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

00:16:14Kneel!
00:16:31Kneel!
00:16:31Kneel!
00:16:34Coach, could you all hang back for a moment?
00:16:36My mom comes here every Sunday to pray for me.
00:16:37I don't wanna overwhelm her with all of these people.
00:16:40Ok then. Go ahead.
00:16:48Lick the shoes!
00:16:50Lick the shoes!
00:16:51Lick the shoes!

00:26:59I want to build an indoor basketball court in my hometown
00:27:02back in Drywell my teammates and I only have a dirt lot by the road to play on
00:27:06the guys there are full of talent
00:27:08but since we don't have the resources
00:27:10they've never had a fair shot
00:27:14see? the guy's got a heart of gold
00:27:16of course that won't be a problem

00:27:48Mom, we haven't officially drafted him yet
00:27:50what if another team tries to punch him while he's gone?
00:27:54you're right
00:27:55I'll have our G-lead coach pick him up and stay by his side the whole time
00:27:58oh, and call the construction crew and make sure they start work on that court pronto
00:28:02alright, if anyone even tries to take Malik from us, I'll tear them apart myself
00:28:12Ms. Barnes, thank you for choosing my company for project
00:28:15I assure you we'll build you a professional-grade, state-of-the-art gym
00:28:19hold on
00:28:21you pick my company because I know the guy the gym's being built for?
00:28:31no way, could it really be?
00:28:39thanks, Madeline
00:28:40oh, and one more thing
00:28:41can we donate a new pair of basketball shoes to every family in my hometown?
00:28:45we'll tell them it's a gift from the Lakers team owner
00:28:47absolutely!
00:28:49oh, my people are going to love that
00:28:51I'll get started on it right now
00:28:59that's her
00:29:00her son went to the city to play basketball
00:29:02but he ended up getting arrested for male prostitution
00:29:05heard he was selling his body to old ladies
00:29:10god, what a fuck-up
00:29:11his mom did everything she could to set him up for success
00:29:14and he still got sent to the slammer
00:29:25ugh, I knew I smelled something cheap
00:29:29looks like the poorest woman in town made it after all
00:29:33ugh, I knew I smelled something cheap
00:29:38looks like the poorest woman in town made it after all
00:29:41isn't that Chase Holloway?
00:29:43I heard the Lakers G League team signed him after the combine
00:29:46and now they're donating a gym to our town
00:29:50naturally, they picked Chase's dad's company to build it
00:29:54wow, this Chase kid's got a bright future
00:29:57who knows, maybe he'll be playing for the Lakers soon
00:30:12hi Malik, I'm Eric Coleman
00:30:14head coach of the Lakers G League team
00:30:16Coach Coleman, it's an honor
00:30:17thank you so much for picking me up
00:30:19it's the least I could do
00:30:20you're putting dry well on the map, kid
00:30:22the folks here should be proud of you
00:30:24hey, I'm just a guy who loves to hoop
00:30:28it's about an hour's drive into town
00:30:29ready to hit the road?
00:30:37alright everyone, I've got some great news
00:30:40thanks to the generosity of Lakers owner Madeline Barnes
00:30:43all of you were getting a new pair of shoes today
00:30:46and that's not all
00:30:47she's also putting 3 mil dollars into building us a real basketball gym
00:30:52imagine that, our kids playing on a sparkling professional court
00:30:56and plus, this gym will employ more than half of residents in dry well
00:31:00in desperate need of work
00:31:01Mrs. Barnes has truly blessed us all
00:31:05now let's get to the shoes
00:31:07every household gets a pair
00:31:08I'll read out the names, so come up when you're called
00:31:12Ethan Alberston
00:31:14Morgan Belmont
00:31:15Chad Sampersen
00:31:17Jalen Tate
00:31:20Connor Westbrook
00:31:22Marcus Young
00:31:24that's it
00:31:25that's it
00:31:28father, I didn't hear Moutlick's name
00:31:31father, she and her son are a disgrace to all of dry well
00:31:35people like them deserve to be shamed, not rewarded
00:31:38father
00:31:39father, in the name of the lord, I beg you
00:31:42help me
00:31:46Malik sold his body to old ladies for a quick buck
00:31:51prostitution of any form is both illegal and immoral
00:31:54and is unworthy of the lord's blessings, let alone a pair of sneakers
00:31:59everyone knows he got locked for doing sax work for old hags
00:32:03that's right, meanwhile Chase here got signed by the Lakers G League squad
00:32:08he's the whole reason they're building the gym and giving us these shoes
00:32:11he's dry well's real hometown hero
00:32:13Malik's lucky, he doesn't deserve a cousin like him
00:32:16damn, didn't think Malik would stoop that low
00:32:19my brother gave Malik money when he left
00:32:22all for him to end up behind bars
00:32:24Malik's my son
00:32:26I know him better than anyone
00:32:27and he's not who you're saying he is
00:32:30everyone who went to the combine stayed a week, ten days at most
00:32:34Malik's been gone for over a month
00:32:36what's he still doing there if not rotting away in some jail cell
00:32:39your son breaks the law and disgraces this town
00:32:42and you've still got the nerve to come ask for a free pair of shoes?
00:32:45what if Mrs. Barnes finds out our town produced a delinquent like Malik
00:32:49and pulls the plug on the gym project
00:32:51who's gonna take the blame then, huh?
00:32:53I just wanna get Malik a pair of shoes
00:32:56he grew up here just like every other kid and he's always had a good heart
00:33:00sure, we might not be the richest family around
00:33:02but that doesn't make my son a failure or a criminal
00:33:06shut your mouth
00:33:08defending that vile boy in front of God like this
00:33:10truly shameless
00:33:12I'll throw those shoes in the trash before I give them to your son
00:33:18you want the shoes?
00:33:20fine
00:33:24then crawl over here and clean them
00:33:31chase
00:33:33I'm your aunt
00:33:34don't pull the ant card
00:33:36my son plays for the Lakers now
00:33:38the freaking Lakers donated these shoes because of him
00:33:41if you want something from our family you're gonna have to beg for it
00:33:45well, you want these shoes or not
00:33:48kneel and shine them clean
00:33:49me

00:33:58hill
00:34:18Coach, could you all hang back for a moment?
00:34:20My mom comes here every Sunday to pray for me.
00:34:22I don't want to overwhelm her with all these people.
00:34:24Okay then, go ahead.
00:34:41If Malik made mistakes, then I failed him as his mother.
00:34:47It's my fault.
00:34:49All of it.
00:34:54Shave, shave, shave, shave, shave, shave.
00:35:14Mom!
00:35:16Mom!
00:35:17Who dared to hurt my mom?
00:35:55Malik, Malik, you got it!
00:35:58Draft combine, special approval.
00:36:03I did it.
00:36:06Hey, where are you going?
00:36:08Tell my mom!
00:36:19What are you doing?
00:36:21Denise, why isn't your arm healed yet?
00:36:23Did you ever see a doctor?
00:36:25It's fine.
00:36:26I'm used to it.
00:36:27I don't want to waste money on treatment.
00:36:28Malik needs it for his combine.
00:36:31Well, that's not my problem, is it?
00:36:32Please, Ben.
00:36:33I'm fine.
00:36:33I won't slow the line down.
00:36:35You won't?
00:36:35You're moving at half speed.
00:36:36And this?
00:36:36What the fuck is this?
00:36:38This place isn't a charity.
00:36:39If you can't pull your weight like everyone else, you're out.
00:36:41We clear?
00:36:46Mom!
00:36:49Mom, great news.
00:36:50They officially let me into the NBA Draft Combine.
00:36:53It starts in two days.
00:36:54I'm going to get signed, Mom.
00:36:56I'm going to put Drywell on the mark.
00:36:58I never doubted it, Malik.
00:37:00Not since you were five years old shooting at a milk crane.
00:37:04Malik.
00:37:06Now, listen.
00:37:08How much for the travel?
00:37:10About 800 bucks.
00:37:11I managed to save it.
00:37:13I'll just skip the team hotel.
00:37:15I'll find a hostel or a couch.
00:37:17It's fine, Mom.
00:37:18No.
00:37:19You aren't sharing a room with strangers.
00:37:22You need real sleep if you're going to play your best.
00:37:25Ma, stop.
00:37:26You're working three jobs.
00:37:28And your arm, I don't want my dream to cost you everything.
00:37:31We only need $200 more.
00:37:33Right?
00:37:34Your uncle, Victor, borrowed $200 last year to get Chase those limited edition sneakers.
00:37:39I'll just get him to pay me back.
00:37:40Let's go find him.
00:37:45Victor?
00:37:46Denise.
00:37:47Perfect timing.
00:37:48Chase is heading to the Combine.
00:37:49And as his aunt, the least you can do is pitch in $500 for his new iPhone.
00:37:53He needs to look the part.
00:37:55Vic, I-
00:37:56Come on, Denise!
00:37:57I'll be a win for the whole family!
00:37:59Don't start acting cheap now!
00:38:04Malik's leaving tonight, too, so I was hoping you could pay me back the $200 you borrowed for those shoes.
00:38:10Malik?
00:38:11He didn't even graduate high school.
00:38:13And you think a gutter rat like him's making the NBA?
00:38:16You're fucking delusional!
00:38:18Exactly.
00:38:18The kid hasn't even had a single day of professional training.
00:38:22Why waste money on the Combine when he'll never get drafted?
00:38:25How could you say that?
00:38:26You really think that's all I am?
00:38:27Fine.
00:38:28I'll prove you both wrong.
00:38:29Just watch.
00:38:30I'm gonna be the number one pick.
00:38:32The number one pick?
00:38:34You actually believe that crap?
00:38:36You're begging for $200 just to go get laughed off the court?
00:38:40You're shameless!
00:38:41Damn straight!
00:38:43Now pay up!
00:38:51What the hell is wrong with you guys?
00:38:52You could've hurt her!
00:38:54Please, Victor.
00:38:55That's for Malik's Combine trip.
00:38:57He needs it!
00:39:00When you borrow money, you pay it back.
00:39:02Who steals from the same people they're in debt to?
00:39:07That's way out of line!
00:39:09Watch your mouth, you piece of shit!
00:39:15Whatever.
00:39:16The money's ours now.
00:39:17Who cares what they think?
00:39:18Come on.
00:39:19Let's go by Chase that new phone.
00:39:25Mom, I'll just not go to the Combine.
00:39:27I'll keep working.
00:39:28Save money to fix your hand.
00:39:30What did you just say?
00:39:41Mom, stop! Stop it! Look at me!
00:39:46Mom.
00:39:48Malik, this world only respects two kinds of people.
00:39:52Those born at the top.
00:39:53And those who fight their way up there.
00:39:56Basketball is your weapon, Malik!
00:39:57So use it!
00:39:58Fight with it!
00:39:59Whatever people say,
00:40:01however hard it gets,
00:40:02you hold onto it and never let it go.
00:40:04But Mom,
00:40:05what about your hand?
00:40:07What are you gonna do while I'm gone for three months?
00:40:09Forget my hand.
00:40:10Even if my whole body stops working,
00:40:12I'll make it to the day you come back.
00:40:19Malik!
00:40:25Malik!
00:40:26Malik, I've got some cash saved up from washing cars all these years.
00:40:28Take it.
00:40:30Use it for the Combine.
00:40:32Logan,
00:40:33I thought that was for your wedding.
00:40:35Nah, it's alright, man.
00:40:36We can always postpone it.
00:40:38Linda's gonna roll her eyes at me,
00:40:39but she'll understand.
00:40:41I've been saving my tips from waiting tables.
00:40:43But Andre,
00:40:44what about your tuition?
00:40:46Aren't you playing for Boise State next year?
00:40:49Man,
00:40:49my grades suck.
00:40:50And you've got way more game than I do.
00:40:52I'll stay here in drywall.
00:40:53Just go get that number one pick for us.
00:40:55Alright?
00:41:01Here's my share, Malik.
00:41:03Coach, where'd you even get this much?
00:41:05Wait, did you sell your pickup truck?
00:41:08That old truck's been with me for 20 years.
00:41:11Carried me through every chapter of my life.
00:41:13And now it's gonna carry you one step closer to your dream.
00:41:16Your mom's right.
00:41:17You gotta go to the Combine.
00:41:19You gotta show those scouts what you got.
00:41:21We all believe in you, Malik.
00:41:26Thank you all so much.
00:41:28Thanks, guys.
00:41:29I'm getting that number one to pick.
00:41:31You should get going.
00:41:34Go make us proud, Malik.
00:41:36I'll be here every Sunday praying for you.
00:41:42Malik!
00:41:45Show them how we do it in drywall.
00:41:48Go get them, Malik.
00:41:49We're rooting for you.
00:41:50Malika!
00:42:00Malika!
00:42:17Oh, my God.
00:42:20Who is that?
00:42:22That kid's footwork.
00:42:24His hang time, his explosiveness.
00:42:27That's exactly the kind of player we need.
00:42:40How have I not heard anything about this kid?
00:42:43Who is that kid?
00:42:44Why isn't he on the list?
00:42:46Did some other team bribe you just to hide him from me?
00:42:49No, Mrs. Barnes.
00:42:51He's just some high school dropout.
00:42:53A high school dropout?
00:43:01It's almost like he's flying.
00:43:20Find out who he is.
00:43:21Now.
00:43:25Thank you for your patience, Malik.
00:43:27All final evaluations here are closed and confidential.
00:43:30Now that everything's official, congratulations.
00:43:33Welcome to the Lakers.
00:43:35I'm Madeline Barnes.
00:43:36I'm offering you a rookie contract worth 20 millions a year.
00:43:39How does that sound?
00:43:4120 million for a rookie?
00:43:42That's the highest rookie contract in league history.
00:43:47But this is real, right?
00:43:52Of course it is.
00:43:55I've read your full scouting report, Malik.
00:43:58You're not just a generational talent.
00:44:00You're kind, brave, a real character guy.
00:44:03And with that face?
00:44:06Heck, your jerseys are going to sell out in minutes.
00:44:08And rest assured, your contract incentives will reflect that.
00:44:13What are you waiting for?
00:44:14Sign with us, Malik.
00:44:16You know, you're not just this year's number one pick.
00:44:22You're number one in my heart, too.
00:44:35If you've got any other conditions, just name them.
00:44:38Since the whole Lakers team might end up yours with the way things are going.
00:44:43Mrs. Barnes, I want to build an indoor basketball court in my hometown.
00:44:46Back in Drywell, my teammates and I only have a dirt lot by the road to play on.
00:44:50The guys there are full of talent, but since we don't have the resources, they've never had a fair shot.
00:44:58See? The guy's got a heart of gold.
00:45:00Of course, that won't be a problem.
00:45:02Lila, you'll take the lead on the construction of the court.
00:45:04And please, none of this Mrs. Barnes crap.
00:45:07Call me Madeline.
00:45:15Thank you, Madeline.
00:45:16But before I report to the team, is it okay if I take in a trip home first?
00:45:20I want to tell my mom the good news in person and thank everyone who supported me.
00:45:24Absolutely.
00:45:25You can fly there in my private jet.
00:45:27Only the best for our new star player.
00:45:30Thank you all.
00:45:30I'll be off then.
00:45:31See you later.
00:45:32Mom, we haven't officially drafted him yet.
00:45:34What if another team tries to punch him while he's gone?
00:45:38You're right.
00:45:39I'll have our G-lead coach pick him up and stay by his side the whole time.
00:45:42Oh, and call the construction crew and make sure they start work on that court pronto.
00:45:46All right.
00:45:47If anyone even tries to take Malik from us, I'll tear them apart myself.
00:45:56Miss Barnes, thank you for choosing my company for Project.
00:45:59I assure you we'll build you a professional-grade, state-of-the-art gym.
00:46:04Hold on.
00:46:05You pick my company because I know the guy the gym's being built for?
00:46:15No way.
00:46:16Could it really be?
00:46:23Thanks, Madeline.
00:46:24Oh, and one more thing.
00:46:26Can we donate a new pair of basketball shoes to every family in my hometown?
00:46:29We'll tell them it's a gift from the Lakers team owner.
00:46:31Absolutely.
00:46:33Oh, my people are going to love that.
00:46:35I'll get started on it right now.
00:46:43That's her.
00:46:44Her son went to the city to play basketball, but he ended up getting arrested for male prostitution.
00:46:50Heard he was selling his body to old ladies.
00:46:54God, what a fuck-up.
00:46:56His mom did everything she could to set him up for success, and he still got sent to the slammer.
00:47:09Oh, I knew I smelled something cheap.
00:47:13Looks like the poorest woman in town made it after all.
00:47:17Oh, I knew I smelled things cheap.
00:47:22Looks like the poorest woman in town made it after all.
00:47:25Isn't that Chase Holloway?
00:47:27I heard the Lakers' G League team signed him after the combine, and now they're donating a gym to our
00:47:33town.
00:47:34Naturally, they picked Chase's dad's company to build it.
00:47:38Wow, this Chase kid's got a bright future.
00:47:41Who knows?
00:47:42Maybe he'll be playing for the Lakers soon.
00:47:56Hi, Malik.
00:47:57I'm Eric Coleman, head coach of the Lakers' G League team.
00:48:00Coach Coleman, it's an honor.
00:48:02Thank you so much for picking me up.
00:48:03It's the least I could do.
00:48:04If you're putting dry well on the map, kid, the folks here should be proud of you.
00:48:08Hey, I'm just a guy who loves to hoop.
00:48:12It's about an hour's drive into town.
00:48:14Ready to hit the road?
00:48:21All right, everyone, I've got some great news.
00:48:24Thanks to the generosity of Lakers owner Madeline Barnes, all of you will be getting a new pair of shoes
00:48:29today.
00:48:30And that's not all.
00:48:32She's also putting $3 million into building us a real basketball gym.
00:48:36Imagine that, our kids playing on a sparkling professional court.
00:48:40And plus, this gym will employ more than half of residents in dry well in desperate need of work.
00:48:46Mrs. Barnes has truly blessed us all.
00:48:49Now, let's get to the shoes.
00:48:51Every household gets a pair.
00:48:53I'll read out the names, so come up when you're called.
00:48:56Ethan Alberston, Morgan Belmont, Chad Samperson, Jalen Tate, Connor Westbrook, Marcus Young.
00:49:08That's it.
00:49:12Father, I didn't hear Mowlick's name.
00:49:16Father, she and her son are a disgrace to all of dry well.
00:49:19People like them deserve to be shamed, not rewarded.
00:49:22Father, Father, in the name of the Lord, I beg you, help me.
00:49:30Malick sold his body to old ladies for a quick buck.
00:49:35The prostitution of any form is both illegal and immoral, and is unworthy of the Lord's blessings, let alone a
00:49:41pair of sneakers.
00:49:43Everyone knows he got locked for doing sax work for old hags.
00:49:48That's right.
00:49:49Meanwhile, Chase here got signed by the Lakers' G League squad.
00:49:52He's the whole reason they're building the gym and giving us these shoes.
00:49:55He's dry well's real hometown hero.
00:49:58Malick's lucky.
00:49:58He doesn't deserve a cousin like him.
00:50:01Damn.
00:50:02Didn't think Malick would stoop that low.
00:50:04My brother gave Malick money when he left.
00:50:06All for him to end up behind bars.
00:50:09Malick's my son.
00:50:10I know him better than anyone, and he's not who you're saying he is.
00:50:14Everyone who went to the Combine stayed a week, ten days at most.
00:50:18Malick's been gone for over a month.
00:50:20What's he still doing there if not rotting away in some jail cell?
00:50:23Your son breaks the law and disgraces this town, and you've still got the nerve to come ask for a
00:50:28free pair of shoes?
00:50:29What if Mrs. Barnes finds out our town produced a delinquent like Malick and pulls the plug on the gym
00:50:34project?
00:50:35Who's going to take the blame then, huh?
00:50:37I just want to get Malick a pair of shoes.
00:50:40He grew up here just like every other kid, and he's always had a good heart.
00:50:44Sure, we might not be the richest family around, but that doesn't make my son a failure or a criminal!
00:50:50Shut your mouth!
00:50:52Defending that vile boy in front of God like this?
00:50:55Truly shameless!
00:50:56I'll throw those shoes in the trash before I give them to your son!
00:51:03You want the shoes?
00:51:04Fine.
00:51:08Then crawl over here and clean them.
00:51:17Chase, I'm your aunt.
00:51:19Don't pull the ant card.
00:51:20My son plays for the Lakers now.
00:51:23The freaking Lakers donated these shoes because of him.
00:51:25If you want something from our family, you're going to have to beg for it.
00:51:30Well, you want these shoes or not, kneel and shine them clean.
00:51:34Kneel!
00:51:35Kneel!
00:51:38Kneel!
00:51:38Heel, heel, heel, heel, heel, heel.
00:52:03Coach, could you all hang back for a moment?
00:52:04My mom comes here every Sunday to pray for me.
00:52:06I don't want to overwhelm her with all these people.
00:52:08Okay, then, go ahead.
00:52:25If Malik made mistakes, then I failed him as his mother.
00:52:31It's my fault. All of it.
00:52:38Sheep! Sheep! Sheep! Sheep! Sheep!
00:52:59MOOOOM!
00:53:01Who dared to hurt my MOOOOM?!
00:53:39Malik! Malik! You got it! Draft Combine, special approval.
00:53:47I did it.
00:53:50Hey, where are you going?!
00:53:52Tell my mom!
00:54:03What are you doing?
00:54:05Denise, why isn't your arm healed yet? Did you ever see a doctor?
00:54:09It's fine. I'm used to it. I don't want to waste money on treatment.
00:54:13Malik needs it for his Combine.
00:54:15Well, that's not my problem, is it?
00:54:16Please, Ben. I'm fine. I won't slow the line down.
00:54:19You won't? You're moving at half speed. And this? What the fuck is this?
00:54:22This place isn't a charity. If you can't pull your weight like everyone else, you're out. We clear?
00:54:30Mom!
00:54:33Mom, great news. They officially let me into the NBA Draft Combine. It starts in two days.
00:54:38I'm gonna get signed, Mom. I'm gonna put Drywell on the mark.
00:54:42I never doubted it, Malik. Not since you were five years old shooting at a milk crane. Malik.
00:54:50Now, listen. How much for the travel?
00:54:54About 800 bucks. I managed to save it. I'll just skip the team hotel. I'll find a hostel or a
00:55:01couch. It's fine, Mom.
00:55:02No. You aren't sharing a room with strangers. You need real sleep if you're gonna play your best.
00:55:09Ma, stop. You're working three jobs. In your arm, I don't want my dream to cost you everything.
00:55:15We only need $200 more. Right? Your uncle, Victor, borrowed $200 last year to get Chase those limited-edition sneakers.
00:55:23I'll just get him to pay me back. Let's go find him.
00:55:29Victor?
00:55:30Denise, perfect timing. Chase is heading to the Combine. And as his aunt, the least you can do is pitch
00:55:36in $500 for his new iPhone.
00:55:37He needs to look the part.
00:55:39Vic, I... Come on, Denise!
00:55:41I'll be a win for the whole family! Don't start acting cheap now!
00:55:48Malik's leaving tonight, too, so I was hoping you could pay me back the $200 you borrowed for those shoes.
00:55:54Malik? He didn't even graduate high school. And you think a gutter rat like him's making the NBA? You're fucking
00:56:01delusional!
00:56:02Exactly. The kid hasn't even had a single day of professional training. Why waste money on the Combine when he'll
00:56:08never get drafted?
00:56:09How could you say that? You really think that's all I am? Fine. I'll prove you both wrong. Just watch.
00:56:14I'm gonna be the number one pick.
00:56:16The number one pick? You actually believe that crap? You're begging for $200 just to go get laughed off the
00:56:24court?
00:56:24You're shameless!
00:56:26Damn straight. Now pay up!
00:56:35What the hell is wrong with you guys? You could have hurt her!
00:56:38Please, Victor. That's for Malik's Combine trip. He needs it!
00:56:44When you borrow money, you pay it back. Who steals from the same people they're in debt to? That's way
00:56:52out of line!
00:56:53Watch your mouth, you piece of shit!
00:56:59Whatever. The money's ours now. Who cares what they think? Come on. Let's go by chase that new phone.
00:57:09Mom, I'll just not go to the Combine. I'll keep working. Save money to fix your hand.
00:57:14What did you just say?
00:57:25Mom, stop! Stop it! Look at me!
00:57:30Mom.
00:57:32Malik, this world only respects two kinds of people.
00:57:36Those born at the top. And those who fight their way up there.
00:57:40Basketball is your weapon, Malik. So use it! Fight with it!
00:57:44Whatever people say, however hard it gets, you hold on to it and never let it go.
00:57:48But Mom, what about your hand? What are you gonna do while I'm gone for three months?
00:57:53Forget my hand. Even if my whole body stops working, I'll make it to the day you come back.
00:58:03Malik!
00:58:09Malik, I've got some cash saved up from washing cars all these years. Take it. Use it for the Combine.
00:58:17Logan, I thought that was for your wedding.
00:58:19Nah, it's alright, man. We can always postpone it. Linda's gonna roll her eyes at me, but she'll understand.
00:58:25I've been saving my tips from waiting tables.
00:58:27But Andre, what about your tuition? Aren't you playing for Boise State next year?
00:58:33Man, my grades suck. And you've got way more game than I do. I'll stay here in Drywall. Just go
00:58:38get that number one pick for us. Alright?
00:58:46Here's my share, Malik.
00:58:47Coach, where'd you even get this much? Wait, did you stall your pickup truck?
00:58:52That old truck's been with me for 20 years. Carried me through every chapter of my life.
00:58:57And now it's gonna carry you one step closer to your dream.
00:59:00Your mom's right. You gotta go to the Combine. You gotta show those scouts what you got. We all believe
00:59:06in you, Malik.
00:59:10Thank you all so much.
00:59:12Thanks, guys. I'm getting that number one to pick.
00:59:16You should get going.
00:59:19Go make us proud, Malik. I'll be here every Sunday, praying for you.
00:59:26Malik!
00:59:29Show them how we do it in Drywall!
00:59:32Go get them, Malik! We're rooting for you!
01:00:01Oh, my God! Who is that?
01:00:06That kid's footwork. His hang time, his explosiveness. That's exactly the kind of player we need.
01:00:25How have I not heard anything about this kid? Who is that kid? Why isn't he on the list?
01:00:30Did some other team bribe you just to hide him from me?
01:00:33No, Mrs. Barnes. He's just some high school dropout.
01:00:38A high school dropout?
01:00:45It's almost like he's flying.
01:01:04Find out who he is. Now.
01:01:09Thank you for your patience, Malik. All final evaluations here are closed and confidential.
01:01:14Now that everything's official, congratulations.
01:01:18Welcome to the Lakers. I'm Madeline Barnes. I'm offering you a rookie contract worth 20 millions a year. How does
01:01:23that sound?
01:01:2520 million for a rookie? That's the highest rookie contract in league history.
01:01:32But this is real, right?
01:01:36Of course it is.
01:01:40I've read your full scouting report, Malik.
01:01:42You're not just a generational talent.
01:01:44You're kind, brave, a real character guy.
01:01:48And with that face?
01:01:50Heck, your jerseys are going to sell out in minutes.
01:01:52And rest assured, your contract incentives will reflect that.
01:01:57What are you waiting for? Sign with us, Malik.
01:02:00You know, you're not just this year's number one pick.
01:02:06You're number one in my heart, too.
01:02:18If you've got any other conditions, just name them.
01:02:22Since the whole Lakers team might end up yours with the way things are going.
01:02:27Mrs. Barnes, I want to build an indoor basketball court in my hometown.
01:02:30Back in Drywell, my teammates and I only have a dirt lot by the road to play on.
01:02:34The guys there are full of talent, but since we don't have the resources, they've never had a fair shot.
01:02:42See? The guy's got a heart of gold.
01:02:44Of course, that won't be a problem.
01:02:46Lila, you'll take the lead on the construction of the court.
01:02:48And please, none of this Mrs. Barnes crap.
01:02:51Call me Madeline.
01:02:59Thank you, Madeline.
01:03:01But before I report to the team, is it okay if I take a trip home first?
01:03:05I want to tell my mom the good news in person and thank everyone who supported me.
01:03:08Absolutely. You can fly there in my private jet.
01:03:11Only the best for our new star player.
01:03:14Thank you all. I'll be off then. See you later.
01:03:16Mom, we haven't officially drafted him yet.
01:03:18What if another team tries to punch him while he's gone?
01:03:22You're right. I'll have our G-lead coach pick him up and stay by his side the whole time.
01:03:26Oh, and call the construction crew and make sure they start work on that court pronto.
01:03:30Alright. If anyone even tries to take Malik from us, I'll tear them apart myself.
01:03:40Miss Barnes, thank you for choosing my company for project.
01:03:43I assure you, we'll build you a professional-grade, state-of-the-art gym.
01:03:48Hold on.
01:03:49You picked my company because I know the guy the gym's being built for?
01:03:59No way. Could it really be?
01:04:07Thanks, Madeline.

01:04:53Ugh. I knew I smelled something cheap.
01:04:57Looks like the poorest woman in town made it after all.
01:05:02Ugh. I knew I smelled something cheap.
01:05:06Looks like the poorest woman in town made it after all.
01:05:09Isn't that Chase Holloway? I heard the Lakers G League team signed him after the combine, and now they're donating

01:10:41Mom!
01:10:45Who dared to hurt my mom?
01:10:53Who dared to hurt my mom?
01:10:58She has to be in a while
01:10:59Who dared to hurt I?
01:11:22I was like a punched
01:11:22Who has shown her?
01:11:23You could have shown her
01:11:24Malik! Malik! You got it! Draft Combine. Special approval.
01:11:31I did it.
01:11:34Hey, where are you going? Tell my mom!
01:11:47What are you doing?
01:11:49Denise, why isn't your arm healed yet? Did you ever see a doctor?
01:11:53It's fine. I'm used to it. I don't want to waste money on treatment. Malik needs it for his Combine.
01:11:59Well, that's not my problem, is it?
01:12:00Please, Ben. I'm fine. I won't slow the line down.
01:12:03You won't? You're moving at half speed. And this? What the fuck is this?
01:12:06This place isn't a charity. If you can't pull your weight like everyone else, you're out. We clear?
01:12:14Mom!
01:12:17Mom, great news. They officially let me into the NBA Draft Combine. It starts in two days.
01:12:22Please. I'm going to get signed, Mom. I'm going to put Drywell on the mark.
01:12:26I never doubted it, Malik. Not since you were five years old shooting at a milk crate.
01:12:32Malik.
01:12:34Now, listen. How much for the travel?
01:12:38About 800 bucks. I managed to save for it. I'll just skip the team hotel. I'll find a hostel or
01:12:45a couch. It's fine, Mom.
01:12:46No. You aren't sharing a room with strangers. You need real sleep if you're going to play your best.
01:12:53Ma, stop. You're working three jobs. And your arm, I don't want my dream to cost you everything.
01:12:59We only need $200 more. Right? Your uncle, Victor, borrowed $200 last year to get Chase those limited edition sneakers.
01:13:07I'll just get him to pay me back. Let's go find him.
01:13:13Victor?
01:13:14Denise, perfect timing. Chase is heading to the Combine.
01:13:18And as his aunt, the least you can do is pitch in $500 for his new iPhone. He needs to
01:13:22look the part.
01:13:23Vic, I...
01:13:24Come on, Denise!
01:13:25I'll be a win for the whole family! Don't start acting cheap now!
01:13:32Malik's leaving tonight, too, so I was hoping you could pay me back the $200 you borrowed for those shoes.
01:13:38Malik? He didn't even graduate high school. And you think a gutter rat like him's making the NBA? You're fucking
01:13:45delusional!
01:13:46Exactly. The kid hasn't even had a single day of professional training. Why waste money on the Combine when he'll
01:13:52never get drafted?
01:13:53How could you say that? You really think that's all I am? Fine. I'll prove you both wrong. Just watch.
01:13:58I'm going to be the number one pick.
01:14:01The number one pick? You actually believe that crap? You're begging for $200 just to go get laughed off the
01:14:08court?
01:14:08You're shameless!
01:14:10Damn straight. Now pay up!
01:14:19What the hell is wrong with you guys? You could have hurt her!
01:14:22Please, Victor. That's for Malik's Combine trip. He needs it!
01:14:28When you borrow money, you pay it back.
01:14:30Who steals from the same people they're in debt to? That's way out of line.
01:14:37Watch your mouth, you piece of shit!
01:14:43Whatever. The money's ours now. Who cares what they think?
01:14:47Come on. Let's go by Chase that new phone.
01:14:53Mom, I'll just not go to the Combine. I'll keep working. Save money to fix your hand.
01:14:58What did you just say?
01:15:09Mom, stop! Stop! Stop it! Look at me!
01:15:14Mom.
01:15:16Malik, this world only respects two kinds of people.
01:15:20Those born at the top.
01:15:21And those who fight their way up there.
01:15:24Basketball is your weapon, Malik.
01:15:25So use it. Fight with it.
01:15:28Whatever people say, however hard it gets, you hold on to it and never let it go.
01:15:32But Mom, what about your hand?
01:15:35What are you going to do while I'm gone for three months?
01:15:37Forget my hand.
01:15:39Even if my whole body stops working, I'll make it to the day you come back.
01:15:47Malik!
01:15:54Malik, I've got some cash saved up from washing cars all these years.
01:15:57Take it. Use it for the Combine.
01:16:01Logan, I thought that was for your wedding.
01:16:03Nah, it's alright, man. We can always postpone it.
01:16:06Linda's gonna roll her eyes at me, but she'll understand.
01:16:09I've been saving my tips from waiting tables.
01:16:12But Andre, what about your tuition?
01:16:14Aren't you playing for Boise State next year?
01:16:17Man, my grades suck.
01:16:19And you've got way more game than I do.
01:16:20I'll stay here in drywall.
01:16:21Just go get that number one pick for us, alright?
01:16:30Here's my share, Malik.
01:16:31Coach, where'd you even get this much?
01:16:33Wait, did you sell your pickup truck?
01:16:37That old truck's been with me for 20 years.
01:16:39Carried me through every chapter of my life.
01:16:42And now it's gonna carry you one step closer to your dream.
01:16:44Your mom's right.
01:16:45You gotta go to the Combine.
01:16:47You gotta show those scouts what you got.
01:16:49We all believe in you, Malik.
01:16:55Thank you all so much.
01:16:56Thanks, guys.
01:16:57I'm getting that number one to pick.
01:17:00You should get going.
01:17:03Go make us proud, Malik.
01:17:04I'll be here every Sunday praying for you.
01:17:11Malik!
01:17:13Show them how we do it in drywall.
01:17:16Go get them, Malik.
01:17:17We're rooting for you.
01:17:34Oh, my God.
01:17:36Oh, my God.
01:17:36Oh, my God.
01:17:48Who is that?
01:17:50That kid's footwork.
01:17:52His hang time, his explosiveness.
01:17:55That's exactly the kind of player we need.
01:18:09How have I not heard anything about this kid?
01:18:11Who is that kid?
01:18:12Why isn't he on the list?
01:18:14Did some other team bribe you just to hide him from me?
01:18:17No, Mrs. Barnes.
01:18:19He's just some high school dropout.
01:18:22A high school dropout?
01:18:29It's almost like he's flying.
01:18:42It's almost like he's flying.
01:18:48Find out who he is.
01:18:50Now.
01:18:53Thank you for your patience, Malik.
01:18:55All final evaluations here are closed and confidential.
01:18:58Now that everything's official, congratulations.
01:19:02Welcome to the Lakers.
01:19:03I'm Madeline Barnes.
01:19:05I'm offering you a rookie contract worth 20 millions a year.
01:19:07How does that sound?
01:19:0920 million for a rookie?
01:19:10That's the highest rookie contract in league history.
01:19:16But this is real, right?
01:19:20Of course it is.
01:19:24I've read your full scouting report, Malik.
01:19:26You're not just a generational talent.
01:19:28You're kind, brave, a real character guy.
01:19:32And with that face, heck, your jerseys are going to sell out in minutes.
01:19:37And rest assured, your contract incentives will reflect that.
01:19:41What are you waiting for?
01:19:42Sign with us, Malik.
01:19:44You know, you're not just this year's number one pick.
01:19:50You're number one in my heart, too.
01:20:03If you've got any other conditions, just name them.
01:20:06Since the whole Lakers team might end up yours with the way things are going.
01:20:11Mrs. Barnes, I want to build an indoor basketball court in my hometown.
01:20:14Back in Drywell, my teammates and I only have a dirt lot by the road to play on.
01:20:19The guys there are full of talent, but since we don't have the resources, they've never had a fair shot.
01:20:26See? The guy's got a heart of gold.
01:20:28Of course, that won't be a problem.
01:20:30Lila, you'll take the lead on the construction of the court.
01:20:32And please, none of this Mrs. Barnes crap.
01:20:35Call me Madeline.
01:20:37Yeah!
01:20:39Yeah!
01:20:43Thank you, Madeline.
01:20:45But before I report to the team, is it okay if I've taken a trip home first?
01:20:49I want to tell my mom the good news in person and thank everyone who supported me.
01:20:52Absolutely.
01:20:53You can fly there in my private jet.
01:20:55Only the best for our new star player.
01:20:58Thank you all.
01:20:58I'll be off then.
01:20:59See you later.
01:21:00Mom, we haven't officially drafted him yet.
01:21:03What if another team tries to catch him while he's gone?
01:21:06You're right.
01:21:07I'll have our G-lead coach pick him up and stay by his side the whole time.
01:21:10Oh, and call the construction crew and make sure they start work on that court pronto.
01:21:14All right.
01:21:15If anyone even tries to take Malik from us, I'll tear them apart myself.
01:21:25Mrs. Barnes, thank you for choosing my company for project.
01:21:28I assure you, we'll build you a professional-grade, state-of-the-art gym.
01:21:32Hold on.
01:21:33You picked my company because I know the guy the gym's being built for?
01:21:43No way.
01:21:44Could it really be?
01:21:51Thanks, Madeline.
01:21:53Oh, and one more thing.
01:21:54Can we donate a new pair of basketball shoes to every family in my hometown?
01:21:57We'll tell them it's a gift from the Lakers' team owner.
01:22:00Absolutely.
01:22:01Oh, my people are going to love that.
01:22:04I'll get started on it right now.
01:22:11That's her.
01:22:12Her son went to the city to play basketball, but he ended up getting arrested for male prostitution.
01:22:18Heard he was selling his body to old ladies.
01:22:22God, what a fuck-up.
01:22:24His mom did everything she could to set him up for success, and he still got sent to the slammer.
01:22:37Oh, I knew I smelled something cheap.
01:22:41Looks like the poorest woman in town made it after all.
01:22:46Ugh, I knew I smelled something cheap.
01:22:50Looks like the poorest woman in town made it after all.
01:22:53Isn't that Chase Holloway?
01:22:55I heard the Lakers' G League team signed him after the combine, and now they're donating
01:23:00a gym to our town.
01:23:02Naturally, they picked Chase's dad's company to build it.
01:23:07Wow, this Chase kid's got a bright future.
01:23:09Who knows?
01:23:10Maybe he'll be playing for the Lakers soon.
01:23:25Hi, Malik.
01:23:25I'm Eric Coleman, head coach of the Lakers' G League team.
01:23:29Coach Coleman, it's an honor.
01:23:30Thank you so much for picking me up.
01:23:31It's the least I could do.
01:23:33If you're putting dry well on the map, kid, the folks here should be proud of you.
01:23:37Hey, I'm just a guy who loves to hoop.
01:23:40It's about an hour's drive into town.
01:23:42Ready to hit the road?
01:23:49All right, everyone.
01:23:50I've got some great news.
01:23:52Thanks to the generosity of Lakers owner Madeline Barnes, all of you will be getting a new pair
01:23:57of shoes today.
01:23:58And that's not all.
01:24:00She's also putting $3 million into building us a real basketball gym.
01:24:04Imagine that.
01:24:05Our kid's playing on a sparkling professional court.
01:24:08And plus, this gym will employ more than half of residents in dry well in desperate need
01:24:13of work.
01:24:14Mrs. Barnes has truly blessed us all.
01:24:17Now, let's get to the shoes.
01:24:20Every household gets a pair.
01:24:21I'll read out the names, so come up when you're called.
01:24:23Ethan Alberston, Morgan Belmont, Chad Samperson, Jalen Tate, Connor Westbrook, Marcus Young.
01:24:35And that's it.
01:24:41Father, I didn't hear Malik's name.
01:24:44Father, she and her son are a disgrace to all of dry well.
01:24:48People like them deserve to be shamed, not rewarded.
01:24:51Father.
01:24:52Father, in the name of the Lord, I beg you, help me.
01:24:58Malik sold his body to old ladies for a quick buck.
01:25:03The prostitution of any form is both illegal and immoral, and is unworthy of the Lord's
01:25:08blessings, let alone a pair of sneakers.
01:25:11Everyone knows he got locked for doing sax work for old hags.
01:25:16That's right.
01:25:17Meanwhile, Chase here got signed by the Lakers' G League squad.
01:25:20He's the whole reason they're building the gym and giving us these shoes.
01:25:23He's Drywell's real hometown hero.
01:25:26Malik's lucky.
01:25:27He doesn't deserve a cousin like him.
01:25:29Damn.
01:25:30Didn't think Malik would stoop that low.
01:25:32My brother gave Malik money when he left.
01:25:34All for him to end up behind bars.
01:25:37Malik's my son.
01:25:38I know him better than anyone, and he's not who you're saying he is.
01:25:42Everyone who went to the Combine stayed a week, ten days at most.
01:25:46Malik's been gone for over a month.
01:25:48What's he still doing there if not rotting away in some jail cell?
01:25:51Your son breaks the law and disgraces this town, and you've still got the nerve to come
01:25:56ask for a free pair of shoes?
01:25:57What if Mrs. Barnes finds out our town produced a delinquent like Malik and pulls the plug on
01:26:02the gym project?
01:26:04Who's going to take the blame then, huh?
01:26:06I just want to get Malik a pair of shoes.
01:26:08He grew up here just like every other kid, and he's always had a good heart.
01:26:13Sure, we might not be the richest family around, but that doesn't make my son a failure or a
01:26:18criminal.
01:26:19Shut your mouth!
01:26:20Defending that vile boy in front of God like this?
01:26:23Truly shameless!
01:26:25I'll throw those shoes in the trash before I give them to your son!
01:26:31You want the shoes?
01:26:32Fine.
01:26:37Then crawl over here and clean them.
01:26:45Chase, I'm your aunt.
01:26:47Don't pull the ant card.
01:26:49My son plays for the Lakers now.
01:26:51The freaking Lakers donated these shoes because of him.
01:26:54If you want something from our family, you're going to have to beg for it.
01:26:58Well, you want these shoes or not, kneel and shine them clean!
01:27:02Kneel!
01:27:03Kneel!
01:27:04L-L!

01:27:30Kneel!
01:27:31Kneel!
01:27:31Coach, could you all hang back for a moment?
01:27:32My mom comes here every Sunday to pray for me.
01:27:34I don't want to overwhelm her with all these people.
01:27:36Okay, then.
01:27:37Go ahead.
01:27:44Kneel!
01:27:45Kneel!
01:27:46Kneel!

01:27:53Kneel!
01:27:53Kneel!
01:27:54If Malik made mistakes, then I failed him as his whether.
01:27:59It's my fault.
01:28:01All of it.
01:28:07Shame!
01:28:08Shame!
01:28:10Jump!
