(KENNY WHOOPS)

JERRY:
I think Jammer

has the ultimate tools

to make it to the championship round.

KENNY:
In the first round

he went off the glass

with the Tomahawk.

Let's see what he's got.

Let's go, crowd, make some noise!

Let's go crowd, clap

it up. Clap it up.

360! Oh, with the 360 dunk!

Whoa!

Beautiful! Beautiful!

KENNY:
Round two, it's

the Great White Hype.

What's he gonna do?

(CROWD CHEERS)

KENNY:
The Great White Hype from

the baseline. Reverse two hands!

(WHOOPING)

Five, six, seven, seven.

We got the Big Fella. 360!

- 360!

- Oh, please, that's nothin'.

With a pop reverse.

BELINDA:
Oh...

My goodness!

A three, a one, a two,

and another one. No love.

In the first round, he

slapped the glass in windmill,

now with a reverse off one foot!

(WHOOPING)

Whoo!

This competition is heating up!

Nine, nine, ten, ten.

There we go, much respect.

- Let's go! Let's go!

- KENNY:
Make some noise!

Out of the hand. Windmill dunk!

(KENNY WHOOPING)

All right, here we go!

Make some noise for Michael Diggs!

Let's go, kids! Make some

noise! Make some noise!

(CHANTING) Michael! Michael! Michael!

Michael! Michael! Michael!

- Michael! Michael! Michael!

- There we go.

CROWD:
Oh!

KENNY:
Tens across the

board! 360 windmill!

- Michael!

- KENNY:
Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah!

Last round, he had the 360 dunk.

What is he gonna do? Off the wall!

CROWD:
Aw!

KENNY:
Here we go. Seven

foot tall and some change.

Make some noise!

- Let's go!

- KENNY:
Out of the hand!

All right. That's it. That's it.

He's out, man. So close.

This is it. The third

and final round.

Michael Diggs!

Oh!

With the Tomahawk Sling shot!

Now that is gonna be hard

for The Jammer to beat.

JERRY:
I don't know.

We'll have to wait and see.

Michael!

All right, this is

it, our last dunk.

He needs a perfect score to win.

Make some noise for

your champ The Jammer!

BELINDA:
The moment of his

career is happening now.

KENNY:
Wiping off his

shoes, he's ready to go.

Let's go, crowd, make some noise!

Jammer! Jammer! Jammer!

Jammer! Jammer! Jammer!

He's up in the air! Oh!

Oh, my goodness!

Oh!

Ten, ten, ten!

And a perfect score. He

wins the competition!

- No way. A 40!

- All tens!

- A perfect 40!

- Wow!

That's what I'm talkin'

about winning it all.

Better go back to school, Michael.

Or better yet, jail.

Oh, yo, that's not right, man.

So what're you gonna do about it?

- That's what I thought, punk.

- CROWD:
Jammer! Jammer! Jammer!

Hey.

And your winner

of the Kenny Dobbs Dunk Competition is

The Jammer!

(CHANTING CONTINUES) Jammer! Jammer!

BELINDA:
Great effort, Michael.

Are you going to the national

championship next month in Venice Beach?

- Uh, no. I don't think so.

- But you automatically qualify.

Oh, you goin'. You goin'.

He's goin'. How you doin'?

Jerome Matthews, I'm his

agent. Nice to meet you.

- Michael.

- Pleasure to meet you.

- LISA:
Michael, it's your mom.

- What?

- She collapsed. I called 911.

- What happened?

I don't know!

Mom! Mom, you okay? Mom!

Call help! Call help!

Mom! Mom! Mom.

(SOBS) Mom.

- Is she gonna be okay?

- She had a stroke.

I'm so sorry.

She was so happy today.

Seeing me play, it was like old times.

(SIGHS)

- And then...

- I know.

Michael, but she was happy.

Listen, you better go.

It's late.

- Michael, I...

- I understand.

I appreciate you coming.

(LISA SIGHS)

NURSE:
Dr. Bruce, telephone, please.

Dr. Bruce, telephone, please.

- Yo. Where you been?

- How is she?

She had a stroke!

Is she gonna be okay?

- Where have you been?

- Around.

Around? That doesn't

cut anymore, little bro!

- Look, you ain't my daddy.

- No, I ain't your daddy.

But I'm your big brother.

I'm not lettin' you fall like I did.

Look, what do you want from me, huh?

I want you to get your life together!

If not for yourself, then

do it for Mom! That's what.

- Go to hell.

- Hell?

I've been there.

Try six years in prison, Taye.

You done? Hmm?

She loves you, man.

She told me to take care of

you if anything happens to her.

Doc, I don't want her moved.

Michael, her insurance

doesn't cover private rooms.

I'm so sorry.

How much does it cost?

Approximately $26,000 a month.

Oh, this is our V.P., Kent Ashworth.

Michael, I'm sorry.

Your insurance just doesn't

cover a private room.

(NURSE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER PA)

I'll give you the other thousand later.

What is this?

I won it yesterday.

(SOBS) God...

I just want my mother

to have another chance.

I let her down so many times.

(SOBBING)

She don't deserve me.

She don't deserve me.

I just want my mother back,

God, please! Please, God.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

What's up with you, boss?

Man. Good to see you. Always a pleasure.

For sure. For sure.

- What's wrong with you?

- It's Michael's mom.

She suffered from a stroke.

For real?

Damn.

That's crazy.

What up, boy?

I'm gonna see you inside.

Come on, baby.

There he is. There's my man.

- How you doin'?

- I'm good. Good to see you.

Come on, I'll get you guys in.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

All right, Craig Jackson is in the house!

You dig it? Yeah!

What up? What's up? What up?

What up, what up, what up, what up?

- What's up, boy?

- Hello, boy.

- How you been, man?

- Good, son.

How y'all doin'? Check it out,

man. Shout out to everybody in here.

Shout out to my boys Tray,

Money, and Harlem over there.

Garyonie and Wheezie. I see y'all.

Good to see you, bro. How you doing?

I'm good. Anything you need. Anything.

I appreciate it, man.

It's good to be here, man.

I like what you've done with the place.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- You lit it up tonight, man.

I appreciate you, fam. Thank you, man.

- Forty five points.

- Don't forget about the 12 assists.

You know how that go. Already. Yeah.

Let me get another 40, homie.

I need one. Right now.

I think you've had enough.

Girl, what's wrong with you?

Don't be snatchin' nothin'

away from me in this club.

Better watch yourself.

Out here acting crazy.

- What's wrong with you? Look at me.

- Don't touch me like that.

Don't you hear me talkin' to you?

Look at me when I'm talkin' to you.

What's wrong with you?

I just had a bad day!

Bad day?

(SCOFFS)

You seem to be havin' a lot more bad days

now that Michael and his mom is around.

Why do you care about

him and his mom so much?

- It's irritating me!

- Because she's a good woman.

A good woman? How is she a good woman?

What does she do for

you, me, or anybody else?

Look at me when I'm talkin' to you.

I just went to support him as a friend.

He won the slam dunk

competition, by the way.

A friend? Are you talkin' to me

about a slam dunk competition?

See, that's what trip me out

about these girls nowadays.

$25,000 got you hot and bothered,

ready to throw it around.

There's 25 mill over here,

baby. Don't play yourself.

- I got to go.

- Where are you going?

Out of here.

B*tch, I...

Lisa! Lisa! Lisa!

- Girl, I know you hear me talkin' to you?

- What?
