But he made the sacrifices he needed to

and now he's an NBA all-star.

- Know what else he did to get there?

- Worked hard?

No.

He listened to every f***ing thing I said.

Talent's not enough.

You need someone in your corner

who knows the system

and how to play it for you.

He figured that out

and he has 100 million.

What would you do

with that money, Terron?

I would buy my parents a house.

One of those pools that's, like,

shaped like a bean.

What are those things in the backyard

where you just like eat and fart?

- A gazebo?

- Yeah, a gazebo.

[chuckling]

It's real nice you wanna take care

of your family, Terron. It is.

We both know that's not gonna happen

if you stay here.

Think about it.

Wait, coach.

I wanna make it just like him.

I wanna take care of my family.

Good.

Start by giving me 50

behind that crack right there.

All right.

Um, could you count them for me?

You got it. Let's go.

That's one.

There you go. Nice.

Two.

- [Terron] So, what's the gym like?

- Oh, the gym's real nice.

- You're gonna like it.

- Can't wait.

I wanna play basketball forever, coach.

Till I'm, like, your age.

- [laughing] That's cold.

- [Vince] My bad for being late.

- Did it all go down without me?

- [Gaines] I worked him out pretty hard.

- Nice to meet you, Vince.

- Pretty hard?

- [both chuckle]

- Is he onboard?

See? I told you those highlights

would get the word out. Hmm?

Byron and I talked broad strokes,

but we have details to hammer out.

[Gaines] Sounds good. Byron's right.

You're tall.

- What are you, 6'4"?

- And a half.

- You were a player, too, right?

- [Vince] Three sports.

Yeah, I was all about football.

Wideout.

Well, tight end after I hit my spurt.

I was shorter than him at his age.

Man, he's gonna be tall.

His mama's tall, too.

- That's good. I can't wait to meet her.

- It's gonna be three on one, right?

- Ma won't let me go.

- Don't worry. She's not my first mom.

You ain't her first coach.

[laughing]

All we need is a good game plan.

I can set you up,

but you have to knock it down.

Because the only person

she can't say no to... is you.

You got this?

[Gaines] We're offering your son

a full-ride scholarship,

including room and board.

Liberty's never offered this

to someone so young.

That's how much we believe

in his potential.

Your school is called Liberty?

This says it's...

Liberty Prep is connected to Bishop

Anthony, an elite country day school

that sends its students

to the finest universities.

They prepare him academically,

we prepare for the next level

athletically.

It really is the best of both worlds.

So, Liberty is a high school team.

But Terron is only 14.

He's already playing up.

He's gonna live with older students?

[Gaines] He'll live and train

with the team.

But he'll study with students his own age

at Bishop Anthony.

- [Nia] How far away is this school?

- Just over the state line.

Thanks for the offer.

We'll discuss it as a family.

[Gaines] I understand.

Unfortunately, there is a timing element.

I'm on my way to a tournament

and a player is ready to accept

the roster spot.

Nia, we cannot pass this up.

Is there anything I can do to help you

feel more comfortable with this decision?

If Terron goes to your school, he'd be

one of the smartest kids on your team...

but he also has a condition, dyscalculia,

which is a kind of number blindness.

He told me about it.

He did?

Ma, you think things are getting better?

They will get better.

We need to work harder.

You think I ain't trying?

It's like a... Like another language.

I feel so stupid.

But what else can we do

we ain't been doing?

I mean, like, at his school,

they have learning specialists, tutors.

They even got a whole, um...

What is it called?

- Learning Differences curriculum.

- Ma, they have a whole program for me.

Please, just let me go get help.

Is this what you really want, our boy?

You have to promise me that this is

leading him towards a college education.

I'll promise he'll receive multiple

scholarship offers without a doubt.

You have to promise me you're gonna work

just as hard off the court

as you will on it.

I promise.

Everybody follow me.

I'll follow you guys back.

About to check out the new school.

We doing this live, baby.

Fresh meat.

- [Terron] What's up?

- How you doing?

Coach Curtis. I'll get that for you.

Hop in.

[Terron] There it is.

Wasn't that the school?

That's Bishop Anthony.

That's where you take classes.

Home is this way.

Welcome to Liberty House.

- So, this is where the squad stays?

- Yeah, I know, it's a little rough,

but remember, we're staying at nice hotels

most of the time.

Why don't we just live in the school?

Bishop Anthony is a day school,

so no one actually lives there.

- So, who do we play for?

- We play for us.

But it's good for them, too.

It's like a partnership.

You know, they get some extra tuition,

make their diversity quota,

and get some real ballers to cheer for.

And we get our transcripts and visas

covered and get to use their facilities,

which are nicer than some colleges.

You'll see it tomorrow.

You're gonna love it. Trust me. This way.

You just take that top bunk right there.

You need anything at all,

holler at me downstairs.

All right.

Um, do I have to set an alarm?

- No, I'll get you up bright and early.

- Wait. Um, what do we have first?

First up is the optional-mandatory

workout.

[chuckles] All right.

[Anton] Yo, turn it the f*** off.

[sighs]

[Gaines] Good morning.

Here you go, Terron. Good morning.

Sup. My name's T.

Yo, coach?

[Gaines] Good morning, Anton.

Got a daycare team

you ain't told us about?

[Gaines chuckles]

You somebody's son or something?

Yeah. Ain't you?

[Anton] Yo, I figured it out.

I know who you are.

You're the ball boy.

Why didn't you say so?

- Wait, we got a game tonight?

- Yeah.

Yo, y'all met the new ball boy?

He's gonna be carrying your sh*t.

[Curtis] More gifted, more responsibility,

gentlemen.

Pain is just the weakness

leaving your body.

Get down in the squat, fresh meat.

[grunting]

Fresh meat here is working harder

than all y'all.

Come on, get in there.

[whistle blows]

Let's go. Pack it in. Hit the shower.

You got second period in 26 minutes.

Petrus. Wrong direction.

[Petrus] My bad, coach.

Class is through there, fresh meat.

What time is it?

We are not going to first period.

This was first period.

So, then how am I gonna pass...

pre-algebra?

Do not worry.

You are getting help.

You understand?

[girl 1] Hey, did you see...?

[boy 1] I'm only 70 percent sure

that I got...

That I got...

The whole thing was...

[boy 2] That test? Dude.

I didn't do the bonus question.

You didn't get it? I didn't get it, either, - but I tried my best.

- [boy 1] Yeah.

[woman] And everyone open to Psalms 32:34.

[Nia] Where are you, Terron?

I'm supposed to be in class,

but I can't find any of them.

Well, why don't you ask someone for help,
