00:00:22Malik! Malik! You got it!
00:00:25Draft Combine. Special approval.
00:00:30I did it.
00:00:33Hey, where are you going? Tell my mom!
00:00:45What are you doing? Denise, why isn't your arm healed yet? Did you ever see a doctor?
00:00:52It's fine. I'm used to it. I don't want to waste money on treatment.
00:00:55Malik needs it for his Combine.
00:00:57Well, that's not my problem, is it?
00:00:59Please, Ben. I'm fine. I won't slow the line down.
00:01:01You won't? You're moving at half speed. And this? What the fuck is this?
00:01:04This place isn't a charity. If you can't pull your weight like everyone else, you're out. We clear?
00:01:13Mom!
00:01:15Mom, great news. They officially let me into the NBA Draft Combine. It starts in two days.
00:01:21I'm gonna get signed, Mom. I'm gonna put dry well on the mark.
00:01:25I never doubted it, Malik. Not since you were five years old shooting at a milk crate.
00:01:32Malik. Now, listen.
00:01:35How much for the travel?
00:01:37About 800 bucks. I managed to save it. I'll just skip the team hotel. I'll find a hostel or a
00:01:44couch. It's fine, Mom.
00:01:45No. You aren't sharing a room with strangers. You need real sleep if you're gonna play your best.
00:01:51Ma, stop. You're working three jobs. In your arm, I don't want my dream to cost you everything.
00:01:57We only need $200 more. Right? Your uncle, Victor, borrowed $200 last year to get Chase those limited edition sneakers.
00:02:05I'll just get him to pay me back. Let's go find him.
00:02:11Victor?
00:02:13Denise, perfect timing. Chase is heading to the Combine.
00:02:16And as his aunt, the least you can do is pitch in $500 for his new iPhone.
00:02:20He needs to look the part.
00:02:22Vic, I-
00:02:23Come on, Denise!
00:02:24I'll be a win for the whole family! Don't start acting cheap now!
00:02:31Malik's leaving tonight too, so I was hoping you could pay me back the $200 you borrowed for those shoes.
00:02:37Malik? He didn't even graduate high school. And you think a gutter rat like him's making the NBA?
00:02:43You're fucking delusional!
00:02:45Exactly. The kid hasn't even had a single day of professional training.
00:02:49Why waste money on the Combine when he'll never get drafted?
00:02:52How could you say that? You really think that's all I am?
00:02:54Fine. I'll prove you both wrong. Just watch. I'm gonna be the number one pick.
00:02:59The number one pick? You actually believe that crap?
00:03:03You're begging for $200 just to go get laughed off the court?
00:03:07You're shameless!
00:03:08Damn straight! Now pay up!
00:03:18What the hell is wrong with you guys? You could have hurt her!
00:03:20Please, Victor. That's for Malik's Combine trip. He needs it!
00:03:27When you borrow money, you pay it back. Who steals from the same people they're in debt to?
00:03:33That's way out of line!
00:03:36Watch your mouth, you piece of shit!
00:03:41Whatever. The money's ours now. Who cares what they think?
00:03:45Come on. Let's go buy Chase that new phone.
00:03:52Mom, I'll just not go to the Combine. I'll keep working. Save money to fix your hand.
00:03:57What did you just say?
00:04:07Mom, stop! Stop it! Look at me!
00:04:13Mom.
00:04:14Malik, this world only respects two kinds of people.
00:04:18Those born at the top and those who fight their way up there. Basketball is your weapon, Malik.
00:04:24So use it! Fight with it! Whatever people say, however hard it gets, you hold on to it and never
00:04:30let it go.
00:04:31But Mom, what about your hand? What are you going to do while I'm gone for three months?
00:04:36Forget my hand. Even if my whole body stops working, I'll make it to the day you come back.
00:04:46Malik!
00:04:52Malik, I've got some cash saved up from washing cars all these years. Take it. Use it for the Combine.
00:05:00Logan, I thought that was for your wedding.
00:05:02Nah, it's alright man. We can always postpone it. Linda's gonna roll her eyes at me, but she'll understand.
00:05:08I've been saving my tips from waiting tables. But Andre, what about your tuition? Aren't you playing for Boise State
00:05:14next year?
00:05:16Man, my grades suck. And you've got way more game than I do. I'll stay here in Drywall.
00:05:20Just go get that number one pick for us, alright?
00:05:28Here's my share, Malik.
00:05:30Coach, where'd you even get this much? Wait, did you sell your pickup truck?
00:05:35That old truck's been with me for 20 years. Carried me through every chapter of my life.
00:05:40And now it's gonna carry you one step closer to your dream.
00:05:43Your mom's right. You gotta go to the Combine. And gotta show those scouts what you got.
00:05:48We all believe in you, Malik.
00:05:53Thank you all so much.
00:05:55Thanks, guys. I'm getting that number one to pick.
00:05:58You should get going.
00:06:01Go make us proud, Malik. I'll be here every Sunday praying for you.
00:06:09Malik!
00:06:12Show them how we do it in Drywall. Go get them, Malik. We're rooting for you.
00:06:44Oh my god.
00:06:47Who is that?
00:06:49That kid's footwork, his hang time, his explosiveness. That's exactly the kind of player we need.
00:07:08How have I not heard anything about this kid? Who is that kid? Why isn't he on the list?
00:07:13Did some other team bribe you just to hide him from me?
00:07:16No, Mrs. Barnes. He's just some high school dropout.
00:07:21A high school dropout?
00:07:27It's almost like he's flying.
00:07:30It's almost like he's flying.
00:07:35A high school dropout.
00:07:41A high school dropout.
00:07:44A high school dropout.
00:07:50A high school dropout.
00:07:53Thank you for your patience, Malik. All final evaluations here are closed and confidential.
00:07:57Now that everything's official, congratulations.
00:08:01Welcome to the Lakers. I'm Madeline Barnes. I'm offering you a rookie contract worth 20
00:08:05millions a year. How does that sound?
00:08:0820 million for a rookie? That's the highest rookie contract in league history.
00:08:13Thank you. But this is real, right?
00:08:19Of course it is.
00:08:23I've read your full scouting report, Malik. You're not just a generational talent.
00:08:27You're kind, brave, a real character guy. And with that face,
00:08:33heck, your jerseys are going to sell out in minutes.
00:08:36And rest assured, your contract incentives will reflect that.
00:08:40What are you waiting for? Sign with us, Malik.
00:08:43You know, you're not just this year's number one pick.
00:08:49You're number one in my heart, too.
00:09:02If you've got any other conditions, just name them.
00:09:05Since the whole Lakers team might end up yours with the way things are going.
00:09:10Mrs. Barnes, I want to build an indoor basketball court in my hometown.
00:09:13Back in Drywell, my teammates and I only have a dirt lot by the road to play on.
00:09:18The guys there are full of talent, but since we don't have the resources,
00:09:21they've never had a fair shot.
00:09:26See? The guy's got a heart of gold.
00:09:28Of course, that won't be a problem.
00:09:29Lila, you'll take the lead on the construction of the court.
00:09:31And please, none of this Mrs. Barnes crap.
00:09:34Call me Madeline.
00:09:42Thank you, Madeline.
00:09:44But before I report to the team, is it okay if I take in a trip home first?
00:09:48I want to tell my mom the good news in person and thank everyone who supported me.
00:09:51Absolutely. You can fly there in my private jet.
00:09:55Only the best for our new star player.
00:09:57Thank you all. I'll be off then. See you later.
00:09:59Mom, we haven't officially drafted him yet.
00:10:02What if another team tries to punch him while he's gone?
00:10:05You're right. I'll have our G-lead coach pick him up and stay by his side the whole time.
00:10:09Oh, and call the construction crew and make sure they start work on that court pronto.
00:10:13All right. If anyone even tries to take Malik from us, I'll tear them apart myself.
00:10:23Miss Barnes, thank you for choosing my company for the project.
00:10:26I assure you we'll build you a professional-grade, state-of-the-art gym.
00:10:31Hold on.
00:10:32You picked my company because I know the guy the gym's being built for?
00:10:43No way. Could it really be?
00:10:50Thanks, Madeline.
00:10:52Oh, and one more thing. Can we donate a new pair of basketball shoes to every family in my hometown?
00:10:56We'll tell them it's a gift from the Lakers team owner.
00:11:00Absolutely. Oh, my people are going to love that. I'll get started on it right now.
00:11:11That's her. Her son went to the city to play basketball, but he ended up getting arrested
00:11:15for male prostitution. Heard he was selling his body to old ladies.
00:11:21God, what a fuck-up. His mom did everything she could to set him up for success,
00:11:26and he still got sent to the slammer.
00:11:37Ugh, I knew I smelled something cheap.
00:11:41Looks like the poorest woman in town made it after all.
00:11:45Ugh, I knew I smelled things cheap.
00:11:50Looks like the poorest woman in town made it after all.
00:11:53Isn't that Chase Holloway? I heard the Lakers' G League team signed him after the combine,
00:11:58and now they're donating a gym to our town.
00:12:02Naturally, they picked Chase's dad's company to build it.
00:12:06Wow, this Chase kid's got a bright future.
00:12:09Who knows? Maybe he'll be playing for the Lakers soon.
00:12:24Hi, Malik. I'm Eric Coleman, head coach of the Lakers' G League team.
00:12:28Coach Coleman, it's an honor. Thank you so much for picking me up.
00:12:31It's the least I could do. If you're putting dry well on the map, kid,
00:12:34the folks here should be proud of you. Hey, I'm just a guy who loves to hoop.
00:12:40It's about an hour's drive into town. Ready to hit the road?
00:12:49All right, everyone, I've got some great news.
00:12:51Thanks to the generosity of Lakers owner Madeline Barnes, all of you were getting a new pair of shoes today.
00:12:58And that's not all. She's also putting $3,000 into building us a real basketball gym.
00:13:04Imagine that, our kids playing on a sparkling professional court.
00:13:08And plus, this gym will employ more than half of residents in dry well in desperate need of work.
00:13:14Mrs. Barnes has truly blessed us all.
00:13:17Now, let's get to the shoes.
00:13:19Every household gets a pair. I'll read out the names, so come up when you're called.
00:13:24Ethan Alberston, Morgan Belmont, Chad Samperson, Jalen Tate, Connor Westbrook, Marcus Young.
00:13:36That's it.
00:13:40Father, I didn't hear Mowlick's name.
00:13:44Father, she and her son are a disgrace to all of dry well.
00:13:47People like them deserve to be shamed, not rewarded.
00:13:50Father. Father, in the name of the Lord, I beg you, help me.
00:13:58Malick sold his body to old ladies for a quick buck.
00:14:03The prostitution of any form is both illegal and immoral,
00:14:06and is unworthy of the Lord's blessings, let alone a pair of sneakers.
00:14:11Everyone knows he got locked for doing sax work for old hags.
00:14:15That's right. Meanwhile, Chase here got signed by the Lakers' G League squad.
00:14:20He's the whole reason they're building the gym and giving us these shoes.
00:14:23He's dry well's real hometown hero. Malick's lucky. He doesn't deserve a cousin like him.
00:14:29Damn. Didn't think Malick would stoop that low.
00:14:31My brother gave Malick money when he left. All for him to end up behind bars.
00:14:37Malick's my son. I know him better than anyone, and he's not who you're saying he is.
00:14:42Everyone who went to the Combine stayed a week, ten days at most.
00:14:46Malick's been gone for over a month. What's he still doing there if not rotting away in some jail cell?
00:14:51Your son breaks the law and disgraces this town, and you've still got the nerve to come ask for a
00:14:56free pair of shoes?
00:14:57What if Mrs. Barnes finds out our town produced a delinquent like Malick and pulls the plug on the gym
00:15:02project?
00:15:03Who's going to take the blame then, huh?
00:15:05I just want to get Malick a pair of shoes. He grew up here just like every other kid, and
00:15:10he's always had a good heart.
00:15:12Sure, we might not be the richest family around, but that doesn't make my son a failure or a criminal!
00:15:18Shut your mouth! Defending that vile boy in front of God like this? Truly shameless!
00:15:25I'll throw those shoes in the trash before I give them to your son!
00:15:30You want the shoes? Fine.
00:15:36Then crawl over here and clean them.
00:15:45Chase, I'm your aunt.
00:15:47Don't pull the ant card. My son plays for the Lakers now.
00:15:51The freaking Lakers donated these shoes because of him.
00:15:54If you want something from our family, you're going to have to beg for it.
00:15:57Well, you want these shoes or not? Kneel and shine them clean!
00:16:02Kneel! Kneel! Kneel! Kneel! Kneel! Kneel! Kneel! Kneel!
00:16:30You want these shoes?
00:16:31Coach, could you all hang back for a moment? My mom comes here every Sunday to pray for me.
00:16:34I don't want to overwhelm her with all these people.
00:16:36Okay then, go ahead.
00:16:44Lick the shoes! Lick the shoes!
00:16:54If Malik made mistakes,
00:16:56then I failed him as his mother.
00:16:59It's my fault!
00:17:01All of it!
00:17:06Shave!
00:17:08Shave!
00:17:09Shake Shake Shake Shake Shake Shake Shake Shake Shake Shake
00:17:17Allrictly
00:17:26MOOOOM
00:17:29Who dared to hurt my mom??
00:17:37you see that Denise
00:17:47Malik, you came back.
00:17:49Mom, what's going on?
00:17:51Who did this to you?
00:17:52Tell me.
00:18:00Holy shit, Malik actually came back.
00:18:03He's got some nerves still showing his face around here.
00:18:05Seriously, that guy's a stain on the whole town of Drywell.
00:18:08Tell me.
00:18:09Who did this to you?
00:18:10Malik, you're back.
00:18:13That's all that matters.
00:18:15I'm just glad you're safe.
00:18:16Of course I'm safe.
00:18:18I came to take you to the city with me, to give you a better life.
00:18:28Uncle Victor?
00:18:31What the hell was that for?
00:18:32How dare you show your dirty face again here?
00:18:35You've humiliated this whole town.
00:18:37You should have dropped dead right in that prison cell.
00:18:40I don't even know what you're talking about.
00:18:42Malik Carter, kneel before the Lord and beg forgiveness for your sins.
00:18:47Okay, what the heck happened?
00:18:49Why is everyone turning all hostile the second I walk in?
00:18:52Oh, quit the act, Malik.
00:18:54We know all about the shady shit you were doing out there.
00:18:57What shady shit?
00:18:59What are you talking about?
00:19:01You know damn well what you did, Malik.
00:19:04Are you really going to make us spell it out for you?
00:19:06What?
00:19:10You want to hear it?
00:19:11Fine.
00:19:12We all know you went to the city and started prostituting yourself to old ladies.
00:19:17You got caught.
00:19:19And the cops locked you up.
00:19:21Now everyone's going to think Drywell's a crime-ridden shithole.
00:19:25And it's all because of you.
00:19:29Damn right.
00:19:31We don't raise filthy man-whores here in Drywell.
00:19:34And to think my boy even loans you cash, you're despicable.
00:19:38What kind of weirdo sleeps with old hags for cash?
00:19:41Give my grandson's money back, you pervert.
00:19:44Criminal!
00:19:44Hooker!
00:19:45Man-whore!
00:19:50Me?
00:19:52A criminal?
00:19:55A man-whore?
00:19:58His name's Malik Carter, from the town of Drywell.
00:20:01What?
00:20:02Drywell, that town in Pinefield County?
00:20:04That town's been mired in poverty for decades and you're telling me they've produced the NBA's number one draft pick?
00:20:09My God, what are the chances?
00:20:11Quick, call the Pinefield County office.
00:20:13This is huge!
00:20:14Yes, sir.
00:20:18What?
00:20:20The top pick in the National Draft Combine is from Pinefield County?
00:20:24What?
00:20:26The number one pick in the National Draft Combine is from Drywell?
00:20:30Let's go!
00:20:31We're meeting our town hero!
00:20:35You're calling me a criminal?
00:20:37Lord knows how many old grannies you banged out there.
00:20:41You really thought you could just run off and prostitute yourself and we'd all be too dumb to notice?
00:20:53So they think I got arrested, man.
00:20:56The Lakers kept us locked down for a month.
00:20:58If I'd come home sooner, none of these rumors would have started.
00:21:00I can't believe a damn prostitute came out of our honest, God-fearing town.
00:21:05If Malik won't kneel and repent to the Lord, we'll have to help him out.
00:21:10Everyone, hold him down!
00:21:12Make him kneel!
00:21:15If you want my son, you'll have to get through me!
00:21:18And Malik just got home.
00:21:20Shouldn't he at least get a chance to explain himself?
00:21:23Explain what?
00:21:25If this were back in my day, I'd have taken off my belt and given him a good thrashing already.
00:21:29My son isn't who you think he is.
00:21:36Malik.
00:21:39My mom raised me to be an honest man who sets an example for others, and I've followed that my
00:21:43whole life.
00:21:43I've never been involved in prostitution.
00:21:46Period.
00:21:46That guy in the article just happens to have the same name as me.
00:21:49You wanted the truth?
00:21:50There it is.
00:21:50That's my boy.
00:21:52I knew it wasn't you.
00:21:53Please, save the crap about setting an example for others.
00:21:56Your mom might be a gullible fool, but we're not as easy to trick as she is.
00:22:00Your mom might be a broke nobody, but at least she earned her keep with hard work.
00:22:05But you?
00:22:06You disregarded the law and cut corners for some easy cash?
00:22:10Hell, you're even worse than your mom!
00:22:13Malik, the combine ended a month ago.
00:22:15If you really weren't wasting away in jail, then tell us, where the hell have you been this whole time?
00:22:22I was discovered by Madeline from the Lakers.
00:22:26Because I came from outside the college system, I had to complete a month of closed training and interviews.
00:22:32We even had to sign confidentiality agreements.
00:22:34That's why I couldn't contact anyone or come home.
00:22:39Yeah, freaking right.
00:22:41Madeline Barnes, you're saying the owner of the Lakers discovered you?
00:22:45Please.
00:22:46The only guys she scouts herself are the top draft picks.
00:22:49And what makes you think I'm not the number one pick?
00:22:54Did Malik just say he's the top pick?
00:22:56What the hell is he smoking?
00:22:57No way!
00:22:59Malik dropped out of high school and he's never even had a single day of professional training.
00:23:03How would he go number one?
00:23:05Malik, is it true?
00:23:07You're really the number one pick?
00:23:09It's true, mom.
00:23:10I'm going to be the Lakers' new franchise player.
00:23:13Oh my, that's wonderful.
00:23:15My boy really made it.
00:23:17You're still believing this BS?
00:23:19Malik, dude, stop embarrassing yourself.
00:23:20Now you're just making stuff up for attention.
00:23:22If you're the number one pick shit, I'll swallow this damn shoe hole.
00:23:25Let's be real.
00:23:25The only time you're getting picked number one is by one of your old ass sugar mamas.
00:23:28My baby boy was a five-star recruit and heist.
00:23:31Are you actually expecting us to believe you're better than him?
00:23:35Everything I've said is the truth.
00:23:37Why don't any of you believe me?
00:23:43What we believe is that you're a goddamn man-whore!
00:23:47For the last time, I'm not!
00:23:49Then explain that suit, the watch.
00:23:52How could you afford them if not with your dirty prostitute money?
00:23:57They're gifts from Leela Barnes, Madeline's daughter.
00:24:00She gave them to me when I signed with the Lakers.
00:24:04Bullshit!
00:24:05You're a high school dropout straight out of the gutter.
00:24:08Your existence means nothing to someone like Leela Barnes.
00:24:11Exactly.
00:24:12He just bought those fancy clothes with cash from those old women he sells himself to.
00:24:15Everyone, take a good look.
00:24:16These clothes are proof of the evil, sinful deeds Malik has committed.
00:24:19Come on!
00:24:20Let's strip this fraud down and donate his gear to the church!
00:24:24That's what God would want us to do!
00:24:28That's right!
00:24:29His clothes are drenched in sin.
00:24:31We must let the house of God redeem them!
00:24:34Chase, stop spreading lies!
00:24:37I told you it was a gift from Madeline!
00:24:41Watch how you talk to my son.
00:24:43Chase is a future star for the Lakers G League team.
00:24:46He's bringing pride to this town!
00:24:48You?
00:24:48You're a disgrace!
00:24:51Come on, everybody!
00:24:52Let's strip this nasty man's luck down!
00:24:55Stop!
00:24:55What are you doing?
00:24:56Father, you can't just force him to strip like this.
00:25:00Peggy, he's your nephew!
00:25:02Go to hell!
00:25:07Let's go meet the number one draft pick!
00:25:10This is a historic moment for Pinefield County.
00:25:12I need to be the first to congratulate him.
00:25:16Do you have the prize money with you?
00:25:18Come on, I bet James is already on his way.
00:25:19There's no time to waste.
00:25:40Are you okay, Mom?
00:25:41Give it back!
00:25:42Give it back unless you're ready to face the consequences!
00:25:44What consequences?
00:25:46This is divine justice!
00:25:48This baby's got to be worth 40 grand, maybe 50?
00:25:53Half will go to church repairs, but the other half?
00:25:57We'll use it to get Chase a proper wardrobe.
00:25:59He's a future NBA G League star.
00:26:01The best thing to ever come out of dry well, he ought to look the part.
00:26:04You're too kind, Father.
00:26:08You people are nothing but thieves!
00:26:11Malik, are you calling Father Chesterfield a thief?
00:26:15He's the most respected man in town.
00:26:17A pillar of the community.
00:26:18What's wrong with him taking a few things for the church?
00:26:21Look at Chase, then look at yourself.
00:26:23It's night and day, isn't it?
00:26:24A basketball prodigy and a useless ex-con.
00:26:27It's a wonder you two are even cousins.
00:26:29Now kneel before God and confess your sins.
00:26:32No!
00:26:33You're the ones lying, stealing, and humiliating my mother and I.
00:26:38If anyone repents, it should be you!
00:26:41That's enough!
00:26:41Everyone, get this bastard on his knees!
00:26:44He has to answer for his sins!
00:26:51Tie his mother up.
00:26:53Let's see if he kneels then.
00:26:58Don't touch her!
00:26:59You want to fight someone, then come at me!
00:27:21You fucking man whore.
00:27:24Did you really just hit me?
00:27:27Do you even know how valuable this face is?
00:27:30I'm on the Lakers' G League roster.
00:27:33One hair on my damn head is worth more than your whole life!
00:27:37Hold him down!
00:27:41You're bragging about being in the G League?
00:27:43I told you.
00:27:44I'm the number one draft pick, the Lakers' new franchise player.
00:27:47Oh, and your head coach?
00:27:49He's right outside that door right now.
00:27:51And when he sees what you've done today,
00:27:54every single one of you is going to pay!
00:28:00Nice try, bro.
00:28:01Listen, if my coach is outside,
00:28:03it's because he's here to congratulate me.
00:28:06Now kneel before I beat your stupid mother to a pulp.
00:28:09Malik, get out of here!
00:28:11Don't worry about me!
00:28:12Just go!
00:28:13Shut the fuck up!
00:28:16Chase Holloway,
00:28:17you're a dead man walking.
00:28:27Give me his hand.
00:28:41Keep resisting,
00:28:42and I'll just have to slap her again.
00:28:48No!
00:28:50Malik!
00:29:03You bastard!
00:29:05I swear to God,
00:29:06I'm going to ruin you!
00:29:07Not if I ruin you first.
00:29:09You say you're the number one pick, right?
00:29:11Then fine.
00:29:12I'll just burn a hole
00:29:14right through your damn hand.
00:29:16Let's see how your shot looks then.
00:29:18No!
00:29:21What the hell are you people doing?
00:29:30Coach!
00:29:35What the hell is wrong with you guys?
00:29:37Look what you've done to Malik and Denise.
00:29:39They had it coming, Darnal.
00:29:41Who the hell are you to get in our way?
00:29:43You piece of...
00:29:44And you little punks,
00:29:46you think you're tough or something?
00:29:49I could take you fools down with my hands tied behind my back.
00:29:53So move your asses aside
00:29:55before you regret it!
00:29:57No!
00:29:57Malik might not have had the money for college,
00:29:59but he's worked harder than every one of us combined.
00:30:01So what if you played for a Big 12 school?
00:30:03He's a hundred times better than you'll ever be.
00:30:05If anyone here so much as touches Malik,
00:30:08I'll be the first one to stop you.
00:30:10Damn straight!
00:30:11No one's putting a finger on him!
00:30:24What the hell are you doing?
00:30:26Want to mess with me?
00:30:28Bring it on!
00:30:29Stop!
00:30:34Logan Davis.
00:30:36Did you forget your pops works on my construction crew?
00:30:40Try me.
00:30:41Not only can I have your old man fired in seconds,
00:30:44I'll make sure he never gets another job in Pinefield County.
00:30:48He'll be out on the streets begging for scripts
00:30:50just to get through the week.
00:30:52Now get your weak ass out of my way!
00:30:58Andre Brooks.
00:30:59Your mom does catering for the construction crew, right?
00:31:03Yeah.
00:31:04One word for me,
00:31:05and her little catering company shuts down tonight.
00:31:11Let's see how she survives
00:31:13when there's nothing left to sell,
00:31:14except herself.
00:31:21Don't worry, I didn't forget you, Coach Parker.
00:31:25Your daughter, Tiana, how old is she, 10?
00:31:28Heard she wants to be in the WNBA one day.
00:31:30What are you trying to say?
00:31:31What, still don't get it?
00:31:32Listen, this new gym that's going up
00:31:34was built for my son by the Lakers.
00:31:35So if you're going to insist on defending this male prostitute,
00:31:38I'm afraid your girl's gym privileges
00:31:39will just have to be revoked.
00:31:41Victor, this has nothing to do with them.
00:31:43If you've got a problem, take it up with me!
00:31:47Open those big, dumb eyes of yours
00:31:48and look real close.
00:31:50You know what this is?
00:31:52That's...
00:31:53That's a Lakers contract.
00:31:55Bingo.
00:31:56I play for the Lakers G League squad.
00:31:57Cross me and I'll have your daughter blacklisted
00:31:59from every college in the state.
00:32:01The Lakers blacklist?
00:32:02You heard me.
00:32:03The Lakers run everything in California,
00:32:06everything in basketball.
00:32:07Shit, forget colleges.
00:32:09When I'm done,
00:32:09your daughter won't even make her high school JV team.
00:32:12She'll rot here, just like you,
00:32:14playing H-O-R-S dumb on a janky-ass hoop
00:32:16with these street rats.
00:32:21And you two, go ahead.
00:32:23Keep backing this man-whore
00:32:24and we'll see how fast your lives fall apart.
00:32:26Malik's just some used-up boy toy
00:32:28who sleeps with old women.
00:32:30Chase is about to take the G League by storm.
00:32:32You really want to screw your family over
00:32:33for this scrub?
00:32:34Malik dropped out of high school to work odd jobs
00:32:36and now he's an ex-con.
00:32:38Is that really the guy you want to follow off a cliff?
00:32:50Good afternoon, Mrs. Barnes.
00:32:52Malik hasn't run into any trouble, has he?
00:32:54Of course not.
00:32:55Good.
00:32:56He's going to be our franchise cornerstone next season.
00:32:59The focal point of our offense.
00:33:01Nothing, and I mean nothing, can happen to him.
00:33:03You're still by his side now, right?
00:33:06Oh, well, uh, he went into a church to see his mom.
00:33:09And you didn't go in there with him?
00:33:11Jesus Christ, Eric.
00:33:12What are you doing right now, then?
00:33:15I'm, I'm just shooting hoops
00:33:17with one of the local kids until he comes out.
00:33:19You're what?
00:33:20If all you're good for is shooting around with children,
00:33:23I'll assign you to our goddamn youth team.
00:33:26You'll be coaching eight-year-olds
00:33:27for the rest of your career.
00:33:28What's up?
00:33:30No, Mrs. Barnes, please.
00:33:31I'll go get him right now.
00:33:33Nothing's happening to him on my watch.
00:33:37Victor, what makes you think you can threaten them?
00:33:40Why not?
00:33:40They're just a bunch of country bumpers.
00:33:43I'm the head of the entire construction team,
00:33:44and my boy's a stud for the Lakers' G League squad.
00:33:47I can do whatever I damn well please.
00:33:49Not with me here, you can't.
00:33:50I'm not letting you do a thing to any of them.
00:33:52Oh, and after today,
00:33:53you and your pathetic son are done.
00:33:55What, so you're going to get the Lakers to wave chase?
00:33:58God, this Dimit really must think he's the number one pick.
00:34:01Face the facts, Malik.
00:34:02You're just a cheap gigolo.
00:34:04Did one of those old ladies ram you with a strap-on so hard
00:34:06it knocked a few screws loose?
00:34:08Open your fucking eyes and look, Malik.
00:34:10This is what a real Lakers contract looks like.
00:34:14So next time you brag,
00:34:15at least make it believable,
00:34:17you useless piece of shit.
00:34:22Like I said,
00:34:23your NBA dreams end today.
00:34:25You got a fucking death wish, man!
00:34:26Guys!
00:34:27Father Chesterfield!
00:34:28If the Lakers find out
00:34:29this little manhorn tore up my son's contract,
00:34:31they'll cancel the gym project.
00:34:32We can't let this slide.
00:34:33Let's cripple his hand.
00:34:34This fucker's never setting foot on a court again.
00:34:37Stay away from Malik!
00:34:41Whoever laid a hand on Malik Carter,
00:34:43the Lakers' number one draft pick
00:34:46is going to pay for it
00:34:48big time!
00:34:52Coach Coleman, you're here!
00:34:54I'm Chase!
00:34:55I...
00:34:56I...
00:34:57I was...
00:35:03You can't just go around
00:35:04hitting people in my church!
00:35:10That's Eric Coleman,
00:35:12head coach of the Lakers' G League team.
00:35:14Oh my God!
00:35:16It's really him!
00:35:17I've seen him on TV before!
00:35:19Number one pick?
00:35:21He's usually in L.A., right?
00:35:22What's he doing in Drywell,
00:35:23of all places?
00:35:24I'm sorry, Malik.
00:35:26I should have been here
00:35:26this whole time.
00:35:27Every single person
00:35:29who laid a hand on my mom,
00:35:31who humiliated me,
00:35:33who threatened my teammates,
00:35:35I want them to answer
00:35:36for what they've done.
00:35:42Don't worry, Malik.
00:35:44No one lays a hand
00:35:45on the number one pick
00:35:46in the NBA draft
00:35:48and gets away with it.
00:35:51Get him!
00:35:54Did you hear that?
00:35:56He said Malik's
00:35:57the number one pick!
00:36:00Malik's really
00:36:01the top pick in the draft!
00:36:03This...
00:36:03This can't be real.
00:36:05It's not possible!
00:36:09There's no way.
00:36:11Don't just stand there!
00:36:12Get them!
00:36:19The number one pick
00:36:21in the NBA draft!
00:36:22It's a dream come true!
00:36:24Drywell's home
00:36:25to a basketball legend!
00:36:33You all heard it
00:36:35with your own two ears.
00:36:36The NBA's number one draft pick
00:36:37is standing right before us.
00:36:39It's this man right here,
00:36:40Malik Carter!
00:36:44Five-star high school recruit,
00:36:46played in the Big 12,
00:36:48signed with the Lakers
00:36:49G League team.
00:36:50Big fucking woe!
00:36:51These guys right here,
00:36:52they couldn't afford college.
00:36:53They didn't have fancy gyms,
00:36:55they worked long shifts,
00:36:56they had families to feed.
00:36:57And they practiced
00:36:58on cracked pavement
00:37:00out by the road.
00:37:02And look at them now!
00:37:04Look at what they became!
00:37:06That...
00:37:07is what real greatness looks like.
00:37:14Everyone, open your eyes!
00:37:16The top pick in the NBA draft
00:37:18is a kid who never even went to college.
00:37:20The same filthy man-whore
00:37:22you've all been mocking.
00:37:23Number one pick!
00:37:25The first NBA player
00:37:27to ever come from our town.
00:37:28And the first top pick
00:37:30Pinefield County's ever seen.
00:37:32To all you haters
00:37:33saying that
00:37:34a high school dropout
00:37:35with no professional experience
00:37:37couldn't make it,
00:37:38Malik Carter
00:37:39just proved you wrong!
00:37:41Malik,
00:37:42you're the pride of Drywell.
00:37:43You're proof that
00:37:44kids who can't afford college
00:37:45don't have to give up
00:37:46on their dreams.
00:37:48No, coach, thank you.
00:37:50You trained me for free.
00:37:51You sold your truck
00:37:52to help me go to the Combine.
00:37:53I wouldn't be where I am
00:37:55today without you.
00:37:58Friends, teammates,
00:38:00Mom,
00:38:01I did it.
00:38:02The Lakers are making me
00:38:03the number one pick.
00:38:04And to set the record straight,
00:38:06I never prostituted myself.
00:38:07I never brought shame
00:38:08to my mother
00:38:09or the town of Drywell.
00:38:11Malik,
00:38:12I couldn't be more proud of you.
00:38:13And neither could we.
00:38:14Malik's a hometown hero.
00:38:16Thanks to him,
00:38:17every man, woman,
00:38:18and child in this town
00:38:19can walk with their head held high.
00:38:20Malik isn't just a star
00:38:21on the court.
00:38:22He's building Drywell a gym,
00:38:23giving kids a place to practice,
00:38:24and creating jobs
00:38:25for folks like us.
00:38:26I propose we build a statue of him
00:38:27in front of the new gymnasium.
00:38:29Yes, absolutely.
00:38:30Great idea.
00:38:33And let's not forget
00:38:34about the Holloway family.
00:38:35We can't just let them
00:38:36off the hook.
00:38:37They tried to ruin Malik's life,
00:38:39to spread lies about him.
00:38:41They nearly crippled his hand.
00:38:43They nearly what?
00:38:52Say no more.
00:38:54Beat them up.
00:38:55Beat them up.
00:38:56Beat them up.
00:38:57Beat them up.
00:38:57Beat them up.
00:38:57This has to be a mistake.
00:39:00Malik didn't even finish high school.
00:39:02None of the scouts
00:39:03even know who he is.
00:39:04A guy can't just become
00:39:06the number one pick overnight.
00:39:08It's fake news.
00:39:09It has to be.
00:39:10Yeah.
00:39:11Drywell's the poorest town
00:39:12in the whole state.
00:39:13A first overall pick
00:39:15would never come out of here.
00:39:17Coach Coleman,
00:39:18tell them it's a mistake.
00:39:19You can sign a G League contract,
00:39:21no questions asked.
00:39:23But I go first overall
00:39:24and suddenly it's an issue?
00:39:26What makes your success legitimate
00:39:28and mine fake news?
00:39:29All this proof right in front of you
00:39:31and you still deny it.
00:39:33Want to know the real issue, Chase?
00:39:36You're face to face with a truth
00:39:37you refuse to accept.
00:39:39That's where you're wrong, Malik.
00:39:41It's not that I can't accept this.
00:39:43It's that you don't deserve it.
00:39:45You don't have the skill,
00:39:46the swagger,
00:39:47the star power,
00:39:48none of it.
00:39:49I don't believe this for a second.
00:39:51You must have bribed
00:39:53this Coach Coleman guy.
00:39:54You paid him to lie
00:39:56straight to our faces.
00:40:11Isn't that Mayor Harris?
00:40:13He came here himself.
00:40:14Must be for our number one pick, Malik.
00:40:16Forget Robert.
00:40:16That's Mr. Witterk,
00:40:17the county executive.
00:40:18He's never set foot
00:40:19in drywall in his life.
00:40:20This is completely unprecedented.
00:40:30It's all because Denise Grant
00:40:32raised one hell of a son.
00:40:34We've got our dignity back, y'all.
00:40:37Dry Hill finally has a future.
00:40:43You must be Malik Carter.
00:40:45Yes, yes.
00:40:46Malik, you're the heart
00:40:47heart and soul of Drywell,
00:40:49a true hometown legend.
00:40:51And not just Drywell.
00:40:53You're the first ever
00:40:54number one pick
00:40:55from Pinefield County.
00:41:04And you must be Malik's mother.
00:41:06Ma'am, I know as well as anyone
00:41:08that jobs aren't easy
00:41:09to come by in Pinefield County
00:41:10these days.
00:41:11You must have gone through
00:41:12a heck of a lot
00:41:12to raise a son like him.
00:41:14Thank you, Mr. Whittaker.
00:41:15Yes, I worked hard,
00:41:16but I never dreamed
00:41:17he'd turn into such
00:41:18an incredible man.
00:41:19And it wasn't just me.
00:41:20Malik had his teammates,
00:41:22his coach,
00:41:22neighbors who cared,
00:41:23and most of all,
00:41:24he had himself.
00:41:25He never gave up.
00:41:26Not once.
00:41:28That's the damn truth
00:41:29right there.
00:41:31I've already spoken
00:41:32with Mrs. Barnes,
00:41:33the Lakers' owner.
00:41:34As for the basketball gym
00:41:35here in Drywell,
00:41:36I've personally approved
00:41:37the tax exemptions
00:41:37and pushed the plan forward.
00:41:39On top of that,
00:41:39we'll be launching
00:41:40a new youth league
00:41:41across Pinefield County
00:41:42so every kid,
00:41:43whether here in Drywell
00:41:43or in the larger cities,
00:41:44gets a shot
00:41:45at a brighter future.
00:41:47Thank you, Mr. Whitwicker.
00:41:50Don't thank me.
00:41:51None of this would be
00:41:52happening without you.
00:42:02Chase,
00:42:04aren't you going to finish
00:42:05what you started earlier?
00:42:15What exactly is it
00:42:17that he started?
00:42:21It's okay, Malik.
00:42:23Just come out and say it.
00:42:24Whatever it is,
00:42:25you have my full support.
00:42:31This man, Chase Holloway,
00:42:33spread the rumor
00:42:34that I was some kind
00:42:35of prostitute
00:42:35who slept with old women
00:42:37for money.
00:42:39He tried to force my mom
00:42:40to lick the bottom
00:42:41of a shoe.
00:42:43And he almost burnt my hand
00:42:44so that I'd never
00:42:45play basketball again.
00:42:47If my mom hadn't saved me,
00:42:49my career would be over.
00:42:54Sweet mother of God!
00:42:56This is barbaric!
00:42:59This needs to end now!
00:43:01Chase Holloway,
00:43:02you don't just abuse
00:43:03the top overall peck
00:43:04without consequences.
00:43:05I'm waking you on the spot.
00:43:06Consider your contract terminated.
00:43:08And that's not all.
00:43:09I'm having headquarters
00:43:10add you to the official
00:43:10Lakers blacklist.
00:43:12From here on out,
00:43:13you're not welcome
00:43:13on any team
00:43:14or any court
00:43:15in all of California.
00:43:16Who else laid a hand on you?
00:43:18Don't hold back.
00:43:19Tell me.
00:43:20I'll make sure they regret it.
00:43:22That's right.
00:43:24Anyone who wronged you
00:43:25is going to wish
00:43:26they were never born.
00:43:38Mr. Whitaker,
00:43:39Mr. Harris.
00:43:40I'm Victor Holloway,
00:43:41head of the Lakers
00:43:41Gymstruction Project.
00:43:42Head of the project?
00:43:43You still have the guts
00:43:44to say that?
00:43:45You're only on this project
00:43:46because Lila Barnes
00:43:47saw you were related
00:43:47to Malik.
00:43:48And now you prove
00:43:49your worth
00:43:49by going around
00:43:50picking on him
00:43:50and his mother?
00:43:51You're pure human filth.
00:43:56Denise, sis,
00:43:57this was all
00:43:58just misunderstanding.
00:43:59Right?
00:44:03Yes.
00:44:04Just a big misunderstanding.
00:44:06I mean,
00:44:06we're family,
00:44:07aren't we?
00:44:07Family?
00:44:08You say that word
00:44:09like it means something.
00:44:10But just now,
00:44:11when my mother begged you,
00:44:13pleaded with you
00:44:13as family,
00:44:14did you show her
00:44:15a single ounce of mercy?
00:44:17And what about
00:44:18when you called me
00:44:18a man-whore,
00:44:19said I should have
00:44:19dropped dead
00:44:20in a prison cell?
00:44:21Were we family then?
00:44:22You son of a bitch!
00:44:24You think you're
00:44:25somebody now?
00:44:25Just watch.
00:44:26You're going to be
00:44:27the biggest draft bus
00:44:28the NBA has ever seen.
00:44:33Assault.
00:44:34Defamation.
00:44:35You're going to face
00:44:36justice for each
00:44:37and every one
00:44:38of your crimes.
00:44:39Take them straight
00:44:40to the police.
00:44:41Oh!
00:44:42Oh!
00:44:43Oh!
00:44:43Oh!
00:44:44Oh!
00:44:44Oh!
00:44:45Oh!
00:44:49Malik,
00:44:50to celebrate
00:44:50the construction
00:44:51of the new gymnasium,
00:44:52we'll be holding
00:44:53a banquet tonight
00:44:53at the Pinefield Hotel.
00:44:55We'd be honored
00:44:55if you could attend
00:44:56and share your story
00:44:57with everyone.
00:44:58The people are dying
00:44:59to know more about you.
00:45:00Malik,
00:45:00Mrs. Barnes will be there
00:45:01as well.
00:45:02She insisted.
00:45:03You're her franchise player now
00:45:04and she'd love it
00:45:05if you put in an appearance.
00:45:06Heck,
00:45:06why don't you bring
00:45:07your teammates here too?
00:45:08Make it a real celebration.
00:45:14Malik,
00:45:15you should go.
00:45:16bask in your moment
00:45:17of glory.
00:45:18You earned it.
00:45:26Tell the people
00:45:27your story, bro.
00:45:28You're going to inspire
00:45:29thousands of kids like us.
00:45:30Kids with nothing
00:45:31but a dollar and a dream.
00:45:32Go, bro!
00:45:33We'll be right there
00:45:33with you.
00:45:34I've never even been
00:45:35to a real banquet before.
00:45:36I want a taste
00:45:37of the good life.
00:45:39Thank you,
00:45:40Mr. Whitaker,
00:45:41Mr. Harris.
00:45:41I'll be there tonight.
00:45:43By the way,
00:45:44I hope I'm not
00:45:44overstepping,
00:45:45but
00:45:46when I was reviewing
00:45:48your background,
00:45:48I noticed your father
00:45:50used to be a basketball
00:45:51coach as well.
00:45:52Do you think
00:45:53he might be able
00:45:54to attend tonight?
00:45:58Mom,
00:45:59he doesn't deserve.
00:46:02Let him attend.
00:46:18Goodness, Malik,
00:46:18I feel way overdressed.
00:46:20This outfit wasn't
00:46:21too expensive,
00:46:21was it?
00:46:22Mom,
00:46:22you worked yourself
00:46:23to the bone raising me,
00:46:24and now that I've made it,
00:46:25that means you've made it too.
00:46:26You finally get to relax now.
00:46:30But Mom,
00:46:32why invite him
00:46:33after all he did?
00:46:34After how he just
00:46:35up and left us
00:46:36all those years ago?
00:46:41Sam,
00:46:42babe,
00:46:43what are you doing?
00:46:44Aren't you supposed
00:46:44to be at work?
00:46:45Sam,
00:46:46are you leaving?
00:46:46You're just gonna
00:46:47walk out on me?
00:46:48On our child?
00:46:49Listen, Denise,
00:46:50I gotta live for myself.
00:46:51I know it might sound crazy,
00:46:52but I really think
00:46:52I got a future
00:46:53with this basketball shit.
00:46:54I can't let you
00:46:55and that baby
00:46:56drag me down.
00:46:56Sam,
00:46:57he's not just
00:46:58some baby.
00:46:58He's your son.
00:47:00I'm begging you,
00:47:01please don't walk out on him.
00:47:02He needs his father.
00:47:04Hey,
00:47:04get out of my way.
00:47:05I'm done living
00:47:06this depressing-ass life
00:47:07with you.
00:47:13No.
00:47:14Sam,
00:47:14get me to the hospital.
00:47:16We have to save our baby,
00:47:17please.
00:47:22Mom.
00:47:23Mama.
00:47:48That's all in the past.
00:47:55him leaving you
00:47:56was the biggest mistake
00:47:57of his life.
00:47:58But I don't hate him.
00:48:00I don't feel anything
00:48:01towards him.
00:48:02So now that you've
00:48:03made it, Malik,
00:48:04let's show him
00:48:05what a special man
00:48:06his son has become.
00:48:07He'll be proud of you.
00:48:08And let him see
00:48:09that my mom
00:48:09never needed him,
00:48:11that she raised me
00:48:11into a star
00:48:12all on her own.
00:48:13Let that guilt
00:48:14crush him.
00:48:16I told you two dipshits
00:48:17to stay the hell
00:48:18away from me.
00:48:20Are you fucking
00:48:21deaf or stupid?
00:48:30Denise,
00:48:30I told you already,
00:48:32we're done.
00:48:34My wife,
00:48:35Roxanne,
00:48:35here,
00:48:36is the love of my life,
00:48:37the only woman
00:48:38in my heart.
00:48:39So stop parading
00:48:40yourself around,
00:48:41acting like you belong
00:48:43at Zach's welcome party.
00:48:44Sam, honey,
00:48:45don't be so harsh.
00:48:46I'm sure Denise
00:48:46is just acting
00:48:47out of jealousy.
00:48:48And honestly,
00:48:49if I were her,
00:48:50I'd be jealous too.
00:48:51Oh my God,
00:48:52that dress.
00:48:53Look,
00:48:53I don't know where
00:48:54you got the money
00:48:55to rent that thing,
00:48:56but I didn't see
00:48:57any space on the guest list
00:48:58for blue-collar nobodies
00:48:59and their wannabe sons.
00:49:01Zach's welcome party?
00:49:02Wait, no,
00:49:03you've got it all wrong.
00:49:05Wrong?
00:49:06Listen,
00:49:06we know you're here
00:49:07because you saw
00:49:07Zach's post on Instagram.
00:49:09He just signed
00:49:09a 10-day contract
00:49:10with the Lakers,
00:49:11so you dragged
00:49:12this little street rat
00:49:12here hoping to get
00:49:13a piece of the pie.
00:49:14You really have no shame,
00:49:16do you?
00:49:16You got caught
00:49:17wearing around
00:49:18with old women
00:49:18and you still have
00:49:20the audacity
00:49:20to show your face here?
00:49:22Denise,
00:49:23look at Roxanne
00:49:24and Zach,
00:49:25then look at you
00:49:25and Malik.
00:49:26God,
00:49:27I can't believe
00:49:27I was ever stupid
00:49:28enough to mess around
00:49:29with you.
00:49:30Stop embarrassing
00:49:30yourselves
00:49:31and get lost.
00:49:33Samuel,
00:49:33you should be proud
00:49:34of the man Malik
00:49:34has become.
00:49:35Those things you said,
00:49:36they're all rumors.
00:49:36Malik's in the league
00:49:37now too.
00:49:38What,
00:49:38the YMCA Rec League?
00:49:39Playing against a bunch
00:49:40of old grandpas
00:49:41with blown out knees?
00:49:42Denise,
00:49:42this is the nicest
00:49:43damn hotel in the county.
00:49:44You're fish out of water here.
00:49:45Just go home
00:49:46and dig some scrapes
00:49:47out of the dumpster
00:49:47for dinner.
00:49:48That's far more in line
00:49:49with your lifestyle.
00:49:52You're wrong.
00:49:53We're not fish
00:49:54out of water.
00:49:56Malik and I
00:49:56are distinguished guests
00:49:57at the Lakers
00:49:58rookie showcase.
00:49:59What?
00:50:00Are you saying
00:50:01that Malik's playing
00:50:02for the Lakers now?
00:50:05Yes.
00:50:06Malik is a Laker.
00:50:16Damn it,
00:50:17Denise!
00:50:20Cut the crap.
00:50:21I know exactly
00:50:22what you're trying to do.
00:50:23You drag this low-life Malik
00:50:25here to lash onto Zach
00:50:26and get a taste
00:50:27of NBA royalty.
00:50:28But let me tell you something.
00:50:30My son and I
00:50:31want absolutely nothing
00:50:33to do with bottom-fleeting
00:50:34misqueriards like you!
00:50:37Sam,
00:50:38don't be so mean.
00:50:39Denise?
00:50:40Malik?
00:50:41Honestly,
00:50:42I get it.
00:50:42You want your chance
00:50:43to mingle with the stars.
00:50:44But showing up here
00:50:46and telling fairy tales?
00:50:48That's just embarrassing.
00:50:49Sam,
00:50:50all you ever talk about
00:50:51is Zach.
00:50:51Zach this,
00:50:52Zach that.
00:50:52And you know
00:50:53what the most ironic part is?
00:50:54He's just your stepson.
00:50:56Malik is your real son, Sam.
00:50:58Your flesh and blood.
00:50:59Mom,
00:50:59can't you see?
00:51:00He's not gonna change his mind.
00:51:02In his eyes,
00:51:02I'm just a mistake.
00:51:03An accident.
00:51:05Sweetheart,
00:51:06you're the furthest thing
00:51:07from a mistake.
00:51:08You're everything
00:51:09he never had the courage
00:51:10to become.
00:51:11He just doesn't know
00:51:12the real you.
00:51:21Denise,
00:51:21your scumbag son is right.
00:51:23He was a mistake.
00:51:24Some rec league benchwarmer
00:51:25has no right
00:51:26to call himself my son.
00:51:28Zach's the only son
00:51:29I'll ever have.
00:51:29He may not be mined by blood,
00:51:30but he's a thousand times
00:51:31more of a man
00:51:32than Malik will ever be.
00:51:33He's on the Lakers now.
00:51:34He's gonna make me rich.
00:51:36And you too?
00:51:37You're deadweight.
00:51:38Rotten scum.
00:51:39I thank God every day
00:51:40that I left your broke asses
00:51:42and married Roxanne.
00:51:43We get it.
00:51:44Zach's your golden boy.
00:51:45But Sam,
00:51:45he's just on a ten-day contract.
00:51:47Malik...
00:51:47Shut your mouth already!
00:51:49Beat it, both of you!
00:51:50And stop following us around!
00:52:03I'm sorry, Malik.
00:52:05I didn't think
00:52:05he would still be so heartless.
00:52:07It's fine, Mom.
00:52:08I don't need him.
00:52:09I never did.
00:52:10But now that he and Zach are here,
00:52:12let's see what happens
00:52:13when they learn
00:52:14who the number one pick is.
00:52:16Let's see what happens
00:52:41when they learn
00:52:42who the number one pick is.
00:52:42That's...
00:52:42Your boy really made a name for himself.
00:52:44You must be one proud dad.
00:52:46For real!
00:52:47What coach doesn't dream
00:52:49of your kid playing for the Lakers?
00:52:52Coach, you're on the fast track now.
00:52:55You'll be raking in millions
00:52:56just from hosting training camps.
00:52:59I've been shooting hoops with Zach
00:53:01since he could walk.
00:53:03Sure, I helped shape him.
00:53:05But at the end of the day,
00:53:06it's his God-given talent
00:53:08that sets him apart.
00:53:11Absolutely.
00:53:12Sam coached him?
00:53:14Yes, but my son's been different
00:53:16from day one.
00:53:17You should have seen him
00:53:18in elementary school.
00:53:19He looked like Michael Jordan
00:53:21playing against a bunch
00:53:22of third stringers.
00:53:23Come on.
00:53:24I'm just a kid
00:53:25from Pinefield County.
00:53:26I owe everything to my parents.
00:53:27Talent and humility?
00:53:28This kid's going places.
00:53:36Who the hell
00:53:37let those roaches inside?
00:53:48Denise,
00:53:49you really want me
00:53:50to have security toss you out?
00:53:52Is that how you want this to end?
00:53:53They already snuck in.
00:53:54Might as well let them stay.
00:53:56If we throw them out,
00:53:57they'll probably start kicking
00:53:57and screaming like a couple lunatics.
00:53:59Isn't this party invite only?
00:54:01I thought only NBA players
00:54:02and execs were coming.
00:54:03Same here.
00:54:04Who the heck are they?
00:54:05Bring it on, Milik.
00:54:07Let's show everyone
00:54:08the difference between
00:54:08a basketball titan
00:54:10and a high school dropout.
00:54:12All right, then.
00:54:13If you're going to stick around,
00:54:14you'll stay on the sidelines
00:54:16and serve drinks
00:54:16to those of us
00:54:17who were actually invited.
00:54:19One false move
00:54:20and you're back on the street.
00:54:21Two things.
00:54:22One,
00:54:23we were invited.
00:54:25And two,
00:54:26it's time you put some respect
00:54:28on my mother's name.
00:54:34So that's it?
00:54:35You came here
00:54:36just to ruin Zach's moment?
00:54:38You know,
00:54:38today's done nothing
00:54:39but confirm to me
00:54:40that leaving your asses
00:54:41was the smartest thing
00:54:42I ever did.
00:54:44Jealousy's turned you
00:54:45into a monster, Malik.
00:54:47Boo!
00:54:49Unbelievable!
00:54:52Jealousy?
00:54:53You think I'm jealous of him?
00:54:54Roxanna, Zach,
00:54:55we were invited.
00:54:57Malik made the NBA.
00:54:58He got signed
00:54:59by the Lakers too.
00:55:00Why is that so hard
00:55:01for you to believe?
00:55:03Denise, please.
00:55:04You're clearly jealous.
00:55:05All the top podcasters
00:55:06are calling the team
00:55:07geniuses for signing Zach.
00:55:09They're saying
00:55:09he's an absolute steal.
00:55:11As for Malik,
00:55:12tell you what,
00:55:13maybe I'll get him
00:55:13to polish Zach's shoes
00:55:14for a living.
00:55:15That should cover the red
00:55:16for your shitty apartment.
00:55:17Ha ha ha ha!
00:55:19Ha ha ha!
00:55:22Just so you all know,
00:55:24if Zach and I
00:55:25played one-on-one,
00:55:26he wouldn't score
00:55:27a single point on me.
00:55:30Oh yeah?
00:55:31Then what's this?
00:55:35Three minutes from now,
00:55:37the league will announce
00:55:38their full rookie class.
00:55:40Let's see if your name
00:55:41even makes the list.
00:55:45Oh, and Malik
00:55:47stopped trying
00:55:47to measure up to Zach.
00:55:49I coached this kid
00:55:50all the way
00:55:50through the youth circuit.
00:55:52He's a defensive stopper
00:55:53with sick handles
00:55:54and deep three-point range.
00:55:56Not some streetball casual
00:55:58like you.
00:55:59That's right, Malik.
00:56:00Dudes who suck at hoops
00:56:01are everywhere.
00:56:02But you know
00:56:02what the worst thing is?
00:56:03Scrubs with irrational
00:56:04confidence like you.
00:56:06Whatever.
00:56:07You can't teach
00:56:08an old dog new tricks.
00:56:09Malik was born
00:56:10to take L's
00:56:11and he'll die
00:56:12that way too.
00:56:14Really?
00:56:15Last time I checked,
00:56:17the only one
00:56:17taking an L today
00:56:18is going to be
00:56:18your precious son,
00:56:19Zach.
00:56:20What the hell
00:56:21did you just say?
00:56:22Denise,
00:56:23do you hear the shit
00:56:24your son's pouting?
00:56:25This is exactly
00:56:26why I left you.
00:56:27Look at him.
00:56:27Look at him
00:56:28lying through his teeth.
00:56:29He got that straight
00:56:30from his mother.
00:56:32Listen closely.
00:56:34My mom's the kindest,
00:56:36most honest person
00:56:37I've ever met.
00:56:38The real problem
00:56:39is those who use
00:56:40her kindness
00:56:41as an excuse
00:56:42to bully her.
00:56:48Kindness?
00:56:48Honesty?
00:56:49What the fuck
00:56:50does that get you?
00:56:51Now I've got
00:56:52Zach and Roxanne
00:56:53and we're climbing
00:56:54the ladder.
00:56:54We're on a whole
00:56:55other planet
00:56:56while you're still
00:56:57busting your ass
00:56:58doing cheap
00:56:58blue-collar work
00:56:59like some dirt-poor
00:57:01destitute scum.
00:57:03Sam,
00:57:04listen to me.
00:57:05Malik did get signed
00:57:06by the Lakers.
00:57:07And he's not just
00:57:08a rookie,
00:57:09he's the number
00:57:09one draft pick.
00:57:10When that timer
00:57:11goes out,
00:57:12you'll eat every word
00:57:12you just said.
00:57:14Get out of here.
00:57:15All the lies
00:57:16you could have told
00:57:17and you say
00:57:17he's the number
00:57:18one pick?
00:57:19Denise,
00:57:19Malik's a high school
00:57:20dropout who's been
00:57:21working minimum wage
00:57:21jobs to stay afloat.
00:57:23Number one,
00:57:23my fucking ass.
00:57:24Malik,
00:57:24you sure talk
00:57:25a pretty big game
00:57:26for a good-for-nothing
00:57:27failure.
00:57:28You think I don't
00:57:29know the real you?
00:57:30Then tell me.
00:57:32Tell me who
00:57:32you think I am.
00:57:34Gladly.
00:57:34You're an idiot
00:57:35who dropped out
00:57:35of school,
00:57:36poured yourself out
00:57:37to old ladies
00:57:38and got arrested for it.
00:57:39Now you're a broke,
00:57:40jobless ex-con
00:57:40living in abdite poverty
00:57:41so you show up here
00:57:42trying to ride
00:57:43my son's coattails.
00:57:45Sam,
00:57:46you can insult me
00:57:47all you want,
00:57:48but Malik is your son.
00:57:49How could you speak
00:57:50so cruelly
00:57:51about someone
00:57:52you helped
00:57:52bring into this life?
00:57:53What kind of father
00:57:54are you?
00:58:05You think I can't
00:58:06see what this is?
00:58:07All this talk
00:58:08about Sam,
00:58:09Sam,
00:58:10Malik's your son.
00:58:11You're just saying
00:58:12that to score
00:58:12a handout.
00:58:13Here,
00:58:14take the cash,
00:58:15grab your man
00:58:16weir of a son
00:58:17and get the hell
00:58:18out of my face.
00:58:19Yeah,
00:58:20fuck off already!
00:58:27We don't want
00:58:28your money.
00:58:29I raised Malik
00:58:30on my own.
00:58:31I never asked
00:58:32you for a cent.
00:58:34Oh,
00:58:34I see.
00:58:36Not enough?
00:58:42Sam,
00:58:43what are you doing?
00:58:44Here.
00:58:44This is more than
00:58:45you'll make
00:58:46in the next six months.
00:58:48Now take it
00:58:48and skedaddle.

00:59:14My mom

00:59:17your dirty money.
00:59:18Fucking hell
00:59:19and we were being
00:59:20so generous too!
00:59:21Apologize now!
00:59:22I don't think so.
00:59:24The only ones
00:59:25apologizing today
00:59:26are gonna be you,
00:59:27your mom,
00:59:28and Mr. Samuel Carter.
00:59:31In 50 seconds,
00:59:32you'll be hit
00:59:33by a wave of regret
00:59:34unlike anything
00:59:35you've ever experienced.
00:59:37Talking trash
00:59:37on the top franchise's turf?
00:59:39Know your place,
00:59:40asshole?
00:59:41My son just got signed
00:59:42by the top franchise.
00:59:4310-day contract or not,
00:59:45he's in the big leagues now.
00:59:46And me?
00:59:47I'm a coach
00:59:48who raised a pro.
00:59:49I'll be famous.
00:59:50What could I possibly regret?
00:59:51That's right.
00:59:52Keep this nonsense up
00:59:54and I'll have security
00:59:55drag you out!
00:59:56If security dragged me out,
00:59:57this party wouldn't
00:59:59last another minute.
01:00:06This lavish banquet
01:00:07you're attending,
01:00:08it's all thanks
01:00:09to my son.
01:00:10How can you all
01:00:11still not see that?
01:00:18This is hilarious!
01:00:20What kind of drugs
01:00:21are you on
01:00:21to be saying shit like that?
01:00:23Enough!
01:00:24Security!
01:00:25Get them out of here!
01:00:31That's Madeline Barnes,
01:00:33the Lakers' owner!
01:00:34And there's Leela Barnes!
01:00:49Mom, Dad,
01:00:50did you see that?
01:00:50Lila just blew me a kiss!
01:00:52We saw it, baby!
01:00:53She must be your new
01:00:54number one fan!
01:00:55This is huge!
01:00:57Forget a 10-day contract,
01:00:58you'll be a rotation player
01:01:00any day now!
01:01:01Who knows?
01:01:02You might even crack
01:01:03the starting lineup!
01:01:06Let's go!
01:01:07You sure that kiss
01:01:08was for you?
01:01:10Who else would it be for?
01:01:12Your bum-ass?
01:01:13Malik,
01:01:14face the facts.
01:01:15Zach's him,
01:01:16and you're not.
01:01:18Now just walk away
01:01:20before the whole world
01:01:21sees what a poser you are.
01:01:22When that rookie list drops,
01:01:24we'll see
01:01:25who's really him.
01:01:35Malik,
01:01:36you goddamn bastard!
01:01:37Welcome, everyone,
01:01:39to the Lakers'
01:01:40official rookie showcase
01:01:41in Pinefield County.
01:01:45To all the rookies,
01:01:46veteran players,
01:01:47and members of the press,
01:01:49thank you for being here.
01:01:50I'm thrilled to announce
01:01:51that at this year's
01:01:52NBA Draft Combine,
01:01:53a dark horse came out
01:01:54of Pinefield County
01:01:55and shocked the whole world!
01:01:57This young,
01:01:57up-and-coming star
01:01:58ended Pinefield County's
01:01:59long drought,
01:02:00getting drafted by the Lakers
01:02:01and becoming the first player
01:02:02from our county
01:02:03to make the NBA
01:02:04in more than 30 years!
01:02:06Baby,
01:02:06you're the first pro player
01:02:08from Pinefield County
01:02:09in three decades,
01:02:10and the Lakers
01:02:11already loves you!
01:02:12Malik isn't even fit
01:02:14to shine your shoes.
01:02:15Forget that bummer, Malik.
01:02:16He's bad luck.
01:02:17Let's welcome him now
01:02:19to share his story
01:02:20and discuss his remarkable
01:02:22rise to success.
01:02:24Go ahead, son.
01:02:26Take the stage.
01:02:44Hey, everyone!
01:02:46I'm Zach Foster,
01:02:47making history for Pinefield County,
01:02:49getting picked by the Lakers.
01:02:53the Lakers.
01:02:53But really,
01:02:54I owe it all to my dad.
01:02:55He was with me every day,
01:02:57training with me,
01:02:59keeping me disciplined.
01:03:00Hold up.
01:03:01You said you signed with the team?
01:03:03What's your position?
01:03:07I'm a backup point guard,
01:03:08the one on the 10-day contract.
01:03:09Why?
01:03:12Ridiculous!
01:03:12The player who made history,
01:03:14the player who signed with the Lakers
01:03:15straight out of the combine,
01:03:17is the number one draft pick.
01:03:19You're a garbage-time backup.
01:03:20You don't even belong
01:03:21on the same court as him.
01:03:22And the name of that top overall pick
01:03:24is Malik Carter!
01:03:29What?
01:03:32Malik?
01:03:36Malik's this year's top overall pick?
01:03:45No.
01:03:47No way.
01:03:48Malik can't be the number one pick.
01:03:50It's impossible.
01:03:51Yeah.
01:03:51You guys have the wrong person, right?
01:03:53It's a mistake.
01:03:54It has to be.
01:03:55He dropped out of high school.
01:03:57He's a nobody.
01:03:57How the hell could he be a top pick?
01:03:59That's preposterous.
01:04:00The number one draft pick
01:04:01is Malik Carter
01:04:02from Drywill.
01:04:04A poor town, yes,
01:04:05but that's exactly
01:04:06what makes his story so powerful.
01:04:08Him going number one
01:04:10is the biggest news
01:04:11of the year in the NBA.
01:04:12You got a problem with that?
01:04:15Holy shit!
01:04:16This Malik Carter's the real deal.
01:04:18He sounds like the next big thing.
01:04:20And his own father
01:04:21was just talking down on him?
01:04:22What a joke.
01:04:23Get the cameras on that
01:04:24and have the guy canceled.
01:04:28No.
01:04:30No way.
01:04:31This isn't real.
01:04:33This isn't real.
01:04:36Malik!
01:04:36Say something!
01:04:38Tell them it's a mistake!
01:04:39You little punk!
01:04:40When the Lakers draft someone,
01:04:42it's never a mistake!
01:04:43It's one thing to be
01:04:44a third-string scrub,
01:04:45but verbally abusing
01:04:46our new franchise player?
01:04:47Folks, we're calling a meeting
01:04:48with the coaching staff.
01:04:50In light of this stunt,
01:04:51we're reevaluating
01:04:51whether Zach Forster
01:04:52deserves a spot on our team.
01:05:00Wait!
01:05:01Please, don't cut Zach from the team.
01:05:03We were just shocked
01:05:04by Malik's story.
01:05:05That's all.
01:05:06We didn't see it coming.
01:05:07Shocked?
01:05:08You're his father.
01:05:10And you coach too, right?
01:05:12A kid with that much raw talent
01:05:14and you never even saw it?
01:05:15God handed you
01:05:16an incredible son.
01:05:17You abandoned him
01:05:18and didn't pay
01:05:19a penny of child support,
01:05:20but even after all that,
01:05:21he still wanted you here
01:05:22to celebrate with him.
01:05:23And what did you do?
01:05:25You insulted him,
01:05:26stomped all over him,
01:05:27treated him like dirt?
01:05:28You're an utterly
01:05:29despicable human being!
01:05:31What have I done?
01:05:34My son was the real talent.
01:05:36He was right in front of me
01:05:38and I chose a third stringer instead.
01:05:42And you?
01:05:44Tonight is a celebration
01:05:45of our drafted rookies,
01:05:47future pillars of this franchise.
01:05:50Laker icons are here to witness it.
01:05:52But you,
01:05:53a player on a 10-day contract,
01:05:56thought you could step forward
01:05:57and pass as the headliner?
01:05:59Forget the meeting.
01:06:00Your contract's off.
01:06:01You're arrogant,
01:06:02dishonest,
01:06:03and a disgrace to our team.
01:06:05You're not just off the Lakers.
01:06:06We'll make sure you're blacklisted
01:06:07across the whole goddamn league.
01:06:09Scratch that.
01:06:09The whole world!
01:06:11You'll never play
01:06:12organized basketball again!
01:06:14No.
01:06:16This can't be real.
01:06:19This has to be a nightmare.
01:06:23Mrs. Barnes, please.
01:06:24This is all a misunderstanding.
01:06:26I'm begging you,
01:06:27just give Zach one more chance.
01:06:29Relax, Zach.
01:06:30Being banned from the league
01:06:31won't kill you.
01:06:32At worst,
01:06:33you'll just be out there
01:06:33cleaning shoes for a living.
01:06:36Go say a few words.
01:06:48Me?

01:07:43all of you.

01:07:45Zach Foster,
01:07:46we were going to just
01:07:47blacklist you,
01:07:49but now you've committed
01:07:50attempted murder.

01:08:04for trying to hurt
01:08:04my Malik!
01:08:06No,
01:08:06I'm not a criminal.
01:08:08I'm a star player.
01:08:09I'm supposed to be him.
01:08:11Dad,
01:08:11Mom,

01:08:21Help him!
01:08:22Don't drag me into this!
01:08:24I'm not that kid's father.
01:08:26Malik's my real son.
01:08:27I don't even know you guys!
01:08:31Samuel Carter,
01:08:32you backstabbing
01:08:33piece of shit!
01:08:34I swear I'll make you pay!
01:08:40Malik,
01:08:41Denise,
01:08:41please,
01:08:43just give me another chance.
01:08:44I've missed you both,
01:08:44I swear.
01:08:45Malik blood's thicker than water,
01:08:46right?
01:08:47I'm your father.
01:08:48Samuel,
01:08:48I'm the number one draft pick
01:08:49in the NBA now,
01:08:50and you're just my deadbeat dad
01:08:51who ran from us
01:08:52the second life got hard,
01:08:53so tell me,
01:08:54do you regret it now?
01:08:59But Malik,
01:09:00I really am sorry.
01:09:02I regret it every single day.
01:09:04I was blind,
01:09:05stupid,
01:09:06everything was my fault.
01:09:08Please, son,
01:09:09just give me a chance.
01:09:10Let's fix this.
01:09:11Let's be a family again.
01:09:15Don't call me son.
01:09:16We cut ties a long time ago,
01:09:18and from now on,
01:09:18my last name isn't Carter anymore.
01:09:20I'm taking my mother's surname.
01:09:22From this moment forward,
01:09:23my name is Malik Grant.
01:09:25Move.
01:09:26You're in my way.
01:09:30I'm Malik Carter,
01:09:31this year's top overall pick,
01:09:33but the road I took here
01:09:34probably doesn't look like
01:09:35most of yours.
01:09:36It's true.
01:09:37I dropped out of high school.
01:09:38The only time I had to train
01:09:39was between shifts
01:09:40at whatever job I could get.
01:09:41I only made it to the combine
01:09:42because my coach and teammates
01:09:44sold their things
01:09:44to get me there.
01:09:47I'm not saying this
01:09:48to put myself on a pedestal.
01:09:50I'm saying it to give thanks.
01:09:52Everything I am today,
01:09:53I owe to the people
01:09:54who believed in me.
01:10:00And no one believes in me
01:10:01more than my coach,
01:10:02Darnell Parker.
01:10:08To help cover my room
01:10:10and board for the combine,
01:10:11Coach Darnell sold
01:10:13his beloved pickup truck,
01:10:15his only means of transportation.
01:10:19And I can't forget my brothers,
01:10:21Logan, Andre, Jamal, Kyle.
01:10:24They were my teammates,
01:10:25my best friends.
01:10:27We trained every day
01:10:28on a beat-up court
01:10:28in our neighborhood,
01:10:29only one rickety hoop
01:10:30with no net.
01:10:32When I left for the combine,
01:10:33they handed me their waiter tips,
01:10:35their car wash money,
01:10:36even the few dollars
01:10:37they saved by quitting coffee.
01:10:39Malik, I've got some cash
01:10:40saved up from washing cars
01:10:41all these years.
01:10:42Take it.
01:10:43Use it for the combine.
01:10:45Malik, take mine too.
01:10:46I've been saving my tips
01:10:47from waiting tables.
01:10:48Here's my share, Malik.
01:10:51Coach, where'd you even
01:10:52get this much?
01:10:53Wait, did you sell
01:10:54your pickup truck?
01:10:55That old truck's been with me
01:10:57for 20 years.
01:10:59Carried me through
01:10:59every chapter of my life.
01:11:02And now it's going to carry you
01:11:03one step closer to your dream.
01:11:06Your mom's right.
01:11:08You got to go to the combine.
01:11:10Got to show those scouts
01:11:11what you got.
01:11:13We all believe in you, Malik.
01:11:21And finally,
01:11:24the person I owe the most to,
01:11:27my mother, Denise Grant.
01:11:32I don't think you truly understand
01:11:33just how incredible you are.
01:11:35You had me when you were only 19.
01:11:38My pops jumped ship
01:11:39before I was even born.
01:11:41He took everything,
01:11:42every cent you'd saved up,
01:11:43even the money you set away
01:11:45from my college fund.
01:11:46He took everything,
01:11:47every cent you'd saved up,
01:11:48even the money you set aside
01:11:50from my college fund.
01:11:51When I turned five,
01:11:52we started moving
01:11:53from one apartment to the next.
01:11:55A single mom
01:11:56with an over-energetic
01:11:57little boy.
01:11:58Everywhere we went,
01:12:00people didn't want us.
01:12:02And you were only 24,
01:12:04still learning how to survive
01:12:05in this world.
01:12:07For as long as I can remember,
01:12:09I've had one dream
01:12:10to give you a home.
01:12:12One that belongs to you.
01:12:14One that you can retire
01:12:15and grow old in.
01:12:16When I was 10,
01:12:17I'd see you wake up
01:12:18in the middle of the night
01:12:18holding your stomach in pain.
01:12:20I didn't understand it then,
01:12:21but later I learned
01:12:22that it was hunger.
01:12:24You skipped meals
01:12:25so I could have enough to eat.
01:12:26You went to bed every night
01:12:27on an empty stomach.
01:12:28When I started playing ball
01:12:29at age 12,
01:12:30you stood by me.
01:12:31You counted every made free throw,
01:12:32every mile I ran.
01:12:33You kept me straight,
01:12:34kept me from going
01:12:35down the wrong path.
01:12:36You told me that the one thing
01:12:37no one can ever take from us
01:12:38is our dignity.
01:12:40Without you,
01:12:40I wouldn't be standing here.
01:12:42You gave me faith,
01:12:43gave me strength.
01:12:44You gave me clothes
01:12:45when you had none,
01:12:46food when you were starving.
01:12:48You gave me everything.
01:12:49Your youth,
01:12:50your time,
01:12:50your love.
01:12:51Mom,
01:12:51you're the real MVP.
01:12:59Wow.
