Children usually prefer a teddy bear.

It's hard to be a child seeking

adult dream.

In all the pain and confusion

, I knew

I had to continue

seeking my dream,

for my father and me,

even more nobody understood

what was going on in me.

When the excitement and pressure

dominated me,

I plunged the years

Dad had taught me.

Control at your fingertips,

Followed by wrist flexion.

Control at your fingertips,

followed by wrist flexion.

Control at your fingertips,

followed by wrist flexion.

In those lonely nights,

my father exercises the

helped me to continue.

Control at your fingertips,

followed by wrist flexion.

Some people seek reasons to dislike you.

Four weeks have passed since

I attained

Buddy's face.

I still felt alone

like a fish upstream.

Hey, Elf, would

is allowed to carry

basketball

in the hallway?

Eighth grade...

Okay. As you know,

every day this quarter

ask students to tell

your dreams for the future.

Peter, now it's your turn.

My dream is to get a scholarship

university to play basketball.

Class! That's enough.

Continue, Peter.

And I'll be the first man to win

a million dollars playing

basketball professionally.

Hey, hey!

Also want to play in the first team

and earn a range of best player

of basketball ever.

You can sit,

Peter. Thank you.

I...

wanted to talk to you about Pete.

Look... or he is good

for the team or not.

But if you're using Pete

only to train your players,

then it is more ignorant than I thought

.

Hold on, mate,

you are passing the limit now.

I'm really?

Just want to know

Because you are not putting

Pete to play.

He needs to mature, Press.

Mature. He has more discipline

and maturity that his first team.

And that includes Buddy, his son.

Press, we will not take it personally

.

Of course, your child

has some talent,

it just needs to be controlled and cut

.

But when you have a good horse,

arises him to compete

, Vern.

Technical, not

wanted to say this,

but this appears to me

pressing.

Well, go ahead and tell

because

I would give any thing to know

what's going on

on his head.

Well, your child

involved in problems.

I'm listening.

He learned to play

like that with blacks.

I saw him playing the

other side of the rail.

I hate to tell you this,

but I think you

needed to know.

Of course, this kind of thing works

with Globe Trotters,

but in a real game...

you saw what happened when

I put to play.

He almost broke the nose of Buddy!

You are joking, technical.

I think your son

should take that pass.

The only game that Pete

know is instinctively

it will not stop

for 10 minutes

thinking in the pass,

he will not give

no warning.

Not understand what I'm saying?

He knew Buddy

was free, he knew!

Pete has bids

ever seen,

and you're chaining

a born winner.

Why do not you

the loose, huh?

Why do not

gives you a chance?

What are you doing, Dad?

"Man to man", or "zone"?

Shut Walk!

Man to man.

Ok 'Man on

man.'. Come on.

One, two, three, Lions!

Oh, please! Lock

there and rebounds!

Pete!

How are you feeling?

Well

Damn, look at that pass!

I thought you would get.

Look blocking and rebounds.

A rebound is too much to ask?

Pete!

Knew is not it?

How?

The pass for Buddy.

I think so.

How did you know

he was free?

Only knew.

Okay, can sit.

Pete enters the

place of Walker.

Hey, will you mark me?

Cannfield, that does not

is the son of Maravich?

Is.

's Killing them, Pete.

Calm, Maravich!

Hey, kid!

Where did you learn to shoot like that?

In the backyard.

Know flinging the

waist like a gunslinger?

Thank you.

Father!

Hi!

What are you doing here?

I was thinking about the victory of yesterday.

Have you read the papers?

No

Should have read.

Listen to this.

The basketball team of Daniel High School

guaranteed entertainment last night,

thanks to the talent of a

eighth-grader,

Pete Maravich.

Daniel High School gym did not see much movement

from the prom

closure of football.

The team traditionally

formed by high school students

led by Buddy Pendleton

gained new air with the small

Maravich leading the pack.

He did not lead anything, Dad!

What matters is that we are winning

.

It gets worse.

Sometimes, the

fellow Pistol Pete...

"Pistol Pete".

What business is that of "Pistol Pete"?

It is a stage name

as Houdini.

Can you believe this sh*t?

If you want to say something, say it!

I want Maravich

off the team.

We need to drive the team

and no one likes him.

Why not?

Now father,

it's a boy

silly eighth grade

and we are high school.

And the tradition?

What about her?

Always scale senior students.

As I said, what matters

is the column wins and losses.

Was even thinking in scale it.

Instead of whom?

In Walk or yours.

I know people are saying that we have a chance

in the state semifinals,

and this will not happen to the Maravich

dividing the team.

I'll think about it, son.

Freezes him today, Dad.

It would be the best decision.

We give you all the support.

Mainly Walker.

Had started playing a few weeks ago

and the school was winning,

But wanted to improve my game.

How to do this?

My father taught me.

Want to try?

All day I went to College Clemson

and Dad handed me some new training

who called Task Basketball,

the only task

I like to do.

One day the Moose

came to me.

It seems he wanted a scholarship

much as I, and was willing

put at risk its reputation

with the team.

I decided to give you an introduction

to see if it was

even a dreamer.

Try this. My father

calls "blowback."

There is no one to show us the way

Together we are

We are the dreamers

really believe

encourage each other

to continue

We wink

E:

in our dreams are heroes

We dream the same thing

We pray all night

protection

Side by side, we will see life

Creating the future

This day will come

Not so far

Venceremos together

We are the dreamers

really believe

We encourage each other

to continue

We are the dreamers

really believe

encourage each other

to continue.

Okay Other than that my father taught

is the "Booty fast. "

You can try, Moose.

Place your hands as if it were

draw their pistols.

Clap in front and

catch the ball behind you.

Focus, and

whatever,

not pay attention to me.

I do this.

See the speed of the Walk.

Are you ready?

Barnes. You try, CD.

Okay. Do not pay attention to me

.

Hey, Buddy. Come

try. You can.

I do not do circus acts.

I gamble Pete

can do.

Look.

Had not yet conquered all,

but Sandy seemed to support me,

even from a distance.

Now see what happens

this attack.

The side is the light trap

about this man,

while the owners go out at the same time.

One here, another there.

Do not let him

tire your ears.

You can go home

whenever they want.

Honey, have some thing

burning?

The pivot crosses the lane,

makes a light trap

the defender while the other side

crosses the bottom line.

I'm not cooking anything.

Then find something.

Watch now.
