00:00:00You
00:00:05Welcome back to game seven of the UBA finals
00:00:09Unbelievable comeback if the sniper can clinch a finals victory for the lightning. He will be crowned the league's God
00:00:15of ball
00:00:19Got this baby you're one shot away from becoming a legend. I never could have done this without you and
00:00:25After the win tonight, I'm done with basketball. I'm tired of long nights and the weeks away. It'll just be
00:00:31us
00:00:33And our son
00:00:38I love you
00:00:40Kill him sniper
00:00:45The lighting's down by one and the scorpions have the ball they need one more stop to get the ball
00:00:50Tyler Murray shoots it
00:00:52Oh the sniper stole it
00:00:55He's heading to the front court
00:00:59We have three seconds left can the sniper save the game
00:01:06This is for you, baby
00:01:12There's the release no he missed wait a sec is that his signature move?
00:01:20The sniper's signature kill shot just won the league finals
00:01:42Could have done this without you
00:01:52The sniper will never steal another trophy from me again
00:02:03I got my win and now we get our happily ever after
00:02:15Regina no
00:02:26No
00:02:30Take care of my son
00:02:33No
00:02:38We've gathered here today to crown the seasons MVP a man who made the lightning champions
00:02:44So put your hands together for the god of ball, a new league legend, the Sniper.
00:02:54After the death of the family member, the goat of basketball is retiring and disappears.
00:03:04It was a robbery. A terrible accident.
00:03:08Don't give up your son, Marcel. You'll regret it forever.
00:03:12This never would have happened if I hadn't made my wife a target.
00:03:16I'm not going to put my son in danger, too.
00:03:32Basketball took everything from me.
00:03:38I'll never play again.
00:03:47How could I be so blind?
00:03:51I put basketball before my family. I put them in danger. This is what I deserve.
00:03:57Mars Davis, you're on fire.
00:03:59The Sniper. I mean, he's the best to ever do it.
00:04:05I'd give anything to train without loss, legend. I was raised by my aunt after my alcoholic dad abandoned me.
00:04:12So any greatness you see?
00:04:14It's all me.
00:04:15It's all me.
00:04:16My son doesn't know who I used to be, just who I was to him.
00:04:20It's been 20 years since my wife died. I picked up the bottle to numb the pain and never put
00:04:26it down, but Regina would hate to see me like this.
00:04:28A washed-up alcoholic, slinging burgers at a drive-thru. It's time to get my shit together.
00:04:37He's like the Steph Curry of burgers!
00:04:40Holy shit! I did it!
00:04:43Over 200 cars served per hour!
00:04:46You know what that means, guys.
00:04:48Bonus time!
00:04:52Biggest cut for me.
00:04:54Scotty didn't do shit. It's your math skills that broke a record.
00:04:59I'm the reason we got that bonus. You gonna deny me my cut?
00:05:02Buddy, you've been drinking on the job. I should fire your ass.
00:05:07Our janitor guy quit this morning, so either you walk out of here broke and jobless, or you go clean
00:05:15up the puke in the bathroom.
00:05:17I've lost everything. I won't give up my last shred of dignity.
00:05:21No thanks.
00:05:23I quit.
00:05:25Quit. Good luck.
00:05:27Who else is gonna hire a washed-up alcoholic?
00:05:37If the Lightning lose this playoff game, then the owner's gonna kill the team. I'm sorry.
00:05:44We need a Hail Mary.
00:05:56I haven't seen precision like that since the Sniper.
00:06:00Did I just find the lost basketball legend?
00:06:04Holy shit! That's Omari Gibbs!
00:06:07Yo, Mr. Gibbs, can I have one autograph?
00:06:08As a general manager myself, I'd be honored to-
00:06:11Hey, Marcel!
00:06:15Come with me.
00:06:16We need you back in the game.
00:06:30We need the Sniper as the Lightning's assistant coach.
00:06:35No way.
00:06:36No way.
00:06:36And don't call me that.
00:06:37The Sniper died a long time ago.
00:06:39We have one more game to save this team.
00:06:42We need a miracle.
00:06:43We need you.
00:06:45I gave up basketball 20 years ago.
00:06:48I'm not your guy.
00:06:50Wait!
00:06:51I wanna show you something.
00:06:55Pass to his face!
00:06:56Screen up!
00:06:57D! D!
00:06:58Let's go, Mars!
00:06:59That's the bastard!
00:07:01Yo, Mars could be one of the greats.
00:07:04We don't win this playoff game.
00:07:06The owner's gonna sell.
00:07:07They'll rebuild, rebrand,
00:07:10and Mars' career will go down with this team.
00:07:13We're up against the 99ers.
00:07:15He can't beat them on his own.
00:07:18I never thought I'd keep myself back.
00:07:21You could,
00:07:21if you coach him to the finals.
00:07:23He'll never respect you
00:07:25unless you show him that you deserve it.
00:07:28This is your chance to make a comeback.
00:07:31Marcel,
00:07:32I've seen you ruin your own life.
00:07:35Don't ruin your sons too.
00:07:41Fine.
00:07:43I'll do it.
00:07:49But no one can know who I am.
00:07:51And I'm only coaching them not playing.
00:07:54Never play again.
00:08:09All right.
00:08:10Listen up.
00:08:11The only reason this sorry for an excused team squeaked into the playoffs
00:08:16is because of Mars.
00:08:18But there's no way we're gonna...
00:08:20I mean, there's not a chance we survive unless we...
00:08:22Dad?
00:08:26What the hell are you doing here?
00:08:32I'm your new assistant coach.
00:08:33What do they call you?
00:08:35Coach combo me up.
00:08:38No, no fucking way.
00:08:40He's an alcoholic loser.
00:08:42He couldn't even stay sober long enough to raise his own son.
00:08:46I spent my whole life trying to be the opposite of you.
00:08:50And now you come to my house to coach me?
00:08:53I don't think so.
00:08:55What the hell is Mari thinking?
00:08:56We need a miracle to win this final, not a drive-through drunk.
00:08:59No, what you need is better cuts, set some picks, and perfect your three-point game.
00:09:04You think it's that easy, old man?
00:09:07If you could hold on to the ball, what you lack in power you can make up for in precision.
00:09:11What do you know?
00:09:12The only thing I've ever seen you pick up is this damn flask.
00:09:18He's wasted.
00:09:19Don't hurt yourself, Gramps.
00:09:37Lucky shot.
00:09:39Don't let this drunk cunt fool you.
00:09:40When it comes to actual basketball, he's got nothing on me.
00:09:44What will it take for you to call me coach?
00:09:48A shooting contest.
00:09:50Three extreme shots.
00:09:51The fastest one to make him wins.
00:09:53If you win, you can stay.
00:09:55But if I win, you walk out and never come back.
00:10:02I never wanted to play again.
00:10:04Especially not against my own son.
00:10:06But if I have to prove myself to protect him, deal.
00:10:14Morris, do you really think it's a good idea to let your loser dad be the coach of our most
00:10:18important game?
00:10:20I don't know.
00:10:21Let him show us what he's got.
00:10:23He's a useless deadbeat.
00:10:25He'll gas out before he even hits the first shot.
00:10:31Alright.
00:10:31Three expert level shots.
00:10:33The step back three.
00:10:34The blind strike.
00:10:36And the clutch.
00:10:37Same sequence.
00:10:38Same time.
00:10:40You miss.
00:10:41You go again.
00:10:42No resets.
00:10:43No excuses.
00:10:45Three.
00:10:46Two.
00:10:47One.
00:10:49First up, the step back three point shoot.
00:10:52It's a difficult shot that requires pacing and core strength.
00:10:57How could he make it?
00:10:58Did you see that?
00:11:00Next up, the blind strike.
00:11:02It requires good memorization and a sixth sense.
00:11:07Even without looking.
00:11:11Bro, he's cooking you!
00:11:13Finally, the clutch.
00:11:15The most difficult shot you can do in the entire game.
00:11:18It means you're out of time and energy.
00:11:19And you have one last shot.
00:11:21I've only seen one player pull it off 20 years ago.
00:11:24I'm rookie of the year.
00:11:25And you're just some drunk patty push who works at a fast food joint.
00:11:28That shot.
00:11:29There's no way you can-
00:11:30You're gonna used to calling me coach.
00:11:37What?
00:11:47Who the hell is this guy?
00:11:49Why does he seem so familiar?
00:11:52The lightnings hail Mary.
00:12:05All right.
00:12:07Everyone start sprints.
00:12:12All right.
00:12:18Everyone start sprints.
00:12:21Everything I have, I built by myself.
00:12:25Now, I'm not taking orders from you now.
00:12:26You can flash those fancy tricks all you want.
00:12:28But you don't actually know ball.
00:12:30You sure about that?
00:12:32Aunt Grace told me you played before I was born.
00:12:34But if you were any good, you wouldn't have become a worthless drunk now, would you?
00:12:37Unless this team wins tomorrow, your career is over.
00:12:41And I'm not gonna let that happen.
00:12:42We will win.
00:12:44It'll have nothing to do with you.
00:12:50I won't give up and walk away this time.
00:12:53I can't lose him forever.
00:12:56Son, wait.
00:13:02Okay, I'm sorry.
00:13:03Are you lost, Zippy Burger?
00:13:05Who did you steal this from?
00:13:09I didn't steal anything.
00:13:13So you're the lightnings new assistant coach?
00:13:16Tyler Murray.
00:13:17My old rival.
00:13:19Recruiting from the drive-thru.
00:13:22I mean, scraping the bottom of the barrel.
00:13:24How does it feel to play for a team that's about to be erased from league history?
00:13:28It'll feel great when we beat you.
00:13:31You won't even make it to the finals.
00:13:33The lightning have been terrible ever since the sniper went MIA, what, 20 years ago?
00:13:39Thanks to me, now the scorpions rule.
00:13:40We should make it look like an accident.
00:13:42The sniper will never steal another trophy from me again.
00:13:49You're no sniper.
00:13:50So I suggest you start burning your jerseys.
00:13:53You can learn how to flip burgers, work with this guy.
00:13:56Because your basketball career, it's over.
00:13:59Don't talk to my son like that.
00:14:02So you're the alcoholic absent father.
00:14:05Ah.
00:14:06Yeah, I can see why he wants nothing to do with you.
00:14:09Hey.
00:14:10Don't you worry.
00:14:11Wants your greasy dad here?
00:14:13Wants your team straight to the ground?
00:14:14I'll let you be my ball boy.
00:14:25You should teach your boys manners.
00:14:27The 99ers are going to destroy you.
00:14:30So I suggest you get ready to be laughed off the court.
00:14:33I'll let the score speak for itself.
00:14:43I'm about to coach a playoff game.
00:14:46I need to look the part.
00:14:54The Lightning started this season at the bottom of the barrel.
00:14:57But thanks to some stellar plays from rookie Morris Davis,
00:15:00they're in the playoffs going head to head with one of the league's top franchises.
00:15:04Coach Rush says their new assistant coach is a secret weapon.
00:15:07Is it true they recruited him from a fast food drive through?
00:15:27Is that the burger guy?
00:15:29No, but it can't be.
00:15:31They call him Coach Combo Mule.
00:15:33There's no way a guy like that can call game winning plays.
00:15:37Everybody expects us to fail tonight.
00:15:39But if we focus, stick to the game plan.
00:15:42We can prove the world wrong.
00:15:43It's your show, Coach.
00:15:45Good luck.
00:15:46Only if we played two,
00:15:48this team would be unstoppable if we got him out on the court.
00:15:51Time to break the curse.
00:15:52All in, Team Lightning.
00:16:01Tell that I'm for you guys.
00:16:03Combo Mule talks up a big game,
00:16:04but he'll give up on you when you need him most.
00:16:07I'm not going anywhere.
00:16:08Let's win this.
00:16:09Lightning on three.
00:16:10One, two, three.
00:16:11Lightning!
00:16:17Remember this face.
00:16:19I'm the legend that's going to knock you and the Lightning out of this league for good.
00:16:38Good ball movement, boys.
00:16:45Get ready, get ready.
00:16:47Take it, baby.
00:16:51The shot!
00:16:52Who is that schlub playing Russia's assistant coach?
00:16:56It's Mars Davis' absent father.
00:16:58Guy's a total alcoholic, clearly just a pity hire.
00:17:02Mars Davis' father?
00:17:03Why does he look so familiar?
00:17:06These losers are humiliating you.
00:17:10Let's go, boys.
00:17:12Alcoholic or not, he's got them playing like a whole new team.
00:17:18Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up.
00:17:21Wait.
00:17:22No.
00:17:29What do you need to do?
00:17:42Where's the foul, ref?
00:17:44Come on!
00:17:45Foul!
00:17:46Come on, man!
00:17:47Where's the foul, ref?
00:17:52They can't beat us, so they're playing dirty.
00:17:59Foul, ref! Come on!
00:18:12They're scared. Don't back down.
00:18:15Don't tell me what to do, old man.
00:18:22Stitches on Mars!
00:18:29Focus up, behind the line.
00:18:37Get!
00:18:46Yo!
00:18:48What's wrong with you?
00:18:50Hey!
00:18:51Hey!
00:18:52Call it right, yo!
00:18:54You blind, ref?
00:18:56Reg, number 15, foul.
00:18:59Bro!
00:19:00That's right, losers!
00:19:02I can't go down.
00:19:04Not like this.
00:19:05You okay, sir?
00:19:06Yeah.
00:19:07This is a real blow for the Lightning.
00:19:09Unless Mars Davis makes a miraculous recovery,
00:19:11there's no way that they can come back from this.
00:19:14I told you, they would dominate this team of washed-up losers.
00:19:23We're all out of subs.
00:19:25We're all out of subs.
00:19:25Your last chance to win this.
00:19:27We have to forfeit.
00:19:31Wait!
00:19:33You've got your Hail Mary right here.
00:19:35I already drew up a player contract, just in case.
00:19:38Your team needs you on the court, coach.
00:19:42You want me to play?
00:19:44You shoot with the best accuracy I've ever seen.
00:19:47And between you and me,
00:19:48I want the lighting to take those asshole 99ers down.
00:19:52You can save us.
00:19:54And win it all.
00:19:57There's no way that this out-of-shape excuse for a coach
00:20:01can bring them back from an eight-point deficit in 15 seconds.
00:20:04It's impossible!
00:20:06Go out there, coach.
00:20:07And I'll knock you down so hard to never get back up.
00:20:12If we lose, it's all over.
00:20:16A team.
00:20:17My career.
00:20:26If everyone finds out who I am, will I put my son in danger too?
00:20:31I'm sorry, I can't get back on the court.
00:20:35I knew you were just a useless deadbeat.
00:20:37All you ever do is quit.
00:20:40I can't lose my son again.
00:20:44Morfet!
00:20:45Morfet!
00:20:46Morfet!
00:20:47Morfet!
00:20:48Morfet!
00:20:49Morfet!
00:20:49Morfet!
00:20:50Morfet!
00:20:50I guess Team Night Lightning has no choice.
00:20:54Wait.
00:20:57Give me a jersey.
00:20:58I'll play.
00:21:00Can't wait for this greasy dick shit to fall flat on his face.
00:21:05Wait a minute.
00:21:05Is that the coach wearing a player's jersey?
00:21:08Is he gonna play?
00:21:12The coach is warming up now.
00:21:17I'm back.
00:21:20The sniper finally shoots again.
00:21:23Damn, that coach cleaned up good.
00:21:25He reminds me of one of those old school league legends.
00:21:28Unless he's got the skills to match, the Lightning can kiss their careers goodbye.
00:21:32They've only got 15 seconds left to make an impossible comeback.
00:21:35There's no way he can pull this off.
00:21:39You know, when you lose it, it'll actually be nice.
00:21:41I'll come by the restaurant, you can both put the fries in my bag.
00:21:44That old guy's not making it through our defense.
00:21:49What is he doing?
00:21:51He's running the wrong way down the court.
00:21:55What the hell's he doing?
00:21:56That loser's blowing the game.
00:21:58What, are you drunk, old man, or just lost?
00:22:01Is he trying to score?
00:22:03That's impossible!
00:22:04Nobody could score from the backcourt!
00:22:21No one's made a full court shot since the sniper.
00:22:25Who is this guy?
00:23:01That's a record-breaking shot!
00:23:03I haven't seen style like that in twenty years!
00:23:06The lightning's still down by five with only ten seconds left on the clock.
00:23:10Back it up, geezer.
00:23:11Try that again, you're gonna throw out your back.
00:23:13you still need a miracle to win coach where'd you get those mad skills we

00:26:30see I told you we choke I don't choke let me remind you of who I really am oh my
00:26:37god that's the sniper signature move it's the kill shot
00:26:44oh my god that's the sniper signature move it's the kill shot
00:26:55What?
00:27:15Wow.
00:27:22Could it be the sniper?
00:27:25The missing god of balls?
00:27:35That was the sniper's signature move.
00:27:38No one has been able to do that since he dominated the court.
00:27:44He's done it!
00:27:45Coach Carmobile and the lightning go to the finals!
00:27:52This man just made history.
00:27:57That geriatric joke stole our spot in the finals.
00:28:01Congratulations on a hell of a final season, Coach Rush.
00:28:04Coach, you retired?
00:28:07I just needed to find my successor.
00:28:13When I first saw you come into practice with your drive-thru get-ups, I had no idea you were
00:28:18the legend.
00:28:18All of our success, thanks to you.
00:28:22I only played 15 seconds this season.
00:28:24You all won this game.
00:28:26This guy right here, Mars, 59 points.
00:28:30Yeah!
00:28:33My 10 points would mean nothing without that.
00:28:38Good game, guys.
00:28:39We'll take that apology now.
00:28:41I'm not apologizing for shit.
00:28:44Hey, you got the win.
00:28:47All for you, son.
00:28:48What did you learn to play like that?
00:28:50It's almost like you're possessed by the sniper or something.
00:28:53I thought the same thing.
00:28:55Your styles are almost identical.
00:29:00Are you him?
00:29:04Are you him?
00:29:09Sniper died a long time ago.
00:29:22How could he turn it around like that?
00:29:25Could he really be the sniper?
00:29:27No way.
00:29:29The sniper left the league decades ago, and he's never coming back.
00:29:32Or she'd make it look like an accident.
00:29:35Sniper will never steal another trophy from me again.
00:29:40I made sure of that myself.
00:29:44Then if you lose in the finals to some burger-slinging deadbeat,
00:29:50your career in the league is over.
00:29:54You want to threaten me?
00:29:56I'm a champion.
00:29:58The league's best coach.
00:30:01Wow.
00:30:04Then prove it.
00:30:05Get the finals win, or clean out your office.
00:30:11What was that you said about the lightning not making the finals?
00:30:14You got lucky.
00:30:16Getting a raging alcoholic and his greasy bandits
00:30:20aren't going to beat the scorpion.
00:30:22We'll see you on the court, Murray.
00:30:26I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that finals trophy is mine.
00:30:36My God, he did it.
00:30:38Now let's pull off a win like that since the sniper.
00:30:41Could it be?
00:30:42No.
00:30:43That guy dropped off the face here 20 years ago.
00:30:46Congratulations, Team Lightning!
00:30:47You did it!
00:30:49Woo!
00:30:49Woo!
00:30:50Yeah!
00:30:51Yeah!
00:30:51Yeah!
00:30:52Yeah!
00:30:55Front and center, coach.
00:30:56We wouldn't be here without you.
00:30:57Max, you're the best coach I've ever had.
00:31:04That's why I want you to be our new head coach.
00:31:08Look, coach, you're the head coach.
00:31:11I've been trying to retire for years now.
00:31:13I just wanted to make sure the team would survive without me.
00:31:17What do you say?
00:31:19I'm honored, coach, but I'm not the only leader on the team.
00:31:23What do you think, Morris?
00:31:25Mind if your dad sticks around for a little while?
00:31:29What do you think, Morris?
00:31:30Mind if your dad sticks around for a little while?
00:31:33You helped win us one big playoff game combo meal,
00:31:36but if you can get us that trophy,
00:31:38then maybe I'll call you, coach.
00:31:40After my wife was murdered,
00:31:42I thought I was done with basketball forever.
00:31:44I never expected it could bring me back to my son.
00:31:47Coach Rush,
00:31:49I'd be honored to accept your offer.
00:31:51Yeah!
00:31:54I am not letting this fast food fraud
00:31:57get his greasy paws on my trophy.
00:32:12All right, everyone.
00:32:14Lightning on three.
00:32:16One, two, three.
00:32:18Not so fast.
00:32:25He assaulted my player.
00:32:27I'm challenging the call.
00:32:32Assaulted?
00:32:33You need to get your eyes checked.
00:32:35You elbowed him in the chest, and he collapsed.
00:32:37It should have been a flagrant foul.
00:32:38It's a fair play.
00:32:39I had nothing to do with this.
00:32:41Bullshit!
00:32:41You knew that you couldn't compete
00:32:43with my number one draft pick.
00:32:44So while everyone was distracted
00:32:46with your unsportsmanlike flopping,
00:32:48you pushed him.
00:32:50You and your desperate son
00:32:52just wanted to ruin my career.
00:32:56Bitter, old fuck!
00:32:58You just own no real talent when you see it.
00:33:02Clearly, you don't know when to hang it up
00:33:04and let the next generation have their turn.
00:33:06You are a washed-up alcoholic
00:33:07cheating your way to the Finals.
00:33:09This team earned their position here.
00:33:12It's not our fault
00:33:13that you're afraid to face us in the Finals.
00:33:15We should be playing in the Finals game.
00:33:17You're just lucky
00:33:18that we're not going to press charges.
00:33:20My advice,
00:33:21go back to flipping burgers
00:33:23before you hurt someone else.
00:33:24Not a chance.
00:33:26What would you expect
00:33:27from a washed-up alcoholic
00:33:28who steals the spotlight
00:33:29from his own son?
00:33:31The 99ers deserve a ticket to the Finals,
00:33:33unlike your entitled
00:33:36assistant coach.
00:33:37Hey, that's head coach.
00:33:39Maybe that was a mistake.
00:33:44I mean, clearly,
00:33:45he's not here for the team.
00:33:47He's just here for himself.
00:33:49I mean, you took my spot in the game,
00:33:51what, to prove that you're
00:33:52just some legendary baller?
00:33:53You haven't been sober my whole life.
00:33:55How can any of us trust you?
00:33:56My son still sees me
00:33:58as an absent-alcoholic dad.
00:34:01Your son's right.
00:34:03I collapsed on court.
00:34:05He's an addict.
00:34:06Feels like he drugged me.
00:34:07You all saw the play.
00:34:08He didn't touch you.
00:34:10I've seen coach drink
00:34:11since he joined the Lightning.
00:34:12You know, you can all look down
00:34:13on me and my team.
00:34:15That's fine.
00:34:16But you can't deny
00:34:17the word of the commissioner.
00:34:23Congrats
00:34:24on the new job,
00:34:25Mr. Commissioner.
00:34:26What a marvelous win,
00:34:28old friend.
00:34:29You know,
00:34:29I cannot believe
00:34:30you found that guy
00:34:31at a Zippy Burger drive-thru.
00:34:33You know,
00:34:34I bet he'd give the sniper
00:34:35a run for his money.
00:34:36Unless you're about to tell me
00:34:37that he is the sniper.
00:34:39Marcel made me promise
00:34:40to keep his true identity a secret.
00:34:42Everyone will find out
00:34:43when the time is right.
00:34:44Well, perhaps wishful thinking.
00:34:46Now that I'm commissioner,
00:34:47I get to choose
00:34:48the next basketball
00:34:49hall of fame inductee.
00:34:50If the lost god of ball
00:34:52has been found,
00:34:53it has to be him.
00:34:55Hold up, this question.
00:34:59We need the commissioner
00:35:00down here to stats.
00:35:02I want him to look
00:35:02these clouds in the eyes
00:35:03and tell them
00:35:04that the lightning
00:35:04made it to the final
00:35:05spare and square.
00:35:07Mr. Commissioner,
00:35:08we need you on the court.
00:35:09Let's go.
00:35:12And I don't play dirty.
00:35:14For accusing me,
00:35:15I take a look in the mirror.
00:35:19Don't be so naive.
00:35:21Addicts are pathological liars.
00:35:23Okay, he's fooled everyone.
00:35:24I bet that wasn't even
00:35:25the commissioner on the phone.
00:35:27Coach would never betray us
00:35:28like that.
00:35:30But the man I know
00:35:31had no problem
00:35:32dropping his family
00:35:33for the bottle.
00:35:34Yo, did Coach really do that?
00:35:36I don't know.
00:35:37He's got mad skills.
00:35:39Has he been high
00:35:40this whole time?
00:35:44Clearly, this conniving junkie
00:35:46is dangerous.
00:35:49Stop.
00:35:58This is the most pathetic
00:36:00attempt at gaslighting
00:36:01I've ever witnessed.
00:36:02We all saw the play
00:36:03in super slow-mo.
00:36:04It was fair.
00:36:05So you think
00:36:07because you push papers
00:36:09and throw cash
00:36:10at washed-up has-beens
00:36:12that you actually know ball?
00:36:14What the hell
00:36:15gives a woman like you
00:36:16the right to call
00:36:17fair play?
00:36:18Don't take the bait.
00:36:20Can't argue with someone
00:36:21who believes their own bullshit.
00:36:22Then maybe he should
00:36:23focus on the facts.
00:36:24Like how his team's
00:36:25reversals fell 30%
00:36:26this season.
00:36:29Congratulations, Coach.
00:36:32That ticket to the final
00:36:34should be mine.
00:36:49The Lightning won
00:36:50fair and square.
00:36:51Go home before I have
00:36:52you blacklisted
00:36:53from the league.
00:36:54Who the hell are you?
00:36:59Who the hell are you?
00:37:00That's the Lightning GM.
00:37:02He used to be coach
00:37:03of that whack-ass Eagles
00:37:05team that got cut
00:37:06from the league.
00:37:07Isn't that right?
00:37:08You don't have the
00:37:09authority to kick me out.
00:37:14Hey, what's this?
00:37:15Hank Santini,
00:37:16coach of the losing team.
00:37:17Are these your
00:37:18performance-enhancing drugs?
00:37:27I only answer to the league
00:37:29commissioner.
00:37:30I don't waste my breath
00:37:31arguing with losers.
00:37:33Mars and his coach
00:37:34worked miracles tonight.
00:37:36You don't deserve to step
00:37:37anywhere near that finals court.
00:37:40I'm the head coach
00:37:42of the top league franchise.
00:37:44You're just an old bag of bones
00:37:46who can't coach for shit.
00:37:49You should get yourself
00:37:50an apron
00:37:50and join him
00:37:52at the drive-thru.
00:37:54Boss, are you okay?
00:37:56Boss?
00:37:59Allow me to introduce you
00:38:01to Roderick Gould,
00:38:02the new league commissioner.
00:38:12Roderick Gould?
00:38:14Hey, this was just
00:38:15a big misunderstanding.
00:38:16Mr. Commissioner,
00:38:17I'm sorry.
00:38:18I have a concussion.
00:38:19You almost cost my son
00:38:20his chance at the finals.
00:38:22Both of you are a disgrace
00:38:24to our entire organization.
00:38:27You're blacklisted
00:38:28from the league.
00:38:29Mr. Gould, please look.
00:38:30Look, basketball.
00:38:31It's my life.
00:38:33Please, I will do anything.
00:38:34Save it.
00:38:35Get the fuck out of here
00:38:37before I call security.
00:38:39Go.
00:38:47I'm sorry I dabbed you.
00:38:49I don't blame you.
00:38:51I'm just not that guy anymore.
00:38:53How can I not tell
00:38:54you can ball like that?
00:38:56His face is so familiar.
00:38:58Team Lightning,
00:38:59I have never seen
00:39:00such a miraculous comeback
00:39:01in all my time
00:39:02with the league,
00:39:03especially not
00:39:04by an assistant coach.
00:39:05You mean head coach.
00:39:10Congratulations.
00:39:11You're going to the finals.
00:39:14Let's go, bud.
00:39:16You're going to the finals.
00:39:24You deserve it, son.
00:39:28Wrong.
00:39:29You saved a team
00:39:30that was almost sold
00:39:31for parts, man.
00:39:32Couldn't have done it
00:39:33without our
00:39:33star point guard.
00:39:40means a lot.
00:39:44Mars, you remind me
00:39:45of the sniper
00:39:46when he was first
00:39:47coming up.
00:39:48Yeah?
00:39:49Thank you so much, sir.
00:39:50I mean,
00:39:52he's kind of my hero.
00:39:53He still doesn't know
00:39:54I'm the sniper.
00:39:56Would he believe me now?
00:39:57Would he understand
00:39:58why I left it all behind?
00:40:00Speaking of the sniper,
00:40:01your style on court
00:40:02looks almost identical to his.
00:40:04Did you train with him
00:40:05or something?
00:40:08I got to meet the press,
00:40:10but I'll see you all
00:40:11at the finals.
00:40:12Excuse me.
00:40:14Let's take that trophy,
00:40:15homeboy!
00:40:16Yeah!
00:40:18Sorry,
00:40:19Zap and his son
00:40:20are not taking my trophy.
00:40:24It's a history-making day
00:40:26here at the league finals
00:40:27with the Lightning
00:40:28facing off
00:40:28against the Scorpions.
00:40:30Team Lightning
00:40:31is the underdog,
00:40:32but with rising star
00:40:33Mars Davis
00:40:33and their wildcard coach,
00:40:35anything could happen.
00:40:36The Scorpions
00:40:37have championship
00:40:38coach Tyler Murray
00:40:39and his comeback king
00:40:41Cole Duncan.
00:40:43It'll take a miracle
00:40:44for them to win this.
00:40:45Where the hell is Mars?
00:40:47We barely made it
00:40:49through the playoffs
00:40:49and the Scorpions,
00:40:51they body every single
00:40:52team they play.
00:40:53We need our star point guard.
00:40:57Have we heard
00:40:58from him yet?
00:41:02You got this team
00:41:03to the final,
00:41:04but if Mars is M.I.A.,
00:41:06they're going to be
00:41:07humiliated on that court.
00:41:10Scorpions will do
00:41:10anything they can
00:41:11to tear us down.
00:41:12We won't let them win.
00:41:14You sure about that?
00:41:18You and your
00:41:19jacked-up team
00:41:20of Amateurs,
00:41:21no match for us.
00:41:23All right,
00:41:23the only hope
00:41:24you have is Mars.
00:41:26But, uh,
00:41:28where's he at?
00:41:29Does he know
00:41:30the game starts
00:41:30in the hour?
00:41:32Hope he turns up.
00:41:33Otherwise,
00:41:34you may as well
00:41:35forward it.
00:41:45come meet me
00:41:46on the 17th floor
00:41:47in 10 minutes.
00:41:48You're going to come
00:41:49alone and you'll
00:41:49tell no one.
00:41:50Otherwise,
00:41:51you're never going
00:41:52to see your son again.
00:41:57Take care of our son.
00:42:01I'm supposed
00:42:01to keep him safe.
00:42:05The game starts
00:42:05in an hour.
00:42:06You can't leave now.
00:42:07Mars doesn't show
00:42:08who's going to stop him.
00:42:08You figure it out.
00:42:09I have to find him.
00:42:10Let him go.
00:42:12It's his son.
00:42:16He'll come back.
00:42:29Welcome back,
00:42:30Mr. Davis.
00:42:31What the fuck, man?
00:42:33Let me go!
00:42:34Well, I can't do that.
00:42:36You're my leverage
00:42:37in this deal.
00:42:38Now, your dipshit daddy's
00:42:39got a shot clock
00:42:40that's ticking down.
00:42:41I want to see
00:42:41if he's going to pick you
00:42:42or his basketball career.
00:42:44What do you think?
00:42:49Wow.
00:42:50Dad!
00:42:53You actually showed up.
00:42:55You picked your son
00:42:56over your own career.
00:42:58Father of the year!
00:43:01Tyler, your problems
00:43:01are with me,
00:43:02not my son.
00:43:03You're damn right
00:43:03they are!
00:43:04I was born
00:43:05to be a winner.
00:43:07A winner!
00:43:09They have money
00:43:10and power
00:43:11and respect.
00:43:13I didn't claw my way
00:43:14to the finals
00:43:15just to have some
00:43:16loser who was fetching
00:43:17fries last week
00:43:18steal it from me!
00:43:19Cut him loose
00:43:21and we can talk
00:43:21about this.
00:43:25You want to talk?
00:43:26There is nothing
00:43:27to talk about.
00:43:28A stunt in the playoffs
00:43:29cost me
00:43:30a lot of money
00:43:32and it almost

00:44:30Don't sign anything!
00:44:39Your son

00:44:43I guess that's
00:44:43what he gets

00:44:45an absent alcoholic.
00:44:48Now, you're going to

00:45:26Ah!
00:45:28I'm going to
00:45:29sign the fucking
00:45:29contract!
00:45:35That's a good choice.
00:45:37I mean,
00:45:37you signed the death
00:45:38wish for Team Lightning.
00:45:40You saved your son's legs
00:45:42and murdered his career.
00:45:45But like I said,
00:45:46father of the year.
00:45:49Now,
00:45:50while I have you here,
00:45:51one more thing.
00:45:52I'm just going to need you
00:45:53to admit to what you just did.
00:45:55I need a little bit
00:45:55of extra insurance.
00:45:56I'm not going to confess
00:45:58to rigging games for profit.
00:45:59I signed the contract.
00:46:00That was the agreement.
00:46:02I'll splice something together.
00:46:03It's fine.
00:46:05This is blackmail.
00:46:07You won't get away with it.
00:46:11Watch me.
00:46:14Let's go, boys.
00:46:28Where the fuck
00:46:29would you agree to that?
00:46:30What did you want me to do?
00:46:31Let him break your legs?
00:46:32You'd never play ball again.
00:46:34No!
00:46:35I wanted you to fight for me!
00:46:38Our team!
00:46:39You bent the knee
00:46:40and gave up when it got hard.
00:46:41Just like you always do.
00:46:43I gave up my career
00:46:44for you!
00:46:46Don't you get it?
00:46:47If you go down,
00:46:48I go down with you!
00:46:51I knew I should have
00:46:52sent your ass packing
00:46:53when I had the chance.
00:46:55I knew I couldn't count on you.
00:46:58Mars.
00:47:02Mars is right.
00:47:03If those bastards
00:47:04take the championship,
00:47:06then everything he worked for
00:47:07goes up in flames.
00:47:09Last time I won the finals,
00:47:11I lost everything.
00:47:29But I won't let that happen
00:47:30to my son.
00:47:31I won't let them win.
00:47:33But I can make them think
00:47:34that they're going to.
00:47:38Marcel, thank God.
00:47:39Are you and Mars?
00:47:40No, we're fine.
00:47:41I need a favor.
00:47:42We're on the street.
00:47:43It's Coach Murray.
00:47:44He's rigging games for profit.
00:47:49Welcome back
00:47:50to the 2026 UBA Finals.
00:47:55Tonight,
00:47:55we have the lightning
00:47:57playing against the Scorpions.
00:48:01This is the biggest rival
00:48:03in UVA history.
00:48:16No,
00:48:17running on this
00:48:17coach combo meal.
00:48:18He's a no-show.
00:48:20That coward,
00:48:21you're really going to
00:48:21throw the game?
00:48:23The lightning
00:48:24and the Scorpion
00:48:24haven't met in the finals
00:48:25since 2006.
00:48:27Tyler Murray himself
00:48:29played in that game,
00:48:30but he fell
00:48:30to the sniper.
00:48:40Wait a minute.
00:48:41Coach combo meal
00:48:42is here.
00:48:48Coach combo meal
00:48:49is back on the court.
00:48:51You'd never know
00:48:51he was slinging burgers
00:48:53three months ago.
00:48:54I bet he couldn't
00:48:55pass up the chance
00:48:56to join his son
00:48:56Mars on the court.
00:48:58They'll go down
00:48:58in history
00:48:59as the first
00:48:59father-son duo
00:49:00to play together
00:49:01in a finals game.
00:49:03You showed up.
00:49:04You're just putting
00:49:05yourself in the game
00:49:06to make sure
00:49:06we'd lose.
00:49:08You see,
00:49:08I'm pretty surprised
00:49:09you suited up
00:49:10because you and I
00:49:11both know how this ends.
00:49:13That's what he thinks.
00:49:15What can I say?
00:49:16I couldn't resist
00:49:17one more shot
00:49:18on the court.
00:49:18Yeah,
00:49:19of course he couldn't.
00:49:22This team's already
00:49:23imploding.
00:49:24Getting this
00:49:24championship trophy
00:49:25will be a walk
00:49:26in the park.
00:49:27Well, gentlemen,
00:49:28I'd say good luck,
00:49:29but, uh,
00:49:30just don't care.
00:49:32Scorpions!
00:49:33Let's go.
00:49:39I'm on your side.
00:49:42Don't hold back out there.
00:49:48Don't hold back out there.
00:49:53I'm done listening to you.
00:50:07Son, right here!
00:50:09Mars!
00:50:19Guess what I was gonna do
00:50:20to dad?
00:50:27God!
00:50:46Cool Duncan is on fire.
00:50:49The scorpions are dominating.
00:50:51The lightning better step it up.
00:50:57Hey, hey, fuck, fuck.
00:51:02Dude, what are you doing?
00:51:03Bro, why are you playing like you're alone?
00:51:06Just get back on defense.
00:51:22Half time right now, the lightning's down by 12 points.
00:51:32Will they make a comeback in the next half?
00:51:37This is embarrassing.
00:51:39I can't believe I have to throw the biggest game of my career.
00:51:42I'm supposed to be the leader, but I'm just letting everyone else down.
00:51:46If no one else can step up, then we're doomed.
00:51:54Guys, this game is not over.
00:51:56We just need to reset, play as a team, and we can still win this.
00:51:59You're such a hypocrite.
00:52:01You're one to talk, ball hog.
00:52:03You're not passing the ball, bruh.
00:52:05If we lose, it's your fault.
00:52:08That's what you think, huh?
00:52:10All this?
00:52:11It's all his fault.
00:52:15It's all his fault.
00:52:17Coach hasn't been able to touch the ball because you refused to let it go.
00:52:21How is this his fault?
00:52:22You're fucking selfish.
00:52:24Selfish?
00:52:24Get the fuck off me.
00:52:26Enough!
00:52:27Enough!
00:52:29It's the finals.
00:52:31If you want to embarrass yourself, go home.
00:52:33You go home.
00:52:36Everyone out.
00:52:37Everyone out.
00:52:44Why'd you have to sign that goddamn contract?
00:52:46You fucked us.
00:52:47The contract is bullshit, Morris.
00:52:49I'm stringing them along.
00:52:51Robin is handling it.
00:52:52They're not going to win this.
00:52:54You're lying.
00:52:55You think I put this jersey on to fuck up your game?
00:52:58I'm here to make sure that nothing and no one gets in your way.
00:53:01Bullshit.
00:53:02They'll just let me down again.
00:53:03Morris, listen to me.
00:53:05When your mother was killed, I swore off basketball and I was lost.
00:53:10But now I'm back.
00:53:11But I'm not back for me.
00:53:13I'm back for you.
00:53:15Now let's go out on that court together and destroy these motherfuckers.
00:53:24Welcome back from halftime.
00:53:25The Scorpions are dominating the game in the first half.
00:53:30Morris.
00:53:32God damn it!
00:53:38That's your star player.
00:53:41When you lose tonight, the lightning will be gone for good.
00:53:45I'll draft him.
00:53:46Just to keep the Scorpions bench warm.
00:53:50Mars is a goat in the making.
00:53:51He's about to be rookie of the year.
00:53:53Come on, boys.
00:53:54Let's go lightning.
00:53:56Come on.
00:53:57Spirit.
00:54:01Guess I'm not as stupid as we thought.
00:54:07Dude, what the fuck?
00:54:09Don't sneak him out of the game.
00:54:10He's trying to lose.
00:54:11He's trying to lose.
00:54:12He's trying to lose.
00:54:14He's trying to lose.
00:54:16He's trying to lose.
00:54:18We can still win this.
00:54:20But you have to trust me.
00:54:22If we play together, they can't beat us.
00:54:24Mars, you've got everything you need right here.
00:54:27Let's go out there and win this for the team.
00:54:35For the team.
00:54:38Okay.
00:54:46Whoa, whoa.
00:54:47Where's that?
00:54:47Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:54:51Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:54:59Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:55:08Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:55:10Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:55:13Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:55:18Mars Davis just executed the sniper's kill shot dunk.
00:55:25It's the end of the third quarter. Lightning is only down by two points now.
00:55:30Could my dad be him? The sniper.
00:55:34So these assholes want to die.
00:55:41You will lose this game or you and your son will commit career suicide.
00:55:45I'm not scared of you.
00:55:49Move!
00:55:50It's the beginning of the fourth quarter. The Lightning are down by two. Will they make their comeback?
00:56:02Coach, you're a legend!
00:56:05If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
00:56:35What a comeback! With father and son working as a team, they might have a chance.
00:56:41The Lightning are up by one. Can they keep the comeback?
00:56:46Whoa, hold on. Is that Tyler Murray?
00:56:51Is this 2006? All we're missing is the god of ball himself.
00:57:01If you're not gonna lose, I'll just have to be too fair and square.
00:57:05The performance enhancing drug I developed doesn't show up on any normal tests.
00:57:08Team Lightning won't know what hit them.
00:57:11Show me what you got.
00:57:12Coach, be prepared to lose.
00:57:14It's been at least a decade since Tyler Murray played in a professional game.
00:57:19Then why does he seem so confident?
00:57:21Shovel up, boys! We're not leaving here without a trophy!
00:57:24Full core, press! Show Lightning!
00:57:27You know, Mars could be the goat if he trained with a better coach.
00:57:30Yeah, but it'll never be you.
00:57:31You can't control him. But I can.
00:57:42That's a foul, ref!
00:57:45You okay? When did he get so good?
00:57:49Here, come on.
00:57:51They're neck and neck. Only two minutes left.
00:57:55Team Lightning is running out of time.
00:58:08Go, go, go!
00:58:10Come on, come on, we have to win!
00:58:12These losers can't beat us!
00:58:14We win at any cost! You get him!
00:58:19Where are you gonna go now, dipshit?
00:58:22What?
00:58:59Nobody's pulled that off since the guy who invented it!
00:59:05Game over!
00:59:06Unbelievable! What a comeback play from the Lightning!
00:59:10They just won the 2006 UBA Championship!
00:59:14Yeah!
00:59:15Yeah!
00:59:17Yeah!
00:59:19Yeah!
00:59:20Yeah!
00:59:21Yeah!
00:59:22Yeah!
00:59:24Yeah!
00:59:25Yeah!
00:59:25Yeah!
00:59:28Yeah!
00:59:29Yes!
00:59:29Yes!
00:59:30Yes!
00:59:30Yes!
00:59:31You did it!
00:59:33We did it.
00:59:34You're gonna regret this.
00:59:36You have no idea what you've done!
00:59:38You have no idea what you've done!
00:59:38I don't think so, Coach.
00:59:39I know exactly what I've done, and I know what you've done, too.
00:59:43This is far from over.
00:59:46Let's go.
00:59:50Yeah, boys!
00:59:58I knew you'd pull it off, man!
01:00:01No one's gonna sell a winning team. Congratulations.
01:00:07If anybody was gonna save the Lightning from extinction, I knew it was gonna be you, Marcel.
01:00:11It'd be Marcel, the new face of the league.
01:00:17Congratulations, Coach.
01:00:17Uh, don't tell anybody, but I was rooting for you.
01:00:23And, uh, I came across this old basketball card.
01:00:31Where'd you get this?
01:00:33Is my dad really the sniper?
01:00:46Now for the presentation of the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy and the Michael Jordan MVP.
01:00:52Here is UVA Commissioner, Roderick Gould.
01:00:56Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:00:58These finals have showcased the battle for greatness.
01:01:02With more talent on one court than we have ever seen before.
01:01:06But one incredible team prevailed.
01:01:09Congratulations, Team Lightning.
01:01:11You are the 2026 League Champions.
01:01:14Yeah!
01:01:20We're not done yet.
01:01:21For MVP, this rookie grew into a star right before our eyes.
01:01:27Congratulations, Mars Davis.
01:01:30Yeah!
01:01:33Yeah!
01:01:39Quick reflexes, Coach.
01:01:41I'd love to know what else you could do with those hands.
01:01:43Maybe I'll show you something.
01:01:53Oh, God.
01:02:00Thanks for getting me home safe.
01:02:08If it isn't obvious, I like you, Marcel.
01:02:13You sure that's not the champagne talking?
01:02:16Why don't you come find out?
01:02:27Close your eyes.
01:02:57Close your eyes.
01:02:58You can open your eyes now.
01:03:04Damn.
01:03:16I want you to take me here against this window.
01:03:23Show me your full court press, Coach.
01:03:39You've got potential, rookie.
01:03:41Now we just need to work on your long game.
01:03:54You've got potential, rookie.
01:03:56Wrong time, bro.
01:03:57You better get a new suit.
01:03:58You're getting inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame tomorrow.
01:04:03Murray, I didn't join the league for glory.
01:04:05I'm just a man trying to make amends with his son.
01:04:08Well, you're also a legend who single-handedly led a dying team to a championship.
01:04:13I've invited Mars and your sister-in-law too.
01:04:16They deserve to see who you really are and how far you've come.
01:04:20Fine.
01:04:21Make sure their commissioner invites Coach Murray.
01:04:25And Cole too.
01:04:26You sure about that?
01:04:29Yeah.
01:04:31I got a plan.
01:04:39You look happy.
01:04:43And it's about to get even better.
01:04:46I got two tickets to the Basketball Hall of Fame Gala tomorrow night.
01:04:52Any chance you'd want to be my date?
01:04:55She has no idea it's me who's being inducted.
01:04:59I'd love to.
01:05:10Gentlemen.
01:05:16Well, well, well.
01:05:18What do we have here?
01:05:24Silver VIP tickets to the Basketball Hall of Fame ceremony.
01:05:30These clowns have no idea what the sniper has planned for them.
01:05:35Now, correct me if I'm wrong, Commissioner, but the silver tickets, they're exclusive for Hall of Fame inductees, correct?
01:05:43There is something that ranks higher.
01:05:45And that is the gold commemorative ring which is presented to the inductee.
01:05:52But between you and me, we won't be revealing the guest of honor until the night of...
01:05:56Well, you know what? I'm just really happy you finally came to your senses.
01:06:00Recognize me as the UBA's true goat.
01:06:03Cole.
01:06:05It's time to start working on my speech.
01:06:10And once I get on stage, I'll expose Coach Combo Meal for the game-rigging alcoholic he really is.
01:06:16And glory will be mine.
01:06:28I'll see you.
01:06:30I'll see you.
01:06:30You and Robin?
01:06:33What about?
01:06:33I know.
01:06:35She asked me to be her date to the Hall of Fame soon.
01:06:40Damn.
01:06:41I only give out 20 of these.
01:06:43But, you won't be needing that.
01:06:47Because I got this.
01:06:52There's only one of them.
01:06:54There's only one of them.
01:07:04There's only one of them.
01:07:10I heard the league spent more money on this year's Hall of Fame ceremony than ever before.
01:07:15And no one knows who's actually been inducted.
01:07:18Whoever it is, he's a huge deal.
01:07:20My husband is on the board of directors, and even he had to fight to get us these general admission
01:07:26tickets.
01:07:32There's Tyler Marie, the famed head coach of the Scorpions, and his superstar, Cole Duncan.
01:07:37They've got silver VIP tickets.
01:07:40Could one of them be the inductee?
01:07:42Maybe.
01:07:43I don't know, but the true inductee will have a gold and silver ring engraved with his name.
01:07:55Cheers.
01:07:56Cheers.
01:08:05How the fuck did you get in here?
01:08:09I could ask you the same thing.
01:08:12This man is about to be criminally investigated for rigging games for profit this season.
01:08:21Yeah.
01:08:22This criminal shouldn't be allowed in here.
01:08:25Are you sure you're not the criminals?
01:08:28The criminals.
01:08:30We are silver VIP ticket guests of the commissioner himself.
01:08:35Thanks to me.
01:08:37Congratulations.
01:08:37Hey, there's only two of these silver VIP tickets, which means one of us is getting inducted tonight.
01:08:45Are you sure about that?
01:08:47We're the best in the fucking game.
01:08:50You're just some pathetic nobody.
01:08:51What do you know?
01:08:55Listen, you've had your fun playing pretend with the big boys in the league.
01:08:58But now, it's time to go back to flipping burgers for minimum wage.
01:09:03Because you have no right to be here.
01:09:09Actually...
01:09:11I do.
01:09:17Wow, a bronze VIP ticket?
01:09:20Not as exclusive as silver, but he must be someone important.
01:09:26I'm sorry, did you forge a ticket just to crash the event?
01:09:32Security.
01:09:34This criminal is using a counterfeit ticket to sneak in here.
01:09:38Take a look.
01:09:39Judge for yourself.
01:09:48This ticket's legit.
01:09:53I told you.
01:09:54Robin invited me as her.
01:09:57Ah.
01:09:58Yeah, I've seen you oogling over the league CFO Robin Sharp.
01:10:02What did you seduce her with some witchcraft to get that extra ticket?
01:10:05Not cool, bro.
01:10:06Marcel, are you drunkenly harassing women in the workplace?
01:10:09You are pitiful.
01:10:11Just riding everyone's coattails around you, hmm?
01:10:13It's quite despicable.
01:10:19No, you're despicable.
01:10:30Tyler Murray.
01:10:32How dare you question my date's right to be here?
01:10:37A date?
01:10:39Oh no, don't tell me you find this alcoholic loser attractive.
01:10:42I find him incredibly sexy.
01:10:45Can't keep my hands off him.
01:10:48Oh.
01:10:51You know, you could have had a real man.
01:10:53With real money, real power.
01:10:54But instead you chose a washed up nobody that Team Lightning found working at a drive-thru.
01:11:00It can make sense, coach.
01:11:02Wow.
01:11:03You must have a really big...
01:11:07Actually, what makes more sense is this frigid spinster couldn't find a date for the event.
01:11:11So she paid this broke-ass loser so she wouldn't feel so lonely.
01:11:16So sad.
01:11:18You know, the Basketball Hall of Fame induction is a high-profile event.
01:11:23There's no place for a lowly escort.
01:11:29Don't touch her again.
01:11:34Coach won the final, which you lost.
01:11:39He's a total catch.
01:11:40Oh my God, how can the CFO be so stupid?
01:11:44He was working at a drive-thru three months ago.
01:11:46Oh, you're telling me that when you pull up to get your nuggets and you see this greasy old man,
01:11:50you're gonna give him your number?
01:11:52Oh, he has you fooled too, doesn't he?
01:11:54I bet you didn't even think to ask.
01:11:57How does a bum like this working a drive-thru on the verge of homelessness get a job as a
01:12:03coach in the league?
01:12:04He's here now. That's irrelevant.
01:12:05Is it?
01:12:06Because the only logical explanation I can think of is that he has some dirt on the lightning jam of
01:12:12Mari Gibbs and he's using it as blackmail for the job.
01:12:17How did you get the job?
01:12:21How did you get the job?
01:12:28Amari and I played on the lightning together 20 years ago.
01:12:31What?
01:12:32You were in the league 20 years ago?
01:12:35No way.
01:12:36That's when I played and I would remember an ugly face like yours, so you're still lying.
01:12:4120 years ago, I was at the top of my game when my wife was murdered and I was left
01:12:45with my infant son.
01:12:47The sniper will never steal another trophy from me again.
01:12:54No way. That was his wife?
01:12:56I started drinking. I lost myself and the grief and the guilt. So I walked away from my son because
01:13:02I didn't want the terrible thing to happen to my wife to happen to him.
01:13:05So I changed my name and got a job at Sippy Burger. That's where I ran into Amari.
01:13:13What, now you're stealing the sniper's sob story?
01:13:16God.
01:13:17I bet he killed his wife and that's why his son got taken away and that's how you end up
01:13:21in a drive-through.
01:13:27I can't help if it's industrial magic.
01:13:28What the fuck?
01:13:36He had nothing to do with my mom's death.
01:13:42That's his son, the 2026 MVP!
01:13:45Mars Davis!
01:13:46He is a goat in the making.
01:13:49We've had our differences, but you are in no way responsible for my sister's death.
01:13:53Grace, I'm sorry, I should have called.
01:13:59Mars tells me you've been too busy winning championships.
01:14:06Maybe interrupt this precious family moment, but this doesn't disprove you killed your wife.
01:14:14Talk about my wife one more time.
01:14:16You see, this man is dangerous.
01:14:19All right, your disgraceful father should be in a cell.
01:14:22Not the biggest basketball event of the year.
01:14:24And after I'm inducted into the Hall of Fame, I'll make sure you never touch a basketball again.
01:14:31You can't do that.
01:14:33Yes, he can.
01:14:38You can't do that.
01:14:39Yes, he can.
01:14:43That's Ben Billings, the owner of the most successful franchise in history, the Scorpions.
01:14:49I wouldn't fuck with him.
01:14:50They're done for.
01:14:51Tyler Murray is one of the most powerful men in this room.
01:14:54And with his silver VIP ticket, he's probably the guest of honor himself.
01:15:01When he tells you to jump, I'd say, how high?
01:15:08I don't jump off the court, especially for small men like you.
01:15:11You are ruining this prestigious event.
01:15:16Security!
01:15:20Remove this man.
01:15:24Get him out of here.
01:15:25Fast food fraud.
01:15:26Ruining everything.
01:15:28You're going to regret sending me away.
01:15:32Who do you think you are coming in here and barking orders?
01:15:35I'm the most powerful man in this room, girly.
01:15:41So you better learn to respect me.
01:15:43Oh!
01:15:47You are hilarious, Benjamin.
01:15:50That's Commissioner Roger Gould.
01:15:52If anybody can set the record straight, it's him.
01:15:55You're about as powerful as a beetle under my shoe.
01:15:59If you're looking for the most powerful person in this room,
01:16:01look no further than the man in front of you.
01:16:05Hell.
01:16:08He's about to be the most powerful and influential man in the whole league.
01:16:18Roddy, are you going senile already?
01:16:20No, are you?
01:16:21You hand-delivered us two VIP silver tickets.
01:16:24You know what?
01:16:25Maybe it's time to start thinking about an early retirement.
01:16:27Because the league's going to shit under your management.
01:16:31And after I get into the Hall of Fame,
01:16:33my first order is going to be getting you removed.
01:16:38You think you're the one being honored here tonight?
01:16:42As long as I have a say,
01:16:45you will never make it into the Hall of Fame.
01:16:51Fine.
01:16:52Then it's Cole.
01:16:53And I taught him everything he knows.
01:16:55And he listens to me.
01:16:56So get ready to bend the fucking knee.
01:16:58Yeah.
01:17:00But you got to prove you're not useless.
01:17:02Get this old man out of here,
01:17:03and I might take it easy on you.
01:17:05You know, Cole's right.
01:17:06If he was the inductee,
01:17:08you would have the power to send me away.
01:17:10You're all right.
01:17:11I don't belong here with you.
01:17:15I belong on that stage.
01:17:17Behind the podium.
01:17:19The only person allowed up there
01:17:21is the legend who's being inducted tonight.
01:17:24You are a self-righteous, self-centered prick.
01:17:29You think that you're getting inducted?
01:17:31They haven't even announced who has the gold ring.
01:17:34You sure about that?
01:17:46That looks like the one and only golden ring.
01:17:49That means he must be the Hall of Fame legend.
01:17:54Holy shit, it's you?
01:17:56Okay.
01:17:57Now you're impersonating the inductee.
01:18:00Just when I thought you couldn't stoop any lower.
01:18:04I can believe it.
01:18:05He's willing to take his kid's achievement
01:18:07and treat them like his own.
01:18:11All right, all right.
01:18:11Where'd you steal this from?
01:18:13Check the name.
01:18:16No, it can't be.
01:18:29Tonight is both my honor and my privilege
01:18:33to induct a legend amongst men
01:18:36into basketball history.
01:18:38Please put your hands together
01:18:40and welcome into the Hall of Fame
01:18:46Marcel Sniper Wallace.
01:19:05Congratulations.
01:19:06Coach Combo Meals, the fucking sniper?
01:19:08No way.
01:19:09He conned you, Roddy,
01:19:10just like he conned this whole league.
01:19:12Look, I have proof
01:19:13that this man has been rigging games
01:19:16illegally for profit this season.
01:19:19Is this what you're talking about?
01:19:21I'm not going to confess
01:19:22to rigging games for profit.
01:19:24I signed that as the agreement.
01:19:26You forced me into it.
01:19:27Eh, good enough.
01:19:28I can splice something together.
01:19:30This is blackmail.
01:19:31You won't get away with it.
01:19:33Obviously, this is a setup.
01:19:34He's trying to frame me.
01:19:35Nice try.
01:19:36But Billings was apprehended earlier tonight
01:19:38and guess what?
01:19:39He squealed like a pig.
01:19:40That's right, Murray.
01:19:42You and Billings have been rigging games
01:19:44right out of the league's nose for years.
01:19:46And that ends now.
01:19:50This is clearly some elaborate scheme
01:19:52to keep you people distracted
01:19:54from the fact that this man
01:19:55isn't who he says he is.
01:19:57I have had just about enough of you.
01:20:00I can prove that Marcel was and is
01:20:05the sniper.
01:20:13This...
01:20:16This is really you?
01:20:18I wanted to tell you sooner,
01:20:20but I wanted you to have your moment.
01:20:24Fuck this!
01:20:25Oh my God, I just killed you
01:20:27instead of your useless wife.
01:20:29All of this would be mine.
01:20:31The championships, the glory, the...
01:20:35You?
01:20:36You accused me of killing my wife
01:20:39and you know the reason she's dead?
01:20:41Stay back for me
01:20:42or I will kill him for real.
01:20:45You accused me of killing my wife
01:20:48and you know the reason she's dead?
01:20:50Stay back for me
01:20:51or I will kill him for real.
01:21:01No one threatens my son.
01:21:15Enjoy prison, Tyler.
01:21:18Enjoy prison, Tyler.
01:21:23Tyler Murray, Colt Duncan.
01:21:25You're under arrest
01:21:26for illegally rigging league games
01:21:27for progress.
01:21:28You set me up, Billingsley!
01:21:30You're a cheater?
01:21:31A fucking murderer?
01:21:33I never should have hired you
01:21:35in the first place.
01:21:37From now on,
01:21:39my money's on tonight.
01:21:42Benny gave us everything that we needed
01:21:44for an outright case against you.
01:21:46And that was before you confessed
01:21:47to killing my wife.
01:21:48It's over, motherfucker.
01:21:50You promised you wouldn't say anything.
01:21:51You destroyed my career.
01:21:53I'm going to fucking kill you!
01:21:55We're all going to regret this.
01:21:56I'm going to see every single one of you in court.
01:22:01That's what you did for my family.
01:22:19I am blessed to be here,
01:22:22to be honored as one of the greatest basketball players
01:22:24to ever play.
01:22:29But first,
01:22:30I would like to honor
01:22:32Regina Wallace.
01:22:33A mother
01:22:35and a wife
01:22:35taken too soon.
01:22:37But most of all,
01:22:38I'd like to thank
01:22:39my son, Mars.
01:22:41You gave me the courage
01:22:42to take my life back,
01:22:43and
01:22:44I wouldn't be here
01:22:45if you hadn't given your old man
01:22:46a second chance.
01:22:47I lost my mom,
01:22:49and my dad lied to me
01:22:50about who he was
01:22:51my whole life.
01:23:12So, you've got your
01:23:13holo-themed title now.
01:23:15So, what do you need me for?
01:23:20You were two weeks old
01:23:21when your mom was killed.
01:23:24I didn't know what to do.
01:23:26I didn't know how to raise you by myself.
01:23:28I had so much pain,
01:23:29and I just wanted it to go away.
01:23:34I needed you.
01:23:38You walked away
01:23:39when I was just a kid.
01:23:41I know.
01:23:42I abandoned you,
01:23:43my son.
01:23:45and I lived
01:23:46in fear
01:23:46and guilt
01:23:47and I'm sorry.
01:23:49I want to believe him.
01:23:51But after a lifetime
01:23:52of empty promises,
01:23:53I'm scared
01:23:55he'll walk away again.
01:23:58These are for you.
01:24:03It's 20 letters.
01:24:05I wrote one every year
01:24:06on your birthday.
01:24:10I never forgot you.
01:24:22I love you.
01:24:25Some pardon.
01:24:30I can't believe
01:24:31the sniper's my dad.
01:24:34There's a lot of things
01:24:35you don't know about me.
01:24:37like
01:24:38how you're hooking up
01:24:39with the CFO of the UBA.
01:24:44Mom would want you to be happy.
01:24:47So do I, I guess.
01:24:56I can't believe
01:24:57I'm dating the sniper.
01:25:05Your son's lucky
01:25:06to have you.
01:25:08I'm lucky one.
01:25:11Hey, Mars.
01:25:14You want to get a burger?
01:25:15that's the Emperor hmm.
01:25:22I agree,
01:25:22Bye-bye.
01:25:24Bye-bye.
01:25:27Still birthday.
