over the summer,

Coach, but...

410

00:
25:09,174 -- 00:25:11,972

Whoa!

What's that?

411

00:
25:12,043 -- 00:25:14,409

- [Groaning]

- You forgot how to shoot, son?

412

00:
25:14,479 -- 00:25:17,073

I haven't forgotten, Coach.

413

00:
25:17,148 -- 00:25:19,013

Okay, we're gonna

go back to fundamentals.

414

00:
25:19,084 -- 00:25:21,314

Put your left hand behind your back.

415

00:
25:22,721 -- 00:25:25,315

Put the ball on your fingertips.

416

00:
25:25,390 -- 00:25:26,687

Oh, not this drill, Coach.

417

00:
25:26,758 -- 00:25:28,487

We did this a million times

last season.

418

00:
25:28,560 -- 00:25:30,425

Son, you can never get

enough of the fundamentals.

419

00:
25:30,495 -- 00:25:32,224

Coach, you're wasting your time.

420

00:
25:32,297 -- 00:25:34,322

If white boy could shoot,

he would've been shooting.

421

00:
25:34,399 -- 00:25:36,424

- I got it.

- Look at that.

422

00:
25:36,501 -- 00:25:37,763

It's ridiculous.

423

00:
25:37,836 -- 00:25:39,804

- It's all right, son.

- Keep working, Randy.

424

00:
25:39,871 -- 00:25:40,997

It's terrible. Ridiculous.

425

00:
25:41,072 -- 00:25:43,336

I'm gonna have to find

a special drill for you.

426

00:
25:43,408 -- 00:25:44,966

What kinda drill I'ma do by myself?

427

00:
25:45,043 -- 00:25:47,375

If I remember right,

we've gotta work on your footwork.

428

00:
25:47,445 -- 00:25:51,347

Hey, Coach!

Hey.

429

00:
25:51,416 -- 00:25:53,611

Christian.

You all right?

430

00:
25:53,685 -- 00:25:55,118

Yeah, baby,

I'm great, man.

431

00:
25:55,186 -- 00:25:57,313

- JJ.

- Yo, my man.

432

00:
25:57,389 -- 00:25:59,550

Hey, what's going on?

Christian, man.

433

00:
25:59,624 -- 00:26:00,886

- Carl, man.

- All right.

434

00:
26:00,959 -- 00:26:03,621

- Where everybody at, yo?

- They'll be coming.

435

00:
26:03,695 -- 00:26:06,323

Are you with us, son?

436

00:
26:06,398 -- 00:26:09,265

Yeah.

437

00:
26:09,334 -- 00:26:11,962

I'm glad to see you.

438

00:
26:12,037 -- 00:26:14,335

I need somebody to lead this team.

439

00:
26:15,907 -- 00:26:16,896

I'ma make you captain.

440

00:
26:20,579 -- 00:26:23,241

- Serious?

- Yeah.

441

00:
26:25,750 -- 00:26:27,775

Oh, yeah, this is my boy Dave.

442

00:
26:27,852 -- 00:26:29,285

Dave, that's Coach Al.

443

00:
26:29,354 -- 00:26:33,484

- What's your last name, son?

- Yeah, about that, Coach...

444

00:
26:33,558 -- 00:26:36,755

he don't really speak too much,

but he play that D.

445

00:
26:38,530 -- 00:26:41,727

- JJ.

- Carl, man.

446

00:
26:44,035 -- 00:26:48,199

I know it's crazy out there,

off this court.

447

00:
26:50,108 -- 00:26:51,871

But this blacktop right here...

448

00:
26:54,879 -- 00:26:56,779

is your sacred ground.

449

00:
26:59,184 -- 00:27:01,982

When you're here...

450

00:
27:02,053 -- 00:27:03,418

you're safe.

451

00:
27:05,123 -- 00:27:08,422

We're gonna be small,

452

00:
27:08,493 -- 00:27:10,120

but we're gonna be tough.

453

00:
27:11,863 -- 00:27:14,297

I just need you to dig deep.

454

00:
27:14,366 -- 00:27:17,392

Deep.

455

00:
27:17,469 -- 00:27:20,905

- I know you boys can do it.

- Yes, sir, Coach.

456

00:
27:20,972 -- 00:27:24,032

All right. Let's get to work.

457

00:
27:24,109 -- 00:27:27,636

Ready. Stay low.

Short chop step.

458

00:
27:28,680 -- 00:27:30,011

This a-way.

459

00:
27:30,081 -- 00:27:34,142

We're a little shorthanded.

Five players.

460

00:
27:34,219 -- 00:27:37,552

So you'll have to be

twice as good to compete.

461

00:
27:37,622 -- 00:27:41,456

That means you'll have

to train twice as hard.

462

00:
27:41,526 -- 00:27:44,188

j& Life is hard,

but we gotta keep livin' j&

463

00:
27:44,262 -- 00:27:46,287

j& Once upon a time we was chillin' j&

464

00:
27:46,364 -- 00:27:48,264

j& Now we dodgin' fallin' ceilings j&

465

00:
27:48,333 -- 00:27:49,425

j& After the storm passed j&

466

00:
27:49,501 -- 00:27:51,469

j& And I still hear j&

467

00:
27:51,536 -- 00:27:53,527

[police radio chatter]

468

00:
27:55,573 -- 00:27:58,167

j& Hungry with hunger,

feeling delirious j&

469

00:
27:58,243 -- 00:28:00,711

j& And I wonder if the Congress

is hearing this... j&

470

00:
28:00,779 -- 00:28:03,111

Excuse me.

Can I get one?

471

00:
28:03,181 -- 00:28:05,240

We will have pride in our playing.

472

00:
28:05,316 -- 00:28:08,479

Our discipline and cohesiveness

473

00:
28:08,553 -- 00:28:10,145

will make us competitive.

474

00:
28:10,221 -- 00:28:13,384

I'm sorry.

Would two be all right?

475

00:
28:13,458 -- 00:28:15,551

I got a team of boys

I'm coaching.

476

00:
28:15,627 -- 00:28:17,094

[Phone ringing]

477

00:
28:17,162 -- 00:28:18,629

- Dayna:
Al?

- Hey, Dayna.

478

00:
28:18,697 -- 00:28:20,255

So I saw the house yesterday.

479

00:
28:20,331 -- 00:28:24,631

- How is it?

- Needs a little bit of work.

480

00:
28:24,703 -- 00:28:26,193

Just a little work?

481

00:
28:26,271 -- 00:28:28,637

Oh, come back and get us.

I'm ready to go.

482

00:
28:28,707 -- 00:28:30,641

- Come on.

- I'm gonna come back soon.

483

00:
28:30,709 -- 00:28:32,233

I'll be back soon.

484

00:
28:32,310 -- 00:28:34,175

- All right?

- Okay.

485

00:
28:34,245 -- 00:28:35,735

All right.

486

00:
28:35,814 -- 00:28:37,873

j& Begging for change,

and a hope for the future j&

487

00:
28:37,949 -- 00:28:39,109

j& Soak up the rain j&

488

00:
28:39,184 -- 00:28:40,549

j& And let the spirits start to move you j&

489

00:
28:40,618 -- 00:28:41,880

j& Release the pain j&

490

00:
28:41,953 -- 00:28:43,511

j& And the stress afflicted to you j&

491

00:
28:43,588 -- 00:28:46,523

j& Never dreamt a hurricane

would do it to us... j&

492

00:
28:46,591 -- 00:28:49,185

Appreciate it.

493

00:
28:49,260 -- 00:28:52,024

j& A vision of a third world

country on first sight j&

494

00:
28:52,097 -- 00:28:55,032

j& Can't believe my own folks

called us refugees j&

495

00:
28:55,100 -- 00:28:57,625

j& Trying to write us off

like we ain't worthy to be j&

496

00:
28:57,702 -- 00:28:59,693

j& The rain comes falling... j&

497

00:
28:59,771 -- 00:29:01,398

Daddy!

498

00:
29:05,376 -- 00:29:07,367

Hey.

499

00:
29:13,451 -- 00:29:15,351

[Gasps]

Al, why didn't you tell me?

500

00:
29:15,420 -- 00:29:16,785

I tried to.

501

00:
29:16,855 -- 00:29:19,016

Didn't know how.

502

00:
29:19,090 -- 00:29:22,423

My baby's room.

503

00:
29:27,665 -- 00:29:31,066

[Crying]

Oh, my grandmother's vanity.

504

00:
29:31,136 -- 00:29:34,003

Ohh.

505

00:
29:34,072 -- 00:29:35,630

Look at this.

506

00:
29:35,707 -- 00:29:39,507

Alana, you're not supposed

to be in here.

507

00:
29:39,577 -- 00:29:41,340

Al, just let her see it.

508

00:
29:41,412 -- 00:29:44,245

- Put this on.

- We can't save nothing.

509

00:
29:51,623 -- 00:29:54,217

Don't touch that.

It's got mold on it.

510

00:
29:54,292 -- 00:29:56,487

All right?

511

00:
29:56,561 -- 00:29:59,462

[Sobs]

512

00:
29:59,531 -- 00:30:02,091

I used to rock you

to sleep in that chair
