Dumbbells
My coach
always told me
that in order
to achieve success
you must visualize
your dreams.
But more importantly,
you have to believe it.
For me, that vision
has always been clear.
NBA superstar
and married to Kim,
the love of my life.
If this all sounds
farfetched to you,
you probably haven't
seen me play.
My name is Chris Long.
And tonight
I realize my destiny.
# If it weren't for the boy
# Who felt like
whatever he did #
# Wasn't good enough
# Was different
than every kid #
# But wait,
deep down inside #
# And his heart was of gold
and hope was eager to win #
# Was so sick and tired
# Sneaking on him
# No, he would come and attack
by the evil again #
# And his family's poor
# He swore he would
feed them again #
# But on his way out there goes
# They put him in
the coliseum #
# To be food for the lions
# But he cut right through 'em
like the man on fire #
# With my heart
of Leonidas #
# He fought through
all them riots #
# Cause he was one bad man
stick his nose to the choir #
# But this world
was deep in for you #
# Bloodlines went back
to the people #
Look at this crowd,
the feeling here is electric.
All that anticipation
for this epic showdown
between LA Tech
and Rock Falls Pioneers.
But the big story here
is the heroic play
He has literally put
this team on his back
and carried them into
in 23 years.
How about that?
That's right, Jeff.
Chris Long has had four,
count 'em,
four consecutive
Temple doubles.
He shows no sign
of stopping.
He will easily go top five
in the draft this year.
Top five?
What's wrong with you?
How about the top pick?
How do you spell MVP?
Chris Long.
Watch out NBA,
here comes Long.
Okay, Kim is a ho for sho'.
Chris deserves so much
better than her.
Brittany, it's your turn.
Truth or dare?
Truth.
David Beckham, Tom Brady,
or Chris Long?
Duh, Chris Long!
Chris, Chris, Chris,
Chris, Chris!
Oh, my God!
No, no, Dick,
it looks like it's his knee,
this could be serious.
This is a crack
in the team's armor
they do not need
right now.
Oh, this hurts
just to look at.
Kimmy-poo.
Ah, what are you doing?
Thought you weren't supposed to
be back for another hour.
What's with the suitcase?
Don't be so emotional,
Chris.
I'm, I'm not being emotional.
I don't have time for this,
Daddy's waiting.
But everything's
in the note.
Whoa, whoa,
Kim, slow down.
What's going on,
where are you going?
You have three and a half
years of college left.
This is your dorm room.
You're an art major.
I thought you,
you loved my paintings.
Yuck.
Kim, you can't listen to what
coaches and doctors
and physical therapists
and everyone else
at the school says.
I'm getting drafted.
You're delusional.
Wake up.
Kim!
Kim, wait!
Loud and clear,
all right,
talk to you later.
All right, Mr. Long.
So, yeah, over here.
That was my boss
on the phone.
Sorry that took so long,
it's not just your thing,
I've got a sexual harassment
Whatever, you know,
b*tches be crazy, you know?
B*tches also don't like
being called b*tches
in the boardroom, so,
you live and you learn.
Anyway, good news for you.
He actually thinks
you look like
a professional
basketball player.
Awesome, so does that mean
I get the loan?
What?
No, God no, not even,
No, you uh, you have no assets
to speak of
besides the size of your balls
for even asking
for that amount of money.
In fact, he thinks it's
a real estate scam.
No, no, no, no,
it's not a scam.
Okay.
And uh, look, I need this loan,
okay?
I, I owe a lot of rent
and...
Oh, well then, here,
take the money.
You know, would you,
no, it's no, it's no.
I don't know where
you're from,
but this is America, okay?
And in America
financial institutions
work with rules
and regulations.
You know?
It keeps us out of
economic des...
I mean, actually it lead to
economic destruction
right now, currently.
That's, that's on us,
admittedly,
but we've learned.
Probably a lot of it was from
giving loans
to people like you, let's be
honest, I'm just saying.
And I don't appreciate
the death stare, by the way,
so if you could put that
in your pocket as you leave.
But, look, okay?
I understand, all right?
You're desperate.
some advice,
if you wouldn't mind,
just one guy to another, okay?
Get the f*** out
of my office.
Six AM, papi,
not ten.
Hello?
Excuse me?
Hello?
We need some help here.
There are like,
so many membership packages.
We, like, don't know
what we want.
Oh, my God.
You look so familiar.
Where do we
know him from?
I think he was at the club
last night, remember?
No, he wasn't at the club.
We saw him at the market,
remember?
He as at the salad bar.
Oh, my God,
no, wait,
didn't you?
OMG, you're that
basketball guy, right?
May I help you ladies?
So how did you end up
in here?
Yeah, you work here now?
I like, totally do work here.
Isn't that, like, crazy?
Are you mocking us?
Gosh.
This is the rudest gym
we've ever been to.
The rudest.
You need deodorant.
Elvira wants
her hairdo back.
Excuse me, young ladies,
hi, I'm Missy, hi.
Holy Jesus, Chris,
you really,
really gave it to 'em, huh?
- B*tches, right?
- Amen, brother.
Are you gonna let him speak
to our customers like that?
Cus-, they didn't buy anything.
Did they buy anything?
How are we supposed to
get more business
with you scaring
everybody off?
Did you really want
the Hilton freaks
working out here, Missy?
The b*tches have money,
so, yeah.
I don't give a f*** if
in the sauna.
Well, thank you
for your input.
Now if you'll excuse me
I'm gonna get back
to some work.
You mean staring at
that skinny b*tch's
Facebook page again.
Miho, you need to go out
and get laid,
for Christ's sakes,
let a girl play with your dick
for all of our benefits.
News flash,
I make minimum wage
which makes me about
as attractive to women
as a yeast infection.
You're disgusting.
You're
disgusting.
What's up dicksfit?
Seen the numbers on
my YouTube video?
I'm up to 104 views.
About to make
Bro, you're getting the floor
all wet.
You're getting the kitchen
all ugly.
Hey, Chris.
Don't you f***ing
talk to her.
I'm not even
talking to you.
You getting smart
with me, man?
I'm an orange belt,
I'll make you my prison b*tch.
- Are we done?
- I'm never done, Chris.
I got 20 more laps
and an hour more worth of legs
and I'm not gonna stop
till I feel
like I'm back in college
and there's a f***ing party
in the quad.
God, I love Mondays!
Hello, Chris.
You look a little bit down.
Maybe I can cheer you up with
a little bit of a tap dance.
What are you doing?
