- You made it!

It's the only way I'm gonna see you.

- It's been, like, three months.

- I know.

- Look at your hair.

- Scott hates weaves.

- Well, that's different.

- Come on, let me show you around.

Isn't it incredible?

Yeah, girl, it's like you been on tour,

like you play for the Nets.

Well, I gotta stay close to my man.

I mean, these women out here

are treacherous.

- I hear that.

- You have no idea.

Anyways, let's go upstairs,

and I want to show you around,

give you a tour.

And this is the master bedroom.

Wow.

And we're thinking

about putting the nursery over here,

- so the baby can be close...

- Baby? Are you pregnant?

Oh, no, but we plan to start

a family right away.

Morgan, you've known Scott

for, like, three seconds.

Already you trying to get pregnant?

We're in love.

And when you're in love, you know,

you get married. You start a family.

You? In love?

He changed me, Leslie.

I know it's hard to believe,

but he made me want to be a better me.

Morg, this is me you're talking to,

remember? I know you.

Look, I'll admit it, okay.

I went after Scott

for all the wrong reasons.

Mmm-hmm.

But he got inside my heart.

You're serious?

- You happy for me?

- Of course.

Well, let me show you

the rest of the house.

Wow. So this is how y'all been living, huh?

- What's that?

- Oh! No idea.

It's Scott's personal space and off-limits.

I just hope he's not into anything weird,

you know.

'Cause always the brothers

with the secret rooms

you gotta worry about.

Yeah, I heard about them secret rooms.

Can I have your attention,

everybody?

Hey, take the music down.

Take it down, everybody.

Take it down.

First, I want to thank everyone

for coming out,

helping me celebrate being voted

to represent the East in the All-Star Game.

Five years in a row!

I have a lot to be thankful for.

Great friends.

Great mom.

And the icing on the cake,

thanks to some trouble at a gas station,

I'm getting to wake up next to

the most beautiful woman on the planet.

And with so many of my good friends

here tonight,

I thought what better moment

than to ask the woman I love...

Oh, my God.

- Morgan Nicole Alexander, will you...

- Yes! Yes, I'll marry you!

Oh, baby.

Oh.

Wow.

See that?

Oh, my God!

Mom. We're going to be a family.

Honestly, man, congratulations.

I mean, you did well. She is gorgeous.

Like, l...

Thanks, man.

- I know you want me to be your best man.

- Yeah, okay.

- I'm serious. I mean, I mean...

- Angelo.

- Would you excuse us?

- Yes, ma'am.

Gotta go check on the wife anyway.

All right, brother, congrats.

Thanks. I'll see you in a minute.

- I know. I know.

- What do you know?

- I should have told you before, but I just...

- Why? You're a grown man.

Grown men do what they want to do.

But you're still my baby, so I need to ask.

Anything.

You sure you're not moving too fast?

You've only known her a little while.

She's different, Ma.

Ah.

Really. She's very special.

Mmm?

Don't worry so much.

Can you be happy for me?

Come here.

Mmm.

We welcome you to the lzod Center,

as we get ready

for the NBA All-Star Game.

Hi, everybody, Marv Albert,

Kenny "The Jet" Smith,

"The Czar" Mike Fratello,

and we are just moments away

from the opening tip-off.

The stars of stars are right here

in this building.

You have the premiere center,

Dwight Howard,

prolific scorer, Dwyane Wade.

But the majority of the people here

want to see Scott McKnight.

You're unbelievable

And you're so unbelievable

I just wanna make jams

To pack the clubs 'n ' stadiums

With people of all types

While makin ' the crowd hype

Five minutes left in

the fourth quarter and the East is up by 12.

Well, they gotta go

to McKnight. He's been killing.

Twenty-six points,

- eight assists, four steals.

He's been phenomenal.

Here's McKnight,

off the spin... And he's down.

Looks like a knee.

That doesn't look good.

Marv, I think that's hurt.

He's hurt... He's hurt for real.

Yo, Scott. Scott, you all right?

He may have hit

a wet spot.

I don't like the way that knee buckled.

Let me tell you, generally,

guys don't get up from injuries like this.

I hate to say it.

It doesn't look like he's gonna get up.

Scott! Come on.

Come on, baby, get up!

You'll be all right.

- ls he gonna be all right?

- I don't know. I don't know.

Come on, Scott. Come on.

- Hi.

- What's the story, Dr. Taylor?

Well, you suffered

a torn posterior cruciate ligament,

which is one of four ligaments

critical to the stability of the knee.

With some hard work

and a little bit of luck,

we might have you back in action

by training camp.

Training camp?

No, we're in contract negotiations.

I gotta have him ready for the Playoffs.

Look, you need to be prepared

for the possibility

that Scott's NBA career could be over.

- There's just no way to be certain.

- His career could be over?

If rehab doesn't work,

there's no way he can play in the NBA

on an unstable knee.

He needs to begin

rehabilitation immediately,

and I mean aggressively.

- You okay, baby?

- Easy, easy. Here you go.

- Careful.

- So, I got a physical therapist

- coming by the house tomorrow.

- I hope he's good.

No, it's a she. Bella Goldsmith.

Tim said she specializes in sports injuries.

Bella Goldsmith,

she's the best in the league.

Yeah, they call her "The Miracle Worker."

We're not leaving anything to chance.

- Good.

- I'll call you later.

- Morgan, you take good care of him.

- All right.

- You'll have your phone on, right?

- Always. Always.

Okay. Take it slow, baby.

- This is your lT band here.

- Mmm-hmm.

So you really want to stretch this,

maybe foam a little.

Okay.

- Hey, baby.

- Hey.

Hey, this is Bella Goldsmith,

The Miracle Worker.

- I don't know about all that. Hi.

- Hi.

- Bella.

- Morgan, his fiancee.

So, I have a romantic dinner

planned for us.

And then we can do

whatever you want afterwards, okay?

- Yeah. We'll figure it out.

- Hip down.

- Breathe.

- Well, I'll leave you guys to it.

- Yeah, that feels good, right there.

- All right.

I'll just...

I can do this for you,

but you have to do it on your own, too.

All right.

Relax.

There we go.

Leslie, if you could have seen this girl.

Bella Goldsmith is

one of the most respected people in this...

If I hear that one more time...

Look, some women have gay-dar.

I've got ho-dar.

And I don't care how respected she is.

He's up in the family room.

The job is basically yours.

Nelson already cleared it with the Nets.

You're not staying?

Charity event.

Oh!

Scott's mother's here. Be prepared.

The woman's a pill.

Good luck!

Because of that speed, Marv,

it's very difficult

to keep him in front ofyou.

So defenders really have

to try to be physical with him

and they frequently pick up fouls.

Not good.

Hey, I didn't even know you were here.

You know, having your leg

bent like that and not elevated

while you're chilling at home

is the worst thing you could do
