Just Wright Page #9

everybody counted you out,

including your own team.

Not even your own doctor thought

you'd make it back

before the end of the season, but you did.

And now the Nets

are the Eastern Conference champions.

How in the world did you do it?

Two words,

Leslie Wright.

The physical therapist

that helped you out, right?

He just said Leslie's name.

Hold on, hold on.

She did more than that, Stuart.

A lot more.

You know, she saw something in me

that I didn't even see in myself.

She believed in me so much,

she practically willed me back

to the game.

Yeah, it was a lot of hard work,

but even when I was in pain

and wanted to quit,

she wouldn't let me.

Instead, Leslie, she made me laugh.

Somehow she made

the worst three months of my life

the best three months of my life.

I wouldn't be here without her.

She sounds special, man.

Yeah. She is.

I'm sorry, man,

there's someplace I need to be.

Wait... Scott...

Wait.

- Wait, Scott, wait.

- I'm sorry, babe. This is not gonna work.

No. Scott, I know.

I understand.

She's in Philadelphia.

Thank you.

And if that's not enough,

the best practice facility,

great coaching staff,

me and Andre lguodala.

So, what do you think?

- Let me have a day or two.

- That's fair.

- Thank you.

- All right. Hope to see you.

All right.

Hey.

- Leslie, I want to talk to you.

- What are you doing here?

Look, I know you didn't want to see me,

- but I need...

- You're right, I don't. Why are you here?

For the same reason

I'm willing to leave the Nets.

I'm in love with you. I know that now.

No, what you know now

is that the woman

that you were gonna marry

is not the woman you thought she was.

So now here you are, looking for Plan B.

Huh? You want your best friend,

your cheerleader,

that was there for you

when the chips were down?

Well, guess what, Scott,

I don't want to be Plan B.

And I won't be that,

even for Scott McKnight.

Listen to me, Leslie, listen.

You're not my fallback plan.

I'm not here 'cause things

didn't work out with Morgan.

Be stubborn all you want, but I know you.

- You don't know me.

- I know you love me.

I know those feelings

didn't conveniently fade away

'cause you're mad at me.

And you have every right to be.

But I'm not leaving these grounds

without you.

I'm not waking up another morning

without being able to look at you

next to me.

Leslie, you're just right for me.

And if I have to move to Philadelphia

or to Cleveland

or wherever I got to go, I am.

You're kidding me, right?

You're kidding me.

You're gonna make a call

while I'm pouring out my heart to you?

Tim? Leslie Wright.

Is that offer still on the table?

Great.

Well, you have a new Nets trainer.

I love you.

I love you, too.

- Scott McKnight sucks!

- Sit down, sit down!

My husband will flush your whole squad.

- Yeah, right.

- Sit down!

Wow, girl, I didn't know you could

still talk trash and work for the team.

I'm not talking trash.

Scott will flush their whole squad.

Speaking of which,

I better get back to work.

- Well, thanks for inviting me.

- Any time.

- All right, go do you, girl.

- Bye.

Let's go, let's go!

Yeah!

Right here. Camera, right here.

Why're you the only Net smiling

when you lost by six points?

- 'Cause I'm the only Net that has you.

- Oh, baby, you so sweet.

I don 't even care no more

That's my word, that's for sure

I don 't even cry no more

That's absurd, I'm so cured

I'm so secure with who I is

Oops, who I am

And I'm a champion for sure, boy

I'm a champ

Oh, yes, I am

But what I thought about

When those people put me down

They can laugh for now

But watch it

when I turn this thing around

I know, I believe

Ain 't nobody gonna do it but me

I'm fly, no lie

I'm the truth

Baby, ask me why

- I'm a champion

- I'm a champion

- I'm a champion

- I'm a champion

- I'm a champion

- I'm a champion

I'm gonna blow your mind

- I'll hold you close

- Oh, so close

- Squeeze you tight

- Squeeze you tight

The next time that I see you

I'm gonna tell you I love you

- Cross my heart

- Cross your heart

And I hope to die

The next time that I see you

I grew up talking Chi-Town slang

Never played soccer

but loved the kick game

Love chicks with thick frames

and big-lipped dames

Might see 'em on my arm

'cause I charm like thick chains

Same section,

all girls they be dressing for checks

That's when she stepped in front of me

Light skin, long hair

Like the school days

Wanna be a big ol'... Whoo!

Let's just say she was blessed

She had got it from her mamma

God ga ve her the rest

I'm gonna blow your mind

- I'll hold you close

- Oh, so close

- Squeeze you tight

- Squeeze you tight

The next time that I see you

I'm gonna tell you I love you

- Cross my heart

- Cross your heart

- And I hope to die

- Hope to die

The next time that I see you

We conversating

Talk about life and stuff

Told her that tonight

was just right for us

Boldly, she told me,

"Oh, you 've got moves "

Her friends said,

"Really, no, he 's a good dude "

Could it be

things go the way that they should?

From the unexpected

love can be understood

And in the real game,

only love can win

I've got the win,

'cause I fell in love with a friend

I'm gonna blow your mind

- I'll hold you close

- Oh, so close

- Squeeze you tight

- Squeeze you tight

The next time that I see you

I'm gonna tell you I love you

- Cross my heart

- Cross your heart

- And I hope to die

- Hope to die

The next time that I see you

I'm gonna blow your mind

- I'll hold you close

- Oh, so close

- Squeeze you tight

- Squeeze you tight

The next time that I see you

I'm gonna tell you I love you

- Cross my heart

- Cross your heart

- And I hope to die

- Hope to die

The next time that I see you

I'm gonna blow your mind

- I'll hold you close

- Oh, so close

- Squeeze you tight

- Squeeze you tight

The next time that I see you

I'm gonna tell you I love you

- Cross my heart

- Cross your heart

- And I hope to die

- Hope to die

The next time that I see you

The next time that I see you
