to take some time to"-
- Huh?
- You know what?
Run the play again
till you get it right.
Run it!
Come on, guys.
Ladies, I'm not seeing none of those "R!"
You know.
I ain't seein' none of that.
Let's go.
Come on, people.
Guys, communicate out there.
You gotta know each other
like the back of your hand.
Come on! Communicate!
Teamwork!
- Huh?
- What?
I didn't say stop playin'.
Communicate out there.
Okay? Now you have to talk.
Ellis?
- Let's go, guys. Move the ball.
- Come on! Come on!
Ellis.
Shag 'em and bag 'em.
All right,
remember, Ellis.
You invited me here.
This is all your fault. What's up?
- You got a problem, son?
- You always pick on me!
I'm the best player on the team,
and all you ever do is ride me!
Okay, you got me
fair and square.
- I do something wrong, you yell.
- And I wonder why that is.
Even if I do it right,
you yell at me to do it better.
Hey, kid, you-you got a gift.
Okay? You got potential.
You can actually be someone.
You got what it takes, man.
You get your teammates involved,
guess what? You win.
Man, you know what?
You remind me a lot of myself.
The whole showboat,
basketball, and skills.
You and your mama, that's all you got.
Comin' up, that's all I had.
And we didn't live
in the best neighborhood.
It was sort of like
the neighborhood you live in.
I just wanna see you
do good, man.
That's all.
Coach, I got a problem.
If you don't say anything,
they can't make me testify against you.
- I got good lawyers. What?
- No, no, no.
I- I just got this letter
that says I can't play ball.
Won't let you
play basketball? Why?
It says I'm
academically in-eligible.
What's academically
inel-el-legible?
Academically ineligible.
That's what I said.
Academically illegible. I'm illegible.
Well, I'm your coach.
I'm not your guidance counselor, okay?
I can't believe
I'm doin' this.
- What subject did you fail?
- Math.
Uh-oh. Ooh!
Whoa!
- Add this up. Add those up.
- But I don't-
I can't teach
Big Mac math.
- Why not? You scared of her?
- Of course.
Well, so am I, man,
but you got to be brave.
- Take one for the team.
- You?
I didn't think
you were scared of anything.
Hey, courage is just, uh,
well-concealed fear.
That's all.
You got to be brave, man.
You got to stick out your chest,
get mean! Get bad! You know?
Give me the face.
What's the face? What's the face?
Your mean face.
- Huh?
- Grr.
Give me some growls, not "Grr. "
- Holler back.
- Holler back.
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
We gonna work on that.
You got it.
We gonna work on that.
You got it.
Look, I don't think
I can do this, Coach.
Do you wanna be scared
the rest of your life, son?
No.
Big Mac?
I would love
to teach you math.
Aw. See?
She's a sweet, young lady.
Ow!
You tell anyone
I'm studyin'...
and I'll end you!
Ow! Ow, ow, ow!
First away game today, Walsh.
Where's the bus driver?
Hello, Roy.
Don't forget to
fill up the tank.
You serious?
No.
Yeah, I'm serious.
S-M-E-L-T-E-R-S!
When it comes to basketball,
we are the best! Say what?
S-M-E-L-T-E-R-S!
When it comes to basketball,
there is no contest! Say what?
S-M-E-L-T-E-R-S!
When it comes to basketball,
there is no contest!
Guys, look like we're gonna
- Okay? Another loss.
- Lighten up, Coach.
Why you all mad
all the time?
You know, it takes more muscles
to frown than to smile.
Great.
How am I supposed to win a couple
of games when I can't get us there?
Out here with a tire,
and I got a doggone suit on.
- I can't believe this!
- We should help him.
These shoes were 200 bucks.
- I ain't goin' nowhere.
- Then stay in the van then.
Yeah, I'm dressed for the occasion.
- Well, I'm gonna help him.
- Me too.
- I guess I'll help.
Why me?
What-What have I possibly done?
Huh? Oh, I'm a mentor
to the kids.
- That's right. I don't know
how to change a tire.
- Hey, Coach?
Wanna give us a hand,
or does teamwork only apply to players?
Newirth, lean your head forward
so we can get the weight on the tire.
Yo, come on. Let's get out of here.
Smelters suck!
All right. Okay.
Everybody good?
All right.
Let's go play some basketball.
- All right!
- Let's go. Whoo!
Smelters,
y'all go warm up.
And work on that pick-and-roll. And I don't
wanna see y'all at that Gatorade thing, man...
drinkin' it like it's Kool-Aid.
One Love, let me
holler at you for a second.
Look, I appreciate all the flavor
that One Love's got goin' on.
I understand, man.
It's cool.
But you gotta share the spotlight,
you know?
Most of the nights when Jordan
had-had huge numbers, the Bulls lost.
You so worried about lookin' good, you're gonna
wind up turnin' into a Dennis Rodman.
Dennis Rodman!
I'm not sayin', like,
that's a good thing...
but get out there, work hard, man,
and get them rebounds.
You'll feel good about that,
and you'll feel good about the game.
So what you're saying is that...
I'm not really good.
No, man. I'm not sayin' that.
I'm sayin' the opposite of that.
I'm sayin' you're so good,
I wanna give you these.
Yeah, these are my most prized possession.
Magic Johnson gave me these.
Hey, man, I won every game
I wore 'em in.
I-
Just don't tell nobody.
You know, folks, they get a little envious
when your jump shot's like that.
I promise.
Well, well. If it isn't
Fox Sports' turkey of the week.
You're lookin' good, Roy.
Larry and I are here
scoutin' the Pioneers.
They're our only real
competition in this league.
Wait. Is that a girl
on your team?
Girls can't play
basketball.
What did you-
- Somebody get the ice.
- What for?
Look, I know you don't like
to back down from a fight...
but real power is about bein' respected,
not just crackin' heads.
Think about it.
- All right.
- Hey.
Let's go. Let's go.
Do your thing. Hey.
Hey. I heard what you said to Keith.
I was wrong about you.
- And I'm sorry.
- Sorry?
Sorry and
"Let's go out on a date" sorry?
'Cause I don't give out
pity dates.
But times have changed,
and I can make an exception.
Wow. You know,
you got a pretty smile.
Look, I'm gonna take
the Smelts out to get a Slurpee.
Okay? I'm gonna have 'em home by 8:00.
Can I call you?
Pump your brakes
and watch your temper...
'cause I'm still
watching you, Roy.
And I'm still
watchin' you.
The Smelters apparently abandoning
their usual strategy...
of getting scored on, and instead
choosing to score themselves.
Yes. Coach Roy clearly
shaking things up...
using his new
ingenious scoring offense.
- Good word.
- Thanks.
Let's go, guys.
Hands up, all right?
Hands up. Hands up, guys.
Let's go!
Come on. I want hands up.
Hands up! Let's go, guys!
Hands up!
Time out. Time out, guys.
You know what?
Guys, keep your hands up out-
You know what? Hands up.
Everybody, hands up.
Okay? Yeah.
A little of that.
- Okay.
- Oh, sweet mother, that's hot! Oh! Oh!
Oh, y'all think it's funny?
Y'all think it's funny?
