00:00Hi, welcome back to my channel.
00:02In this video, I will explain the ending of The Crossover.
00:04So, let's begin.
00:06Disney's sports drama series, The Crossover, follows the engrossing saga of Josh, Filthy
00:10McNasty, Abel and Jordan and JB, Bell, two twin brothers who aspire to become two of
00:15the greatest basketball players of all time.
00:18Filthy and JB make an elaborate plan to fulfill their aspirations as they aim to get into
00:22NBA.
00:23They realize that they should get admitted to Beacon Academy first, which will help them
00:27become professional basketball players.
00:29The first episode of the series reveals that one of the Bell brothers does make it into
00:33NBA but doesn't reveal his identity, until the end of the first season.
00:37Naturally, the viewers must be eager to know which one of the two fulfills his aspiration.
00:41Well, let us provide the answer, just to let you know this video will contain spoilers.
00:46Jordan, JB, Bell gets into NBA.
00:50The opening scene of The Crossover depicts a Bell brother playing for Los Angeles Lakers
00:54in 2031.
00:56He shoots the ball, only for the scene to cut to the present time, depicting Josh, Filthy
01:00McNasty, Bell missing the basket after shooting.
01:04Throughout the eight episodes of the first season of the series, such cuts make the viewers
01:08think that Filthy is the one who makes it into NBA, especially since he is the one who
01:11is most passionate about basketball among the two brothers.
01:15JB gets into NBA after seriously considering other areas of interest to pursue in life,
01:19especially painting.
01:21For the record, both Filthy and JB initially get drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers.
01:26The two brothers celebrate their achievements by going for a drive.
01:30During the drive, JB goes live on Instagram while Filthy is driving.
01:34The former distracts the latter with his phone, only for them to get into an accident.
01:39Although JB survives the same without any considerable injuries, Filthy gets paralyzed
01:43from his waist down, which puts an end to his basketball career.
01:47He gets forced to hang up his boots before making an appearance for Los Angeles Lakers
01:50in NBA.
01:51JB must have joined the team with a heavy heart since his unintentional actions cause
01:55the accident that stops his beloved brother from fulfilling his dream.
02:00Although it is JB who makes it to NBA, he may haven't succeeded in achieving the same
02:04without the support of his brother Filthy.
02:06The early turning point in JB's basketball career is winning the championship for his
02:10school in the wake of Filthy's suspension.
02:13When JB and his team lose all their motivation, it is Filthy who inspires them to make a comeback
02:17in the game.
02:19Filthy even stays on the sidelines to guide his brother to victory.
02:22The same victory takes JB to Beacon Academy, which must have played an integral part in
02:27the success story of JB as a professional basketball player.
02:30If there isn't Filthy to motivate and guide him, JB may have pursued painting instead
02:34of basketball.
02:36Filthy's presence and actions may have helped JB to realize how much the sport means to
02:40him, which ultimately leads him to NBA to play for a legendary team such as Los Angeles
02:44Lakers.
02:45JB also acknowledges the part Filthy has played in his life after finding the basket
02:49in the game that features in the opening scene of the series.
02:53Filthy, on the other hand, tries his best to continue encouraging his brother by coming
02:57to the games for watching the latter.
02:59He doesn't nurture any jealousy or ill will towards his brother even when his lifelong
03:03dream becomes an impossibility.
03:05Although Filthy has to stop playing basketball, he doesn't move on from the sport he loves
03:09with all his heart.
03:11When his brother emerges as a celebrated basketball player, Filthy writes and publishes a book
03:15titled Basketball Rules, in which he details several lessons about resilience.
03:20Considering the title of the book, it is safe to assume that Filthy is inspired by his father
03:24Chuck Bell's basketball rules, which helped the two brothers navigate life on and off
03:28the basketball court.
03:29Filthy, in his book, must have explained ways to overcome challenges by using basketball
03:34as a metaphor like his father did when he and his brother were children.
03:37Ironically, the Bell brother who loves basketball the most fails to make it into NBA while the
03:42other one, who wants to pursue art at one point, succeeds in making it into the grandest
03:46stage of the sport.
03:48Even though Filthy doesn't play in NBA like his brother, he survives in life by following
03:51the rules and principles of basketball.
03:54He becomes a legend of the sport without stepping onto the basketball court but by overcoming
03:58challenges in life, with the help of the aforementioned rules and principles that are applied to the
04:02sport on the court as well.
04:04That's all for now folks.
