- So, odds to the...

- Left.

Look. Anton, call 47.

- Forty-seven.

- See what he's doing?

Forty's the play.

And seven's the direction.

If it was on the other side, it'd be 48.

You got it?

Don't worry.

You'll pick it up quick. Coach?

I want you to bury your nose

in this playbook

like it's a pillow made out of

Rihanna's titties.

[laughing]

[Anton] Forty-eight.

- I got you, coach.

- Now, watch this.

[Anton] Y'all know why big man

can't hit no threes?

Why's that, man?

Because he's nailing them all day

off the court.

[all laughing]

Stupid, man.

Hey, yo.

I got a question for you, Einstein.

It's the number of fucks I give.

Bro, I'm being serious.

I wanna know what you're doing.

What are these blocks for?

Maybe they could help me?

Hey. Don't tell them, but...

[whispers] I got a learning disability.

Something that works for you

could work for me.

Well, they just represent numbers.

This represents five, this represents ten.

- Yeah.

- So, this is half of that.

Oh. I see.

You're trying to diagram plays.

Dawg, I'm glad you're here.

Yo, this nigga's gonna make me

look like a f***ing genius.

[all laughing]

[crowd cheering, then whistle blows]

- [Curtis] Hey, hey.

- [ref] Double foul.

Three black, one white.

Use your heads. You can't foul out

in a situation like that.

[ref] That's five on number one.

He's gone, coach.

Anton, get your ass up.

Terron, you slide to the one.

All right, listen up.

We're gonna hold for the last shot.

We're gonna run 50.

Terron, it's a tie game.

You be patient, make the read.

Let's go. Finish on three.

One, two, three.

- [all] Finish!

- Let's go. Come on.

We got this.

[whistle blows]

Twelve, eleven, ten...

Fifty-five. Fifty-five.

[crowd cheering, buzzer buzzing]

- Bro, you call 55?

- Yeah, I...

- Why did you go right?

- You was supposed to...

You go left.

Odds go left, you f***ing idiot.

Terron, what the hell was that?

- I'm not used to plays with directions.

- Your problem's with numbers.

No, it's, like, a visual thing.

Numbers are backwards.

- Left is right sometimes...

- Listen to me.

You wanna play,

know your left from your right, okay?

F***. For real

-Hey yo, hey yo, I'm a rolling stone

- Yeah

Don't knock on my door

'Cause I ain't never home

Don't knock on my door

If I'm home I'm in the zone

Don't knock on my door

If I'm home I'm home alone, hey

[gasps]

How did you get here?

- Game wasn't that far.

- Well, why didn't you tell me?

Where's Dad? He feeling all right?

He's at work. He's doing fine.

Don't worry about him.

So, tell me how your new friends are,

how your new classes are.

What's wrong?

- Wish I could do it like everyone else.

- Ooh. I know.

Have two teammates run to either side,

yell out which side they're standing on,

and call their names

as the direction of the play.

Ma, that's just crazy.

Okay, you're right. It's a bad idea.

We just have to get creative.

I know what numbers are even

and which are odd, it's just...

I don't know what side to go on.

Well, you shoot with your right hand,

right?

Well, yeah, but...

I don't gotta think about that.

What happens when you shoot

with your left?

I don't think about that either.

[Gaines] Let's go. Execute on three.

One, two, three.

[all] Execute.

Coach. Let me run it. I got this.

[crowd cheering]

- Lyles, you swing to the two.

- What?

You heard me.

Hand him the keys?

He's driving the short bus.

[Gaines] Thirty.

Thirty-nine. Thirty-nine.

[crowd cheering]

Great throw. Great throw.

That's how you throw a f***ing pass.

There you go.

We're gonna run 50.

Lyles, on the wing. Petrus, on the left...

- Coach, run 40.

- What?

His man is fronting.

He's gonna get the screen.

- Give a man a rope, he wanna be a cowboy.

- I'll call the play for you.

- Give me the ball at the top of the key.

- Both of you just shut up.

Shut up, okay?

Here's what we're gonna do.

Get the ball to Forte

at the top of the key.

Let's go.

[crowd cheering]

- That's what I'm talking about.

- [laughing]

- That's what I'm talking about.

- Yeah.

- You guys got all that, right?

- Yeah, of course, coach.

Hey, Terron. Can we get a drop

for our website? Hoopscout. tv?

- No problem.

- Make sure you get Liberty in there.

All right, coach. I got you.

Just say to the camera.

Say what? What do I say?

[man] Your name

and the name of the website.

This is Terron Forte

I must've just passed out here, you know?

Let me get this out of your way.

Sh*t.

God...

- [man] We've gone through this.

- [Vince] That's bullshit.

- Not the first time we went through this.

- I've done this with everyone...
