00:09Hey everyone, it's me, Molly.
00:11Molly, up and up.
00:15Let's go.
00:16She's Molly, up and up.
00:19By plane, a sled, or snowshoe, she is ready to explore.
00:24From Cactover down to Juneau, always wanting to learn more.
00:28Together with her best friend, too, we always by her side.
00:33And Trini!
00:34Discovering the outdoors, fun adventures day and night.
00:38Come along with Molly, through wheels and fire wings.
00:42Come along with Molly, from tundra to the sand.
00:48Let's see Cho, let's go!
00:50Molly, up and up.
00:54She's Molly, up and up.
00:57Come on, let's go!
00:59Molly, up and up.
01:03She's Molly, up and up.
01:10Basketball Blues.
01:14Hey everybody, Molly here.
01:16Big news, today is the first day of basketball season!
01:23Yes, our team is the Kaia Northern Lights.
01:27Basketball's a big deal in Kaia.
01:31Woo-hoo!
01:32Let's go, Northern Lights!
01:34Oh, I hear there's going to be tough competition in Ni-Nana this year.
01:39Woo-hoo!
01:40Looking forward to seeing you knock down those three-pointers, Molly.
01:45Even Suki's crazy about basketball.
01:51And today's our first practice.
01:55Wish us luck!
02:03Are we ready for the new season?
02:06In one week, you'll be playing the Hoopsters of Danegi for the first time.
02:15They always put out a good team, so let's get going on some dribbling drills.
02:21Go, go, go!
02:24Switch hands!
02:25Go, go, go, go, go!
02:55Go, Tui!
02:57Next group!
03:06Huh?
03:07Try again.
03:14Guess I'm a little rusty.
03:17You'll shake it off in no time.
03:20You're our best shooter.
03:21Next group.
03:30Aww.
03:39Sorry.
03:40That's okay.
03:41This is so weird.
03:43I keep missing, even on a toy basket.
03:47You'll get your touch back.
03:49Just keep practicing.
03:51Hey, guys.
03:53Hi, Jay. Hi, John.
03:55Big game coming up.
03:57First time you're playing the Hoopsters.
03:59You ready?
04:01Sure, it'll be fun.
04:03But are you ready?
04:05I remember when I played them in fourth grade.
04:07They were gigantic.
04:11Yeah, super tall.
04:13And they'll try to psych you out.
04:15Huh?
04:17Psych us out?
04:19And remember that intimidating warm-up drill?
04:23Sure do.
04:25Like this.
04:33He's on fire!
04:35They can dunk?
04:37Maybe not.
04:39But they make you think they can.
04:41Yeah.
04:43They'll try to convince you they're so good, you have zero chance of winning.
04:55Only a few days before our first game.
04:57So let's practice those layups.
04:59Everybody line up.
05:01We're gonna have to practice extra, extra, extra hard.
05:07John and Jay told us the Hoopsters are giants.
05:11Giants?
05:13Whoa!
05:15Whoa!
05:17Whoa!
05:18Whoa!
05:19Whoa!
05:20Whoa!
05:21Whoa!
05:22What are you doing?
05:23Psyching you out.
05:25My brothers warned me that's what the Hoopsters are gonna do to us.
05:29They'll try to make us think we can't win.
05:32And we can't let them get away with it.
05:34We're playing for Kaya.
05:36How do we stop them?
05:38How?
05:39Easy.
05:40We just have to psych out the psycher-outers.
05:45I bet the Northern Lights take the Hoopsters no problem.
05:52Look how close that was!
05:56Okay.
05:57This time, I'm gonna score.
05:59That's funny.
06:02Molly's usually our best shooter.
06:08Great practice, kids.
06:14Now remind your families it's a five-hour drive from here to Danegi.
06:18So plan on staying the night.
06:20Yummy.
06:21A basketball sleepover?
06:24Really?
06:25Villages are way far apart in Alaska.
06:28Yeah, so everybody has to go a long way to play each other.
06:32It's super fun.
06:33You get to meet lots of kids.
06:35And a whole bunch of people from Kaya will come too.
06:38Wow!
06:39Will there be a campfire?
06:40What about ghost stories?
06:41Who's bringing hot chocolate?
06:42I love sleepovers!
06:48You've been pulled away in here the last few nights.
06:51What's up?
06:52We want to make Kaya proud.
06:54So I researched a bunch online
06:56and found a perfect pre-game warm-up for us.
06:59We'll psych out the hoopsters.
07:02I like the way you think.
07:09If you read the instructions,
07:11you'll see the drill's called the three-kid weave.
07:13Because it's like weaving a braid.
07:15How to do the three-kid weave drill.
07:19Step one.
07:20Line up three players at half-court.
07:24Molly, you be on the right.
07:26Oscar will be on the left.
07:28And Vera, you be in the middle with the ball.
07:34Okay.
07:35We'll walk through the rest and then really try it.
07:38Step two.
07:40Move toward the basket.
07:47Step three.
07:48Have one player pass to another.
07:55Step four.
07:56Have the two players trade places.
08:03Step five.
08:04Have the receiving player pass to the third player.
08:10Step six.
08:11Have those two players trade places.
08:19Step seven.
08:20Have the player in the middle pass to the sending player,
08:24who runs to the basket and makes a layup.
08:26Yeah.
08:27Perfect.
08:28You did it.
08:29Woo!
08:30Awesome.
08:31Ooh, I love it.
08:32Yeah.
08:33We'll look unbeatable.
08:34Basit, Tuwi.
08:35You put a lot of work into researching and writing this drill.
08:37Remember, three passes and a layup.
08:39Step one.
08:40Run to the top.
08:41A little bit.
08:42A little bit.
08:43A little bit.
08:44A little bit.
08:45A little bit.
08:46A little bit.
08:47A little bit.
08:48A little bit.
08:49A little bit.
08:50A little bit.
08:51A little bit.
08:52A little bit.
08:53A little bit.
08:54A little bit.
08:55A little bit.
08:56Get to the basket.
08:57Go!
09:00Molly, pass to Vera.
09:05Wait, stop.
09:06Molly, you're supposed to trade places with Vera.
09:09Let's do it again.
09:15Molly, pass!
09:16Trade places!
09:22Oops.
09:23Sorry.
09:26We'll get it.
09:27We have your instructions and we just need a ton more practice.
09:43But we don't have time to practice.
09:44We're leaving tomorrow.
09:45What's wrong, Molly?
09:46I keep missing.
09:47And I'm trying really hard.
09:48You'll get your shot back.
09:49You'll get your shot back.
09:50You'll see.
09:51Don't give up.
09:52Some extra goodies for the trip to Denegi.
09:53Some extra goodies for the trip to Denegi.
09:54We can't wait to see you play.
09:55Ah, yeah.
09:56We can't wait to see you play.
09:57Ah, yeah.
09:58Something tells me you're a little worried.
09:59Something tells me you're a little worried.
10:00What's wrong, Molly?
10:01What's wrong, Molly?
10:02I keep missing.
10:03And I'm trying really hard.
10:04You'll get your shot back.
10:05You'll see.
10:06Don't give up.
10:07Some extra goodies for the trip to Denegi.
10:17We can't wait to see you play.
10:20Ah, yeah.
10:22Something tells me you're a little worried.
10:27Sorta, I guess.
10:30Want to talk about it?
10:32I don't know what's going on.
10:35I can't make a shot.
10:37You know, Shigoya, everybody misses in basketball sometimes.
10:41But I miss all the time.
10:43It's like the basket has a lid on it.
10:45And I've practiced and practiced.
10:48Hmm.
10:50Well, I say, forget all about it.
10:54Forget about basketball?
10:56No.
10:57Just about what's happened in the past.
11:00Instead, focus on one shot at a time.
11:03Not the last one.
11:05Not the next one.
11:06Just this one.
11:08Hmm.
11:09Guess I could do that.
11:12And most important, have fun.
11:15Remember, it's just a game.
11:18Yeah.
11:19It is, isn't it?
11:21Masi chochata.
11:22Yeah.
11:23Yeah!
11:24Yeah!
11:25Yeah!
11:26Yeah!
11:27Come on!
11:28Ha-ha!
11:29Ha-ha!
11:30Hanaba, see everybody for supporting the team.
11:33And I have a big surprise.
11:35I just heard Kamaka Hepa's gonna be at our game.
11:39I just heard Kamakahepa's going to be at our game.
11:43Kamakahepa?
11:46Kamakah who?
11:47Kamakahepa was the best high school player in all of Alaska.
11:52And now he plays college basketball in Texas.
11:57Really? And he's coming to our game?
12:01Come on, kids. Time to go.
12:03Go! Go! Go!
12:04Oh, yeah!
12:09Oh! I can't wait to get there!
12:20A basketball game and a sleepover!
12:23Uh, hey! Where are we going to sleep?
12:26Do you know Molly?
12:28Molly!
12:29Hello, Molly!
12:32Huh?
12:34Sorry. Just thinking about the game in Dineki.
12:37Is Dineki a big village?
12:40Hmm. I don't know. I've never been there. Let's look it up.
12:46Dineki has a population of 18.
12:4918? That's so small!
12:52How do they even have a basketball team?
12:54Yeah, that doesn't sound right. Let me reread it.
12:58Dineki has a population of 618.
13:01Uh, that makes more sense.
13:06Dineki is known for their King Salami Runs.
13:09A salami run? Is that a thing?
13:12I've never heard of one.
13:14But I like it.
13:16Wait. Let me read it again.
13:19Dineki is known for their King Salmon Runs.
13:22Now that I've heard of.
13:24Sorry. I wasn't paying attention.
13:27I guess I'm a little nervous.
13:30Nervous?
13:31About what?
13:32What if I miss a ton of shots and let everybody down?
13:35In front of my favorite player, Kamakahepa?
13:38Aw, that's never gonna happen. No way.
13:41I know you'll figure it out.
13:43What if I miss a ton of shots and let everybody down in front of me, Kamakahepa?
14:02Maurice, I'm Mike, coach of the Hoopsters. Welcome.
14:07Thanks for hosting us.
14:09But if he's the coach, then who's that?
14:13This is one of our players, Adam.
14:21He's gonna show your team where they're staying.
14:24Hi.
14:25John and Jay were right.
14:28The Hoopsters are huge.
14:31We're in big trouble.
14:33Come on. I'll show you the gym.
14:36Whoa.
14:37Whoa.
14:38Hooray.
14:46Whoa.
14:46The Hoopsters have won a lot of championships.
14:50Don't you love it?
14:52We're sleeping on a basketball court.
14:54Who's gonna be able to sleep with those hanging over us?
14:59There you are, Molly.
15:03Just wanted to say goodnight.
15:05I remember playing in this gym.
15:08Did you win?
15:09Not exactly.
15:11But tomorrow, you'll even the score.
15:17Relax.
15:19And have fun, Shigoya.
15:22Great.
15:23Thanks, Chata.
15:30Hmm?
15:31Remember, don't let him psych you out.
15:34Too late for that.
15:36We're doomed.
15:38Ah, but Tooie, the game's not over till it's over.
15:42Anything's possible.
15:44Heh.
15:44Yeah.
15:45Like the ref won't show up, and they'll have to forfeit.
15:48That's a way you could win.
15:50Is this supposed to help me?
15:52Just giving you a pep talk.
15:54Like Coach gave us before a big game.
15:57Hmm.
15:58A pep talk.
16:00Maybe that's what we need.
16:04Okay.
16:05Lights out.
16:06Big day tomorrow.
16:07Relax and have fun.
16:15Relax and have fun.
16:17We have nothing to fear but giants.
16:22Hmm.
16:22That's not right.
16:31Tooie has asked to give us a little pep talk before the game.
16:34Tooie, you have the floor.
16:37I know we don't think we can win.
16:43And maybe we can't.
16:45This is a pep talk?
16:47But we can play our hearts out.
16:50We can play for Kaia.
16:53Vera, you're a great passer.
16:56And Oscar, you always make your free throws.
16:59And Trini, you, um, never give up.
17:04And Molly, that slump is gonna end today.
17:08I know it.
17:09So we can win if we just believe in each other.
17:15You're right, Tooie.
17:16We can do this.
17:18However, statistically unlikely.
17:20Yeah.
17:21Let's go out there and make our families proud.
17:24Take it to the limit.
17:26Take it to the top.
17:27We're the mighty northern lights and we can't please stop.
17:29Woo!
17:30Yes!
17:30Whoa, is that the three-kid weave you taught us?
17:52Yep.
17:54Run to perfection.
17:56This is gonna be a long game.
18:01Welcome, everyone.
18:03We're honored to host Kaia today
18:04and we're especially proud to host Alaska's own Kamaka Hepa
18:09who's here to watch the game.
18:10Woo!
18:10Woo!
18:11Woo!
18:11Woo!
18:11Yeah!
18:12Woo!
18:12Woo!
18:12Woo!
18:13Woo!
18:13Woo!
18:13Woo!
18:14Woo!
18:14Woo!
18:14Woo!
18:14Woo!
18:15Woo!
18:15Hey, northern lights.
18:16I just want to wish you all good luck.
18:18Masi cho, Mr. Hepa.
18:20Call me Kamaka and remember,
18:22it's not if you win or lose,
18:24it's how hard you play.
18:25Good luck.
18:29Kamaka Hepa wished us luck awesome!
18:50Come on.
18:59Make it.
19:02Just shake it off, Molly.
19:09Huh?
19:09Shoot Molly!
19:23Uh-uh.
19:24Fira!
19:30Why didn't you shoot?
19:32Because I can't make a basket.
19:34From now on, I'm gonna pass to you guys.
19:39Hey! Good shot!
19:51Hmm? What's he up to?
20:00Look, I know you're playing hard. Keep at it. There's still plenty of time to win in the second half.
20:07Let's go get some water.
20:09Hey, Molly.
20:14You know my name?
20:17Your grandpa told me. I hear you're going through a little slump.
20:22More like an epic slump.
20:25You know, we all go through them.
20:28Even you?
20:30Yep. But eventually, I get my shot back. Want to know my secret?
20:35Oh, yes, please.
20:37I take a few deep breaths to slow down and get back in control.
20:42Take a breath. Slow down. Okay.
20:47Then, I can just focus on playing and having fun.
20:50Having fun is what grandpa said, too.
20:52Yeah, good advice. I notice you're rushing your shot. So try taking a breath right before you shoot.
20:59Okay. I will.
21:01Take a breath before shooting.
21:12You okay? You know, your shoelace is untied.
21:15Oh, really?
21:15I don't know. I don't know. It's a good thing.
21:16I don't know. I don't know. It's a good thing.
21:17It's a good thing. I don't know. I don't know. It's a good thing.
21:18Huh, nah!
21:24Yes!
21:30Amazing! Good work!
21:34Whoa!
21:36You okay?
21:38You know, your shoelace is untied.
21:40Oh, really?
21:42You think I'm gonna fall for...
21:45Oh!
21:46Um, thanks!
21:47Sure thing!
21:50You really are nice.
21:52You're not trying to psych us out.
21:56Time to have some fun!
22:17Ready? Just like we practiced!
22:19You made us proud, Tui!
22:21Good game!
22:24Uh, Adam, right?
22:28Yeah, you too!
22:30Great game, Molly!
22:31You too, Oscar!
22:32I know we lost, but I found my shot again. Thanks to you, Kamaka.
22:39No problem, Molly. Happy to help.
22:40Hey!
22:41You should come visit us and Kaya!
22:42Auntie Midge makes the best fry bread in the world!
22:44Ooh, fry bread? I'll definitely visit them.
22:46Hey, everyone!
22:47Hey, everyone!
22:48Molly here to answer your questions about life in Alaska.
22:49Quinn from Wisconsin asks,
22:51How can I improve my free throw?
22:53Let my friends give you a few of their basketball tips and tricks!
22:56Hi, Molly!
22:57Hi, I'm Laka!
22:58Hi, Molly!
22:59Hi, I'm Laka!
23:00Hi, I'm Laka!
23:01Hi, I'm Manu!
23:02Hi, I'm Kellen!
23:03We live in Anchorage, Alaska, which is the traditional land of Alaska.
23:08I'll definitely visit them.
23:09Hey, everyone!
23:10Molly here to answer your questions about life in Alaska.
23:14Quinn from Wisconsin asks,
23:16How can I improve my free throw?
23:18Let my friends give you a few of their basketball tips and tricks!
23:21Hi, Molly!
23:23Hi, I'm Laka!
23:25Hi, I'm Manu!
23:26Hi, I'm Kellen!
23:27We live in Anchorage, Alaska, which is the traditional land of Alaska.
23:31of the Dinah Inet people.
23:33Today we're going to go practice basketball at the gym.
23:36We've been playing basketball for basically our whole life.
23:39And we love practicing together.
23:41We're really excited because we're going
23:43to talk to Kamaka on the phone.
23:45Kamaka Hepa is a really good basketball player from Alaska.
23:48We're all excited to meet Kamaka
23:50because he's Alaska Native and Filipino like us.
23:53I'm really excited to get to ask Kamaka questions.
23:56What's up, kids? What's your name?
23:59Hi, I'm Manu.
24:01Nice to meet you. I'm Kamaka.
24:03First we're practicing at dribbling.
24:05Dribbling is just bouncing the ball up and down with your fingertips.
24:09Way to keep your eyes up.
24:11That's the perfect form right there.
24:13Good job, Kalou.
24:15You guys have really good dribbling skills.
24:17Keep working on that and make sure you guys keep your eyes up
24:20so that you can see the floor and see where the defenders
24:23and your teammates are at.
24:24Kamaka, can you give me some tips for shooting?
24:27Point to your elbow real quick.
24:29Make sure your elbow is over your eyes.
24:31So you want your elbow over your eyes when you guys shoot.
24:35Okay, we're going to practice what Kamaka taught us.
24:39It's good when you're shooting to have your elbow above your eyes
24:42because you want to shoot high up like reaching for a cookie jar.
24:46Put your hand up and then go like that.
24:49You got it, you got it. Get it up a little bit more.
24:53Kamaka was super helpful.
24:55It's good to see kids like you guys out here working hard
24:58who really love the game of basketball.
25:00Thank you, Kamaka. Bye!
25:02Bye!
25:04Masi Cho! Thanks for asking and see you next time!
25:08We'll see you next time!
25:09We'll see you next time!
25:12We'll see you next time!
