Enough Sacred Oil Left

For A Single Day.

Judah Must've Thought,

"What's The Use?

"Why Light A Lamp

For A Single Day,

When So Much More Is Needed

To Give My People Hope."

[Bell Ringing]

Shalom.

Good-Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Something On Your Mind,

Alex?

Besides The Yarmulke?

If The Maccabees Had

Lost Judah,

They Would've Been

Massacred, Right?

Perhaps People Need

A Strong Leader.

Our Judah's Gone,

And So Is Any Chance

Of Us Winning

That Tournament.

Maybe Not.

You Mean Lamont

Might Stay?

I Mean That Perhaps

Judah's Courage And Leadership

Isn't Something We Should

Be Searching For In Others,

But In Ourselves.

You're Saying

I Could Be Judah?

Come On,

I'm Just A Kid.

When Judah Was Asked

By His Companions,

"How Can We,

Few As We Are,

Fight Back Against

So Great A Multitude?"

Judah's Reply Was,

"It's Not The Size

Of Our Army,

It Is The Strength

Of Our Faith."

Announcer:

Philadelphia Hebrew Academy

Welcomes 16 Teams.

Their Friends And Family,

You Know That's Right.

Whoo!

Yeah!

All Right. 2 Games

To The Finals, Dogs.

We Worked Hard

To Get Here, And We

Came Here To Win.

So, Let's Go Out

There And Show Them

Our Best, All Right?

Let's Go, Team!

Come On!

Let's Go, Let's Go,

Let's Go, Let's Go.

Go, Guys!

Excuse Me. Thank You.

Ah! Oh!

Hey!

All Right, My Dogs,

This Is Our Home Court.

Let Me Hear It!

Yeah.

Yeah.

Come On, Have I Got

A Bunch Of Chihuahuas Here?

I Said Let Me Hear It!

All:
Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo!

There We Go.

All Right. Remember

The Maccabees.

Defense Is Our Offense.

And Our Defense Starts

With A Full Court...

All:
Press!

All Right. Hands In.

"Lions" On 3.

1, 2, 3.

All:
Go, Lions!

Break!

Break!

Boys, Let's Go.

All Right, Let's Go!

This Is It!

All Right.

Here We Go, Guys.

Marshall:

Oh, Marshall.

Ok.

Boy:
All Right, Guys.

[Whistle Blows]

All Right. Ready?

Alex:
Nice, Stick.

Ok!

[Cheering]

Hey!

Defense, Boys, Defense.

Boy:

[Overlapping Yelling]

[Buzzer]

Man:

[Overlapping Chatter]

[Telephone Ringing

In Background]

Alex.

[Ring]

[Sighs]

Mom, I'm Proud Of You

Being A Doctor.

Thank You.

How'd You Do?

[Sighs]

We Won.

We're In The Finals.

Congratulations.

Why Don't You Trust Me?

What Makes

You Think I Don't?

You Can't Accept Me

Being Anything But A Doctor.

Honey, I Just Want

What's Best For You.

Look, Being A Doctor

Is What's Best For You,

Maybe Not For Me.

Alex--

Look, I'm Not

An Idiot, Ok?

I Know The Chances

Of Me Playing Professional

Ball Are Long--

Maybe Even Impossible--

But I Still Want You

To Be Proud Of Me.

I Am.

At Your Bar Mitzvah,

You Took A Step Toward

Becoming A Man.

But It Was Also

A Step For Me--

A Step Toward...

Letting Go.

And That Can Be

As Hard As Growing Up.

So Help Me

To Understand.

What...What Does

Basketball Mean To You?

Ok, It's Like This...

When I've Got

The Ball In My Hand...

And I'm Heading

Down The Court...

Everything Around Me

Just Disappears.

Nothing Else Exists Except

For Me And The Ball.

It's Like My Whole

Entire Life

Is Just Wrapped Up

In The One Moment,

One Pure Moment In Time

When It Seems

Like The Ball

Just Flies Off My Hands

And Swishes

Into The Net.

Woman On Tv:
Severe

Thunderstorms Are Expected

To Blanket

The Philadelphia Area

Tomorrow Afternoon

And Evening.

Gusts Up To 40 Miles

An Hour Are Expected.

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

Hey, Sweetie.

How You Doing?

My Knees Are Killing Me.

[Sighs]

The Younger Guys

Are Out-Jumping Me,

But, You Know, I Still

Have Some Moves.

Yeah.

Look, Um...

The Reason

I'm Calling Is...

I've Been Doing

Some Hard Thinking.

And I've Got An Idea.

[Thunder]

[Thunder]

[Chatter]

Of Our Hats.

Take One Of These.

In Case You Get

Too Far Behind,

You Can Surrender.

You'll Look Good In It.
