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
00:02:31Take care of my son
00:02:33No
00:02:38We've gathered here today to crown the season's 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?
00:22:47That's a record-breaking shot.
00:22:51What the hell?
00:22:53How did he score from 94 fucking feet?
00:22:57No one's made a full court shot since the sniper.
00:22:59Who is this guy?
00:23:01That's a record-breaking shot.
00:23:03I haven't seen style like that in 20 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 going to throw out your back.
00:23:13You still need a miracle to win.
00:23:16Coach, where'd you get those mad skills?
00:23:18We might have a chance.
00:23:19Give us an over. Full court press.
00:23:21Got it.
00:23:24Give it up, old man. It's too late.
00:23:27You sure about that?
00:23:28When we win, I'm going to need you to apologize to my son for your foul play.
00:23:32When you lose, you and your choke of a son are going to leave this league,
00:23:36and you can go back to what you're actually good at.
00:23:39I'm flipping burgers.
00:23:40You're on.
00:23:47How are you supposed to win? You can't hold on to the ball.
00:23:49This old man is too good.
00:23:55For God's sake, someone stop him!
00:23:58Seven seconds on the clock and only one basket away from tying the game.
00:24:02If Coach can pull off this shot, he'll go down in league history.
00:24:09Run down the clock!
00:24:25Are we about to witness a miracle?
00:24:27With three seconds left, the game is tied.
00:24:30One more basket, and Coach Combo makes history.
00:24:33There's only three seconds left. Can you really do this?
00:24:39Lightning on three.
00:24:42One, two, three!
00:24:43Lightning!
00:24:46This one's for you, son.
00:24:54This assistant coach took the worst team in the UBA to the playoffs.
00:24:59And now he's on the court, dominating guys half his age.
00:25:02He came out of nowhere, but he looks so familiar.
00:25:11He'll all be worth it when you win and Murray gets us paid.
00:25:32Let's go.
00:25:33Whatever it takes.
00:25:35You said your eye for talent was unmatched, Murray.
00:25:40How did he get past you?
00:25:42I don't know. Scoring in three seconds, it's impossible.
00:25:48If we lose, we'll be the joke of the lead.
00:25:51Then triple fucking team him!
00:25:55Triple team won't work on me.
00:26:12Oh my god, he has the ball.
00:26:16That's a foul!
00:26:25Oh my god, he has the ball.
00:26:30See? I told you we'd choke.
00:26:33I don't choke.
00:26:34Let me remind you of who I really am.
00:26:36Oh my god, that's the sniper's signature move!
00:26:39It's the kill shot!
00:26:44Choke.
00:26:44Let me remind you of who I really am.
00:26:47Oh my god, that's the sniper's signature move!
00:26:49It's the kill shot!
00:27:18Let's go!
00:27:22Could it be the sniper?
00:27:25The missing god of ball?
00:27:35That was the sniper's signature move!
00:27:38No one has been able to do that since he dominated the court!
00:27:45Coach Carmobile and the lightnings 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 Resch.
00:28:04Coach, you're retiring?
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!
00:28:33My 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.
00:28:45You got the win.
00:28:47All for you, son.
00:28:49But 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.
00:29:31And he's never coming back.
00:29:33Or should 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.
00:30:03Then 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?
00:30:15You 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, Dean Landon!
00:30:48Woo!
00:30:49Woo!
00:30:50Woo!
00:30:51Woo!
00:30:51Woo!
00:30:51Woo!
00:30:55Woo!
00:30:58Woo!
00:30:58You'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?
00:31:32You helped win us one big playoff game combo meal, but if you can get us that trophy, then
00:31:39maybe I'll call you, Coach.
00:31:40After my wife was murdered, I thought it was done with basketball forever.
00:31:44I never expected it could bring me back to my son.
00:31:47Coach Rush, I'd be honored to accept your offer.
00:31:53I am not letting this fast food fraud get his greasy paws on my trophy.
00:31:59I got it.
00:32:12All right, everyone.
00:32:14Lightning on three.
00:32:15One, two, three.
00:32:18Not so fast.
00:32:25He assaulted my player.
00:32:28Challenging 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. I had nothing to do with this.
00:32:41Bullshit!
00:32:41You knew that you couldn't compete with my number one draft pick.
00:32:44So while everyone was distracted with your unsportsmanlike flopping,
00:32:48you pushed him.
00:32:50You and your desperate son just wanted to ruin my career.
00:32:56Bitter old fuck.
00:32:59You just own a real talent when you see it.
00:33:01Clearly, you don't know when to hang it up and let the next generation have their turn.
00:33:06You are a washed-up alcoholic cheating your way to the finals.
00:33:09This team earned their position here.
00:33:12It's not our fault that 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 that we're not going to press charges.
00:33:20My advice, go back to flipping burgers before you hurt someone else.
00:33:24Not a chance.
00:33:26What would you expect from a washed-up alcoholic who steals the spotlight from his own son?
00:33:31The 99ers deserve a ticket to the finals, unlike your entitled assistant coach.
00:33:37Hey, that's head coach.
00:33:39Maybe that was a mistake.
00:33:44I mean, clearly, he'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, what, to prove that you're just some legendary baller?
00:33:53You haven't been sober my whole life.
00:33:55How can any of us trust you?
00:33:57My son still sees me as an absent alcoholic dad.
00:34:01Your son's right.
00:34:03I collapsed on the 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 since he joined the Lightning.
00:34:12You know, you can all look down on me and my team.
00:34:14That's fine.
00:34:16But you can't deny the word of the commissioner.
00:34:23Congrats on the new job, Mr. Commissioner.
00:34:26What a marvelous win, old friend.
00:34:29You know, I cannot believe you found that guy at a Zippy Burger drive-thru.
00:34:33You know, I bet he'd give the sniper a run for his money.
00:34:36Unless you're about to tell me that he is the sniper.
00:34:39Marcel made me promise to keep his true identity a secret.
00:34:42Everyone will find out when the time is right.
00:34:44Well, perhaps wishful thinking.
00:34:46Now that I'm commissioner, I get to choose the next basketball hall of fame inductee.
00:34:51If the lost god of ball has been found, it has to be him.
00:34:55Hold up, Mr. Commissioner.
00:34:59We need the commissioner down here.
00:35:01Stats.
00:35:02I want him to look these clouds in the eyes and tell them that the Lightning made it to the
00:35:05final spare and square.
00:35:07Mr. Commissioner, we need you on the court.
00:35:09Let's go.
00:35:12And I don't play dirty.
00:35:14For accusing me, I 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 the commissioner on the phone.
00:35:27Coach would never betray us like that.
00:35:30But the man I know had no problem dropping his family for 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 this whole time?
00:35:44Clearly, this conniving junkie is dangerous.
00:35:49Stop.
00:35:58This is the most pathetic attempt at gaslighting I've ever witnessed.
00:36:02We all saw the play in super slow-mo.
00:36:05It was fair.
00:36:05So you think because you push papers and throw cash at washed-up has-beens that you actually know bald?
00:36:14What the hell gives a woman like you the right to call a fair play?
00:36:18Don't take the bait.
00:36:20Can't argue with someone who believes their own bullshit.
00:36:22Then maybe he should focus on the facts.
00:36:24Like how his team's reversals fell 30% this season.
00:36:29Congratulations, Coach.
00:36:32That ticket to the final should be mine.
00:36:49The Lightning won fair and square.
00:36:51Go home before I have you blacklisted from the league.
00:36:54Who the hell are you?
00:37:00That's the Lightning GM.
00:37:02He used to be coach of that whack-ass Eagles team that got cut from the league.
00:37:07Isn't that right?
00:37:08You don't have the authority to kick me out.
00:37:14Hey, what's this?
00:37:15Hank Santini, coach of the losing team.
00:37:17Are these your performance-enhancing drugs?
00:37:27I only answer to the league commissioner.
00:37:30I don't waste my breath arguing with losers.
00:37:33Mars and his coach worked miracles tonight.
00:37:36You don't deserve to step anywhere near that finals court.
00:37:40I'm the head coach of the top league franchise.
00:37:44You're just an old bag of bones who can't coach for shit.
00:37:49You should get yourself an apron and join him at the drive-thru.
00:37:54Boss, are you okay?
00:37:56Boss?
00:37:59Allow me to introduce you to Roderick Gould, the new league commissioner.
00:38:12Roderick Gould?
00:38:14Hey, this was just a big misunderstanding.
00:38:16Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry.
00:38:18I have a concussion.
00:38:19You almost cost my son his chance at the finals.
00:38:22Both of you are a disgrace to our entire organization.
00:38:27You're blacklisted from 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 before 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 you can ball like that?
00:38:56His face is so familiar.
00:38:58Team Lightning, I have never seen such a miraculous comeback in all my time with the league.
00:39:03Especially not by an assistant coach.
00:39:06You mean head coach.
00:39:09Congratulations.
00:39:11You're going to the finals.
00:39:14Let's go, boss.
00:39:16You're going to the finals.
00:39:23You deserve it, son.
00:39:28Wrong.
00:39:29You're going to save the team that was almost sold for parts, man.
00:39:32Couldn't have done it without our star point guard.
00:39:40Means a lot.
00:39:44Mars, you remind me of the sniper when he was first coming up.
00:39:48Yeah?
00:39:49Thank you so much, sir.
00:39:50I mean, he's kind of my hero.
00:39:53He still doesn't know I'm the sniper.
00:39:56Would he believe me now?
00:39:57Would he understand why I left it all behind?
00:40:00Speaking of the sniper, your style on court looks almost identical to his.
00:40:04Did you train with him or something?
00:40:08I got to meet the press.
00:40:10But I'll see you all at the finals.
00:40:12Excuse me.
00:40:14Let's take that trophy home, boys!
00:40:16Yeah!
00:40:18Sorry, Sap and his son are not taking my trophy.
00:40:24It's a history-making day here at the league finals with the Lightning facing off against the Scorpions.
00:40:30Team Lightning is the underdog, but with rising star Mars Davis and their wildcard coach, anything could happen.
00:40:36The Scorpion have championship coach Tyler Murray and his comeback king Cole Duncan.
00:40:43It'll take a miracle for them to win this.
00:40:45Where the hell is Mars?
00:40:47We barely made it through the playoffs.
00:40:50And the Scorpions, they body every single team they play.
00:40:53We need our star point guard.
00:40:57Have we heard from him yet?
00:41:02You got this team to the final.
00:41:04But if Mars is MIA, they can be humiliated on that court.
00:41:09The Scorpions will do anything they can to tear us down.
00:41:12We won't let them win.
00:41:14You sure about that?
00:41:18You and your jacked-up team of Amateurs.
00:41:21No match for us.
00:41:23All right, the only hope you have is Mars.
00:41:26But, uh, where's he at?
00:41:29Does he know the game starts in an hour?
00:41:32Hope he turns up.
00:41:33Otherwise, we may as well forward it.
00:41:45Come meet me on the 17th floor in 10 minutes.
00:41:48You're gonna come alone and you'll tell no one.
00:41:50Otherwise, you're never gonna see your son again.
00:41:56Take care of our son.
00:42:01I'm supposed to keep him safe.
00:42:05The game starts in an hour.
00:42:06He can't leave now.
00:42:07Mars doesn't show who's gonna 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, Mr. 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 in this deal.
00:42:38Now, your dipshit daddy's got a shot clock that's ticking down.
00:42:41I want to see if he's gonna pick you or his basketball career.
00:42:44What do you think?
00:42:49I want to see if he's gonna pick you or his basketball career.
00:42:50Dad!
00:42:53You actually showed up.
00:42:55You picked your son over your own career.
00:42:58Father of the year!
00:43:01Tyler, your problems are with me, not my son.
00:43:03You're damn right they are!
00:43:04I was born to be a winner.
00:43:07A winner!
00:43:09They have money and power and respect.
00:43:12I didn't claw my way to the finals just to have some loser who was fetching fries last
00:43:18week steal it from me!
00:43:20Cut him loose and we can talk about this.
00:43:25You want to talk?
00:43:26There is nothing to talk about.
00:43:28The stunt in the playoffs cost me a lot of money.
00:43:32And it almost exposed a very delicate operation.
00:43:36So you're gonna throw the game today.
00:43:38I'm gonna be champion.
00:43:40Or what?
00:43:42I'm so glad you asked.
00:43:44Or your son is gonna suffer!
00:43:52Fine, we'll throw the game.
00:43:55What?
00:43:58Let me just untie him.
00:43:59You think I'm stupid?
00:44:01I'm just gonna take your word?
00:44:03No.
00:44:05I had my lawyers draft up.
00:44:06A nice little admission of guilt here.
00:44:10Says, I, the head coach of the Lightning, admit to illegally rigging games for profit, including
00:44:16the 2026 finals.
00:44:19Yadda yadda yadda.
00:44:20Blah blah blah.
00:44:22Sign this.
00:44:23Throw the game.
00:44:24And no one will ever find out about our little deal.
00:44:28This motherfucker's scared shitless!
00:44:30Don't sign anything!
00:44:39Your son has no manners.
00:44:43I guess that's what he gets when his daddy's an absent alcoholic.
00:44:48Now you're gonna sign the contract, or I'm gonna break his legs.
00:44:52Don't fucking touch him.
00:44:55Alright, you have five seconds.
00:44:57Or I'm gonna break him.
00:44:59He's bluffing.
00:44:59Don't listen to him.
00:45:00Five, four, don't, three, two, one.
00:45:16Five, four, don't, three, two, one.
00:45:27I'm sorry, I'm fucking contract.
00:45:35That's a good choice.
00:45:37I mean, you signed the death wish for Team Lightning.
00:45:40You saved your son's legs.
00:45:42And murdered his career.
00:45:45But like I said, father of the year.
00:45:50Now, while I have you here, one more thing.
00:45:52I'm just gonna need you to admit to what you just did.
00:45:55I need a little bit of extra insurance.
00:45:56I'm not gonna confess.
00:45:58I'm not gonna confess to 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 would 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 and gave up when it got hard.
00:46:41Just like you always do.
00:46:43I gave up my career.
00:46:45For you.
00:46:46Don't you get it?
00:46:47If you go down, I go down with you.
00:46:51I knew I should have sent your ass packing when 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 take the championship,
00:47:06then everything he worked for goes up in flames.
00:47:09The last time I won the finals,
00:47:11I lost everything.
00:47:29But I won't let that happen to my son.
00:47:31I won't let them win.
00:47:33But I can make them think that they're going to.
00:47:38Marcel, thank God.
00:47:39Are you and Mars?
00:47:40We'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.
00:47:48Welcome back to the 2026 UBA Finals.
00:47:55Tonight, we have the lightning playing against the Scorpions.
00:48:00This is the biggest rival in UVA history.
00:48:22The lightning and the Scorpion haven't met in the finals since 2006.
00:48:27Tyler Murray himself played in that game, but he fell to the sniper.
00:48:40Wait a minute.
00:48:41Coach Combo Meal is here?
00:48:48Coach Combo Meal is back on the court.
00:48:50You'd never know he was slinging burgers three months ago.
00:48:54I bet he couldn't pass up the chance to join his son Mars on the court.
00:48:58They'll go down in history as the first father-son duo to play together in a finals game.
00:49:03You showed up.
00:49:04You're just putting yourself in the game to make sure we'd lose.
00:49:08You see, I'm pretty surprised you suited up.
00:49:10Because you and I both know how this ends.
00:49:13That's what he thinks.
00:49:15What can I say?
00:49:16I couldn't resist one more shot on the court.
00:49:18Yeah, of course he couldn't.
00:49:22This team's already imploding.
00:49:24Getting this championship trophy will be a walk in the park.
00:49:27Well, gentlemen, I'd say good luck, but I just don't care.
00:49:32Scorpions, let's go.
00:49:40I'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 going to do to add.
00:50:45Cool Duncan is on fire.
00:50:48The Scorpions are dominating.
00:50:51The Lightning better step it up.
00:50:53Shoot, go.
00:50:53Fuck, fuck.
00:50:57Hey, hey.
00:50:58Fuck, fuck.
00:51:01Dude, what are you doing?
00:51:03Bro, why are you playing like you're alone?
00:51:06Just get back on defense.
00:51:10Defense.
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, bro.
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.
00:52:26Enough!
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.
00:52:44Why'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.
00:53:23Welcome back from halftime.
00:53:25The Scorpions are dominating the game in the first half.
00:53:30Morris.
00:53:32God damn it!
00:53:35God!
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.
00:53:57Clear it.
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.
00:54:18We can still win this.
00:54:20But you have to trust me.
00:54:22If we play together, they can't beat us.
00:54:24Morris, you've got everything you need right here.
00:54:27Let's go out there and win this for the team.
00:54:35Let's go out there and win this for the team.
00:54:38Okay.
00:54:46Go! Go!
00:54:47We're not allowed!
00:55:18Mars Davies just executed the snipers' kill shot dunk.
00:55:25It's the end of the third quarter.
00:55:27Lightning is only down by two points now.
00:55:30Could my dad be him?
00:55:31The 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.
00:55:52The Lightning are down by two.
00:55:54Will they make their comeback?
00:55:57Yup, yup.
00:56:03Coach, you're a legend.
00:56:05If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
00:56:35What a comeback!
00:56:37With father and son working as a team, they might have to do it.
00:56:39You might have a chance.
00:56:41The Lightning are up by one.
00:56:43Can they keep the comeback?
00:56:45Whoa, hold on.
00:56:47Is that Tyler Murray?
00:56:51Is this 2006?
00:56:53All we're missing is the god of ball himself.
00:57:01If you're not going to lose, I'll just have to beat you fair and square.
00:57:04The 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!
00:57:22We're not leaving here without a trophy.
00:57:24Full core press!
00:57:25Let's go, 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.
00:57:33But I can.
00:57:42That's a foul, ref!
00:57:45You okay?
00:57:46When did he get so good?
00:57:49Here, come on.
00:57:51They're neck and neck.
00:57:53Only two minutes left.
00:57:55Team Lightning is running out of time.
00:58:09Go, go, go!
00:58:10Come on, come on!
00:58:11We have to win!
00:58:12These losers can't beat us!
00:58:14We win at any cost!
00:58:16You get him!
00:58:19Where are you gonna go now, dipshit?
00:58:22What?
00:58:23What?
00:58:39What they have to do?
00:58:40This thing has got the Π΄ΡΡΠ·ΡΡ back in class.
00:58:41Come, ladies!
00:58:41I'm going nuts.
00:58:45Don't run!
00:58:50Promised-
00:58:59Nobody's pulled that off since the guy who invented it.
00:59:05Game over.
00:59:06Unbelievable!
00:59:08What a comeback play from the Lightning.
00:59:10They just won the 2006 QBA Championship.
00:59:14Yeah!
00:59:28Yes!
00:59:29Yes!
00:59:30Yes!
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!
00:59:38I 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, Marce.
01:00:11It'd be Marce, the new face of the league.
01:00:16Congratulations, Coach.
01:00:17Uh, don't tell anybody, but I was rooting for you.
01:00:24And, uh...
01:00:25I came across this old basketball card.
01:00:31Where'd you get this?
01:00:33Is my dad really the sniper?
01:00:45Now 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
01:01:01with 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.
01:01:20We'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.
01:02:00Thanks 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 and find out?
01:02:27Close your eyes.
01:02:45Close your eyes.
01:02:53And I love the dance.
01:02:55Give it over to the Gandhi.
01:02:56Your patients are responsible for having a great job.
01:02:56& did you just close this family presSave for yourself?
01:02:56Oh, my they didn't make advice.
01:02:57We'll go home safe.
01:02:58I love you.
01:02:58You're both the same.
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.
01:03:56Wrong 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, and 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?
01:05:56I'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.
01:06:27Well, I see you and Robin.
01:06:33Well, she asked me to be her date to the Hall of Fame soon.
01:06:40Damn.
01:06:42I only give out 20 of these.
01:06:43But you won't be needing that.
01:06:47Because I got this.
01:06:53There'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.
01:08:11This man is about to be criminally investigated for rigging games for profit this season.
01:08:20Yeah, this criminal shouldn't be allowed in here.
01:08:25Are you sure you're not the criminals?
01:08:28Criminals.
01:08:30We are silver VIP ticket guests of the commissioner himself.
01:08:35Thanks to me.
01:08:37Congratulations.
01:08:38Hey, 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,
01:09:02because you have no right to be here.
01:09:10Actually, I 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, yeah, 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.
01:10:16It'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?
01:10:36A date?
01:10:39Oh, no.
01:10:40Don'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.
01:10:51You know, you could have had a real man with real money, real power.
01:10:55But 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.
01:11:41How 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 going to 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.
01:12:04That'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.
01:12:55That was his wife?
01:12:56I started drinking.
01:12:58I lost myself in the grief and the guilt.
01:13:00So I walked away from my son because I didn't want the terrible thing that happened to my wife to
01:13:05happen to him.
01:13:06So I changed my name and got a job at Sippy Burger.
01:13:09That's where I ran into Amari.
01:13:13What, now you're stealing the sniper's sob story?
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-thru.
01:13:27What the fuck?
01:13:36She had nothing to do with my mom's death.
01:13:42That's his son, the 2026 MVP, Barzavis.
01:13:46He is a goat in the making.
01:13:48We'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.
01:13:59Barz 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.
01:15:00Well, when he tells you to jump, I'd say, how high?
01:15:07I don't jump off the court, especially for small men like you.
01:15:12You are ruining this prestigious event.
01:15:15Event security!
01:15:21Remove this man.
01:15:24Get him out of here, fast food fraud.
01:15:26He's ruining 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.
01:15:40Oh, girly, so 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, look no further than the man in front of
01:16:04you.
01:16:05Hell.
01:16:08He's about to be the most powerful and influential man in the whole league.
01:16:17Roddy, 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,
01:16:28because the league's going to shit under your management.
01:16:31And after I get into the Hall of Fame, my 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, you will never make it into the Hall of Fame.
01:16:51Fine.
01:16:52Then it's cool.
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.
01:16:59But you gotta prove you're not useless.
01:17:02Get this old man out of here and I might take it easy on you.
01:17:05You know, Cole's right.
01:17:06If he was the inductee, you 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 is 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.
01:17:58Now you're impersonating the inductee.
01:18:01Just 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 and treat him 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 to induct a legend amongst men into basketball history.
01:18:38Please put your hands together and welcome into the Hall of Fame.
01:18:45Marcel Sniper Wallace.
01:19:04Congratulations.
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 that this man has been rigging games illegally for profit this season.
01:19:19Is this what you're talking about?
01:19:21I'm not going to confess to rigging games for profit.
01:19:24I signed that as the agreement.
01:19:26You forced me into it.
01:19:27Good 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.
01:19:41You and Billings have been rigging games right out of the league's nose for years.
01:19:46And that ends now.
01:19:50This is clearly some elaborate scheme to keep you people distracted from the fact that this
01:19:55man isn't who he says he is.
01:19:57I have had just about enough of you.
01:19:59I can prove that Marcel was and is the sniper.
01:20:16This is really you?
01:20:18I wanted to tell you sooner, but I wanted you to have your moment.
01:20:24Fuck this!
01:20:26My guy, I just killed you instead of your useless wife!
01:20:29All of this would be mine!
01:20:30The championships!
01:20:32The glory!
01:20:32The...
01:20:35You?
01:20:36You accused me of killing my wife, and you know the reason she's dead?
01:20:41Stay back from me, or I will kill him for real!
01:20:45You accused me of killing my wife, and you know the reason she's dead?
01:20:50Stay back from me, or I will kill him for real!
01:20:54Dad.
01:21:01No one threatens my son.
01:21:15Enjoy prison, Tyler.
01:21:18Enjoy prison, Tyler.
01:21:22Tyler Murray, Colt Duncan, you're under arrest for illegally rigging league games for profit.
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 in the first place.
01:21:37From now on, my money's on tonight.
01:21:42Benny gave us everything that we needed for an outright case against you, and that was before you confessed to
01:21:47killing my wife.
01:21:48It's over, motherfucker.
01:21:50Did you promise you wouldn't say anything?
01:21:52You destroyed my career, I'm gonna fucking kill you!
01:21:55You're all gonna regret this.
01:21:56I'm gonna 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, to be honored as one of the greatest basketball players to ever play.
01:22:29But first, I would like to honor Regina Wallace, a mother and a wife taken too soon.
01:22:37But most of all, I'd like to thank my son, Mars.
01:22:41You gave me the courage to take my life back, and I wouldn't be here if you hadn't given your
01:22:46old man a second chance.
01:22:47I lost my mom, and my dad lied to me about who he was my whole life.
01:23:12So you've got your holo-themed title now?
01:23:15So what do you need me for?
01:23:20You were two weeks old when 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, and I just wanted it to go away.
01:23:34I needed you.
01:23:38You walked away when I was just a kid.
01:23:40I know.
01:23:42I abandoned you, my son.
01:23:45And I lived in fear and guilt, and I am sorry.
01:23:49I want to believe him.
01:23:51But after a lifetime of empty promises, I'm scared he'll walk away again.
01:23:58These are for you.
01:24:0320 letters.
01:24:05I wrote one every year on your birthday.
01:24:10I never forgot you.
01:24:21I love you.
01:24:25So proud of me.
01:24:30I can't believe the sniper's my dad.
01:24:34There's a lot of things you don't know about me.
01:24:38Like how you're hooking up with the CFO of the UBA.
01:24:44Mom would want you to be happy.
01:24:47So do I, I guess.
01:24:56Can't believe I'm dating the sniper.
01:25:05Your son's lucky to have you.
01:25:08I'm lucky one.
01:25:11Hey, Mars.
01:25:14You want to get a burger?
01:25:16You want to get a burger?
