Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Welcome back to game seven of the UBA Finals.
00:00:04Unbelievable comeback.
00:00:05If the sniper can clinch a finals victory for the Lightning,
00:00:08he will be crowned the league's god of ball.
00:00:14Got this, baby.
00:00:15You're one shot away from becoming a legend.
00:00:17I never could have done this without you.
00:00:19And after the win tonight, I'm done with basketball.
00:00:23I'm tired of the long nights and the weeks away.
00:00:25It'll just be us and our son.
00:00:32I love you.
00:00:35Kill him, sniper.
00:00:40The Lightning's down by one and the Scorpions have the ball.
00:00:43They need one more stop to get the ball.
00:00:45Tyler Murray shoots it.
00:00:47Oh, the sniper stole it.
00:00:50He's heading to the front court.
00:00:53We have three seconds left.
00:00:55Can the sniper save the game?
00:01:01This is for you, baby.
00:01:06There's the release.
00:01:08No, he missed.
00:01:10Wait a sec.
00:01:12Is that his signature move?
00:01:15The sniper's signature kill shot just won the league finals.
00:01:20Yes!
00:01:37I could have done this without you.
00:01:47The Sniper will never steal another trophy from me again.
00:01:58I got my win, and now we get our happily ever after.
00:02:10Regina, no!
00:02:23My son. Take care of my son.
00:02:28No!
00:02:32So we've gathered here today to crown this season's MVP.
00:02:36A man who made the Lightning Champions.
00:02:39So put your hands together for the god of ball, a new league legend, the Sniper.
00:02:49After the death of a family member, the goat of basketball is retiring and disappeared.
00:03:00It was a robbery. A terrible accident.
00:03:03Don't give up your son, Marcel. You'll regret it forever.
00:03:07This never would have happened if I had made my wife a target.
00:03:11I'm not gonna put my son in danger, too.
00:03:27Basketball took everything from me.
00:03:33I'll never play again.
00:03:42How could I be so blind?
00:03:46I put basketball before my family.
00:03:49I put them in danger. This is what I deserve.
00:03:52Mars Davis, you're on fire.
00:03:54Does greatness run in the family?
00:03:56Who inspired you to pick up the ball?
00:03:58The Sniper. I mean, he's the best to ever do it.
00:04:01I'd give anything to Train Without Lost Legend.
00:04:03I was raised by my aunt after my alcoholic dad abandoned me.
00:04:07So any greatness you see?
00:04:09It's all me.
00:04:10My son doesn't know who I used to be, just who I was to him.
00:04:16It's been 20 years since my wife died.
00:04:18I picked up the bottle to numb the pain and never put it down.
00:04:22But Regina would hate to see me like this.
00:04:23A washed-up alcoholic, slinging burgers at a drive-thru.
00:04:28It's time to get my shit together.
00:04:32He's like the Steph Curry of burgers!
00:04:36Holy shit, I did it!
00:04:38Over 200 cars served per hour.
00:04:42You know what that means, guys.
00:04:44Bonus time!
00:04:48Biggest cut?
00:04:49For me.
00:04:50Scotty didn't do shit.
00:04:52It's your math skills that broke a record.
00:04:54I'm the reason we got that bonus.
00:04:56You gonna deny me my cut?
00:04:58Buddy, you've been drinking on the job.
00:05:01I should fire your ass.
00:05:02Our janitor guy quit this morning.
00:05:04So either you walk out of here broke and jobless, or you go clean up the puke in the bathroom.
00:05:12I've lost everything.
00:05:13I won't give up my last shred of dignity.
00:05:16No thanks.
00:05:18I quit.
00:05:20I quit.
00:05:21I mean, good luck.
00:05:22Who else is gonna hire a washed-up alcoholic?
00:05:33If the Lightning lose this playoff game, then the owner's gonna kill the team.
00:05:37I'm sorry.
00:05:39We need a Hail Mary.
00:05:41We need a Hail Mary.
00:05:51I haven't seen precision like that since the sniper.
00:05:55Did I just find the lost basketball legend?
00:05:59Holy shit, that's Omari Gibbs!
00:06:02Yo, Mr. Gibbs, can I have one autograph?
00:06:04As a general manager myself, I'd be honored to-
00:06:07Hey, Marcel!
00:06:10Come with me.
00:06:12We need you back in the game.
00:06:26We need the Sniper as the Lightning's assistant coach.
00:06:30No way.
00:06:32And don't call me that.
00:06:33The Sniper died a long time ago.
00:06:35We have one more game to save this team.
00:06:37We need a miracle.
00:06:39We need you.
00:06:40I gave up basketball 20 years ago.
00:06:44I'm not your guy.
00:06:45Wait.
00:06:47I wanna show you something.
00:06:51Pass your face!
00:06:52Screen up! D! D!
00:06:54Let's go, Mars!
00:06:55Get the basket!
00:06:56Ah!
00:06:57Yo, Mars could be one of the greats.
00:06:59We don't win this playoff game.
00:07:02The owner's gonna sell.
00:07:03They'll rebuild.
00:07:05Rebrand.
00:07:05And Mars Correa will go down with this team.
00:07:09We're up against the 99ers.
00:07:11He can't beat them on his own.
00:07:13I never thought I'd keep my son back.
00:07:16You could.
00:07:17If you coach him to the finals.
00:07:19He'll never respect you.
00:07:21Unless you show him that you deserve it.
00:07:23This is your chance to make a comeback.
00:07:27What's up?
00:07:28I've seen you ruin your own life.
00:07:30Don't ruin your sons too.
00:07:37Fine.
00:07:39I'll do it.
00:07:45But no one can know who I am.
00:07:47And I'm only coaching, I'm not playing.
00:07:49I'll never play again.
00:08:05Alright, listen up.
00:08:06The only reason this sorry for an excused team squeaked into the playoffs is because of Mars.
00:08:14But there's no way we're gonna...
00:08:16I mean, there's not a chance we survive unless we...
00:08:18Dad?
00:08:22What the hell are you doing here?
00:08:28I'm your new assistant coach.
00:08:29What do they call you?
00:08:31Coach combo meal?
00:08:34No, no fucking way.
00:08:36He's an alcoholic loser.
00:08:38He couldn't even stay sober long enough to raise his own son.
00:08:42I spent my whole life trying to be the opposite of you.
00:08:46Now you come to my house to coach me?
00:08:49I don't think so.
00:08:50What the hell is Mari thinking?
00:08:52We need a miracle to win this final, not a drive-thru drunk.
00:08:56No, what you need is better cuts, set some picks, and perfect your three-point game.
00:09:00You think it's that easy, old man?
00:09:03If you could hold on to the ball, what you lack in power you could make up for in precision.
00:09:07What do you know?
00:09:09The only thing I've ever seen you pick up is this damn flash.
00:09:14He's wasted.
00:09:15Don't hurt yourself, Gramps.
00:09:33Lucky shot.
00:09:35Don't let this drunk cunt fool you.
00:09:37When it comes to actual basketball, he's got nothing on me.
00:09:40What will it take for you to call me coach?
00:09:44A shooting contest.
00:09:45Three extreme shots.
00:09:48The best one to make him wins.
00:09:49If you win, you can stay.
00:09:51But if I win, you walk out.
00:09:55And never come back.
00:09:58I never wanted to play again.
00:10:00Especially not against my own son.
00:10:02But if I have to prove myself to protect him, deal.
00:10:10Morris, do you really think it's a good idea to let your loser dad be the coach of our most
00:10:14important game?
00:10:16I don't know.
00:10:18Let him show us what he's got.
00:10:19He's a useless deadbeat.
00:10:21He'll gas out before he even hits the first shot.
00:10:23Right.
00:10:27Alright.
00:10:28Three expert level shots.
00:10:30The step back three.
00:10:31The blind strike.
00:10:32And the clutch.
00:10:34Same sequence.
00:10:35Same time.
00:10:36You miss.
00:10:37You go again.
00:10:39No resets.
00:10:40No excuses.
00:10:42Three.
00:10:42Two.
00:10:44One.
00:10:45First up, the step back three point shoot.
00:10:48It's a difficult shot that requires pacing and core strength.
00:10:53How could he make it?
00:10:55Did you see that?
00:10:57Next up, the blind strike.
00:10:59It requires good memorization and a sixth sense.
00:11:04Even without looking.
00:11:08Bro, he's cooking you!
00:11:09Finally, the clutch.
00:11:11The most difficult shot you can do in the entire game.
00:11:14It means you're out of time and energy and you have one last shot.
00:11:18I've only seen one player pull it off 20 years ago.
00:11:21I'm rookie of the year and you're just some drunk patty push who works at a fast food joint.
00:11:25There's no way you could...
00:11:26You're gonna use the call to be coach.
00:11:34What?
00:11:44Who the hell is this guy?
00:11:46Why does he seem so familiar?
00:11:48The lightnings hail Mary.
00:12:02All right, everyone start sprints.
00:12:09Lars.
00:12:11You're the best player on this team.
00:12:12You can't just run off like that.
00:12:14You don't get to disappear for years and suddenly decide you're my dad again.
00:12:18Everything I have, I built by myself.
00:12:22Now, I'm not taking orders from you now.
00:12:23You can flash those fancy tricks all you want, but you don't actually know ball.
00:12:27You sure about that?
00:12:29Aunt Grace told me you played before I was born.
00:12:31But if you were any good, you wouldn't have become a worthless drunk now, would you?
00:12:34Unless this team wins tomorrow, your career is over.
00:12:37And I'm not gonna let that happen.
00:12:39We will win.
00:12:41It'll have nothing to do with you.
00:12:47I won't give up and walk away this time.
00:12:50I can't lose him forever.
00:12:53Son, wait!
00:12:58Okay, I'm sorry.
00:13:00Are you lost, Zippy Burger?
00:13:02Who did you steal this from?
00:13:06I didn't steal anything.
00:13:09Wait.
00:13:10So you're the Lightning's new assistant coach?
00:13:13Tyler Murray.
00:13:14My old rival.
00:13:16Recruiting from the drive-through.
00:13:19I mean, scraping the bottom of the barrel.
00:13:21How does it feel to play for a team that's about to be erased from league history?
00:13:25It'll feel great when we beat you.
00:13:28You won't even make it to the finals.
00:13:30The Lightning have been terrible ever since the Sniper went MIA, what, 20 years ago?
00:13:35Thanks to me, now the Scorpions rule.
00:13:38We should make it look like an accident.
00:13:40The Sniper will never steal another trophy from me again.
00:13:46And you're no Sniper.
00:13:47So I suggest you start burning your jerseys.
00:13:50You can learn how to flip burgers, work with this guy.
00:13:53Cause your basketball career?
00:13:55It's over.
00:13:56Don't talk to my son like that.
00:13:59So you're the alcoholic absent father.
00:14:02Ah.
00:14:03I can see why he wants nothing to do with you.
00:14:06Hey.
00:14:07Don't you worry.
00:14:08When your greasy dad here runs your team straight to the ground,
00:14:11I'll let you be my ball boy.
00:14:22You should teach your boys manners.
00:14:24The 99ers are going to destroy you.
00:14:27So I suggest you get ready to be laughed off the court.
00:14:30I'll let the score speak for itself.
00:14:40I'm about to coach a playoff game.
00:14:43I need to look the part.
00:14:51The Lightning started this season at the bottom of the barrel.
00:14:54But thanks to some stellar plays from rookie Mars Davis,
00:14:57they're in the playoffs going head to head with one of the league's top franchises.
00:15:01Coach Rush says their new assistant coach is a secret weapon.
00:15:04Is it true they recruited him from a fast food drive through?
00:15:25Is that the burger guy?
00:15:26No.
00:15:27It can't be.
00:15:29They call him Coach Combo Meal.
00:15:31There's no way a guy like that can call game when he plays.
00:15:35Everybody expects us to fail tonight.
00:15:37But if we focus, stick to the game plan.
00:15:39We can prove the world wrong.
00:15:41It's your show, Coach.
00:15:42Good luck.
00:15:43Only if we played two.
00:15:45This team would be unstoppable if we got him out on the court.
00:15:48Time to break the curse.
00:15:50All in, Team Lightning.
00:15:58Don't let him fool you guys.
00:16:00Combo Meal talks up a big game, but he'll give up on you when you need him most.
00:16:04I'm not going anywhere.
00:16:05Let's win this.
00:16:06Lightning on three.
00:16:07One, two, three.
00:16:08Lightning!
00:16:15Remember this face.
00:16:16I'm the legend that's gonna knock you and the Lightning out of this league for good.
00:16:26One, two, three.
00:16:29One, two, three!
00:16:33One, two!
00:16:36Two, three.
00:16:37The ball movement boys.
00:16:38That's the ball movement boys.
00:16:44Thank you baby.
00:16:48You shot!
00:16:50Who is that schlub playing Russia's assistant coach?
00:16:53It's Mars Davis's absent father.
00:16:56Guy's a total alcoholic, clearly just a pity hire.
00:16:59Mars Davis's father?
00:17:01Why does he look so familiar?
00:17:04These losers are humiliating you!
00:17:07Let's go, boys!
00:17:09Alcoholic or not, he's got them playing like a whole new team.
00:17:18Wait.
00:17:27What do you need to do?
00:17:40Where's the foul, ref?
00:17:42Come on!
00:17:43Foul! Come on, man!
00:17:45Where's the foul, ref?
00:17:50They can't beat us, so they're playing dirty.
00:17:57Foul, ref! Come on!
00:18:06Foul, ref! Come on!
00:18:08Go, floor! Stop!
00:18:10They're scared. Don't back down.
00:18:13Don't tell me what to do, old man.
00:18:20Stitches on Mars!
00:18:27Focus up. Behind the line.
00:18:35Get!
00:18:45What?
00:18:49Hey!
00:18:50Go the right!
00:18:51Yo!
00:18:52You blind, ref?
00:18:55Red, number fifteen, foul.
00:18:58Go!
00:18:59Go!
00:19:01Go!
00:19:01Go!
00:19:02Go!
00:19:03Go!
00:19:05This is a real blow for the Lightning.
00:19:07Unless Morris Davis makes a miraculous recovery,
00:19:10there's no way that they can come back from this.
00:19:12I told you they would dominate this team of washed-up losers.
00:19:21What?
00:19:22We're all out of subs.
00:19:23It's your last chance to win us.
00:19:25We have to forfeit.
00:19:29Wait.
00:19:31You've got your Hail Mary right here.
00:19:34I already drew up a player contract, just in case.
00:19:37Your team needs you on the court, coach.
00:19:41You want me to play?
00:19:42You shoot with the best accuracy I've ever seen.
00:19:46Between you and me,
00:19:47I want the Lightning to take those asshole 99ers down.
00:19:51You can save us.
00:19:52I'll win it all.
00:19:56There's no way that this out-of-shape excuse for a coach
00:19:59can bring them back from an eight-point deficit in 15 seconds.
00:20:03It's impossible.
00:20:04Go out there, coach.
00:20:06And I'll knock you down so hard, you know.
00:20:08You back up.
00:20:11If we lose, it's all over.
00:20:14The team.
00:20:15My career.
00:20:25If everyone finds out who I am, I put my son in danger too.
00:20:30I'm sorry, I can't get back on the court.
00:20:34I knew you were just a useless deadbeat.
00:20:36All you ever do is quit.
00:20:39I can't lose my son again.
00:20:43Morp it!
00:20:44Morp it!
00:20:45Morp it!
00:20:46Morp it!
00:20:47Morp it!
00:20:48Morp it!
00:20:48Morp it!
00:20:48Morp it!
00:20:48Guess Team Night Lightning has no choice.
00:20:53Wait.
00:20:55Give me a jersey.
00:20:57I'll play.
00:20:59I can't wait for this greasy dipshit to fall flat on his face.
00:21:03Wait a minute.
00:21:04Is that the coach wearing a player's jersey?
00:21:07Is he gonna play?
00:21:10The coach is warming up now.
00:21:13No.
00:21:16I'm back.
00:21:19The sniper finally shoots again.
00:21:22Damn, that coach cleaned up good.
00:21:24He reminds me of one of those old school league legends.
00:21:27Unless he's got the skills to match, the Lightning can kiss their careers goodbye.
00:21:31They've only got 15 seconds left to make an impossible comeback.
00:21:34There's no way he can pull this off.
00:21:38You know, when you lose, it'll actually be nice.
00:21:40I'll come by the restaurant and you can go put the fries in my bag.
00:21:43That old guy's not making it to our defense.
00:21:48What is he doing?
00:21:50He's running the wrong way down the court.
00:21:54What the hell's he doing?
00:21:55That loser's blowing the game.
00:21:57What are you, drunk old man or just lost?
00:22:00Is he trying to score?
00:22:01That's impossible!
00:22:03Nobody could score from the backcourt!
00:22:20No one's made a full court shot since the sniper.
00:22:24Who is this guy?
00:22:30I've seen him.
00:22:34Oh my God!
00:22:50I've heard a ton ofłu I did.
00:22:51What the hell?
00:22:52How did he score from 94 fucking feet?
00:22:56No one's made a full court shot since the sniper.
00:22:59Who is this guy?
00:23:00That's a record-breaking shot.
00:23:02I haven't seen Sal like that in 20 years.
00:23:05The lightning's still down by five with only 10 seconds left on the clock.
00:23:09Back it up, geezer.
00:23:10Try that again, you're gonna throw out your back.
00:23:13You still need a miracle to win.
00:23:15Coach, where'd you get those mad skills?
00:23:17We might have a chance.
00:23:19Game's on over. Full court press.
00:23:20Got it.
00:23:24Give it up, old man. It's too late.
00:23:26You sure about that?
00:23:27When we win, I'm gonna need you to apologize to my son for your foul play.
00:23:31When you lose, you and your joke of a son are gonna leave this league,
00:23:36and you can go back to what you're actually good at.
00:23:38Flipping burgers.
00:23:39You're on.
00:23:47How are you supposed to win if you can't hold on to the ball?
00:23:49This old man is too good.
00:23:54For God's sake, someone stop him!
00:23:57Seven seconds on the clock and only one basket away from tying the game.
00:24:01If Coach can pull off this shot, he'll go down in league history.
00:24:09Run down the clock!
00:24:24Are we about to witness a miracle?
00:24:26With three seconds left, the game is tied.
00:24:29One more basket and Coach Combo makes history.
00:24:33There's only three seconds left. Can you really do this?
00:24:38Lightning on three.
00:24:41One, two, three.
00:24:43Lightning!
00:24:45This one's for you, son.
00:24:53This assistant coach took the worst team in the UBA to the playoffs.
00:24:58And now he's on the court, dominating guys half his age.
00:25:02He came out of nowhere, but he looks so familiar.
00:25:11It'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 that your eye for talent was unmatched, Murray.
00:25:39How did he get past you?
00:25:42I don't know.
00:25:44Scoring 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!
00:25:54Triple team won't work on me.
00:26:11Oh my God, he has the ball.
00:26:16That's a foul!
00:26:30See?
00:26:31I told you we'd choke.
00:26:32I don't choke.
00:26:33Let me remind you of who I really am.
00:26:36Oh my God, that's the sniper's signature move!
00:26:38It's the kill shot!
00:26:44I don't choke.
00:26:45Let me remind you of who I really am.
00:26:48Oh my God, that's the sniper's signature move!
00:26:50It's the kill shot!
00:27:15Wow!
00:27:16Oh my God, that's the kill shot!
00:27:27Oh my God!
00:27:35Can't it be the sniper?
00:27:37for a signature move.
00:27:39No one has been able to do that
00:27:41since he dominated the court.
00:27:44Holy stomach!
00:27:46Coach Carmobile and the Lightning go to the finals!
00:27:53This man just made history.
00:27:58That geriatric joke stole our spot in the finals.
00:28:02Congratulations on a hell of a final season, Coach Rush.
00:28:05Coach, you're retiring?
00:28:08I just needed to find my successor.
00:28:13When I first saw you come into practice
00:28:15with your drive-through get-ups,
00:28:17I had no idea you were the legend.
00:28:19All 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 them.
00:28:37Good 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?
00:29:24Could he really be the sniper?
00:29:27No way.
00:29:28The sniper left the league decades ago.
00:29:31And he's never coming back.
00:29:33Well, 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.
00:30:03Then 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?
00:30:14You 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.
00:30:35My God, he did it.
00:30:37Now let's pull off a win like that since the sniper.
00:30:40Could it be?
00:30:41No.
00:30:42That guy dropped off the face here 20 years ago.
00:30:46Congratulations, Team Lighting Day!
00:30:54Front and center, coach.
00:30:55We 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.
00:31:10I've been trying to retire for years now.
00:31:13I just wanted to make sure the team would survive without me.
00:31:16What 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?
00:31:24Mind if your dad sticks around for a little while?
00:31:28What do you think, Morris?
00:31:29Mind if your dad sticks around for a little while?
00:31:32You helped win us one big playoff game combo meal,
00:31:35but if you can get us that trophy,
00:31:37then maybe I'll call you coach.
00:31:40After my wife was murdered,
00:31:41I thought I was done with basketball forever.
00:31:43I never expected it could bring me back to my son.
00:31:46Coach Rush,
00:31:48I'd be honored to accept your offer.
00:31:50Yeah!
00:31:53I am not letting this fast food fraud
00:31:56get his greasy paws on my trophy.
00:32:11All right, everyone.
00:32:13Lightning on three.
00:32:15One, two, three.
00:32:17Not so fast.
00:32:24He assaulted my player.
00:32:27Challenging the call.
00:32:31Assaulted?
00:32:32You need to get your eyes checked.
00:32:33You elbowed him in the chest,
00:32:35and he collapsed.
00:32:36It should have been a flagrant foul.
00:32:37It's a fair play.
00:32:38I had nothing to do with this.
00:32:39Bullshit!
00:32:40You knew that you couldn't compete
00:32:42with my number one draft pick.
00:32:43So while everyone was distracted
00:32:45with your unsportsmanlike flopping,
00:32:47you pushed him.
00:32:49You and your desperate son
00:32:51just wanted to ruin my career.
00:32:54You bitter old fuck!
00:33:25You just won't know real talent when you see it.
00:33:56An alcoholic who steals the spotlight from his own son.
00:33:57He has an absolute alcoholic dad.
00:33:59Your son's right.
00:34:01I collapsed on court.
00:34:03He's an addict.
00:34:04Feels like he drugged me.
00:34:06You all saw the play.
00:34:07He didn't touch you.
00:34:08I've seen Coach drink since he joined the Lightning.
00:34:11You know, you can all look down on me and my team.
00:34:13That's fine.
00:34:14But you can't deny the word of the commissioner.
00:34:22Congrats on the new job, Mr. Commissioner.
00:34:25What a marvelous win, old friend.
00:34:27You know, I cannot believe you found that guy
00:34:30at a Zippy Burger drive-thru.
00:34:31You know, I bet he'd give the sniper a run for his money.
00:34:34Unless you're about to tell me that he is the sniper.
00:34:38Marcel made me promise to keep his destroyed entity a secret.
00:34:40Everyone will find out when the time is right.
00:34:42Well, perhaps wishful thinking.
00:34:44Now that I'm commissioner,
00:34:46I get to choose the next basketball hall of fame inductee.
00:34:49If the lost god of ball has been found,
00:34:51it has to be him.
00:34:53Hold on, Mr. Squish.
00:34:57We need the commissioner down here, stat.
00:35:00I want him to look these clouds in the eyes
00:35:01and tell them that the Lightning made it
00:35:03to the finals fair and square.
00:35:05Mr. Commissioner, we need you on the court.
00:35:07Let's go.
00:35:11And I don't play dirty.
00:35:13For accusing me, I take a look in the mirror.
00:35:17Don't be so naive.
00:35:19Addicts are pathological liars.
00:35:21Okay, he's fooled everyone.
00:35:22I bet that wasn't even the commissioner on the phone.
00:35:25Coach would never betray us like that.
00:35:28But the man I know had no problem
00:35:30dropping his family for the bottle.
00:35:33Yo, did Coach really do that?
00:35:34I don't know.
00:35:35He's got mad skills.
00:35:38Has he been high this whole time?
00:35:41Clearly, this conniving junkie is dangerous.
00:35:47Stop!
00:35:56This is the most pathetic attempt at gaslighting
00:35:59I've ever witnessed.
00:36:00We all saw the play in super slow-mo.
00:36:02It was fair.
00:36:03So you think
00:36:04because you push papers
00:36:06and throw cash
00:36:08at washed-up has-beens
00:36:09that you actually know ball?
00:36:12What the hell gives a woman like you
00:36:13the right to call a fair play?
00:36:16Don't take the bait.
00:36:17Can't argue with someone
00:36:18who believes their own bullshit.
00:36:19Then maybe he should focus on the facts.
00:36:21Like how his team's reversals
00:36:22fell 30% this season.
00:36:26Congratulations, Coach.
00:36:30That ticket to the final should be mine.
00:36:46The Lightning won fair and square.
00:36:48Go home before I have you
00:36:50blacklisted from the league.
00:36:52Who the hell are you?
00:36:55Who the hell are you?
00:36:57That's the Lightning GM.
00:36:59He used to be coach
00:37:00of that whack-ass Eagles team
00:37:02that got cut from the league.
00:37:04Isn't that right?
00:37:05You don't have the authority
00:37:06to kick me out.
00:37:10Oh, what's this?
00:37:12Hank Santini,
00:37:13coach of the losing team.
00:37:14Are these your performance-enhancing drugs?
00:37:23I only answer to the league commissioner.
00:37:27I don't waste my breath
00:37:28arguing with losers.
00:37:30Mars and his coach
00:37:31worked miracles tonight.
00:37:33You don't deserve to step
00:37:34anywhere near that finals court.
00:37:37I'm the head coach
00:37:38of the top league franchise.
00:37:41You're just
00:37:42an old bag of bones
00:37:43who can't coach for shit.
00:37:46You should get yourself an apron
00:37:48and join him at the drive-thru.
00:37:51Boss, are you okay?
00:37:53Boss?
00:37:56Allow me to introduce you
00:37:58to Roderick Gould,
00:37:59the new league commissioner.
00:38:08Roderick Gould?
00:38:09Hey, this was just
00:38:11a big misunderstanding.
00:38:12Mr. Commissioner,
00:38:13I'm sorry.
00:38:14I have a concussion.
00:38:15You almost cost my son
00:38:16his chance at the finals.
00:38:18Both of you are a disgrace
00:38:20to our entire organization.
00:38:23You're blacklisted from the league.
00:38:25Mr. Gould, please look.
00:38:26Look, basketball.
00:38:27It's my life.
00:38:28Please, I will do anything.
00:38:30Save it.
00:38:31Get the fuck out of here
00:38:33before I call security.
00:38:34Go.
00:38:43I'm sorry I dabbed you.
00:38:45Don't blame you.
00:38:47I'm just not that guy anymore.
00:38:49How can I not tell
00:38:50you can ball like that?
00:38:52His face is so familiar.
00:38:54Team Lightning,
00:38:55I have never seen
00:38:56such a miraculous comeback
00:38:57in all my time
00:38:58with the league,
00:38:59especially not by
00:39:00an assistant coach.
00:39:01You mean head coach.
00:39:05Congratulations.
00:39:06You're going to the finals.
00:39:08Yeah!
00:39:10Let's go, boys!
00:39:12You're going to the finals.
00:39:13Yeah!
00:39:19You deserve it, son.
00:39:24Wrong.
00:39:25You saved the team
00:39:25that was almost sold for parts, man.
00:39:28Couldn't have done it
00:39:28without our star point guard.
00:39:35Means a lot.
00:39:39Mars, you remind me of the sniper
00:39:41when he was first coming up.
00:39:43Yeah?
00:39:44Thank you so much, sir.
00:39:46I mean,
00:39:47he's kind of my hero.
00:39:49He still doesn't know
00:39:50I'm the sniper.
00:39:51Would he believe me now?
00:39:53Would he understand
00:39:53why I left it all behind?
00:39:55Speaking of the sniper,
00:39:56your style on court
00:39:57looks almost identical to his.
00:39:59Did you train with him
00:40:00or something?
00:40:04I got to meet the press,
00:40:05but I'll see you all
00:40:06at the finals.
00:40:07Excuse me.
00:40:09Let's take that trophy,
00:40:10home, boys!
00:40:13Sorry,
00:40:14Zapp and his son
00:40:15are not taking my trophy.
00:40:19It's a history-making day
00:40:20here at the league finals
00:40:21with the Lightning
00:40:22facing off
00:40:23against the Scorpions.
00:40:25Team Lightning
00:40:25is the underdog,
00:40:26but with rising star
00:40:27Morris Davis
00:40:28and their wildcard coach,
00:40:30anything could happen.
00:40:31The Scorpions
00:40:32have championship
00:40:33coach Tyler Murray
00:40:34and his comeback king
00:40:35Cole Duncan.
00:40:37It'll take a miracle
00:40:39for them to win this.
00:40:40Where the hell is Mars?
00:40:42We barely made it
00:40:43through the playoffs
00:40:44and the Scorpions,
00:40:45they body every single
00:40:47team they play.
00:40:48We need our star point guard.
00:40:52Have we heard
00:40:52from him yet?
00:40:56You got this team
00:40:58to the final,
00:40:59but if Mars is MIA,
00:41:00they can be humiliated
00:41:02on that court.
00:41:04The Scorpions will do
00:41:05anything they can
00:41:06to tear us down.
00:41:07We won't let them win.
00:41:09You sure about that?
00:41:12You and your jacked up
00:41:14team of amateurs,
00:41:16no match for us.
00:41:17Alright,
00:41:18the only hope
00:41:18you have is Mars,
00:41:20but, uh,
00:41:22where's he at?
00:41:24Does he know
00:41:24the game starts
00:41:25in the now?
00:41:26Hope he turns up.
00:41:28Otherwise,
00:41:29you may as well
00:41:30forfeit.
00:41:40come meet me
00:41:41on the 17th floor
00:41:42in 10 minutes.
00:41:43You're gonna come alone
00:41:43and you'll tell no one.
00:41:45Otherwise,
00:41:46you're never gonna
00:41:46see your son again.
00:41:51Take care of our son.
00:41:55I'm supposed
00:41:56to keep him safe.
00:41:59The game starts
00:41:59in an hour.
00:42:00You can't leave now.
00:42:01Mars doesn't show
00:42:02who's gonna stop him.
00:42:03You figure it out.
00:42:03I have to find him.
00:42:05Let him go.
00:42:06It's his son.
00:42:16It's his son.
00:42:23Welcome back,
00:42:24Mr. Davis.
00:42:25What the fuck, man?
00:42:27Let me go!
00:42:28I can't do that.
00:42:30You're my leverage
00:42:31in this deal.
00:42:32Now,
00:42:32your dipshit daddy's
00:42:33got a shot clock
00:42:34that's ticking down.
00:42:35I want to see
00:42:35if he's gonna pick you
00:42:36or his basketball career.
00:42:38What do you think?
00:42:43Wow!
00:42:44Dad!
00:42:47You actually showed up.
00:42:49You picked your son
00:42:50over your own career.
00:42:52My father
00:42:52of the year!
00:42:54Tyler,
00:42:55your problems
00:42:55are with me,
00:42:56not my son.
00:42:56You're damn right
00:42:57they are!
00:42:58I was born
00:42:59to be a winner.
00:43:01A winner!
00:43:02They have money
00:43:03and power
00:43:05and respect.
00:43:06I didn't claw my way
00:43:08to the finals
00:43:08just to have some loser
00:43:10who was stretching fries
00:43:11last week
00:43:12steal it from me!
00:43:13Cut him loose
00:43:14and we can talk
00:43:15about this.
00:43:19You want to talk?
00:43:20There is nothing
00:43:21to talk about.
00:43:22A stunt in the playoffs
00:43:23cost me
00:43:24a lot of money
00:43:25and it almost
00:43:27exposed a very
00:43:28delicate operation.
00:43:30So you're gonna
00:43:30throw the game today
00:43:31and I'm gonna be champion.
00:43:34Or what?
00:43:36So glad you asked.
00:43:38Or
00:43:40your son
00:43:41is gonna suffer!
00:43:45Fine.
00:43:46We'll throw the game.
00:43:48What?
00:43:51Let me just
00:43:51untie him.
00:43:52You think I'm stupid?
00:43:54I'm just gonna
00:43:55take your word?
00:43:56No.
00:43:57I had my lawyers
00:43:58draft up.
00:43:59A nice little
00:44:00admission of guilt
00:44:01here.
00:44:03It says,
00:44:04I,
00:44:04the head coach
00:44:05of the Lightning,

00:44:07rigging games

00:44:09including
00:44:09the 2026 finals.
00:44:12Yadda, yadda, yadda.
00:44:13Blah, blah, blah.
00:44:15Sign this,
00:44:16throw the game,
00:44:17and no one
00:44:18will ever find out
00:44:19about our little deal.
00:44:21This motherfucker's
00:44:22scared shitless!
00:44:23Don't sign anything!
00:44:32Your son
00:44:33has
00:44:34no manners.
00:44:36I guess
00:44:36that's what he gets
00:44:37when his daddy's
00:44:38an absent alcoholic.
00:44:41Now,
00:44:42you're gonna sign
00:44:42the contract
00:44:43or I'm gonna
00:44:43break his legs.
00:44:45Don't fucking
00:44:45touch him.
00:44:47Alright,
00:44:48you have five
00:44:48seconds.
00:44:50Or I'm gonna
00:44:51break him.
00:44:52He's bluffing,
00:44:52don't listen to him!
00:44:53Five,
00:44:55four,
00:44:57don't!
00:44:57Three,
00:44:58two,
00:45:01one!
00:45:04Ah!
00:45:08Five,
00:45:08four,
00:45:10don't!
00:45:11Three,
00:45:12two,
00:45:14one!
00:45:18Ah!
00:45:19I'm sorry
00:45:21the fucking
00:45:21contract!
00:45:27That's a good choice.
00:45:29I mean,
00:45:30you signed
00:45:30the death wish
00:45:30for Team Lightning.
00:45:32You shaved
00:45:33your son's legs
00:45:35and murdered
00:45:35his career.
00:45:37But like I said,
00:45:39father of the year.
00:45:42Now,
00:45:42while I have you here,
00:45:43one more thing.
00:45:44I'm just gonna need you
00:45:45to admit to what
00:45:46you just did.
00:45:47I need a little bit
00:45:47of extra insurance.
00:45:48I'm not gonna confess
00:45:50to rigging games
00:45:50for profit.
00:45:51I signed the contract,
00:45:53that was the agreement.
00:45:54I'll splice
00:45:55something together.
00:45:56It's fine.
00:45:57This is blackmail.
00:45:59You won't get away
00:46:00with it.
00:46:03Watch me.
00:46:06Let's go,
00:46:07boys.
00:46:19Where the fuck
00:46:20would you agree to that?
00:46:22What did you want me
00:46:22to do,
00:46:23let him break your legs?
00:46:24You'd never play ball again.
00:46:26No!
00:46:27I wanted you
00:46:27to fight for me!
00:46:29Our team!
00:46:31You bent the knee
00:46:32and gave up
00:46:32when it got hard.
00:46:33Just like you always do.
00:46:34I gave up my career
00:46:36for you!
00:46:37Don't you get it?
00:46:39If you go down,
00:46:40I go down with you!
00:46:42I knew I should have
00:46:43sent your ass packing
00:46:44when I had the chance.
00:46:47I knew I couldn't
00:46:48count on you.
00:46:50Mars.
00:46:53Mars is right.
00:46:54If those bastards
00:46:55take the championship,
00:46:57then everything
00:46:57he worked for
00:46:58goes up in flames.
00:47:00The last time
00:47:01I won the finals,
00:47:02I lost everything.
00:47:20But I won't let
00:47:21that happen to my son.
00:47:22I won't let them win.
00:47:24But I can make them
00:47:25think that they're
00:47:26going to.
00:47:29Marcel, thank God.
00:47:30Are you and Mar...
00:47:31No, we're fine.
00:47:32I need a favor.
00:47:32We're on the street
00:47:34as Coach Murray.
00:47:35He's rigging games
00:47:35for profit.
00:47:39Welcome back
00:47:40to the 2026
00:47:41UBA Finals.
00:47:45Tonight,
00:47:46we have the lightning
00:47:47playing against
00:47:48the Scorpions.
00:47:51This is the biggest
00:47:53rival in UBA history.
00:48:06Tyler Murray.
00:48:07No.
00:48:07I don't even know
00:48:07this Coach combo mill.
00:48:09He's in no show.
00:48:11That Coward's really
00:48:12going to throw the game?
00:48:13The lightning
00:48:14and the Scorpion
00:48:15haven't met in the finals
00:48:16since 2006.
00:48:18Tyler Murray himself
00:48:19played in that game,
00:48:20but he fell to the sniper.
00:48:30Wait a minute.
00:48:31Coach combo mill
00:48:32is here?
00:48:38Coach combo mill
00:48:39is back on the court.
00:48:40You'd never know
00:48:41he was slinging burgers
00:48:42three months ago.
00:48:44I bet he couldn't
00:48:45pass up the chance
00:48:45to join his son Mars
00:48:47on the court.
00:48:48They'll go down
00:48:48in history
00:48:49as the first father-son
00:48:50duo to play together
00:48:51in a finals game.
00:48:53You showed up.
00:48:54You're just putting
00:48:55yourself in the game
00:48:56to make sure we lose.
00:48:57Actually, I'm pretty
00:48:58surprised you suited up
00:48:59because you and I
00:49:00both know how this ends.
00:49:03That's what he thinks.
00:49:05What can I say?
00:49:06I couldn't resist
00:49:07one more shot on the court.
00:49:08Yeah, of course
00:49:09he couldn't.
00:49:11This team's already
00:49:13imploding.
00:49:14Getting this championship
00:49:14trophy will be a walk
00:49:16in the park.
00:49:17Well, gentlemen,
00:49:18I'd say good luck,
00:49:19but I just don't care.
00:49:22Scorpions, let's go.
00:49:29I'm on your side.
00:49:32Don't hold back out there.
00:49:37Don't hold back out there.
00:49:43I'm done listening to you.
00:49:57Son, right here.
00:49:58Mark.
00:50:09Guess what I was
00:50:09going to do to add.
00:50:15God.
00:50:35Cool Duncan is on fire.
00:50:37The Scorpions are dominating.
00:50:40The Lightning better
00:50:40step it up.
00:50:46Hey, hey.
00:50:47Fuck.
00:50:48Fuck.
00:50:50Dude, what are you doing?
00:50:52Bro, why are you playing
00:50:53like you're alone?
00:50:55Just get back on defense.
00:51:18Half-time right now,
00:51:19the Lightning's down by 12 points.
00:51:21Will they make a comeback
00:51:22in the next half?
00:51:25This is embarrassing.
00:51:27I can't believe I have to
00:51:28throw the biggest game
00:51:29of my career.
00:51:30I'm supposed to be the leader,
00:51:32but I'm just letting
00:51:33everyone else down.
00:51:34If no one else can step up,
00:51:36then we're doomed.
00:51:42Guys, this game is not over.
00:51:43We just need to reset,
00:51:45play as a team,
00:51:46and we can still win this.
00:51:47You're such a hypocrite.
00:51:49You're one to talk, ball hog.
00:51:51You're not passing the ball, bruh.
00:51:53If we lose,
00:51:54it's your fault.
00:51:56That's what you think, huh?
00:51:58All this?
00:51:59It's all his fault.
00:52:03It's all his fault.
00:52:04Coach hasn't been able
00:52:05to touch the ball
00:52:06because you refused
00:52:07to let it go.
00:52:08How is this his fault?
00:52:10You're fucking selfish.
00:52:11Selfish?
00:52:12Get the fuck off.
00:52:13It's not him.
00:52:14Enough!
00:52:15Enough!
00:52:16Enough!
00:52:17It's the finals.
00:52:18If you want to embarrass yourself,
00:52:20go home!
00:52:21You go home!
00:52:23Everyone out.
00:52:31Why'd you have to sign
00:52:32that goddamn contract?
00:52:34You fucked us!
00:52:35The contract is bullshit, Mars.
00:52:36I'm stringing them along.
00:52:38Robin is handling it.
00:52:40They're not gonna win this.
00:52:42You're lying.
00:52:43You think I put this jersey on
00:52:44to fuck up your game?
00:52:45I'm here to make sure
00:52:46that nothing and no one
00:52:47gets in your way.
00:52:48Bullshit.
00:52:49They'll just let me down again.
00:52:51Mars, listen to me.
00:52:53When your mother was killed,
00:52:54I swore off basketball
00:52:56and I was lost.
00:52:58But now I'm back.
00:52:59But I'm not back for me.
00:53:01I'm back for you.
00:53:03Now let's go out
00:53:03on that court together
00:53:05and destroy these motherfuckers.
00:53:11Welcome back from halftime.
00:53:12The Scorpions are dominating
00:53:14the game in the first half.
00:53:16Mars.
00:53:19God damn it!
00:53:22God.
00:53:25That's your star player?
00:53:28When you lose tonight,
00:53:30the lightning will be gone for good.
00:53:32I'll draft him
00:53:33just to keep the Scorpions bench warm.
00:53:36Mars is a goat in the making.
00:53:38He's about to be rookie of the year.
00:53:39Come on, boys.
00:53:41Let's go lightning!
00:53:43Come on.
00:53:44Spirit.
00:53:48Guess you're not as stupid
00:53:49as we thought.
00:53:53Dude!
00:53:54What the fuck?
00:53:56Don't sneak him out of the game.
00:53:57He's trying to lose.
00:54:00Let's go.
00:54:04We can still win this,
00:54:06but you have to trust me.
00:54:08If we play together,
00:54:09they can't beat us.
00:54:11Mars, you've got everything
00:54:11you need right here.
00:54:14Let's go out there
00:54:15and win this
00:54:15for the team.
00:54:21For the team.
00:54:24Okay.
00:54:33Go, go.
00:54:33Go.
00:54:34What's up?
00:54:34Oh.
00:55:04Mars Davis just executed the Sniper's kill-shot dunk.
00:55:12It's the end of the third quarter.
00:55:13Lightning is only down by two points now.
00:55:17Could my dad be him?
00:55:18The Sniper.
00:55:20So these assholes want to die.
00:55:27You will lose this game or you and your son will commit career suicide.
00:55:31I'm not scared of you.
00:55:34Move!
00:55:36It's the beginning of the fourth quarter.
00:55:38The Lightning are down by two.
00:55:40Will they make their comeback?
00:55:48Coach, you're a legend.
00:55:51If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
00:56:19What a comeback.
00:56:21With father and son working as a team, they might have a chance.
00:56:26The Lightning are up by one.
00:56:28Can they keep the comeback?
00:56:31Whoa, hold on.
00:56:32Is that Tyler Murray?
00:56:36Is this 2006?
00:56:38All we're missing is the god of ball himself.
00:56:47If you're not going to lose, I'll just have to beat you fair and square.
00:56:49The performance-enhancing drug I developed doesn't show up on any normal tests.
00:56:54Team Lightning won't know what hit them.
00:56:56Show me what you got, coach.
00:56:58Be prepared to lose.
00:57:00It's been at least a decade since Tyler Murray we played in a professional game.
00:57:04Then why does he seem so confident?
00:57:06Shovel up, boys!
00:57:08We're not leaving here without a trophy.
00:57:09Full-time press!
00:57:10Let's go, Lightning!
00:57:12You know Mars could be the goat if you train with a better coach.
00:57:15Yeah, but it'll never be you.
00:57:16You can't control him.
00:57:18But I can.
00:57:27That's a foul, ref!
00:57:30You okay?
00:57:31When did he get so good?
00:57:34Here, come on.
00:57:36They're neck and neck.
00:57:38Only two minutes left.
00:57:40Team Lightning is running out of time.
00:57:54Go, go, go!
00:57:55Come on, come on, we have to win!
00:57:57These losers can't beat us!
00:57:59We win at any cost!
00:58:00You get him!
00:58:04Where are you gonna go now, dipshit?
00:58:06What?
00:58:07No!
00:58:11No!
00:58:29Nice!
00:58:36Let's go!
00:58:44Nobody's pulled that off since the guy who invented it.
00:58:49Game over.
00:58:51Unbelievable!
00:58:52What a comeback play from the Lightning.
00:58:54They just won the 2006 UBA championship.
00:58:58Yeah!
00:59:15You did it!
00:59:16We did it.
00:59:18You're going to regret this.
00:59:19You have no idea what you've done!
00:59:21I don't think so, coach.
00:59:23I know exactly what I've done.
00:59:24I know what you've done, too.
00:59:27This is far from over.
00:59:30Let's go.
00:59:34Yeah, boys!
00:59:42I knew you'd pull it off, man!
00:59:45No one's going to sell a winning team.
00:59:47Congratulations.
00:59:50If anybody was going to save the Lightning from extinction, I knew it was going to be you,
00:59:55Mars.
00:59:55It'd be Mars, the new face of the league.
01:00:00Congratulations, coach.
01:00:02Don't tell anybody, but I was rooting for you.
01:00:06And, uh, I came across this old basketball card.
01:00:15Where'd you get this?
01:00:17Is my dad really the sniper?
01:00:29Now for the presentation of the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy and the Michael Jordan MVP.
01:00:35Here is UVA Commissioner Roderick Gould.
01:00:39Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:00:42These finals have showcased the battle for greatness.
01:00:45With more talent on one court than we have ever seen before.
01:00:49But one incredible team prevailed.
01:00:52Congratulations, Team Lightning.
01:00:54You are the 2026 League Champions.
01:01:03We're not done yet for MVP.
01:01:06This rookie grew into a star right before our eyes.
01:01:10Congratulations, Mars Davis.
01:01:13Yeah!
01:01:16Yeah!
01:01:18Yeah!
01:01:22Quick reflexes, coach.
01:01:24I'd love to know what else you could do with those hands.
01:01:26Maybe I'll show you some time.
01:01:32Oh, my God.
01:01:43Thanks for getting me home safe.
01:01:51If it isn't obvious, I like you, Marcel.
01:01:56I'll be sure that's to the champagne talking.
01:02:00Why don't you come find out?
01:02:10Close your eyes.
01:02:18Close your eyes.
01:02:28Close your eyes.
01:02:34Close your eyes.
01:02:41You can open your eyes now.
01:02:47Damn.
01:02:59I want you to take me here against this window.
01:03:06Show me your full court press, Coach.
01:03:21You've got potential, rookie.
01:03:24Now we just need to work on your long game.
01:03:38Wrong time, bro.
01:03:40You better get a new suit.
01:03:41You're getting inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame tomorrow.
01:03:45Murray, I didn't join the league for glory.
01:03:48I'm just a man trying to make amends with his son.
01:03:51Well, you're also a legend who single-handedly led a dying team to a championship.
01:03:56I've invited Mars and your sister-in-law too.
01:03:59They deserve to see who you really are and how far you've come.
01:04:03Fine.
01:04:04Make sure the commissioner invites Coach Murray.
01:04:07And Cole too.
01:04:09You sure about that?
01:04:12Yeah.
01:04:14I got a plan.
01:04:21You look happy.
01:04:26And it's about to get even better.
01:04:28I got two tickets to the Basketball Hall of Fame Gala tomorrow night.
01:04:34Any chance you'd want to be my date?
01:04:37She has no idea it's me who's being inducted.
01:04:41I'd love to.
01:04:52Gentlemen.
01:04:59Well, well, well.
01:05:01What do we have here?
01:05:07Silver VIP tickets to the Basketball Hall of Fame ceremony.
01:05:12These clowns have no idea what the sniper has planned for them.
01:05:18Now, correct me if I'm wrong, Commissioner, but the silver tickets, they're exclusive for Hall of Fame inductees, correct?
01:05:25There is something that ranks higher.
01:05:27And that is the gold commemorative ring, which is presented to the inductee.
01:05:34But between you and me, we won't be revealing the guest of honor until the night of-
01:05:38Well, you know what?
01:05:39I'm just really happy you finally came to your senses.
01:05:42Recognize me as the UBA's true goat.
01:05:45Cole.
01:05:47It's time to start working on my speech.
01:05:52And once I get on stage, I'll expose Coach Combo Meal for the game-rigging alcoholic he really is.
01:05:58And glory will be mine.
01:06:10Well, I see you.
01:06:13You and Robin?
01:06:15What about?
01:06:17She asked me to be her date to the Hall of Fame soon.
01:06:22Well, I only give out 20 of these, but you won't be needing that.
01:06:29Because I got this.
01:06:35There's only one of them.
01:06:52I heard the league spent more money on this year's Hall of Fame ceremony than ever before.
01:06:57And no one knows who's actually been inducted.
01:07:00Whoever it is, he's a huge deal.
01:07:02My husband is on the board of directors, and even he had to fight to get us these general admission
01:07:08tickets.
01:07:14There's Tyler Murray, the famed head coach of the Scorpions, and his superstar, Cole Duncan.
01:07:19They've got silver VIP tickets. Could one of them be the inductee?
01:07:24Maybe.
01:07:25I don't know, but the true inductee will have a gold and silver ring engraved with his name.
01:07:37Cheers.
01:07:47How the fuck did you get in here?
01:07:51I could ask you the same thing.
01:07:53This man is about to be criminally investigated for rigging games for profit this season.
01:08:02Yeah, this criminal shouldn't be allowed in here.
01:08:07Are you sure you're not the criminals?
01:08:10Criminals.
01:08:11Criminals.
01:08:11We are silver VIP ticket guests of the commissioner himself.
01:08:17Thanks to me.
01:08:19Congratulations.
01:08:20Hey, there's only two of these silver VIP tickets, which means one of us is getting inducted tonight.
01:08:27Are you sure about that?
01:08:29We're the best in the fucking game.
01:08:31You're just a pathetic nobody.
01:08:33What do you know?
01:08:36Listen, you've had your fun playing pretend with the big boys in the league.
01:08:40But now, it's time to go back to flipping burgers for minimum wage.
01:08:45Because you have no right to be here.
01:08:52Actually, I do.
01:08:59Wow, a bronze VIP ticket?
01:09:02Not as exclusive as silver, but he must be someone important.
01:09:08I'm sorry, did you forge a ticket just to crash the event?
01:09:14Security.
01:09:16This criminal is using a counterfeit ticket to sneak in here.
01:09:20Take a look.
01:09:21Judge for yourself.
01:09:29This ticket's legit.
01:09:34I told you.
01:09:36Robin invited me as her.
01:09:38Ah.
01:09:39Yeah, I've seen you oogling over the league, CFO Robin Sharp.
01:09:43What did you, seducer?
01:09:44Want some witchcraft to get that extra ticket?
01:09:46Not cool, girl.
01:09:48Marcel, are you drunkenly harassing women in the workplace?
01:09:51You are pitiful.
01:09:52Just riding everyone's coattails around you, hmm?
01:09:55It's quite despicable.
01:10:00No, you're despicable.
01:10:11Tyler Murray.
01:10:13How dare you question my date's right to be here?
01:10:18A date?
01:10:20Oh no, don't tell me you find this alcoholic loser attractive.
01:10:24I find him incredibly sexy.
01:10:26Can't keep my hands off him.
01:10:29Ugh.
01:10:32You know, you could have had a real man.
01:10:34With real money, real power.
01:10:36But instead, you chose the washed up nobody that Team Lightning found working at a drive-thru.
01:10:41It can make sense, coach.
01:10:43Wow.
01:10:44You must have a really big...
01:10:48Actually, what makes more sense is this frigid spinster couldn't find a date for the event.
01:10:52So she paid this broke-ass loser so she wouldn't feel so lonely.
01:10:57So sad.
01:10:59You know, the Basketball Hall of Fame induction is a high-profile event.
01:11:04There's no place for a lowly escort.
01:11:11Don't touch her again.
01:11:15Coach won the final.
01:11:17But you lost.
01:11:20He's a total catch.
01:11:21Oh my God, how can the CFO be so stupid?
01:11:25He was working at a drive-thru three months ago.
01:11:27Oh, you're telling me that when you pull up to get your nuggets and you see this greasy old man,
01:11:31you're gonna give him your number?
01:11:33Oh, he has you fooled too, doesn't he?
01:11:35I bet you didn't even think to ask.
01:11:38How does a bum like this working a drive-thru on the verge of homelessness get a job as a
01:11:44coach in the league?
01:11:44He's here now. That's irrelevant.
01:11:46Is it?
01:11:47Because the only logical explanation I can think of is that he has some dirt on the lightning jam of
01:11:53Mari Gibbs and he's using it as blackmail for the job.
01:11:58How did you get the job?
01:12:02How did you get the job?
01:12:09Amori and I played on the lightning together 20 years ago.
01:12:12What?
01:12:13You were in the league 20 years ago?
01:12:16No way. That's when I played and I would remember an ugly face like yours. So you're still lying.
01:12:2220 years ago I was at the top of my game when my wife was murdered and I was left
01:12:26with my infant son.
01:12:28The sniper will never steal another trophy from me again.
01:12:34No way. That was his wife?
01:12:36I started drinking. I lost myself in the grief and the guilt. So I walked away from my son because
01:12:43I didn't want the terrible thing that happened to my wife to happen to him.
01:12:46So I changed my name and got a job at Sippy Parker. That's where I ran into Amari.
01:12:54What? Now you're stealing the sniper's sob story?
01:12:57God.
01:12:57I bet he killed his wife and that's why his son got taken away and that's how you end up
01:13:02in a drive thru.
01:13:03God.
01:13:08What the fuck?
01:13:17She had nothing to do with my mom's death.
01:13:23that's his son the 2026 mvp mars davis he is a goat in the making we've had our differences
01:13:30but you are in no way responsible for my sister's death grace i'm sorry i should have called
