00:27Malik, Malik, you got it.
00:30Draft Combine, special approval.
00:34I did it.
00:37Hey, where are you going?
00:40Tell my mom!
00:50What are you doing?
00:52Denise, why isn't your arm healed yet?
00:54Did you ever see a doctor?
00:56It's fine, I'm used to it.
00:58I don't want to waste money on treatment.
01:00Malik needs it for his Combine.
01:02Well, that's not my problem, is it?
01:04Please, Ben, I'm fine.
01:05I won't slow the line down.
01:06You won't?
01:06You're moving at half speed.
01:07And this?
01:08What the fuck is this?
01:09This place isn't a charity.
01:11If you can't pull your weight like everyone else, you're out.
01:12We clear?
01:17Mom!
01:20Mom, great news.
01:22They officially let me into the NBA Draft Combine.
01:24It starts in two days.
01:26I'm going to get signed, Mom.
01:27I'm going to put Drywell on the mark.
01:29I never doubted it, Malik.
01:32Not since you were five years old shooting at a milk crane.
01:36Malik.
01:37Now, listen.
01:40How much for the travel?
01:41About 800 bucks.
01:43I managed to save her.
01:45I'll just skip the team hotel.
01:47I'll find a hostel or a couch.
01:49It's fine, Mom.
01:50No.
01:51You aren't sharing a room with strangers.
01:54You need real sleep if you're going to play your best.
01:57Ma, stop.
01:58You're working three jobs.
01:59And your arm, I don't want my dream to cost you everything.
02:02We only need $200 more.
02:05Right?
02:06Your uncle, Victor, borrowed $200 last year to get Chase those limited edition sneakers.
02:10I'll just get him to pay me back.
02:12Let's go find him.
02:16Victor?
02:17Denise, perfect timing.
02:19Chase is heading to the Combine.
02:21And as his aunt, the least you can do is pitch in $500 for his new iPhone.
02:25He needs to look the part.
02:27Vic, I...
02:27Come on, Denise!
02:29I'll be a win for the whole family!
02:31Don't start acting cheap now!
02:36Malik's leaving tonight, too, so I was hoping you could pay me back the $200 you borrowed for those shoes.
02:42Malik?
02:42He didn't even graduate high school.
02:44And you think a gutter rat like him's making the NBA?
02:47You're fucking delusional!
02:49Exactly.
02:50The kid hasn't even had a single day of professional training.
02:53Why waste money on the Combine when he'll never get drafted?
02:56How could you say that?
02:57You really think that's all I am?
02:59Fine.
02:59I'll prove you both wrong.
03:01Just watch.
03:02I'm going to be the number one pick.
03:04The number one pick?
03:06You actually believe that crap?
03:07You're begging for $200 just to go get laughed off the court?
03:11You're shameless!
03:13Damn straight.
03:14Now pay up!
03:22What the hell is wrong with you guys?
03:24You could have hurt her!
03:25Please, Victor.
03:27That's for Malik's Combine trip.
03:29He needs it!
03:31When you borrow money, you pay it back.
03:33Who steals from the same people they're in debt to?
03:38That's way out of line.
03:40Watch your mouth, you piece of shit.
03:46Whatever.
03:47The money's ours now.
03:48Who cares what they think?
03:50Come on.
03:50Let's go by Chase that new phone.
03:56Mom, I'll just not go to the Combine.
03:58I'll keep working.
04:00Save money to fix your hand.
04:01What did you just say?
04:12Mom, stop!
04:13Stop it!
04:14Look at me!
04:18Mom.
04:19Malik, this world only respects two kinds of people.
04:23Those born at the top.
04:25And those who fight their way up there.
04:27Basketball is your weapon, Malik.
04:29So use it!
04:30Fight with it!
04:31Whatever people say,
04:32however hard it gets,
04:34you hold on to it and never let it go.
04:36But Mom,
04:37what about your hand?
04:38What are you going to do while I'm gone for three months?
04:41Forget my hand.
04:42Even if my whole body stops working.
04:44I'll make it to the day you come back.
04:50Malik!
04:56Malik, I've got some cash saved up from washing cars all these years.
05:00Take it.
05:01Use it for the Combine.
05:03Logan,
05:05I thought that was for your wedding.
05:06Nah, it's all right, man.
05:08We can always postpone it.
05:09Linda's going to roll her eyes at me,
05:11but she'll understand.
05:12I've been saving my tips from waiting tables.
05:15But Andre,
05:16what about your tuition?
05:18Aren't you playing for Boise State next year?
05:20Man, my grades suck.
05:22And you've got way more game than I do.
05:23I'll stay here in Drywall.
05:25Just go get that number one pick for us.
05:26All right?
05:33Here's my share, Malik.
05:34Coach, where'd you even get this much?
05:36Wait, did you sell your pickup truck?
05:40That old truck's been with me for 20 years.
05:42Carried me through every chapter of my life.
05:45And now it's going to carry you one step closer to your dream.
05:47Your mom's right.
05:48You've got to go to the Combine.
05:50And you've got to show those scouts what you've got.
05:52We all believe in you, Malik.
05:58Thank you all so much.
06:00Thanks, guys.
06:01I'm getting that number one to pick.
06:03You should get going.
06:06Go make us proud, Malik.
06:08I'll be here every Sunday praying for you.
06:14Malik!
06:17Show them how we do it in Drywall.
06:19Go get them, Malik.
06:21We're rooting for you.
06:49Oh, my God.
06:51Who is that?
06:53That kid's footwork.
06:55His hang time.
06:57His explosiveness.
06:58That's exactly the kind of player we need.
07:12How have I not heard anything about this kid?
07:14Who is that kid?
07:15Why isn't he on the list?
07:18Did some other team bribe you just to hide him from me?
07:21No, Mrs. Barnes.
07:22He's just some high school dropout.
07:25A high school dropout?
07:32It's almost like he's flying.
07:51Find out who he is.
07:53Now.
07:57Thank you for your patience, Malik.
07:59All final evaluations here are closed and confidential.
08:01Now that everything's official, congratulations.
08:05Welcome to the Lakers.
08:07I'm Madeline Barnes.
08:08I'm offering you a rookie contract worth 20 millions a year.
08:11How does that sound?
08:1220 million for a rookie?
08:14That's the highest rookie contract in league history.
08:19But this is real, right?
08:24Of course it is.
08:27I've read your full scouting report, Malik.
08:29You're not just a generational talent.
08:31You're kind, brave, a real character guy.
08:35And with that face, heck, your jerseys are going to sell out in minutes.
08:40And rest assured, your contract incentives will reflect that.
08:44What are you waiting for?
08:46Sign with us, Malik.
08:47You know, you're not just this year's number one pick.
08:53You're number one in my heart, too.
09:06If you've got any other conditions, just name them.
09:09Since the whole Lakers team might end up yours with the way things are going.
09:13Mrs. Barnes, I want to build an indoor basketball court in my hometown.
09:18Back in Drywell, my teammates and I only have a dirt lot by the road to play on.
09:22The guys there are full of talent, but since we don't have the resources, they've never had a fair shot.
09:29See?
09:30The guy's got a heart of gold.
09:32Of course, that won't be a problem.
09:33Lila, you'll take the lead on the construction of the court.
09:36And please, none of this Mrs. Barnes crap.
09:38Call me Madeline.
09:46Thank you, Madeline.
09:48But before I report to the team, is it okay if I take in a trip home first?
09:52I want to tell my mom the good news in person and thank everyone who supported me.
09:56Absolutely.
09:57You can fly there in my private jet.
09:59Only the best for our new star player.
10:01Thank you all.
10:02I'll be off then.
10:02See you later.
10:03Mom, we haven't officially drafted him yet.
10:06What if another team tries to catch him while he's gone?
10:09You're right.
10:10I'll have our G-lead coach pick him up and stay by his side the whole time.
10:14Oh, and call the construction crew and make sure they start work on that court pronto.
10:17All right.
10:18If anyone even tries to take Malik from us, I'll tear them apart myself.
10:28Miss Barnes, thank you for choosing my company for Project.
10:30I assure you we'll build you a professional-grade, state-of-the-art gym.
10:35Hold on.
10:37You pick my company because I know the guy the gym's being built for?
10:47No way.
10:48Could it really be?
10:54Thanks, Madeline.
10:56Oh, and one more thing.
10:57Can we donate a new pair of basketball shoes to every family in my hometown?
11:00We'll tell them it's a gift from the Lakers team owner.
11:03Absolutely.
11:04Oh, my people are going to love that.
11:07I'll get started on it right now.
11:15That's her.
11:15Her son went to the city to play basketball, but he ended up getting arrested for male prostitution.
11:21Heard he was selling his body to old ladies.
11:25God, what a fuck-up.
11:27His mom did everything she could to set him up for success, and he still got sent to the slammer.
11:41Oh, I knew I smelled something cheap.
11:45Looks like the poorest woman in town made it after all.
11:49Oh, I knew I smelled things cheap.
11:54Looks like the poorest woman in town made it after all.
11:57Isn't that Chase Holloway?
11:58I heard the Lakers' G League team signed him after the combine, and now they're donating a gym to our
12:04town.
12:05Naturally, they picked Chase's dad's company to build it.
12:10Wow, this Chase kid's got a bright future.
12:13Who knows?
12:13Maybe he'll be playing for the Lakers soon.
12:28Hi, Malik.
12:29I'm Eric Coleman, head coach of the Lakers' G League team.
12:32Coach Coleman, it's an honor.
12:33Thank you so much for picking me up.
12:34It's the least I could do.
12:36If you're putting dry well on the map, kid, the folks here should be proud of you.
12:40Hey, I'm just a guy who loves to hoop.
12:43It's about an hour's drive into town.
12:45Ready to hit the road?
12:53All right, everyone, I've got some great news.
12:55Thanks to the generosity of Lakers owner Madeline Barnes, all of you were getting a new pair of shoes today.
13:02And that's not all.
13:03She's also putting $3 million into building us a real basketball gym.
13:08Imagine that, our kid's playing on a sparkling professional court.
13:12And plus, this gym will employ more than half of residents in dry well in desperate need of work.
13:17Mrs. Barnes has truly blessed us all.
13:21Now, let's get to the shoes.
13:23Every household gets a pair.
13:24I'll read out the names, so come up when you're called.
13:26Ethan Alberston, Morgan Belmont, Chad Samperson, Jalen Tate, Connor Westbrook, Marcus Young.
13:39And that's it.
13:44Father, I didn't hear Malik's name.
13:47Father, she and her son are a disgrace to all of dry well.
13:51People like them deserve to be shamed, not rewarded.
13:54Father.
13:55Father, in the name of the Lord, I beg you, help me.
14:01Malik sold his body to old ladies for a quick buck.
14:06The prostitution of any form is both illegal and immoral, and is unworthy of the Lord's blessings, let alone a
14:13pair of sneakers.
14:14Everyone knows he got locked for doing sacks work for old hags.
14:19That's right.
14:20Meanwhile, Chase here got signed by the Lakers' G League squad.
14:23He's the whole reason they're building the gym and giving us these shoes.
14:26He's dry well's real hometown hero.
14:29Malik's lucky.
14:30He doesn't deserve a cousin like him.
14:32Damn.
14:33Didn't think Malik would stoop that low.
14:35My brother gave Malik money when he left.
14:38All for him to end up behind bars.
14:40Malik's my son.
14:41I know him better than anyone, and he's not who you're saying he is.
14:45Everyone who went to the Combine stayed a week, ten days at most.
14:50Malik's been gone for over a month.
14:52What's he still doing there if not rotting away in some jail cell?
14:54Your son breaks the law and disgraces this town, and you've still got the nerve to come ask for a
15:00free pair of shoes?
15:00What if Mrs. Barnes finds out our town produced a delinquent like Malik and pulls the plug on the gym
15:06project?
15:07Who's going to take the blame then, huh?
15:09I just want to get Malik a pair of shoes.
15:11He grew up here just like every other kid, and he's always had a good heart.
15:16Sure, we might not be the richest family around, but that doesn't make my son a failure or a criminal!
15:22Shut your mouth!
15:23Defending that vile boy in front of God like this?
15:26Truly shameless!
15:28I'll throw those shoes in the trash before I give them to your son!
15:34You want the shoes?
15:36Fine.
15:40Then crawl over here and clean them.
15:47Chase, I'm your aunt.
15:50Don't pull the ant card.
15:52My son plays for the Lakers now.
15:54The freaking Lakers donated these shoes because of him.
15:57If you want something from our family, you're going to have to beg for it.
16:01Well, you want these shoes or not, kneel and shine them clean!
16:05Kneel!
16:06Kneel!
16:09Kneel!
16:10Kneel!
16:11Kneel!
16:13Kneel!
16:14Kneel!
16:14Kneel!
16:15Kneel!
16:15Kneel!
16:15Kneel!
16:16Kneel!
16:17Kneel!
16:30Kneel!
16:34Coach, could you all hang back for a moment?
16:35My mom comes here every Sunday to pray for me.
16:37I don't want to overwhelm her with all these people.
16:40Okay, then. Go ahead.
16:57If Malik made mistakes,
16:59then I failed him as his mother.
17:02It's my fault.
17:05All of it.
17:10Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame!
17:15Shame! Shame! Shame!
17:19Shame!
17:20Shame!
17:20Shame!
17:22Shame!
17:23Shame!
17:23Shame!
17:25Shame!
17:29Mom!
17:32Who dared to hurt my mom?
17:36Who dared to hurt my mom?
18:05Malik!
18:07Malik!
18:08You got it!
18:09Draft combine.
18:10Special approval.
18:13I did it.
18:16Hey, where are you going?
18:19Tell my mom!
18:29What are you doing?
18:31Denise, why isn't your arm healed yet?
18:33Did you ever see a doctor?
18:36It's fine. I'm used to it. I don't want to waste money on treatment.
18:39Malik needs it for his combine.
18:41Well, that's not my problem, is it?
18:43Please, Ben. I'm fine. I won't slow the line down.
18:45You won't? You're moving at half speed.
18:46And this? What the fuck is this?
18:48This place isn't a charity.
18:49If you can't pull your weight like everyone else, you're out. We clear?
18:57Mom!
18:59Mom, great news.
19:01They officially let me into the NBA draft combine. It starts in two days.
19:05I'm gonna get signed, Mom.
19:07I'm gonna put Drywell on the mark.
19:08I never doubted it, Malik.
19:11Not since you were five years old shooting at a milk crane.
19:15Malik.
19:17Now, listen. How much for the travel?
19:20About 800 bucks. I managed to save it. I'll just skip the team hotel. I'll find a hostel or a
19:27couch. It's fine, Mom.
19:28No. You aren't sharing a room with strangers. You need real sleep if you're gonna play your best.
19:36Ma, stop. You're working three jobs. In your arm, I don't want my dream to cost you everything.
19:41We only need $200 more. Right? Your uncle, Victor, borrowed $200 last year to get Chase those limited edition sneakers.
19:49I'll just get him to pay me back. Let's go find him.

20:41I'm gonna be the number one pick.
20:43The number one pick? You actually believe that crap? You're begging for $200 just to go get laughed off the
20:50court?
20:50You're shameless!
20:52Damn straight. Now pay up!
21:01What the hell is wrong with you guys? You could've hurt her!
21:04Please, Victor. That's for Malik's combine trip. He needs it!
21:10When you borrow money, you pay it back.
21:13Who steals from the same people they're in debt to?
21:17That's way out of line!

21:25Whatever. The money's ours now. Who cares what they think?
21:29Come on. Let's go by Chase that new phone.
21:35Mom, I'll just not go to the combine. I'll keep working. Save money to fix your hand.
21:41What did you just say?
21:51Mom, stop! Stop it! Look at me!
21:57Mom.
21:58Malik, this world only respects two kinds of people.

23:13Coach, where'd you even get this much?
23:15Wait, did you sell your pickup truck?
23:19That old truck's been with me for 20 years.
23:22Carried me through every chapter of my life.
23:24And now it's gonna carry you one step closer to your dream.
23:27Your mom's right.
23:28You gotta go to the combine.
23:29And gotta show those scouts what you got.
23:31We all believe in you, Malik.
23:37Thank you all so much.
23:39Thanks, guys.
23:40I'm getting that number one to pick.
23:42You should get going.
23:45Go make us proud, Malik.
23:47I'll be here every Sunday praying for you.
23:53Malik!
23:56Show them how we do it in drywall!
23:58Go get them, Malik!
24:00We're rooting for you!
24:28Oh, my God!
24:30Who is that?
24:32That kid's footwork.
24:34His hang time, his explosiveness.
24:37That's exactly the kind of player we need.
24:51How have I not heard anything about this kid?
24:53Who is that kid?
24:54Why isn't he on the list?
24:57Did some other team bribe you just to hide him from me?
25:00No, Mrs. Barnes.
25:01He's just some high school dropout.
25:04A high school dropout?
25:11It's almost like he's flying.
25:30Find out who he is.
25:32Now.
25:36Thank you for your patience, Malik.
25:37All final evaluations here are closed and confidential.
25:41Now that everything's official, congratulations.
25:44Welcome to the Lakers.
25:46I'm Madeline Barnes.
25:47I'm offering you a rookie contract worth 20 millions a year.
25:50How does that sound?
25:5120 million for a rookie?
25:53That's the highest rookie contract in league history.
25:58But this is real, right?
26:03Of course it is.
26:06I've read your full scouting report, Malik.
26:08You're not just a generational talent.
26:10You're kind, brave, a real character guy.
26:14And with that face?
26:16Heck, your jerseys are going to sell out in minutes.
26:19And rest assured, your contract incentives will reflect that.
26:23What are you waiting for?
26:25Sign with us, Malik.
26:26You know, you're not just this year's number one pick.
26:32You're number one in my heart, too.
26:45If you've got any other conditions, just name them.
26:48Since the whole Lakers team might end up yours with the way things are going.
26:53Mrs. Barnes, I want to build an indoor basketball court in my hometown.
26:57Back in Drywell, my teammates and I only have a dirt lot by the road to play on.
27:01The guys there are full of talent, but since we don't have the resources, they've never had a fair shot.
27:09See? The guy's got a heart of gold.
27:11Of course, that won't be a problem.
27:12Lila, you'll take the lead on the construction of the court.
27:15And please, none of this Mrs. Barnes crap.
27:18Call me Madeline.
27:19Yeah!
27:25Thank you, Madeline.
27:27But before I report to the team, is it okay if I take a trip home first?
27:31I want to tell my mom the good news in person and thank everyone who supported me.
27:35Absolutely.
27:36You can fly there in my private jet.
27:38Only the best for our new star player.
27:40Thank you all. I'll be off then. See you later.
27:42Mom, we haven't officially drafted him yet.
27:45What if another team tries to touch him while he's gone?
27:49You're right. I'll have our G-lead coach pick him up and stay by his side the whole time.
27:53Oh, and call the construction crew and make sure they start work on that court pronto.
27:57Alright. If anyone even tries to take Malik from us, I'll tear them apart myself.
28:07Miss Barnes, thank you for choosing my company for project. I assure you we'll build you a professional-grade, state
28:13-of-the-art gym.
28:14Hold on.
28:16You picked my company because I know the guy the gym's being built for?
28:26No way. Could it really be?
28:33Thanks, Madeline.
28:35Oh, and one more thing. Can we donate a new pair of basketball shoes to every family in my hometown?
28:39We'll tell them it's a gift from the Lakers team owner.
28:43Absolutely. Oh, my people are going to love that. I'll get started on it right now.
28:54That's her. Her son went to the city to play basketball, but he ended up getting arrested for male prostitution.
29:00Heard he was selling his body to old ladies.
29:04God, what a fuck-up. His mom did everything she could to set him up for success, and he still
29:09got sent to the slammer.
29:20Ugh, I knew I smelled something cheap. Looks like the poorest woman in town made it after all.
29:28Ugh, I knew I smelled something cheap.
29:33Looks like the poorest woman in town made it after all.
29:36Isn't that Chase Holloway? I heard the Lakers G League team signed him after the combine, and now they're donating
29:43a gym to our town.
29:45Naturally, they picked Chase's dad's company to build it.
29:49Wow, this Chase kid's got a bright future. Who knows? Maybe he'll be playing for the Lakers soon.
30:07Hi, Malik. I'm Eric Coleman, head coach of the Lakers G League team. Coach Coleman, it's an honor. Thank you
30:13so much for picking me up. It's the least I could do.
30:15If you're putting dry well on the map, kid, the folks here should be proud of you.
30:19Hey, I'm just a guy who loves to hoop.
30:23It's about an hour's drive into town. Ready to hit the road?
30:32All right, everyone. I've got some great news. Thanks to the generosity of Lakers owner Madeline Barnes, all of you
30:38were getting a new pair of shoes today.
30:41And that's not all. She's also putting $3,000 into building us a real basketball gym.
30:47Imagine that, our kids playing on a sparkling professional court.
30:51And plus, this gym will employ more than half of residents in dry well in desperate need of work.
30:56Mrs. Barnes has truly blessed us all.
31:00Now let's get to the shoes. Every household gets a pair. I'll read out the names, so come up when
31:05you're called.
31:07Ethan Alberston, Morgan Belmont, Chad Samperson, Jalen Tate, Connor Westbrook, Marcus Young.
31:19That's it.
31:23Father, I didn't hear Malik's name.
31:26Father, she and her son are a disgrace to all of dry well.
31:30People like them deserve to be shamed, not rewarded.
31:33Father. Father, in the name of the Lord, I beg you, help me.
31:40Malik sold his body to old ladies for a quick buck.
31:46A prostitution of any form is both illegal and immoral, and is unworthy of the Lord's blessings, let alone a
31:52pair of sneakers.
31:54Everyone knows he got locked for doing sax work for old hags.
31:58That's right.
31:59Meanwhile, Chase here got signed by the Lakers' G League squad.
32:02He's the whole reason they're building the gym and giving us these shoes.
32:05He's dry well's real hometown hero.
32:08Malik's lucky.
32:09He doesn't deserve a cousin like him.
32:11Damn.
32:12Didn't think Malik would stoop that low.
32:14My brother gave Malik money when he left.
32:17All for him to end up behind bars.
32:19Malik's my son.
32:20I know him better than anyone, and he's not who you're saying he is.
32:25Everyone who went to the Combine stayed a week, ten days at most.
32:29Malik's been gone for over a month.
32:31What's he still doing there if not rotting away in some jail cell?
32:33Your son breaks the law and disgraces this town, and you've still got the nerve to come ask for a
32:39free pair of shoes?
32:40What if Mrs. Barnes finds out our town produced a delinquent like Malik and pulls the plug on the gym
32:45project?
32:46Who's going to take the blame then, huh?
32:48I just want to get Malik a pair of shoes.
32:50He grew up here just like every other kid, and he's always had a good heart.
32:55Sure, we might not be the richest family around, but that doesn't make my son a failure or a criminal!
33:01Shut your mouth!
33:03Defending that vile boy in front of God like this? Truly shameless!
33:06I'll throw those shoes in the trash before I give them to your son!
33:13You want the shoes? Fine.
33:19Then crawl over here and clean them.
33:27Chase, I'm your aunt.
33:29Don't pull the ant card. My son plays for the Lakers now.
33:33The freaking Lakers donated these shoes because of him.
33:36If you want something from our family, you're going to have to beg for it.
33:40Well, you want these shoes or not?
33:43Kneel and shine them clean!
33:45Kneel!
33:45Kneel!
33:46LL!
33:47Kneel!
33:50Kneel!

34:13Coach, could you all hang back for a moment?
34:15My mom comes here every Sunday to pray for me!
34:16I don't want to overwhelm her with all these people.
34:19Okay then, go ahead.
34:36If Malik made mistakes
34:39Then I failed him as his mother
34:42It's my fault
