because today we are giving away

all our trade secrets...

A keystone to any chef's kitchen.

The Mandolin is made

with stainless steel...

I got ball, I got ball, I got ball.

Okay, here's a play

that we'll see what he's got.

I think it's amazing he's back

so soon after that kind of injury.

Okay, so far, so good.

Come on, Scott, pick it up, let's go.

- You know, he's gotta be a little...

- Little stiff maybe, a little stiff.

Yeah, a little stiff right now.

With Game 7 tomorrow,

do you think he's ready to play?

Did you see that?

Come on, man. Come on, man.

Come on, Scott!

Show us you're ready.

Normally he's so instinctive,

he always sees that.

So what's it gonna be?

We need him, Rod. We need him.

Yeah, we got no chance without him,

I'll tell you that.

I'm sorry, why'd you stop?

'Cause I suck.

I just started to play this thing again

a few months ago.

Wow, this is smooth.

- How many rooms you got in this house?

- A lot.

Well, go ahead, try it again.

I'm much more comfortable on the court.

Aw, go ahead and play it.

I know that song.

The more I see you

The more I need you

Ah.

How's that part go? Oh, yeah.

It grows, it grows

- We weren't that bad.

- No, we could be a lounge act.

Take this thing to Vegas.

Hey, what are you doing

up this late, anyway?

It's 3:
00 in the morning.

I should be asking you that.

You the one with the game in 16 hours.

What if I get on that floor tomorrow

- and then it's just like...

- You won't. You won't fail.

What if I do?

What if my knee goes out on me?

What if I can't play anymore?

Who would I be without basketball?

Scott McKnight. You'll still be you.

Basketball is what you do.

It's not who you are.

And no matter what happens tomorrow,

you're still a champion.

You're still an extraordinary human being.

And you'll still be Scott.

What's that?

- You don't know about that right there?

- What is it?

That right there is my surefire

"eyes closed from half-court

'swish' slam dunk"

cheer-up remedy.

It's cheering you up already, it's working.

Try one.

Marshmallows and chocolate chips?

I don't think so.

- You might like it.

- No. No, no, I'm good.

Just try one.

All right.

Mmm-hmm.

- lncredible.

- Told you.

- And I do feel better.

- See, it works.

- Let me get another one of those.

- No, you can't.

No, player. No, player, that's all you get.

- Don't be stingy now.

- No, no, the rest of these is mine.

Stop playing.

You better get some rest.

Yeah.

It is Game 7

of the Eastern Conference finals.

Hi, everybody. I'm Marv Albert,

along with "The Czar" Mike Fratello,

Kenny "The Jet" Smith.

One of these teams,

the Nets or the Miami Heat,

will leave the lzod Center

as kings of the East

and will go up against

the Western Conference champion.

- Heat!

- The big story,

Scott McKnight will be back in the lineup

- and what perfect timing for the Nets.

- Nets!

Now, if they have any chance to

make it to the NBA Finals since 2003,

it all rests on the shoulders

of their franchise player, McKnight.

- I called you, like, five times, man.

- I know. I got your messages, man.

Thanks for hollering at me.

Come on, man, you'd do the same to me

if I was going through the storm.

- Yes, sir.

- You good?

- Yeah, I'm good, I'm good, man.

- All right.

You know, if I wasn't good,

I wouldn't be here.

You better be good 'cause my game

wouldn't be the same

if I couldn't take you to the hole.

There you go! Let's go, let's go!

(CHANTlNG) Defense!

Defense! Defense! Defense!

Timeout!

- You okay?

- I'm good, I'm good.

- Be right back.

- Okay.

You are playing like you're afraid

this knee is gonna fail you. Well, it won't.

- Leslie, I'm all in...

- Listen to me!

Anything you need to do,

anything you want to do, you can do.

Believe in yourself.

You will not fail.

Come on, let's go to work.

- One, two, break!

- Together!

- Let's go. Come on.

- Let's go. Let's go.

- Let's go!

- ls he all right?

Come on, baby, come on!

Come on. Hit me.

Come on, man.

Yes! Yes! That's what I'm talking about!

That's what I'm talking about, baby!

Twelve seconds left here

in the fourth quarter.

The Nets are down by two, 106-104.

It has come down to this.

The Nets got to.

They gotta get back to that pick and roll.

Neither team with a timeout left

or a foul to give.

With the Heat up two,

they can't give up a three.

For the Nets, they've got the ball

in the right man's hands, Scott McKnight.

Here is McKnight for three. Yes!

Yeah! Yeah! Yes!

A game winner for McKnight!

And the Nets, they're headed back

to the NBA Finals!

Twenty-two points, McKnight,

coming up with the game of his life.

You think about it, that knee injury

and how much fortitude

he had to play with,

just to be on this court,

great effort by McKnight.

I don't think that one person

watching this game tonight

would have thought Scott McKnight

would be back on the court,

Iet alone hit the winning shot.

Scott! Scott! This way, Scott!

Scott, over here! Scott, over here! Scott!

Scott, over here! Scott!

Scott, phenomenal game, man.

- Phenomenal.

- Thanks, man.

You know it was a team effort, Stu.

Yeah, but you were in a zone all your own.

Well, you should have him

on the show, then.

Yes, yes. You gotta come do my show.

- Love to, man.

- Okay?

- Son, oh, I'm so proud of you.

- Thank you, Ma. Thank you, Ma.

You were great.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- No, really.

Thank you.

- She deserves a bonus, right?

- Yes.

How about dinner someplace really nice?

You better be packing something

in that wallet.

I'm not one of those salad-eating chicks.

I like her.

All right, and these people like you.

Let's go.

All right, all right.

If we leave here in the next 10 minutes

and take some side streets,

we could probably beat the traffic.

Wow.

- You are so beautiful.

- Thank you. So are you.

- Shall we?

- Yes.

I can't believe you got

Terence Blanchard. Wow.

I told you, I know people.

- I had such a good time tonight.

- Me, too. Me, too.

What is this? What...

You'll see.

- No, you didn't!

- Yeah, I did.

- No, you didn't!

- Yeah, I did.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, look at my car!

- That's not it, though.

- What?

Check out the inside.

Look.

Oh.

- What? Butterfly doors?

- It's the only way I could keep the dimple.

Eleanor. Look at you, girl.

Everything's new.

Yeah. You got a sunroof.

I got a sunroof.

When you ride out,

you can let the sun just shine on you.

I love it.

Wow, man, it's brand new.

Yes, this is brand new for you.

I don't know what to say.

Just say you'll let me be

your first passenger.

Of course.

I just can't believe this.

I'm so happy.

What can we scrape together

From our love-worn emotions?

Handfuls ofhate

And the bittersweet devotion

Who will find me under this mean sleep?

How could the clouds tease us

into thinking it might rain?

I had a mean sleep over you

And it hurts coming back to life

"Enjoy."

Enjoy, huh?
