- Earvin!
352
00:16:29,446 --> 00:16:33,450
- It ain't right, Cook.
- Have you just talked to him?
353
00:16:33,450 --> 00:16:35,952
- Man-to-man?
- I tried!
354
00:16:35,952 --> 00:16:37,954
Told him we'd be best when we just goin'.
355
00:16:39,289 --> 00:16:42,500
Not thinkin' all the time,
running no damn spots.
356
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:44,377
Okay, so what did he say to that?
357
00:16:44,377 --> 00:16:46,921
That's not your spot!
Where's your spot?
358
00:16:47,547 --> 00:16:49,841
Not there!
You're nowhere near your spot!
359
00:16:51,134 --> 00:16:53,928
But he ain't out there trying
to make this dumb shit work.
360
00:16:53,928 --> 00:16:56,389
How I'm supposed to run the show
when I gotta stop,
361
00:16:56,389 --> 00:16:59,476
find him, wait for him to throw
some fingers in the air
362
00:16:59,476 --> 00:17:01,603
and then figure out
what the hell them fingers mean?
363
00:17:01,603 --> 00:17:04,314
Ain't no choice but to dump to Kareem!
364
00:17:04,314 --> 00:17:06,441
Rest of us just watching him do his thing.
365
00:17:06,441 --> 00:17:09,611
- Which ain't your thing.
- Hell, no!
366
00:17:10,653 --> 00:17:12,489
Ain't how I got here!
367
00:17:12,489 --> 00:17:14,282
I don't pull this team together,
368
00:17:14,282 --> 00:17:15,533
I'm gonna be outta here by next year.
369
00:17:16,993 --> 00:17:19,913
Heck, you might be off
to New York City, huh?
370
00:17:22,123 --> 00:17:24,250
This franchise disrespected you.
371
00:17:24,250 --> 00:17:26,169
After all that you've given them.
372
00:17:26,169 --> 00:17:28,838
You'd be well within your rights
to hold a grudge.
373
00:17:32,467 --> 00:17:34,677
They have me under contract
for another year.
374
00:17:34,677 --> 00:17:35,804
Until it ends...
375
00:17:37,138 --> 00:17:38,640
I'll be a Laker.
376
00:17:44,854 --> 00:17:47,315
- Team, let's go!
- Feed Kareem in the post.
377
00:17:57,867 --> 00:17:59,702
Ain't the Magic man.
378
00:17:59,702 --> 00:18:01,246
I feels the flow.
379
00:18:01,246 --> 00:18:04,249
Who be hot. Who need a shot.
Where the mismatch.
380
00:18:04,249 --> 00:18:07,377
I feeds off my teammates
and they feeds off of me!
381
00:18:07,377 --> 00:18:09,587
Okay, so what do they say?
382
00:18:10,171 --> 00:18:13,842
We scraping and scratching
to make it deal to deal.
383
00:18:15,468 --> 00:18:17,929
And then you get something like this?
384
00:18:19,222 --> 00:18:21,140
I hate to say it, brother, but
385
00:18:22,767 --> 00:18:24,602
gonna rub some people the wrong way.
386
00:18:24,602 --> 00:18:26,437
Fuck them!
Jealous-ass motherfuckers,
387
00:18:26,437 --> 00:18:28,982
just 'cause they ain't
got the contract I do!
388
00:18:28,982 --> 00:18:31,025
Blame me for some shit
they'd love to have.
389
00:18:31,025 --> 00:18:34,154
Wouldn't any one of 'em say no,
Buss brought it to 'em.
390
00:18:34,154 --> 00:18:35,780
- Come on, Earvin!
- Push up! Let's do it!
391
00:18:46,332 --> 00:18:48,167
Y'all just don't get it, man.
392
00:18:49,252 --> 00:18:51,170
We just don't get it?
393
00:18:52,297 --> 00:18:54,215
Then I guess you the only one that do.
394
00:18:58,553 --> 00:19:00,471
Just wanted a home, Cook.
395
00:19:01,306 --> 00:19:02,891
Now I'm stuck.
396
00:19:02,891 --> 00:19:04,976
- You could talk to Dr. Buss.
- I do that,
397
00:19:04,976 --> 00:19:07,395
I'm boss man's boy,
just how they say I is.
398
00:19:07,395 --> 00:19:08,396
Okay.
399
00:19:08,396 --> 00:19:10,732
You can't have the money,
the power, and the love, Earvin.
400
00:19:17,780 --> 00:19:20,325
I'm supposed to be
gettin' that love from you.
401
00:19:20,325 --> 00:19:22,535
Yeah, yeah, I know.
402
00:19:22,535 --> 00:19:25,413
Just figured I'd try
and see where we was at.
403
00:19:26,331 --> 00:19:28,458
- How's our boy, Virginia?
- Virgil!
404
00:19:29,584 --> 00:19:31,794
Another monster for
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
405
00:19:31,794 --> 00:19:34,255
29 points, 13 boards for the big fella.
406
00:19:34,255 --> 00:19:35,715
But he's the only one.
407
00:19:35,715 --> 00:19:38,885
Magic Johnson still looking lost
in Westhead's offense.
408
00:19:38,885 --> 00:19:41,471
Gone is the boyish enthusiasm
of yesteryear,
409
00:19:41,471 --> 00:19:44,641
replaced by a petulant scowl
as his Lakers fall,
410
00:19:44,641 --> 00:19:46,809
{\an8}and, boy, do they fall hard.
411
00:20:00,949 --> 00:20:03,868
- Good game, Cap.
- That's not what the final score said.
412
00:20:04,535 --> 00:20:06,955
I'm tellin' you,
this System shit ain't working.
413
00:20:08,665 --> 00:20:11,793
You out there killing yourself
and we still losing by 26?
414
00:20:11,793 --> 00:20:13,544
It might help me if other
people played their roles.
415
00:20:15,171 --> 00:20:16,631
You think I ain't trying?
416
00:20:17,340 --> 00:20:19,550
Out there running the same way,
417
00:20:19,550 --> 00:20:20,802
moving to the same spots.
418
00:20:21,719 --> 00:20:24,639
Ain't how we won the whole damn thing
with McKinney, remember?
419
00:20:26,140 --> 00:20:27,850
Of course, I remember.
420
00:20:27,850 --> 00:20:29,477
And I also remember you telling me
421
00:20:29,477 --> 00:20:31,980
that this team could benefit
if I just humbled myself.
422
00:20:33,606 --> 00:20:36,985
Yeah. Shrunk the ego a little bit.
423
00:20:36,985 --> 00:20:38,695
Perhaps it's time
you took the same advice.
424
00:21:02,969 --> 00:21:04,887
I thought you quit.
425
00:21:05,972 --> 00:21:07,473
Wish I could.
426
00:21:08,433 --> 00:21:10,184
Okay. Would you take it easy?
427
00:21:10,184 --> 00:21:11,853
I'm gonna go talk to him, okay?
428
00:21:14,188 --> 00:21:15,440
'Cause that'll work wonders.
429
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,442
I'm sorry. What?
430
00:21:23,990 --> 00:21:25,199
Nothing.
431
00:21:27,994 --> 00:21:30,705
You don't talk, Paul.
You belittle.
432
00:21:30,705 --> 00:21:32,040
Oh, my God. This again, Pat?
433
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,750
You see?
You're doing it to me, right now.
434
00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:35,251
You're doing it.
435
00:21:38,629 --> 00:21:41,007
{\an8}Listen, man. We're at two and four.
436
00:21:41,007 --> 00:21:41,966
{\an8}It ain't gettin' better.
437
00:21:41,966 --> 00:21:43,342
{\an8}It's gettin' worse.
438
00:21:43,342 --> 00:21:44,886
{\an8}Alright, so you want
a compromise from him?
439
00:21:44,886 --> 00:21:46,637
{\an8}How about you meet the guy halfway?
440
00:21:46,637 --> 00:21:48,806
{\an8}- Let him improvise a little.
- No, goddammit, Pat.
441
00:21:48,806 --> 00:21:50,558
{\an8}- It's not The System.
- Let him get a fucking rhythm.
442
00:21:50,558 --> 00:21:52,018
It's not The System.
443
00:21:52,977 --> 00:21:54,228
I understand that you don't get it
444
00:21:54,228 --> 00:21:57,065
but if you compromise
any aspect of The System,
445
00:21:57,065 --> 00:21:58,775
then The System is compromised.
446
00:21:58,775 --> 00:22:00,651
It requires a total buy-in.
447
00:22:00,651 --> 00:22:02,570
That means you, too!
448
00:22:02,570 --> 00:22:05,573
Look, this ship only has one captain,
and that's me!
449
00:22:06,991 --> 00:22:09,619
I understand, yes,
Kareem is also called Captain,
450
00:22:09,619 --> 00:22:11,412
but that's a nickname.
451
00:22:11,412 --> 00:22:13,706
You understand what I'm trying to say?
I'm the fucking boss.
452
00:22:13,706 --> 00:22:15,792
I am in charge,
not Magic fucking Johnson--
453
00:22:20,922 --> 00:22:22,381
Finish.
454
00:22:34,685 --> 00:22:36,604
Just let him stew. Okay?
455
00:22:44,028 --> 00:22:46,405
- Good job, Paul.
- Shut up, Pat.
456
00:22:46,405 --> 00:22:48,407
Just for a fucking second.
457
00:22:49,450 --> 00:22:50,910
- Cooper!
- Yeah.
458
00:22:50,910 --> 00:22:53,121
You're right there. Okay.
459
00:22:53,121 --> 00:22:56,207
Go tell Magic that if he's not
on this bus in five minutes,
460
00:22:56,207 --> 00:22:58,918
- that he can catch a cab home.
- Me?
461
00:22:58,918 --> 00:23:00,670
Yes, you!
Unless you wanna catch one yourself.
462
00:23:00,670 --> 00:23:02,839
- Yes. You.
- Goddammit...
463
00:23:02,839 --> 00:23:03,840
Really?
464
00:23:06,884 --> 00:23:10,638
Ooh, short and sweet
465
00:23:13,266 --> 00:23:17,562
No sense in dragging on past our needs
466
00:23:19,814 --> 00:23:23,317
Let's don't keep it hanging on
467
00:23:25,444 --> 00:23:26,696
{\an8}Earvin!
468
00:23:34,203 --> 00:23:35,788
We are two and fuckin' four!
469
00:23:35,788 --> 00:23:38,082
Come on, boss.
I gotta spell this out for you?
470
00:23:38,082 --> 00:23:39,959
Westhead's lost control of the team.
471
00:23:39,959 --> 00:23:42,587
- The guys don't respect him.
- It's been six games.
472
00:23:42,587 --> 00:23:45,047
That's five fuckin' more
than I needed to see!
473
00:23:45,047 --> 00:23:46,132
Jerry.
474
00:23:46,132 --> 00:23:49,802
Well, I talked to him
and he told me it's a numbers game!
475
00:23:49,802 --> 00:23:52,930
A proven fact,
quicker offense means more makes.
476
00:23:52,930 --> 00:23:56,017
It's not fuckin' algebra, man.
It's fuckin' ball!
477
00:23:56,017 --> 00:23:58,060
He's got Magic so mixed up,
478
00:23:58,060 --> 00:24:00,479
he wouldn't get on the goddamn bus
in San Antonio!
479
00:24:05,067 --> 00:24:07,653
You gotta help us out here, Doc.
480
00:24:07,653 --> 00:24:09,739
Okay, now we built
this fuckin' team to win.
481
00:24:09,739 --> 00:24:11,699
- Okay?
- Alright, I'll talk to him again.
482
00:24:11,699 --> 00:24:13,618
- There's no talking to him.
- No!
483
00:24:13,618 --> 00:24:16,245
Just let us shake the tree,
see who falls out.
484
00:24:16,245 --> 00:24:19,248
Yeah. Just have a fuckin'
little, little rustle around.
485
00:24:20,541 --> 00:24:23,502
Who the fuck is gonna
fall out of a tree, Bill? A coach?
486
00:24:23,502 --> 00:24:28,466
No! No! We're not changing
fucking coaches again mid-season!
487
00:24:28,466 --> 00:24:30,509
Absolutely not, Bill!
488
00:24:30,509 --> 00:24:32,470
Johnson's a fuckin' winner, okay?
489
00:24:32,470 --> 00:24:35,014
And hell, Westhead, even he got lucky.
490
00:24:35,014 --> 00:24:36,933
But things change!
491
00:24:36,933 --> 00:24:40,311
Don't make good decisions bad ones,
because your pride got mixed up in it.
492
00:24:42,188 --> 00:24:43,147
My pride?
493
00:24:44,065 --> 00:24:47,985
My pride has got
jack shit to do with that.
494
00:24:49,028 --> 00:24:52,865
I'm all in because that's what you do
when you believe you have a winner!
495
00:24:52,865 --> 00:24:55,952
And that's what I've done with this team!
I believe in it!
496
00:24:55,952 --> 00:24:59,080
Six games in, firing the coach
is a bad idea, for the record.
497
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,414
Can you imagine if the press even--
498
00:25:00,414 --> 00:25:03,000
The press even hears
one fucking word about this,
499
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,168
and we're toast.
500
00:25:04,168 --> 00:25:05,461
Alright. They won't.
501
00:25:05,461 --> 00:25:06,921
Westhead has no answer.
502
00:25:06,921 --> 00:25:09,173
If I'm Buss, I'd pull the plug.
503
00:25:09,173 --> 00:25:11,050
All I know is they're not
playing Laker basketball.
504
00:25:11,050 --> 00:25:12,927
Where's the razzle-dazzle?
The pop?
505
00:25:14,095 --> 00:25:16,264
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na
506
00:25:17,139 --> 00:25:19,183
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na
507
00:25:19,183 --> 00:25:20,476
Ba-doo
508
00:25:20,476 --> 00:25:22,812
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na...
509
00:25:22,812 --> 00:25:24,105
So then I said to him,
510
00:25:24,105 --> 00:25:26,816
"If it must be done,
best it be done quickly."
511
00:25:26,816 --> 00:25:29,777
I swear to God,
with a straight face, he says,
512
00:25:29,777 --> 00:25:31,028
"So throw it to Kareem?"
513
00:25:31,487 --> 00:25:34,282
Big fucker! Gonna throw it to Kareem!
514
00:25:37,493 --> 00:25:39,245
Shit. What happened?
515
00:25:39,245 --> 00:25:41,205
- Did you get in a car crash?
- No.
516
00:25:41,205 --> 00:25:42,707
Ah, fuck!
517
00:25:42,707 --> 00:25:44,375
It's this fuckin' stress.
518
00:25:44,375 --> 00:25:47,086
He refuses to listen.
He doesn't fucking listen to me.
519
00:25:47,086 --> 00:25:49,630
Won't change or do anything
fucking different!
520
00:25:50,131 --> 00:25:51,382
It's nothing.
521
00:25:51,382 --> 00:25:55,511
You get a chance to look at those
adjustments I suggested?
522
00:25:55,511 --> 00:25:57,805
Uh, no. I have not.
523
00:25:57,805 --> 00:26:00,808
Get a job, sha-na-na-na
524
00:26:00,808 --> 00:26:02,810
I think you're sitting on 'em.
525
00:26:05,730 --> 00:26:07,148
Okay.
526
00:26:07,898 --> 00:26:08,941
Mike?
527
00:26:09,859 --> 00:26:11,319
Sure thing, boss.
528
00:26:14,155 --> 00:26:16,532
- Mike.
- Pat.
529
00:26:22,455 --> 00:26:24,874
- It's a tweak.
- It's a retreat, Pat.
530
00:26:34,133 --> 00:26:35,426
You're gonna get us fired, Paul.
531
00:26:35,426 --> 00:26:37,511
- I have authority from Buss.
- You have authority?
532
00:26:37,511 --> 00:26:40,056
Yeah, he gave Jack a four-year deal, pal.
533
00:26:40,056 --> 00:26:42,892
It's words.
If we keep losing, we're kaput!
534
00:26:42,892 --> 00:26:44,393
I don't care!
535
00:26:45,644 --> 00:26:46,854
I don't care.
536
00:26:55,112 --> 00:26:57,281
Do you have any idea how many times
I've been counted out?
537
00:26:57,281 --> 00:26:58,949
Huh?
538
00:26:58,949 --> 00:27:01,118
I sat the bench in college.
539
00:27:01,118 --> 00:27:04,121
Ramsey only kept me on the team
'cause he needed a towel boy.
540
00:27:05,956 --> 00:27:08,751
Jack only hired me here because
he needed somebody pliable,
541
00:27:08,751 --> 00:27:09,877
"a dilettante."
542
00:27:09,877 --> 00:27:11,253
I know. I know.
543
00:27:12,171 --> 00:27:13,756
I lucked my way to where I'm at.
544
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,258
'Cause West quit.
545
00:27:17,134 --> 00:27:19,303
'Cause Tark's friend
got stuffed into a trunk.
546
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,599
'Cause Jack crashed a bicycle.
547
00:27:25,684 --> 00:27:27,228
'Cause I found you.
548
00:27:29,188 --> 00:27:30,606
And yet, somehow
549
00:27:33,192 --> 00:27:34,610
somehow
550
00:27:36,070 --> 00:27:37,988
I won a championship.
551
00:27:42,535 --> 00:27:44,203
So I will be goddamned
552
00:27:44,203 --> 00:27:47,581
if I'm gonna throw that away
playing somebody else's game!
553
00:27:49,291 --> 00:27:53,003
If I am going to go down,
I will go down my way!
554
00:28:07,518 --> 00:28:10,438
You're just not
leaving us a way out, Paul.
555
00:28:10,438 --> 00:28:13,065
- If things keep going south--
- Do you know what Cortez did
556
00:28:13,065 --> 00:28:14,900
when he made landfall in the New World?
557
00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:16,318
You know what he did?
558
00:28:16,318 --> 00:28:18,529
He saw the Aztec empire ahead.
559
00:28:19,363 --> 00:28:22,741
All its riches,
all its gold, and its army.
560
00:28:22,741 --> 00:28:25,244
A hundred times his own.
You know what he did?
561
00:28:26,245 --> 00:28:28,622
- I know we speak English.
- He burned the ships.
562
00:28:30,624 --> 00:28:33,002
All of them. His own.
563
00:28:33,002 --> 00:28:35,129
The entire fleet. Torched it.
564
00:28:35,129 --> 00:28:37,631
So that his men only had one option.
565
00:28:38,549 --> 00:28:41,260
To forge ahead and conquer.
566
00:28:44,889 --> 00:28:46,265
Laker fans love to see it.
567
00:28:46,265 --> 00:28:48,017
After a rocky start to the season,
568
00:28:48,017 --> 00:28:50,352
three quick wins for the purple and gold.
569
00:28:50,352 --> 00:28:53,564
Excuse me!
Coach Westhead has arrived!
570
00:28:53,564 --> 00:28:55,691
Ho! Ho! Ho!
571
00:28:59,904 --> 00:29:02,656
We got a ways to go, but that's
the good thing about The System.
572
00:29:02,656 --> 00:29:04,158
You can plug anybody in.
573
00:29:04,158 --> 00:29:05,784
He'll pick up on the nuances.
574
00:29:05,784 --> 00:29:08,078
Tonto, jump on it, jump on it, jump on it
575
00:29:13,375 --> 00:29:14,793
Kemosabe, jump on--
576
00:29:18,214 --> 00:29:20,174
Earvin! There he is!
577
00:29:20,174 --> 00:29:22,259
- Dr. Buss.
- I hope you brought your appetite.
578
00:29:22,259 --> 00:29:23,886
We ordered in. Come on.
579
00:29:23,886 --> 00:29:25,888
- I want you to meet Honey.
- Yeah.
580
00:29:26,889 --> 00:29:28,390
- Can we talk for a minute?
- Yeah.
581
00:29:28,390 --> 00:29:30,351
Been sittin' on this thing
for a while now.
582
00:29:30,351 --> 00:29:32,228
Oh, is this about the contract
details getting out?
583
00:29:32,228 --> 00:29:34,647
That wasn't me.
And there's gonna be hell to pay,
584
00:29:34,647 --> 00:29:36,190
so don't sweat it, though.
Don't sweat it.
585
00:29:36,190 --> 00:29:38,025
Nah, nah, nah. Ain't that.
586
00:29:38,025 --> 00:29:40,319
It's the way we been playing.
587
00:29:40,319 --> 00:29:41,946
Ah.
588
00:29:41,946 --> 00:29:45,115
Well, that's not really
my bailiwick, you know?
589
00:29:45,115 --> 00:29:47,243
But you got eyes.
590
00:29:47,243 --> 00:29:49,078
You can see that it ain't
been goin' right, right?
591
00:29:49,078 --> 00:29:50,538
Well, yeah, tough start.
592
00:29:50,538 --> 00:29:53,165
But, you know,
these things take time, so.
593
00:29:53,165 --> 00:29:55,417
Coach telling us exactly where to go
like we don't know.
594
00:29:55,417 --> 00:29:56,627
He the one don't know!
595
00:29:56,627 --> 00:29:58,921
He ain't never played the game.
596
00:29:58,921 --> 00:30:00,839
That's why we dropping games
that we should be winning,
597
00:30:00,839 --> 00:30:03,551
squeaking by teams
that we should be blowing out!
598
00:30:03,551 --> 00:30:05,511
It ain't showtime no more.
599
00:30:05,511 --> 00:30:07,346
So have you talked to Coach about this?
600
00:30:07,346 --> 00:30:09,348
- I tried!
- And?
601
00:30:10,224 --> 00:30:12,142
He wanna do it his way.
602
00:30:14,144 --> 00:30:16,397
I see. Well...
603
00:30:17,481 --> 00:30:18,482
Look, Dr. Buss,
604
00:30:18,482 --> 00:30:20,067
I ain't trying to tell
nobody how to do their job
605
00:30:20,067 --> 00:30:21,777
but you paying me a lot of money,
606
00:30:21,777 --> 00:30:24,196
and we been trying
to make this thing like--
607
00:30:24,196 --> 00:30:25,781
Earvin. Earvin.
608
00:30:25,781 --> 00:30:28,325
You know I want you to be happy, right?
609
00:30:28,325 --> 00:30:30,369
Do you trust me?
610
00:30:30,369 --> 00:30:32,329
Of course. That's why I'm here.
611
00:30:32,329 --> 00:30:34,331
Because, you know, we partners.
612
00:30:34,331 --> 00:30:37,209
Yeah. That's exactly what we are.
613
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,129
In the grand scheme of things.
614
00:30:40,129 --> 00:30:42,631
But, Earvin, Paul's a partner, too.
615
00:30:44,258 --> 00:30:46,427
Look, I pay you a lot of money to play.
616
00:30:46,427 --> 00:30:48,178
I pay him a lot to coach,
617
00:30:48,178 --> 00:30:50,139
and I don't tell either one of you
how to do what you do.
618
00:30:51,098 --> 00:30:53,475
Well, Dr. Buss, I ain't trying
to tell you what to do,
619
00:30:53,475 --> 00:30:55,269
or him what to do.
I ain't trying to be a coach.
620
00:30:55,269 --> 00:30:56,520
I just wanna play--
621
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,063
I think the smart thing to do right now,
622
00:30:58,063 --> 00:30:59,481
is just let this ride out a little bit.
623
00:31:00,107 --> 00:31:02,651
And let's just ride this thing out
for a second, alright?
624
00:31:02,651 --> 00:31:04,445
We'll reevaluate in a couple months.
625
00:31:04,445 --> 00:31:06,405
But you and I'll keep talking.
626
00:31:06,405 --> 00:31:08,782
We'll keep comparing notes.
627
00:31:08,782 --> 00:31:11,201
I wanna hear what you have to say about it
at all times.
628
00:31:11,827 --> 00:31:13,704
- Setsuo!
- Your guests are here.
629
00:31:13,704 --> 00:31:15,706
Grab 'em some champagne, will you?
630
00:31:15,706 --> 00:31:17,958
And in the meantime,
I told you we ordered in.
631
00:31:17,958 --> 00:31:19,835
Some of Honey's friends are in town
632
00:31:19,835 --> 00:31:22,421
and they happen to be Raiderettes.
633
00:31:24,256 --> 00:31:25,674
- Ladies!
- Hey.
634
00:31:25,674 --> 00:31:26,967
Welcome to Pickfair!
635
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:40,689
Jean-bean?
636
00:31:41,357 --> 00:31:43,108
I got big news, kiddo.
637
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:47,446
- Oh, yeah?
- Me and Honey are gonna tie the knot
638
00:31:47,446 --> 00:31:51,075
and I need you to help me pick out
the most beautiful ring.
639
00:31:52,201 --> 00:31:55,120
So, sweetie, let's go shopping.
640
00:31:56,955 --> 00:31:58,374
Wait.
641
00:31:59,375 --> 00:32:01,794
I'm sorry. So you're really gonna...
642
00:32:03,003 --> 00:32:04,922
You're really gonna do it?
643
00:32:05,964 --> 00:32:08,592
Huh? Yeah, of course.
644
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,178
Fuck, Dad.
645
00:32:12,262 --> 00:32:15,182
Jeanie, you know I'm doing
this for the family, too.
646
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,102
Making it real. We're growing.
647
00:32:18,102 --> 00:32:19,520
You know, it's another one in the nest.
648
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,021
Hey. What...
649
00:32:21,021 --> 00:32:23,023
What's going on with you?
650
00:32:23,023 --> 00:32:25,984
- I just want you to be happy.
- Okay.
651
00:32:25,984 --> 00:32:27,611
So I come down to give
my little girl a kiss
652
00:32:27,611 --> 00:32:29,488
- and this is how you're gonna be.
- What? What?
653
00:32:29,488 --> 00:32:31,407
Alright. Forget it.
654
00:32:31,407 --> 00:32:33,117
Forget it.
655
00:32:33,117 --> 00:32:36,036
Listen, the next time,
why don't you hold up a sign
656
00:32:36,036 --> 00:32:37,746
so I know you woke up
on the wrong side of the bed
657
00:32:37,746 --> 00:32:39,748
'cause I don't need this crap, Jeanie.
658
00:32:49,508 --> 00:32:51,093
- Hey, Coach.
- Good to see ya.
659
00:32:51,093 --> 00:32:52,094
Hey!
660
00:32:53,470 --> 00:32:54,555
Come see us at The Forum!
661
00:32:57,433 --> 00:32:58,892
Jack!
662
00:32:58,892 --> 00:33:00,644
Coach.
663
00:33:01,353 --> 00:33:03,230
- Good to see you.
- You, too.
664
00:33:03,230 --> 00:33:04,898
You look great. Really.
665
00:33:04,898 --> 00:33:07,860
Oh, no. You found my fancy mug shot.
666
00:33:09,236 --> 00:33:11,947
Hey, could somebody bring me a pen
so I can sign this for Jack's kids?
667
00:33:12,489 --> 00:33:13,449
Just joking.
668
00:33:15,451 --> 00:33:17,870
- Some place, though, huh?
- I see why you like it.
669
00:33:19,663 --> 00:33:22,708
So, what's good here? Onion strings?
670
00:33:22,708 --> 00:33:25,544
Burgers, ribs.
Everything is fantastic.
671
00:33:25,544 --> 00:33:27,629
Well, you're buying.
672
00:33:27,629 --> 00:33:29,882
Million Dollar Man.
673
00:33:29,882 --> 00:33:32,342
Hey. I learned from the best.
674
00:33:32,342 --> 00:33:34,595
You didn't learn that
song and dance from me.
675
00:33:34,595 --> 00:33:36,305
The System's just doing
what it's meant to.
676
00:33:36,305 --> 00:33:38,307
Not that crap.
677
00:33:39,224 --> 00:33:41,685
You. I'm proud of you.
678
00:33:41,685 --> 00:33:42,978
You're doing what I never could.
679
00:33:43,687 --> 00:33:45,939
The Hollywood thing? You fit right in.
680
00:33:45,939 --> 00:33:47,858
All I ever thought about was basketball.
681
00:33:47,858 --> 00:33:49,026
Look where that got me.
682
00:33:49,526 --> 00:33:52,321
- Coach of the Year, right?
- Miss Congeniality.
683
00:33:52,321 --> 00:33:54,448
But, hey, this cockamamie
scheme of yours.
684
00:33:54,448 --> 00:33:57,326
A few more articles like this,
it could be you.
685
00:33:58,660 --> 00:34:00,871
Except you got me on your schedule.
686
00:34:02,039 --> 00:34:04,374
It's the matchup I've had circled, Jack.
687
00:34:04,374 --> 00:34:06,919
You and me both.
Let me tell you what I'm gonna do.
688
00:34:06,919 --> 00:34:09,671
You got a flair for the dramatic,
so I think you'll appreciate this.
689
00:34:11,340 --> 00:34:13,217
I'm gonna expose you.
690
00:34:14,802 --> 00:34:15,803
Not all at once.
691
00:34:15,803 --> 00:34:18,055
Halfway tonight, and the rest
692
00:34:18,055 --> 00:34:20,808
the second time I see you
back in Indiana.
693
00:34:28,482 --> 00:34:30,943
Well, I think I'm gonna get
the shoestring potatoes
694
00:34:30,943 --> 00:34:31,985
and the chicken wings.
695
00:34:34,321 --> 00:34:37,199
Hot wings we call roosters.
You want some chicken wings?
696
00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:39,076
Wanna split some chicken wings with me?
697
00:34:49,628 --> 00:34:52,005
Hang back with me.
Hang back with me a second.
698
00:34:56,009 --> 00:34:57,219
What's up, Riles?
699
00:34:59,096 --> 00:35:00,055
You tell me.
700
00:35:03,308 --> 00:35:05,978
Hm? What's it gonna take?
701
00:35:05,978 --> 00:35:07,980
To get you to buy in.
702
00:35:09,439 --> 00:35:11,608
Man, I'm bringin' it every night.
703
00:35:11,608 --> 00:35:12,901
That's bullshit.
704
00:35:13,777 --> 00:35:16,154
I see everybody else bringing it.
705
00:35:16,154 --> 00:35:18,615
I see you out there,
just going through the motions.
706
00:35:19,575 --> 00:35:20,742
Got your lip poked out
707
00:35:20,742 --> 00:35:23,537
like some kid picked last
on the playground.
708
00:35:25,497 --> 00:35:26,874
Running to my spot.
709
00:35:26,874 --> 00:35:27,875
Yeah.
710
00:35:27,875 --> 00:35:29,334
What else you want?
711
00:35:30,002 --> 00:35:32,754
What do I want? I want you to be the star
that they're paying you to be.
712
00:35:33,422 --> 00:35:35,549
- A star?
- Uh-huh.
713
00:35:35,549 --> 00:35:37,342
How I'm supposed to be a star
714
00:35:37,342 --> 00:35:40,345
when you won't let me do
what made me a star?
715
00:35:41,763 --> 00:35:45,267
Larry Bird a star. Iceman a Star.
716
00:35:45,267 --> 00:35:47,853
- Mm-hmm.
- Dr. J!
717
00:35:47,853 --> 00:35:50,856
Ain't nobody telling them
to run to no fucking spots!
718
00:35:52,024 --> 00:35:53,817
- They lettin' them be them!
- Yeah, it's frustrating.
719
00:35:53,817 --> 00:35:55,819
- Yeah!
- For all of us!
720
00:35:56,695 --> 00:35:59,156
You don't think they got
their shit to deal with?
721
00:35:59,740 --> 00:36:01,241
Huh, big man?
722
00:36:01,241 --> 00:36:03,452
You think you're the only one?
723
00:36:04,036 --> 00:36:05,621
Hey, it can't be your way or the highway.
724
00:36:05,621 --> 00:36:07,289
Just leave me the fuck alone.
725
00:36:07,289 --> 00:36:08,457
Listen to me.
726
00:36:08,457 --> 00:36:09,875
I'm trying to get through
to you, man!
727
00:36:11,168 --> 00:36:13,921
You're a basketball savant,
728
00:36:13,921 --> 00:36:16,548
but until you put your
fuckin' heart into this thing,
729
00:36:16,548 --> 00:36:19,551
you have no idea if this is gonna work.
730
00:36:35,651 --> 00:36:37,069
Paul?
731
00:36:37,861 --> 00:36:39,279
Paul?
732
00:36:40,030 --> 00:36:42,491
Paul. We all set with...
733
00:36:42,491 --> 00:36:44,493
- Yeah. That looks great. Thanks, Mike.
- Alright.
734
00:36:45,243 --> 00:36:46,286
Good to see you.
735
00:36:46,286 --> 00:36:47,788
You guys are playing some good ball.
736
00:36:47,788 --> 00:36:49,081
Thank you. Thank you.
737
00:36:49,081 --> 00:36:51,583
- Somehow. Hey! How are you?
- Coach. Hey!
738
00:36:51,583 --> 00:36:52,584
Coach?
739
00:36:52,584 --> 00:36:53,835
Am I getting minutes tonight?
740
00:36:53,835 --> 00:36:55,420
- What?
- I haven't touched the court.
741
00:36:55,420 --> 00:36:58,090
- I know, Kurt. We'll see.
- Am I gonna play this season?
742
00:36:58,090 --> 00:36:59,800
Go get a rebound, please.
743
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,426
How's the wife?
744
00:37:07,265 --> 00:37:10,143
- Good to see you. Alright, Cap.
- See ya, Coach.
745
00:37:12,521 --> 00:37:15,023
I am, are you?
746
00:37:15,023 --> 00:37:16,066
Yep.
747
00:37:20,237 --> 00:37:22,114
The birds and the bees, man!
748
00:37:39,131 --> 00:37:41,925
{\an8}And here we go.
Second overtime, four seconds to go,
749
00:37:41,925 --> 00:37:43,593
{\an8}and this one has been
tooth and nail, Keith.
750
00:37:43,593 --> 00:37:46,179
His underdogs refusing
to die as Coach McKinney
751
00:37:46,179 --> 00:37:48,807
uses his old protege's
quick-shot system against him,
752
00:37:48,807 --> 00:37:52,019
putting up the Pacers'
best offensive night of the season.
753
00:37:52,019 --> 00:37:54,021
And now, he has the ball
and a chance to win.
754
00:37:54,021 --> 00:37:56,189
- Westhead is out of timeouts.
- And here we go.
755
00:37:56,189 --> 00:37:57,649
Alright. Davis to inbound.
756
00:37:58,317 --> 00:38:00,068
Searching. Where's it gonna go?
757
00:38:00,068 --> 00:38:02,195
Magic, double team! He's going to Herb!
758
00:38:02,195 --> 00:38:03,780
- Stay on him.
- I'm open! I'm open!
759
00:38:03,780 --> 00:38:06,116
Davis with the fake, and Magic fights.
760
00:38:06,116 --> 00:38:07,868
Owens left wide open on the way.
761
00:38:07,868 --> 00:38:09,369
Oh, shit!
762
00:38:09,369 --> 00:38:10,704
Lakers scrambling.
763
00:38:10,704 --> 00:38:12,247
- Go down! Stay down!
- Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
764
00:38:12,247 --> 00:38:15,083
Owens with the lob for the win.
765
00:38:15,083 --> 00:38:17,169
No good! Off Williams' fingertips
766
00:38:17,169 --> 00:38:20,005
and these Lakers just barely
manage to survive this one.
767
00:38:20,005 --> 00:38:22,841
And I'll tell you, Paul Westhead is gonna
need the jaws of life
768
00:38:22,841 --> 00:38:24,468
to unclench himself tonight,
769
00:38:24,468 --> 00:38:27,596
but, well, a win's a win, folks,
and that is four in a row.
770
00:38:35,479 --> 00:38:37,272
Good instinct. Fuck 'em.
771
00:38:51,495 --> 00:38:54,414
Alright, guys. Good game.
772
00:39:00,504 --> 00:39:01,421
Yes!
773
00:39:08,512 --> 00:39:10,430
McKinney's still the reigning
coach of the year
774
00:39:10,430 --> 00:39:13,016
but the way you guys been grooving,
you think this next one could be you?
775
00:39:13,016 --> 00:39:14,142
Magic! Nice win.
776
00:39:14,142 --> 00:39:15,393
I guess you're finally getting the hang
777
00:39:15,393 --> 00:39:17,187
- of the new offense, huh?
- Yeah, I guess so.
778
00:39:22,484 --> 00:39:24,319
Love sensation
779
00:39:24,319 --> 00:39:26,530
Oh
780
00:39:26,530 --> 00:39:28,281
Love sensation
781
00:39:28,281 --> 00:39:29,866
Oh, sensation
782
00:39:29,866 --> 00:39:32,244
Love sensation
783
00:39:32,244 --> 00:39:35,330
You got me burnin' up
with your love sensation
784
00:39:36,206 --> 00:39:37,124
Hi!
785
00:39:37,874 --> 00:39:39,376
Now, we're talking!
786
00:39:39,376 --> 00:39:42,129
- What did I tell you?
- Oh, yeah, yeah. You told me.
787
00:39:42,129 --> 00:39:44,464
- You sure did.
- You heard it here first!
788
00:39:44,464 --> 00:39:47,884
- Never fold a winner!
- Yeah. I'm glad we held off.
789
00:39:47,884 --> 00:39:49,761
Yeah, well, patience is a virtue, huh?
790
00:39:50,512 --> 00:39:52,472
Go on and get yourself a drink on me.
791
00:39:52,472 --> 00:39:54,933
I wanna see you cut the rug!
I wanna see that victory dance!
792
00:39:54,933 --> 00:39:58,436
- Alright, boss.
- Smile, Bill! We won!
793
00:39:59,062 --> 00:40:02,190
Huh? Oh, don't fuckin' tell me
he thought that was a win.
794
00:40:02,190 --> 00:40:04,151
It was. Can't argue with the scoreboard.
795
00:40:04,151 --> 00:40:07,070
Sure we fuckin' can, Bill!
That's what we fuckin' do!
796
00:40:07,070 --> 00:40:09,197
Yeah, well, knock yourself out.
I need a drink.
797
00:40:09,197 --> 00:40:11,449
Love sensation
798
00:40:11,449 --> 00:40:13,952
I prefer it when the emperor
has no clothes.
799
00:40:15,620 --> 00:40:17,622
Well, that can be arranged.
800
00:40:17,622 --> 00:40:19,666
Love sensation
801
00:40:19,666 --> 00:40:21,585
- Proud of you.
- What do you wanna do?
802
00:40:21,585 --> 00:40:23,545
Wanna blow this joint and get naked?
803
00:40:25,630 --> 00:40:27,799
Sweet sensation
804
00:40:29,467 --> 00:40:32,387
I can't find the words to explain
805
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,349
You're such a hot temptation
806
00:40:37,350 --> 00:40:41,104
You just walk right in and take me away
807
00:40:44,065 --> 00:40:46,109
And all I wanna say is
808
00:40:46,109 --> 00:40:49,446
- Don't leave me hanging, Buss.
- Let's see what you got.
809
00:40:50,697 --> 00:40:54,576
Can't you see that I love nobody else?
810
00:40:56,161 --> 00:40:58,455
I love nobody else
811
00:40:58,455 --> 00:41:02,459
Can't you see that I love nobody else?
812
00:41:02,459 --> 00:41:04,502
I love nobody
813
00:41:04,502 --> 00:41:08,506
And time won't take my...
814
00:41:08,506 --> 00:41:12,511
Love...
815
00:41:12,511 --> 00:41:16,473
Away...
816
00:41:19,517 --> 00:41:22,145
Oh ho! Time won't
817
00:41:22,145 --> 00:41:24,481
Alright, so help me
pick out a good one.
818
00:41:24,481 --> 00:41:26,483
Make your father an honest man.
819
00:41:28,485 --> 00:41:29,569
What do you think?
820
00:41:33,031 --> 00:41:35,825
Well, I don't wanna say. You say.
821
00:41:35,825 --> 00:41:38,828
Anything jumping out at you?
Oh, yeah. That one.
822
00:41:39,913 --> 00:41:43,333
Oh, yeah. I like the gold.
It's like Lakers gold on there.
823
00:41:45,001 --> 00:41:46,044
How many carats is that?
824
00:41:50,006 --> 00:41:52,092
Third win in a row
for the streaking Lakers.
825
00:41:52,092 --> 00:41:54,094
Quick shots, effective rebounding,
826
00:41:54,094 --> 00:41:56,304
and a notch in the win column.
827
00:41:57,305 --> 00:42:00,267
And they're still paying Magic
all them millions
828
00:42:00,267 --> 00:42:01,643
but they shouldn't be.
829
00:42:01,643 --> 00:42:04,020
No sign of any fancy passing.
830
00:42:04,020 --> 00:42:05,272
No more show.
831
00:42:05,272 --> 00:42:08,608
Might as well be any other
bitch-ass point guard in the league.
832
00:42:19,661 --> 00:42:20,620
Watch the pick!
833
00:42:32,716 --> 00:42:34,843
Damn it! Time out! Time out!
834
00:42:37,387 --> 00:42:39,055
- Hey. You alright? You alright?
- I'm good.
835
00:42:39,055 --> 00:42:40,098
Shit!
836
00:42:42,517 --> 00:42:45,228
Earvin! Earvin! What the hell is that?
837
00:42:45,228 --> 00:42:47,564
It's the same goddamn play
he beat you on last season.
838
00:42:47,564 --> 00:42:49,649
- That's his man!
- Do not blame him!
839
00:42:49,649 --> 00:42:51,151
- You stick with your own man!
- Tell him that!
840
00:42:51,151 --> 00:42:53,987
Do not blame him! Stick with your own man!
841
00:42:54,821 --> 00:42:56,614
Mitch! Good job. Fine work out there.
842
00:42:56,614 --> 00:42:59,117
- He's doing a great job.
- Great job, Mitch?
843
00:42:59,117 --> 00:43:00,910
Where are you going?
844
00:43:00,910 --> 00:43:02,996
- Where the hell do you think you're--
- Draw up the play, Paul.
845
00:43:02,996 --> 00:43:03,955
- Come on.
- Okay.
846
00:43:06,082 --> 00:43:08,752
{\an8}Time out to discuss
the miscommunication on defense
847
00:43:08,752 --> 00:43:10,795
{\an8}between Magic and Kupchak.
Lakers lead--
848
00:43:14,883 --> 00:43:16,968
Huddle up! Huddle up.
849
00:43:16,968 --> 00:43:19,429
- Earvin, would you get in here?
- Man, I am here!
850
00:43:21,056 --> 00:43:23,683
{\an8}Back from break at the Salt Palace
and things have escalated.
851
00:43:23,683 --> 00:43:25,977
{\an8}Magic Johnson refusing to join his team.
852
00:43:25,977 --> 00:43:27,854
Get your ass into this huddle.
853
00:43:27,854 --> 00:43:29,647
I am here!
854
00:43:29,647 --> 00:43:31,983
Magic! Nice disappearing act!
855
00:43:32,734 --> 00:43:34,778
- Disappear this!
- You're a bum!
856
00:43:34,778 --> 00:43:37,113
- And you live in Utah!
- Paul, come on.
857
00:43:37,113 --> 00:43:40,241
Earvin! Would you leave those people alone
and get your ass over here?
858
00:43:40,241 --> 00:43:41,951
Man, I said I'm listening.
859
00:43:41,951 --> 00:43:43,328
To hell you are.
860
00:43:43,328 --> 00:43:45,705
Earvin, get your ass into my huddle,
861
00:43:45,705 --> 00:43:47,665
or take your ass back to the locker room.
862
00:43:50,377 --> 00:43:52,128
- Paul, come on.
- Can you not touch me, please?
863
00:43:52,128 --> 00:43:53,171
Come on, Buck.
864
00:43:55,173 --> 00:43:57,175
{\an8}We can't repeat
what we just heard courtside,
865
00:43:57,175 --> 00:43:58,760
{\an8}just say the fans aren't giving--
866
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,346
You're gonna walk away
when your team needs you?
867
00:44:01,346 --> 00:44:04,015
Get back here now!
868
00:44:04,015 --> 00:44:05,850
Earvin, get back here!
869
00:44:05,850 --> 00:44:07,102
Lansing hero--
870
00:44:07,102 --> 00:44:08,603
Get back here!
871
00:44:11,648 --> 00:44:12,690
Okay.
872
00:44:12,690 --> 00:44:13,775
A basketball team is like a family.
873
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,199
- Oh, my, folks, the most...
- ...little bitch...
874
00:44:27,372 --> 00:44:29,624
25 million for 25--
875
00:44:33,336 --> 00:44:35,380
And the Lakers dodge
another bullet, Keith,
876
00:44:35,380 --> 00:44:38,383
pulling out a road win
by a paltry single possession.
877
00:44:38,383 --> 00:44:41,219
{\an8}And I'll tell you, my friend,
this one was not pretty.
878
00:44:41,219 --> 00:44:42,554
The System's unstoppable.
879
00:44:42,554 --> 00:44:43,847
Come on. Look at us.
880
00:44:43,847 --> 00:44:46,558
- I have to go take care of this right now.
- Paul.
881
00:44:49,144 --> 00:44:51,271
- Paul!
- What, Pat?
882
00:44:56,651 --> 00:44:57,819
Nothing.
883
00:44:59,279 --> 00:45:00,738
Nothing.
884
00:45:01,322 --> 00:45:02,741
Good.
885
00:45:14,586 --> 00:45:15,879
Earvin!
886
00:45:16,921 --> 00:45:17,881
Earvin!
887
00:45:19,591 --> 00:45:21,551
Earvin! Earvin, I'd like to talk--
888
00:45:21,551 --> 00:45:23,303
- Get the fuck off me! Fuck off!
- In here, please.
889
00:45:23,303 --> 00:45:25,513
Coach, are you losing control of the team?
890
00:45:27,182 --> 00:45:28,558
I'm sorry, I can't--
891
00:45:33,605 --> 00:45:34,981
Do not ever do that to me again.
892
00:45:36,399 --> 00:45:38,443
You humiliated yourself out there.
893
00:45:38,443 --> 00:45:40,403
You disrespected me.
894
00:45:40,403 --> 00:45:42,614
You disrespected your teammates.
I will not have it.
895
00:45:44,991 --> 00:45:46,451
That's it?
896
00:45:48,244 --> 00:45:50,288
I'm tired of your crap.
897
00:45:50,288 --> 00:45:52,957
I am sick and tired of
your horseshit attitude.
898
00:45:52,957 --> 00:45:55,835
And if it happens again,
you will be sitting on the fucking bench!
899
00:45:55,835 --> 00:45:57,337
Next to me!
900
00:45:58,129 --> 00:45:59,923
Might as well.
901
00:45:59,923 --> 00:46:01,382
Excuse me?
902
00:46:01,382 --> 00:46:04,385
You ain't using me right no how.
Might as well sit me down.
903
00:46:11,267 --> 00:46:14,562
If you sit, it will be my choice.
904
00:46:16,439 --> 00:46:19,651
If you play, it will be my choice.
905
00:46:20,902 --> 00:46:22,320
Not yours.
906
00:46:23,780 --> 00:46:24,781
Do you understand?
907
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:30,828
You done?
908
00:46:34,374 --> 00:46:35,792
Sure.
909
00:47:01,568 --> 00:47:03,278
Paul, what happened with Magic?
910
00:47:03,278 --> 00:47:06,364
We had a productive conversation.
911
00:47:06,364 --> 00:47:08,157
- What about?
- That's not...
912
00:47:09,576 --> 00:47:11,619
It's not for public consumption.
913
00:47:11,619 --> 00:47:13,871
You two seemed very steamed out there.
Is everything okay?
914
00:47:19,794 --> 00:47:23,047
The almond tree
bears its fruit in silence.
915
00:47:23,047 --> 00:47:25,258
- What did he say?
- Don't know.
916
00:47:25,758 --> 00:47:27,343
Who are you quoting?
917
00:47:29,596 --> 00:47:32,599
Me. That's a Paul Westhead original.
918
00:47:38,354 --> 00:47:39,939
I feel like we're going around
in circles here, gentlemen,
919
00:47:39,939 --> 00:47:41,941
so that's my time.
920
00:47:41,941 --> 00:47:44,736
We're going around
in circles here, gentlemen!
921
00:48:30,323 --> 00:48:33,493
Hey, guys, we got, like,
one or two press incoming.
922
00:48:33,493 --> 00:48:36,245
It wasn't pretty, but was another notch
in the win column.
923
00:48:36,245 --> 00:48:39,332
- Can you tell us what happened?
- How'd it go with Westhead?
924
00:48:39,332 --> 00:48:41,167
Are you and Coach
finally seeing eye-to-eye?
925
00:48:41,167 --> 00:48:43,503
Do you have a comment, Magic?
926
00:48:43,503 --> 00:48:45,421
Something?
927
00:48:46,297 --> 00:48:47,715
Something the matter?
928
00:48:48,341 --> 00:48:49,717
Any comment?
929
00:48:59,686 --> 00:49:02,105
Ain't nothing towards the fellas.
930
00:49:03,564 --> 00:49:05,525
I love my teammates.
931
00:49:06,317 --> 00:49:08,569
I love everybody, but I ain't happy.
932
00:49:09,612 --> 00:49:11,197
I...
933
00:49:15,159 --> 00:49:16,953
I'm showing up,
934
00:49:16,953 --> 00:49:18,955
playing hard as I can.
935
00:49:21,833 --> 00:49:24,377
But I ain't having no fun.
936
00:49:28,881 --> 00:49:30,216
I gotta go.
937
00:49:31,426 --> 00:49:32,844
Gonna go in the morning,
938
00:49:32,844 --> 00:49:35,638
talk to the man, the Buss,
see what he can do.
939
00:49:35,638 --> 00:49:37,849
- What's that mean, Magic?
- About what?
940
00:49:37,849 --> 00:49:39,225
Yeah, what would you say to him?
941
00:49:45,732 --> 00:49:46,899
I wanna be traded.
