It's very simple.

Santa could talk all night

about his two favorite subjects:

Basketball and me.

But the same style of play

that would make people scream

and stay in Peach

twenty years later,

gave to sleep

major technical of the country.

Pete See, for example.

Right here in my house,

have the guardian of the future.

It can act in a blink of an eye

,

and let the defense

scratching his head.

Of course, a game

so worthless

if you have five players

on the court that do work.

Otherwise...

is like talking to the wind.

Understand?

Hey! Good story, right?

Pistol Pete and Moose!

Dr. Pepper, two!

Let me see, Myron.

Very Good, Pete, that's right.

I am teaching the Moose.

It will achieve

a scholarship!

The Moose?

It is the Moose.

He is starting well.

The attention of the media is the key.

He is playing for the best state of the team.

And that team is this, Mr. Carl?

Myron, does not come with this.

You know very well.

Believe me I know it.

You and your silly ideas.

What?

He thinks the Lions should

play with Cleveland.

He says it's the best

State team.

A black team?

Is not hilarious?

Let's play.

It's just a dream, Pete.

That's it.

They are the best or not?

Of course they are!

Too young to know the defeat

Ajuventude also has weaknesses

We can not measure heart and soul

Just keep them under control

When we know our road

We will forward

for that plan

A fine line divides

Facing the fear or flee

From dream to the destination

Double or nothing.

This is the fifth

'double or nothing'.

Wait until tomorrow, Pete.

In life only is there no inside or outside

There is a burning desire in us

That shines all night

Do not be discouraged

Keep in mind your dream

During the

nightmares of his life

Do not be discouraged

There is no place for souvenirs

There are today or tomorrow

In difficult times

Choose continue

Some live only to see the day

Others live for their dreams

never feel the heat

, as you

There is a distance in his hand

From dream to the destination

Now, there is nothing more

Do not be discouraged

There is no victory without a fight

He's eating you alive

, Walker!

Walk, finish him!

Ok Combined..

Half an hour.

Are you kidding?

He can in an hour.

What's going on?

I saw your car out front.

We are making a bet with Maravich.

He has to turn the ball

finger for an hour.

Start when the pointer

the second hand is at 12.

Stay here,

girls if they want

see something funny.

One for the money, two for the show

.

Come on. Prepare,

point, and fire!

Come on!

Look at this, folks.

Come on, Pete.

Come on, Pete, focus.

Come on, Pete!

Enough!

I can not!

Can not?

I can not stop.

Come on, Pete!

Come on! You can!

He's getting tired

, Buddy,

is getting tired.

You can! Come on, Pete!

Hey, where you going?

Can you, Mr. Peter.

Where did you learn to drive?

Come on, Pete! You can!

15 seconds!

You did it!

Nine, eight,

seven, six, five,

four, three, two, one!

Your tricks will end

soon, Petey.

Okay! Hey, judge!

In your face!

They find that it's cool?

He told me

you are a banana.

Said yes. I heard.

Said you was a banana.

!

Nice move!

Thank you!

You're crazy, judge!

Pete!

We are watching the same game?

# 5...

Expected, Press.

It is cold.

Call a physician.

How do you feel?

I'll be fine.

Let me see.

It was a difficult game, right?

The doctor said you

had a mild concussion.

This makes me remember when

played for Pittsburgh Ironmen.

They sewed me after every game.

They called us

Iron Team.

Because you were tough?

No, they could only pay

5 players.

Looking into the eyes of my father I understood.

He did not need to say anything.

Could not face the guy who hurt me

but no way he would knock me

and keep out of the game.

Sitting there, I remembered the ten games

I stayed on the bench.

I tried to pretend it did not bother me,

bothered but yes.

This was the moment of truth for me

.

A chance to make a choice

and prove him wrong.

My body said "No"

but my heart cried out: "Give a show."

They are destroying us in the marking.

We will mark by zone.

But they are attacking

out, Dad!

But they are getting underneath.

You can let

I mark the center.

Walk, lock and cuts

the bottom line.

Father, give me the ball.

Moves to me.

Pete, what is

doing here?

You can not enter.

Mom, I could play this game

blindfolded.

Let him play, Helen.

We can become more violent in

marking, technical.

Walk, when I die

you stay in my place.

But as this, be quiet.

Gave to understand?

Yes, sir.

Look!

Pistol, Pistol,

Pistol, Pistol

All right, son?

Yes, sir.

Walk, go to the bank.

Who will score the

center for you?

Walk, how old are you?

Eighteen.

Either until the nineteen live?

Yes, sir.

So do what you're told

!

Let's finish them. One, two, three...

Lions!

Pistol! That's it!

Pistol, Pistol,

Pistol, Pistol

Exchange, exchange!

Pass, watch out!

One, two, three... Lions!

There's more chicken and

pod if they want!

Thank you, Carl.

Need muscles for the final,

and green beans is good to give

muscles.

Said the same thing about

cauliflower.

Want to get high, do not you?

Yes, sir.

You never heard of

a tall guy called Pod?

Father!

Myron! Iced tea to the table

I'm coming,

Carl. Thank U.

Hello, you guys.

I felt the smell of chicken

Myron a mile away.

And the taste is even better!

Good that appeared.

Pull up a chair.

Good that invited me.

Nobody does fried chicken

as Myron.

Thank you, Mr. Vern.

I know Myron some 12 years /

when he cut my grass.

Yes, sir. It's true.

Since 1949, when I worked

for you in

Division Street.

Doctor Pepper,

on my own.

Thank you, Carl.

Myron, prepares another

meat portion.

They are very kind to me.

Will not ask for a loan

, are they?

You're busy

after dinner?

Josephine has a date

missionary in the church.

I'm free.

What's on your mind?

State championship.

Not official.

What?

Tonight, we'll

take you to the future.

I hope that explains it here.

Go figure in a minute or two.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen

,

are welcome to

Cleveland High School.

What is this?

Press, care

with the wallet.

Prepare for the Cleveland Kings

and its captain, Joe Pro!

You are feeling, Vern?

It's show time.

My parents are turning

in the tomb, for sure.

Okay, okay.

Very well, very well.

So? You did not say much.

Whatever I say:

this is the

future of basketball?

You are who you say.

Now Press, please.

Okay, can at least admit

that Cleveland is good?

I can agree.

I think they can beat you.

What is the point, coach?

The point is that you have the opportunity

to stand out on this side of the country.

Basketball

have to walk in this direction.

You also felt it there.

Are you crazy?

Are you afraid of?

Are you saying that black

are better than us?

I'm saying it's time to change.

If you use the points

strong style,

and add their style

- and you have everything.

Even the league you want so long.
