No, Calvin, not in there.

Calvin, no! Calvin!

Calvin! Calvin!

Hey.

Hey, you know what?

The maid forgot to come today

and, you know,

maybe we could go to your place?

Is someone else in here?

Because I thought

I heard some voices.

Oh, there's...Really.

There's no one in there.

Oh, my God.

Oh, where'd he come from?

You're Calvin Cambridge,

aren't you?

Oh, my God.

Are you OK?

We're gonna get you

out of these clothes

and get you some air, OK?

Oh, brother. Here we go.

Oh! You are just

the sweetest thing!

Isn't he just the sweetest thing?

Tracy, you should have told me

Calvin was your roommate.

Yeah, well,

it must have slipped my mind.

See, me and Tracy are tight.

So that's why I call him T-time.

So cute.

So, what's your nickname for Calvin,

T-time?

I don't have one yet,

but, oh, so many of them

come to mind.

Is that better, baby?

Yeah, I think T-time needs some, too.

Oh! Ha ha!

$2,000 jacket.

Gettin' water on a $2,000 jacket.

Couldn't you just eat him up?

Sorry about taking your girl.

She's not my girl,

and you didn't take her.

I don't know what it is.

It's like some type of curse.

The girls just like me.

Can we go to sleep?

Well, aren't we gonna

say our prayers?

'Cause at the home

we always say our prayers.

We're not at the home.

Well, I can't go to sleep

until I say my prayers.

Then say your prayers.

All right.

Well, aren't you gonna

say 'em with me?

Bow your head.

Bow your head.

Both:

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

If I should die before I wake,

I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Amen.

God bless Murph,

God bless Reg,

God bless Coach Wagner,

God bless Michael Jordan,

and God bless Tracy.

Amen.

Anybody that you want to bless?

A girlfriend, or your parents, maybe?

No, my parents are gone.

Hey, um...

I'm sorry.

I guess that makes you

an orphan like me.

Yeah, I guess.

Why don't you get in bed?

All right.

Good night.

There's just one thing.

Can we sleep with the light on?

'Cause at the home

we always sleep with the light on.

OK, we'll sleep with the light on.

Satisfiied?

I don't wanna hear

another sound tonight, OK?

Good night.

Oh, man.

What's the matter, Tracy?

Late night?

Yeah, real late night. Heh.

Ain't that right, Trace?

Really? How late?

See, there's this girl named Janet Kelly

came up to the room, fine as can be.

She picked me and Tracy up.

We didn't come back to the room

about 1:
00 in the morning.

He doesn't know better,

but you know the rule

about the ladies in the room,

and last time I checked,

curfew was midnight.

No, it was his snorin'

that kept me up all night.

Oh, you always got an excuse.

Look, if you think

helping him break curfew

is gonna get you

out of being his mentor,

you're mistaken...

and if you miss curfew again,

I'm gonna have

to suspend you. Got it?

Yeah, I got it.

You know what, man?

You got to learn how to chill.

Tracy, I'm so sorry.

I didn't know.

Don't worry, man.

I won't mess up again.

I promise.

Yeah, I know

it's not gonna happen again.

You know why?

Because you're gonna go your way,

and I'm gonna go my way.

Tracy, we still gonna be cool

on the court, though, right?

Man.

Um, Mr. Iverson, sir,

uh, you're one

of my favorite players.

Who are you, the mascot?

I was wondering,

may I please have your autograph, man?

Players don't ask players

for autographs.

- Player?

- After the game?

How'd he do that?

## They're playin'basketball ##

## We love that basketball ##

## They're playing basketball ##

## We love that basketball ##

## They're playin'basketball ##

Calvin Cambridge,

Not tonight.

You just need to get back

to that sandbox

where you came from.

- Sandbox?

- Yeah.

How you gonna say

I gotta go to the sandbox?

Your last name's Kidd.

Look at the back of your jersey. Look.

Relax.

See what you got.

Pat Croce:
All of a sudden,

things are clickin'for the Knights.

Ever since Calvin's arrived,

there's teamwork.

So what's is it like

for you two playing together?

Well, um, it's been, uh...

It's been great!

Really great!

## We love that basketball ##

## Now basketball is my favorite sport ##

## I like the way they dribble

up and down the court ##

## I keep it so fresh on the microphone ##

## I like no interruption

when the game is on ##

## I got the rock in my hands ##

## Ain't no tellin'

what I'm gonna do with it ##

## When I got possession,

I'm gonna have to fool with it ##

Personally, I'm worried about

steppin' on

Calvin Cambridge tonight.

## ...and fake one way ##

## Turn around and hit you

with the MJ fade-away ##

Come on, ref!

Jump ball.!

## ...passes like J-Kidd,

taking cats to the rack ##

## And I'm dunkin'

over them like T-Mac ##

## When I'm in the paint ##

## I play with that Alonzo style ##

## My favorite play is the alley-oop ##

## I like the pick-n-roll,

I like the give-n-go ##

## And it's basketball,

bow wow, let's go ##

## They're playin'basketball ##

Calvin, these people

are not your friends, OK?

They're like...

They're like a pack of tigers, you know,

chasing those things

with the stubby little horns.

You know,

you've seen those deer-like things,

and they isolate one of them,

and then they pounce!

Good to see ya.

Female Reporter:

Calvin, over here.!

Male Reporter:
Calvin.!

I've seen Calvin play,

and, uh, he's nothin'

that I can't handle.

Reg:
Thanks, Calvin.

These are great.

Wow, thanks, Calvin.

No problem.

Enjoy it, everybody.

Get Bittleman!

Reg and Murph:

Yeah, get him!

## Basketball ##

## We love that basketball ##

We have twins.

Hey.

Hey, Calvin.

Listen, man.

Uh, can I get your autograph?

Sure, Dirk.

Uh, it's actually for my niece.

What's her name?

Uh, it's, uh, Dirk.

Yes, it's Calvin Cambridge

bobblehead doll night,

but everybody's wondering

what's keeping the Knights?

"Who were the U.S. Presidents

of the 20th century?"

Can't she wait till after the game

for his homework?

No homework, no game.

But I've gotta get Cal...

You got a problem with that?

I got dogs bigger than him, man.

Look like a little chihuahua

or somethin' like that. Come on.

- Oh!

- Oh!

## They're playing basketball ##

## We love that basketball ##
