WEBVTT

00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:39.502
*! Oh, *.

00:00:41.504 --> 00:00:43.548
- Cap?
- Come on!

00:00:46.551 --> 00:00:48.761
- Easy. Jack, hurry it up.

00:00:48.845 --> 00:00:50.472
Fourth quarter of
this rubber game five,

00:00:50.555 --> 00:00:52.348
and the Lakers, who were
looking spectacular

00:00:52.432 --> 00:00:54.184
on the strength of
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's

00:00:54.309 --> 00:00:55.810
stellar performance,
are now shell-shocked

00:00:55.894 --> 00:00:57.520
and, friends,
they're playing like it.

00:00:57.604 --> 00:00:59.731
The 76ers staging
a furious comeback here

00:00:59.814 --> 00:01:01.774
since Kareem went down at
the end of the third quarter,

00:01:01.858 --> 00:01:03.818
taking their first
lead of the second half.

00:01:05.945 --> 00:01:07.489
They're controlling the pace,
they're killing us inside.

00:01:07.572 --> 00:01:08.990
Come on. Let's go.
Let's go. I'm fine.

00:01:09.073 --> 00:01:10.116
Tape it up!
I'll play! Let's go!

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.243
Leave him alone!

00:01:12.368 --> 00:01:14.370
- Tape it up!
- Don't you
touch that tape!

00:01:14.454 --> 00:01:16.414
No, she's right.
We need to get him
across the street

00:01:16.498 --> 00:01:18.708
- for an X-ray right now.
- Give him
a shot or something.

00:01:18.791 --> 00:01:21.169
- He's carrying us out there.
- Pat,

00:01:21.252 --> 00:01:23.755
if that ankle is broken
and he plays on it,

00:01:23.838 --> 00:01:25.215
it's gonna end his career.

00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:28.343
Hey, could we have
a minute here, please?

00:01:28.426 --> 00:01:31.429
We gotta do something.
- Get the * out! Get out!

00:01:33.515 --> 00:01:35.183
You are more connected
than you've ever been,

00:01:35.308 --> 00:01:38.394
and that is
a beautiful thing.

00:01:38.478 --> 00:01:40.355
But you don't have to run
your body to the ground

00:01:40.438 --> 00:01:41.564
just for a game.

00:01:41.648 --> 00:01:43.650
Hey. It's only basketball.

00:01:46.236 --> 00:01:47.737
Not this time.

00:01:48.863 --> 00:01:51.032
- I want this.
- Say it louder.

00:01:53.076 --> 00:01:55.245
I want it!

00:01:55.370 --> 00:01:57.205
Six minutes to go
in the fourth quarter.

00:01:57.330 --> 00:01:59.123
Lakers down by 11,
and Kareem

00:01:59.207 --> 00:02:01.376
is back on the court,
playing with ferocity.

00:02:02.752 --> 00:02:04.629
Let's go, Lakers!

00:02:04.712 --> 00:02:06.506
It's good! And what
a great sign that is

00:02:06.673 --> 00:02:09.092
for the Lakers.
Cheeks out ahead,

00:02:09.175 --> 00:02:11.010
splits the defenders,
but Kareem is
running in on defense.

00:02:11.094 --> 00:02:13.179
And Kareem with the block!

00:02:13.263 --> 00:02:14.973
Taking it the other way.

00:02:15.056 --> 00:02:16.891
Kareem is in the post,
triple-teamed...

00:02:16.975 --> 00:02:19.018
Oh my! You're gonna
need a lot more Sixers

00:02:19.102 --> 00:02:20.937
to stop the big man tonight.

00:02:21.020 --> 00:02:23.398
- Slam dunk!
- Aah!

00:02:23.481 --> 00:02:25.441
- And just like that, the
Lakers are back in it, folks.
- Yes!

00:02:25.525 --> 00:02:27.277
And Kareem's ankle may be
hurting him but, oh Lord,

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.153
he is showing no
sign of it tonight.

00:02:29.237 --> 00:02:30.405
- Under a minute now,

00:02:30.405 --> 00:02:32.615
Sixers watching this one
slip-sliding away.

00:02:34.742 --> 00:02:37.537
- Lakers win! Lakers win!

00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:39.622
And now, they'll head
back to Philadelphia

00:02:39.747 --> 00:02:41.582
with a three-games-to-two lead.

00:02:41.666 --> 00:02:43.793
And they are just
one game away from glory.

00:02:43.876 --> 00:02:46.254
Folks, you are looking at
the children of destiny.

00:02:46.337 --> 00:02:48.047
And just when things
looked bleak,

00:02:48.131 --> 00:02:50.508
the captain returns
to save his team.

00:02:50.591 --> 00:02:52.468
Bring it here, baby,
bring it here!

00:02:52.552 --> 00:02:55.096
- You a monster, Cap!

00:02:55.179 --> 00:02:57.432
- One more!

00:02:57.515 --> 00:03:00.351
Earvin, I'm going
to need your help.

00:03:01.269 --> 00:03:02.812
Oh, shit.

00:03:02.895 --> 00:03:04.856
*, I'm really hurt.

00:03:04.939 --> 00:03:06.482
Yeah, I got you.

00:04:39.408 --> 00:04:41.077
The organization now saying

00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:42.453
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
is questionable

00:04:42.537 --> 00:04:44.080
for Game six in Philadelphia.

00:04:47.124 --> 00:04:49.502
Remember I was telling you
a while ago about swans?

00:04:52.171 --> 00:04:54.215
About how they do
all the hard work

00:04:54.298 --> 00:04:56.217
of paddling below the surface?

00:04:58.636 --> 00:05:01.889
Well, it's funny. There's
something else about them.

00:05:01.973 --> 00:05:07.061
The one and only time in
their entire lives they sing...

00:05:07.144 --> 00:05:09.272
is right before they die.

00:05:10.398 --> 00:05:12.566
Their swan song.

00:05:12.650 --> 00:05:15.152
It's true.
Up until then,

00:05:15.236 --> 00:05:18.447
it's nothing but ugly squawks
and honks, but then,

00:05:18.531 --> 00:05:20.783
right at the very end...

00:05:21.993 --> 00:05:23.828
they make something beautiful.

00:05:26.205 --> 00:05:28.165
- Music.

00:05:28.249 --> 00:05:30.835
Are you alright in there?
- Yeah.

00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:33.254
Oof! You look greener
than goose shit.

00:05:33.337 --> 00:05:34.714
Thanks, Frank.

00:05:34.797 --> 00:05:37.383
Good to see you, too.
Claire.

00:05:37.466 --> 00:05:39.468
I'm so sorry for your loss.

00:05:40.678 --> 00:05:42.096
What, you mean Kareem?

00:05:42.847 --> 00:05:44.682
Well, him, too.

00:05:44.765 --> 00:05:47.268
We're gonna close it out
in Philly tomorrow. Watch.

00:05:47.351 --> 00:05:50.479
Just please don't tell me
I'm about to lose my shirt.

00:05:50.563 --> 00:05:51.814
Or mine.

00:05:51.939 --> 00:05:53.566
Uh, not this time.

00:05:53.649 --> 00:05:55.693
Playoff revenues
exceeded our projections,

00:05:55.776 --> 00:05:58.195
and next-year
season ticket sales
are off the charts.

00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.156
Jackpot!

00:06:00.239 --> 00:06:02.241
Now, let's go pay those
bastards off and breathe.

00:06:02.324 --> 00:06:04.243
Great work, Claire.

00:06:04.326 --> 00:06:06.120
We just need a signature.

00:06:06.203 --> 00:06:07.663
Yep.

00:06:07.747 --> 00:06:09.623
Not yours.

00:06:09.707 --> 00:06:11.417
Your treasurer.

00:06:13.419 --> 00:06:15.046
Until you appoint someone new,

00:06:15.129 --> 00:06:17.131
we can't make anything
official with the bank.

00:06:19.300 --> 00:06:22.261
Got it. Understood, ahem.
Thank you, Claire.
I'm gonna...

00:06:23.804 --> 00:06:26.265
- get right on that.
- Of course. Thank you.

00:06:29.727 --> 00:06:31.228
So who you thinkin'?

00:06:33.981 --> 00:06:36.692
Hey, Jean Bean.
There you are. Get that door?

00:06:36.776 --> 00:06:39.445
Got something I wanna
pick your brain about.

00:06:39.528 --> 00:06:41.614
Spent all night at Grandma's.

00:06:41.697 --> 00:06:43.240
Sorting through her things.

00:06:43.324 --> 00:06:45.242
I really appreciate
you doing that.

00:06:45.326 --> 00:06:47.286
You're a good girl.

00:06:47.369 --> 00:06:49.705
You know, I was thinking...

00:06:49.789 --> 00:06:52.541
I don't need to go
to Philadelphia with you.

00:06:52.625 --> 00:06:55.336
I can just stay here in town
and get Grandma's things

00:06:55.419 --> 00:06:57.546
squared away before
you come back.

00:06:57.630 --> 00:07:00.174
Just so you don't
have to worry about it.

00:07:00.257 --> 00:07:02.009
I mean, it'd be a bummer
to miss the game, but--

00:07:02.092 --> 00:07:03.135
Would you do that?

00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:06.806
I could not
do that right now.

00:07:06.889 --> 00:07:09.183
Sure. Yeah, of course.

00:07:09.266 --> 00:07:12.269
- I mean, probably be game seven.

00:07:12.353 --> 00:07:15.648
Well, not if we're lucky.

00:07:15.731 --> 00:07:17.441
I tell you, Jeanie,
it was so nice

00:07:17.525 --> 00:07:19.485
seeing you with your brothers
at the funeral.

00:07:21.529 --> 00:07:24.532
Just having the whole family
together like that was...

00:07:31.664 --> 00:07:33.374
Here's the thing.

00:07:36.043 --> 00:07:39.380
We have a seat that's
opened up at the company,

00:07:39.463 --> 00:07:42.091
and it was your grandma's seat.

00:07:42.174 --> 00:07:44.593
Treasurer, and...

00:07:48.264 --> 00:07:50.474
I need your help, Jeanie.

00:07:53.352 --> 00:07:55.729
Of course, Dad.

00:07:55.813 --> 00:07:58.566
I need you to take those
two brothers of yours

00:07:58.649 --> 00:08:00.776
around this office,

00:08:00.859 --> 00:08:02.861
and see how they spark to it.

00:08:03.904 --> 00:08:05.489
You know, and then tell me

00:08:05.573 --> 00:08:07.616
who you think would be
the better pick.

00:08:11.495 --> 00:08:14.248
'Cause, you know,
what's the point of
having a family business

00:08:14.331 --> 00:08:16.792
if we don't get some family
in here, you know?

00:08:18.502 --> 00:08:20.296
Yeah.

00:08:23.257 --> 00:08:24.800
Yeah, right.

00:08:32.850 --> 00:08:35.811
They just get so weird
around me and competitive...

00:08:38.230 --> 00:08:40.691
In a decision that should
delight fans across the nation,

00:08:40.774 --> 00:08:42.860
the NBA today has
selected Larry Bird

00:08:42.943 --> 00:08:45.279
of the Boston Celtics
Rookie of the Year,

00:08:45.362 --> 00:08:48.282
beating out the year's
other rookie sensation,
Magic Johnson,

00:08:48.365 --> 00:08:51.577
- who currently finds him--

00:08:51.660 --> 00:08:54.496
- Rule number one, *er.

00:08:54.580 --> 00:08:57.499
If you're thinking
you ain't up to it,
you ain't.

00:08:58.459 --> 00:09:01.337
Ooh... Big tube.

00:09:01.420 --> 00:09:03.881
Bet I look good on that.

00:09:03.964 --> 00:09:06.258
Won't be on there tomorrow.

00:09:06.342 --> 00:09:08.635
Be me up there,
winning me a ring.

00:09:08.719 --> 00:09:10.304
Don't matter none.

00:09:10.387 --> 00:09:11.930
Ain't against me,
nobody gives a shit.

00:09:12.014 --> 00:09:13.557
Says who?

00:09:13.640 --> 00:09:16.018
I'm in your head, ain't I?

00:09:18.354 --> 00:09:20.189
- I get your * next year.
- Nope.

00:09:20.272 --> 00:09:23.400
If you actually believed that,
I wouldn't be here.

00:09:23.484 --> 00:09:25.778
- Nice try, though.
- Man, * off.

00:09:25.861 --> 00:09:27.279
Make me.

00:09:27.363 --> 00:09:29.073
Except you can't, can you?

00:09:29.198 --> 00:09:30.365
'Cause I'm better than you.

00:09:31.575 --> 00:09:32.826
Better player.

00:09:32.910 --> 00:09:34.495
Better man.

00:09:34.578 --> 00:09:37.623
- I know that's right.
- Got that right.

00:09:37.706 --> 00:09:39.291
- You a *.
- At least I'm real.

00:09:39.374 --> 00:09:40.709
Mm-hmm.

00:09:42.002 --> 00:09:43.629
I ain't believing
none of this shit!

00:09:43.837 --> 00:09:45.672
I'ma go out there and win
me a ring! And you ain't!

00:09:45.798 --> 00:09:48.425
None of y'all gonna
be nowhere close!

00:09:53.055 --> 00:09:55.099
With Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
questionable

00:09:55.182 --> 00:09:57.101
for game six in Philadelphia,

00:09:57.184 --> 00:09:58.852
the rookie sensation
Magic Johnson may find...

00:09:58.936 --> 00:10:01.271
There's the *
we take out first.

00:10:01.355 --> 00:10:03.357
...considerably
under-manned...

00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.067
Put that shit down!

00:10:05.150 --> 00:10:07.569
And put on some
mother* pants!

00:10:07.653 --> 00:10:09.154
Ain't y'all junkies
been paying attention?

00:10:09.238 --> 00:10:11.406
The hit is on pause.

00:10:11.490 --> 00:10:13.325
Kareem is out for game six.

00:10:13.408 --> 00:10:15.244
That mean the Lakers gonna
need theyself a big man.

00:10:15.327 --> 00:10:18.080
I got my agent reaching out
to Westhead and them right now.

00:10:18.163 --> 00:10:19.706
So, clean this place up,

00:10:19.832 --> 00:10:20.958
and get your *es
the * outta here.

00:10:21.041 --> 00:10:22.292
I got to get my shit packed.

00:10:22.376 --> 00:10:23.836
You seen my snake?

00:10:25.921 --> 00:10:28.048
Here we go! Here we go!
That's them.

00:10:28.131 --> 00:10:29.716
Turn that shit off.
Turn it off.

00:10:29.842 --> 00:10:31.510
...not to mention
minus Jabbar--

00:10:34.930 --> 00:10:36.682
- This is Spencer.
Hiya, Spence! Listen.

00:10:36.807 --> 00:10:38.350
I, uh, I got bad news.

00:10:38.433 --> 00:10:40.269
I talked to the Lakers,
and, uh...

00:10:40.352 --> 00:10:41.728
They're not interested.

00:10:41.854 --> 00:10:43.939
And you, and you
talked to him yourself?

00:10:44.022 --> 00:10:46.567
- Westhead?
- Yeah, it was him.
You know,

00:10:46.650 --> 00:10:49.820
he says-- he says you're not
the right fit right now.

00:10:49.903 --> 00:10:51.822
- I hear.
- But listen, I'm gonna
keep on pushing him,

00:10:51.905 --> 00:10:53.866
and, uh, you just sit
tight there, okay?

00:10:53.949 --> 00:10:55.492
We good.

00:10:56.994 --> 00:10:59.705
So, you-you back on
the team or what?

00:11:02.165 --> 00:11:04.209
The hit is on.

00:11:04.293 --> 00:11:06.003
We'll ice those *s
when they're back from Philly.

00:11:06.086 --> 00:11:07.462
Oh, hell yeah!

00:11:07.546 --> 00:11:09.214
You're here for
Paul Westhead, right?

00:11:09.298 --> 00:11:11.508
- Yes.
- Okay. That's me.

00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:14.970
- Go get 'em. Okay?
- I will.

00:11:16.263 --> 00:11:17.723
I'm proud of you!

00:11:17.806 --> 00:11:19.641
- I know you are.

00:11:19.725 --> 00:11:22.185
That makes one of us.

00:11:22.269 --> 00:11:24.146
Glad I caught you
before the big trip.

00:11:24.229 --> 00:11:25.564
Jack...

00:11:27.065 --> 00:11:29.610
What are-- what are
you doing here?

00:11:29.693 --> 00:11:31.862
I brought you something.

00:11:31.987 --> 00:11:33.905
Don't worry, it won't bite.

00:11:34.031 --> 00:11:36.450
My notes on Philly.

00:11:36.533 --> 00:11:39.620
I schemed for this.
A starting five without Kareem.

00:11:39.703 --> 00:11:41.288
In case it came up.

00:11:44.166 --> 00:11:45.667
Jack...

00:11:49.171 --> 00:11:51.298
I hate how all this happened.

00:11:53.050 --> 00:11:54.635
I mean, all of it.

00:11:54.718 --> 00:11:57.763
Look, I want you to know
I-I'm leaving next year,

00:11:57.846 --> 00:11:59.681
no matter what happens.

00:11:59.765 --> 00:12:02.267
Time for me to do
my own thing, right?

00:12:03.268 --> 00:12:04.645
This is your thing.

00:12:04.728 --> 00:12:06.730
You started this.

00:12:09.024 --> 00:12:10.650
Then finish it.

00:12:12.694 --> 00:12:15.072
Besides, I don't need you
out there competing with me

00:12:15.155 --> 00:12:17.324
for a coaching job.

00:12:17.407 --> 00:12:18.867
Got some place in mind?

00:12:18.950 --> 00:12:21.328
Wherever I can come back
and kick your *.

00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.582
- I can't wait.
- Good luck!

00:12:26.249 --> 00:12:28.210
Coach.

00:12:34.216 --> 00:12:36.385
Let's go.

00:12:36.468 --> 00:12:38.178
What's there even
to talk about?

00:12:38.261 --> 00:12:40.347
Without Kareem in the lineup,

00:12:40.430 --> 00:12:42.474
the Lakers are going to lose
this game in Philadelphia.

00:12:42.557 --> 00:12:45.811
- This series is going seven.
- Gone-zo! Bye-bye!

00:12:45.894 --> 00:12:47.604
The only question
in my mind is

00:12:47.687 --> 00:12:49.564
does Magic Johnson
have what it takes

00:12:49.648 --> 00:12:51.942
- to even make it a contest?
- Yes, yes!

00:12:52.067 --> 00:12:54.444
This is what I've been saying!
On the money.

00:12:54.528 --> 00:12:56.238
- There's no chance--

00:13:04.412 --> 00:13:06.206
- What's up, Cheryl?
- Hi.

00:13:06.289 --> 00:13:08.166
- Where the big fella?
- He wants to talk to you.

00:13:08.250 --> 00:13:10.585
Have your driver follow me
to the parking lot.

00:13:16.550 --> 00:13:21.221
- I'll keep the hounds away.
You two can have a chat.
- Aight.

00:13:21.304 --> 00:13:24.266
What's up, Cap?
Feeling like John Shaft,

00:13:24.349 --> 00:13:27.018
you all up in here like
a spooky movie people.

00:13:27.144 --> 00:13:28.812
Yeah, figured it
was best to lay low

00:13:28.895 --> 00:13:30.313
with all those
buzzards circling.

00:13:30.397 --> 00:13:31.565
You good to go then?

00:13:32.774 --> 00:13:34.526
I'm out, Buck.

00:13:38.405 --> 00:13:40.031
Well, you heal up then.

00:13:40.157 --> 00:13:42.409
- We still may be needing
you game seven--
- Buck.

00:13:42.993 --> 00:13:44.452
I'm out.

00:13:45.662 --> 00:13:47.164
And you're the only one
who knows.

00:13:48.123 --> 00:13:49.624
For now.

00:13:53.670 --> 00:13:54.921
Damn.

00:14:00.427 --> 00:14:02.012
Look, Buck...

00:14:03.305 --> 00:14:05.473
before this season,

00:14:05.557 --> 00:14:08.852
I thought I was done with ball.

00:14:08.935 --> 00:14:10.937
Biding my time,
cashing my paycheck.

00:14:12.939 --> 00:14:15.775
Then, this kid comes along.

00:14:15.859 --> 00:14:18.153
Smiley *.
Whitest teeth you ever saw.

00:14:18.236 --> 00:14:21.907
All grins and high-up fives,
and hugs.

00:14:23.909 --> 00:14:25.869
First time he gave me one,
made my nuts draw up

00:14:25.952 --> 00:14:28.496
- tighter than a cat
inside a mouse hole.

00:14:31.207 --> 00:14:33.043
Thought you was
gonna punch me out.

00:14:33.168 --> 00:14:34.669
I wanted to.

00:14:37.297 --> 00:14:38.882
Remember what you told me

00:14:38.965 --> 00:14:41.176
when I said
we still got 81 to go?

00:14:43.053 --> 00:14:45.805
You keep on winning games,
I'm gonna give you 81 more hugs.

00:14:56.066 --> 00:14:58.318
You owe me one more.

00:15:02.489 --> 00:15:04.866
Maybe we *ed up
cuttin' Haywood.

00:15:04.949 --> 00:15:07.410
Ask me, he put a mojo
on the team 'cause
we gave him the boot.

00:15:07.494 --> 00:15:08.536
* Wood, man.

00:15:08.620 --> 00:15:09.829
Had his head been on,

00:15:09.913 --> 00:15:10.955
he'd be there to back me up,

00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:12.123
instead of y'all *

00:15:12.207 --> 00:15:13.792
Shit, Wood's juju probably
comin' for me next.

00:15:13.875 --> 00:15:15.377
You the big man now, buddy.
Why don't you go ahead

00:15:15.460 --> 00:15:17.045
and sit down in
the big man's seat?

00:15:17.170 --> 00:15:18.630
Hell no. When Cap find out,

00:15:18.713 --> 00:15:20.757
most likely from
your snitchin' *,

00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:21.966
my * end up gettin'
karate-chopped
to *' death.

00:15:21.966 --> 00:15:23.718
The team seems
to be in good spirits.

00:15:23.802 --> 00:15:25.720
- Heard it was a dicey practice.
- Any truth to the rumors

00:15:25.804 --> 00:15:28.014
of bringing back Haywood for
the remainder of the series?

00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:29.641
Is Kareem gonna be able to
come back for game seven?

00:15:29.724 --> 00:15:31.768
- And what if he doesn't?
- Guys,

00:15:31.851 --> 00:15:33.353
we're gonna take this
one game at a time.

00:15:33.436 --> 00:15:36.147
Yeah. Who said
we need a game seven?

00:15:36.231 --> 00:15:38.358
- Have a drink, relax.

00:15:38.441 --> 00:15:40.568
- We'll talk after
the flight. Yep.
- How is Nixon's finger?

00:15:40.652 --> 00:15:42.904
- Love you guys. Love you.
- Thanks.

00:15:42.987 --> 00:15:44.406
...drinks service
will begin shortly.

00:15:44.489 --> 00:15:46.324
Well, I guess, uh,

00:15:46.408 --> 00:15:49.744
if we lose, at least we did
that on our own, huh?

00:15:49.828 --> 00:15:52.580
Won't give Jack any credit.

00:15:52.664 --> 00:15:55.792
- Ain't over yet.
- Aight, all you
peoples, listen up!

00:16:01.756 --> 00:16:04.634
- Someone take that thing
away from him.

00:16:07.971 --> 00:16:10.515
You sound like a dying bird.
Nigga, why you so happy?

00:16:10.598 --> 00:16:13.643
- Shit, is big man coming back?
- You lookin' at the big man
right here.

00:16:13.726 --> 00:16:15.645
- Hey, fellas.
- What?

00:16:15.728 --> 00:16:17.772
We closing out in Philly.

00:16:17.856 --> 00:16:19.482
- Me at center.
- Center?

00:16:19.566 --> 00:16:22.861
Listen, I played center
back in high school.

00:16:22.944 --> 00:16:25.572
Maybe I ain't as big as Jones
or Chocolate Thunder,

00:16:25.655 --> 00:16:27.198
but I ain't no pipsqueak.

00:16:27.282 --> 00:16:28.575
And can't neither one
of them keep up with me

00:16:28.658 --> 00:16:30.076
speed-wise neither.

00:16:30.201 --> 00:16:31.369
Ooh, I'll be spinnin'
in the post,

00:16:31.452 --> 00:16:33.371
drivin' and kickin' to Norm

00:16:33.454 --> 00:16:35.415
or Silk for the jay.

00:16:35.498 --> 00:16:36.833
- For real?
- Get the * outta here.

00:16:36.916 --> 00:16:38.835
Let them try
and match up with that.

00:16:38.918 --> 00:16:40.920
Yo, I ain't trying
to * up the party,

00:16:41.004 --> 00:16:43.381
but what six-nine guard
supposed to do against
two seven-footers?

00:16:43.464 --> 00:16:44.632
Exactly.

00:16:44.716 --> 00:16:46.593
Send they * home to mama.

00:16:49.429 --> 00:16:53.433
Come on, Coach! What you say?

00:16:53.516 --> 00:16:55.393
We don't have time
to practice it.

00:16:55.476 --> 00:16:58.062
They won't neither, Coach.

00:16:58.146 --> 00:17:00.315
They're gonna pound us
in the paint all night.

00:17:00.398 --> 00:17:02.901
Or we can, uh,
race 'em off the court.

00:17:02.984 --> 00:17:05.486
- No way.
- Look, I-I wish we had
a better option, too,

00:17:05.570 --> 00:17:07.197
- but if we go seven
and Kareem's not back--

00:17:07.280 --> 00:17:08.406
- "The gloomy shade of death."

00:17:10.491 --> 00:17:12.660
- That means we're *ed then.

00:17:18.166 --> 00:17:19.417
Okay.

00:17:19.500 --> 00:17:20.710
Okay?

00:17:20.793 --> 00:17:22.086
Okay.

00:17:22.170 --> 00:17:23.671
- Okay!

00:17:23.755 --> 00:17:26.591
Hey, hey, fellas.
I know 33 ain't with us,

00:17:27.717 --> 00:17:29.427
but you got 32.

00:17:29.510 --> 00:17:31.095
Now y'all have no fear.

00:17:31.179 --> 00:17:34.307
Magic mother*' Johnson
be here.

00:17:36.476 --> 00:17:38.770
- There's a time...

00:17:41.147 --> 00:17:43.149
When you find...

00:17:46.027 --> 00:17:47.987
Yeah, there you go!

00:17:54.118 --> 00:17:55.370
What's that?

00:17:57.914 --> 00:17:59.248
It's what Jack would do.

00:17:59.457 --> 00:18:01.542
Note

00:18:01.834 --> 00:18:04.545
Well, *.

00:18:18.393 --> 00:18:20.436
Specterum

00:18:24.357 --> 00:18:25.983
Right this way over here.

00:18:26.067 --> 00:18:29.862
Over here?
These seats blow.

00:18:29.946 --> 00:18:31.322
You know what?
This is a mind game.

00:18:31.406 --> 00:18:32.532
They're trying to
get under our skin.

00:18:32.615 --> 00:18:34.450
Just don't let 'em razzle you.

00:18:34.575 --> 00:18:36.369
- Go get yourself some beers.
- Thank you.

00:18:36.452 --> 00:18:38.079
You sure? I can pay.
- Dr. Buss!

00:18:38.162 --> 00:18:39.831
- Man of the moment!
- David. Oh yeah.

00:18:39.914 --> 00:18:43.292
Listen, I'm sorry
to hear about Kareem.

00:18:43.376 --> 00:18:45.294
It's alright.
I like proving
the doubters wrong.

00:18:46.587 --> 00:18:48.798
Commissioner not here yet or...

00:18:48.881 --> 00:18:50.550
- Uh, stuck in traffic.
- Ah.

00:18:50.633 --> 00:18:53.052
Tell the man the truth.

00:18:53.136 --> 00:18:55.138
You'll see him
in LA on Sunday,

00:18:55.221 --> 00:18:57.974
- giving that shiny trophy
to the Sixers.
- Red!

00:18:59.392 --> 00:19:01.227
I'm touched!
You showed up as a fan?

00:19:01.310 --> 00:19:03.312
I'm just here for my award.

00:19:03.396 --> 00:19:04.689
Exec of the Year.

00:19:04.772 --> 00:19:06.190
Bill here's Coach of the Year.

00:19:06.274 --> 00:19:08.818
Hell, with Bird,
we got the Triple Crown.

00:19:08.901 --> 00:19:10.987
Wow! Isn't that something?

00:19:11.070 --> 00:19:14.198
You guys have won everything
that doesn't count!

00:19:14.282 --> 00:19:15.783
For now.

00:19:15.867 --> 00:19:17.160
You boys enjoy your popcorn.

00:19:17.243 --> 00:19:19.829
Yeah. Enjoy your plaque!

00:19:19.912 --> 00:19:21.456
I'll see you, David.

00:19:21.581 --> 00:19:23.040
- Got you a beer, Dad.
- Thank you, Jim.

00:19:23.124 --> 00:19:24.959
And don't sweat him, alright?
He's jealous.

00:19:25.042 --> 00:19:26.669
He's a loser.
It's not even the right sport.

00:19:26.752 --> 00:19:29.839
- Triple Crown...
- Yeah. He's miserable.

00:19:29.922 --> 00:19:33.926
- Good to see you guys!
- Yeah, you, too.

00:19:34.010 --> 00:19:36.179
- You wanna sit in the middle?
- Nah, nah. This is good.

00:19:38.473 --> 00:19:40.600
Well, here we are.

00:19:40.683 --> 00:19:43.644
Game six of the 1980
NBA World Championship,

00:19:43.728 --> 00:19:46.647
moments away,
the formidable
Philadelphia 76ers--

00:19:46.731 --> 00:19:49.817
And lo! The Israelites

00:19:49.901 --> 00:19:52.612
have reached
the Promised Land.

00:19:52.695 --> 00:19:54.363
Behold that land

00:19:54.447 --> 00:19:56.741
with thine eyes.
But, Moses...

00:19:56.824 --> 00:19:59.327
Come on,
let's change the channel.
It's time.

00:20:00.828 --> 00:20:03.456
- I can't, babe.
- Yes, you can.

00:20:03.539 --> 00:20:06.125
You got them there.

00:20:06.209 --> 00:20:07.835
And they need your
vibes right now.

00:20:07.877 --> 00:20:10.671
...formidable Philadelphia 76ers

00:20:10.796 --> 00:20:13.841
versus the nimble
Los Angeles Lakers.

00:20:13.925 --> 00:20:15.801
Live from Spectrum Arena,
Philadelphia.

00:20:15.885 --> 00:20:18.137
Sparks are in the air
tonight for game six.

00:20:18.221 --> 00:20:20.848
The Lakers undermanned
but with a chance
to take it all tonight,

00:20:20.932 --> 00:20:22.516
and, folks, we now
know Coach Westhead

00:20:22.600 --> 00:20:24.393
has decided
to go small tonight.

00:20:24.477 --> 00:20:26.771
Without their big man,
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,

00:20:26.854 --> 00:20:29.023
Magic Johnson listed
as the starting center.

00:20:29.106 --> 00:20:31.317
He can't hope to match up
physically with the size

00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:33.110
and strength
of Darryl Dawkins
and Caldwell Jones.

00:20:35.529 --> 00:20:38.324
- Jerry.
- Oh shit. *, *, Bill!

00:20:38.407 --> 00:20:39.951
* runnin' up
on me like that for!

00:20:40.034 --> 00:20:41.327
Yeah.

00:20:43.663 --> 00:20:46.165
- Oh. Now, we're talkin'.
- Mm-hmm.

00:20:52.797 --> 00:20:55.716
They sound pretty worked up!

00:20:55.800 --> 00:20:58.469
- Just another game, right?
- Right.

00:20:58.552 --> 00:21:00.054
We got a plan, gentlemen.

00:21:00.137 --> 00:21:01.973
They may be bigger,
but we've got the speed.

00:21:02.056 --> 00:21:03.391
That means we're
pushing that ball

00:21:03.474 --> 00:21:05.017
every chance we get.

00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:29.500
This is our game.
We got here as a team.

00:21:29.583 --> 00:21:32.003
We're gonna finish as a team.
Team on three.

00:21:32.086 --> 00:21:34.171
- One, two, three! Team!
- Team!

00:21:34.296 --> 00:21:36.632
Here comes the tip...

00:21:38.134 --> 00:21:40.928
What you smiling for,
Young Blood?

00:21:41.011 --> 00:21:43.973
Just can't believe I'm about
to take a ring from Dr. J.

00:21:48.561 --> 00:21:50.229
What's up, fool?

00:21:50.354 --> 00:21:52.565
Hey, take it easy on me
in that paint!

00:21:54.024 --> 00:21:57.236
I got the tip.

00:21:57.361 --> 00:22:00.322
- What's he doing?
- Magic wants--
He wants the tip.

00:22:00.406 --> 00:22:02.324
Chones, let him in.

00:22:02.408 --> 00:22:03.868
Rook, what the *
you thinkin'?

00:22:03.951 --> 00:22:05.828
I be feelin', baby,
I be feelin'.

00:22:05.911 --> 00:22:07.538
And look at this.
Magic Johnson

00:22:07.621 --> 00:22:08.998
is stepping into
the center circle.

00:22:09.081 --> 00:22:11.167
The 20-year-old rookie

00:22:11.250 --> 00:22:13.002
is not just hoping to fill
the captain's shoes, Keith.

00:22:13.085 --> 00:22:14.754
He's actually gonna
jump center for it.

00:22:14.837 --> 00:22:16.589
*'s he doing?
What the * is he doing?!

00:22:16.672 --> 00:22:18.466
No! J-Jones has got
five *' inches on him!

00:22:18.549 --> 00:22:20.801
Our kid's got bigger *.

00:22:20.885 --> 00:22:24.013
I can't *' watch this!
I can't. I can't. I can't.

00:22:24.096 --> 00:22:25.723
*' walk,
just *' take a hike.

00:22:25.806 --> 00:22:28.350
- Hey, hey, hey!

00:22:32.062 --> 00:22:34.356
Well, here we are.

00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:36.984
Game six of the 1980
NBA World...

00:22:37.067 --> 00:22:39.069
Can't nothing jump
like a monkey.

00:22:39.153 --> 00:22:41.197
You'll wipe that
smile off next year.

00:22:41.280 --> 00:22:43.699
Shut the * up.

00:22:43.782 --> 00:22:46.452
- The ball
is in center court...

00:22:46.535 --> 00:22:47.703
He's there.

00:22:48.913 --> 00:22:50.456
I ain't.

00:22:53.083 --> 00:22:54.627
Alright...

00:22:57.087 --> 00:22:59.840
Hey, what's he
like in person?

00:22:59.924 --> 00:23:02.176
- Earleatha, right?
- Mm-hmm.

00:23:02.259 --> 00:23:04.220
- Yeah, I heard you went to MSU.

00:23:04.303 --> 00:23:06.263
I mean, you must
know Magic, right?

00:23:09.975 --> 00:23:12.228
No. Can't say I do.

00:23:12.311 --> 00:23:15.064
All I'm sayin',
the boy ain't hard enough
to play the center!

00:23:15.147 --> 00:23:17.149
- Simple as that!
- But he played center
in high school.

00:23:17.233 --> 00:23:18.651
Tell you right now,
you wouldn't know hard

00:23:18.734 --> 00:23:20.569
if you the only *

00:23:20.653 --> 00:23:22.029
in a hotel room full of *!

00:23:22.112 --> 00:23:24.573
Man, we in for a treat, y'all!

00:23:24.657 --> 00:23:26.325
Game's starting!

00:23:26.450 --> 00:23:27.701
Do not adjust your TV.

00:23:27.785 --> 00:23:29.620
This is actually happening.

00:23:29.703 --> 00:23:31.956
- Junior's stepping up.
- Doing too much,

00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:33.874
- that's what he's doing.
- What the heck
do you know?

00:23:33.958 --> 00:23:35.918
Watch your mouth, Earl,

00:23:36.001 --> 00:23:38.254
or else you're gonna have to
watch your * at halftime.

00:23:38.337 --> 00:23:39.838
- Ooh!
- Tell him, Mama!

00:23:39.922 --> 00:23:41.173
You heard the woman.
Now, look!

00:23:41.257 --> 00:23:42.716
Settle down.

00:23:47.137 --> 00:23:48.555
Let's go, Magic!
Let's go!

00:23:57.731 --> 00:23:59.566
Jones wins the tip.

00:23:59.650 --> 00:24:01.986
Dawkins secures it.
Tapped away by Magic.

00:24:02.069 --> 00:24:03.988
Jim Chones back to Magic
on the break.

00:24:04.071 --> 00:24:05.823
Long p* down the court.

00:24:05.906 --> 00:24:07.908
Hits Wilkes in stride,
lays it up and in.

00:24:07.992 --> 00:24:10.244
And just like that,
these Lakers take the lead.

00:24:12.538 --> 00:24:14.498
...back the other way.

00:24:14.581 --> 00:24:17.042
Long baseball pass to Hollins
for the open jumper.

00:24:17.126 --> 00:24:18.961
And flat. It's no good.

00:24:19.044 --> 00:24:21.171
Nixon with the rebound.

00:24:21.255 --> 00:24:23.173
Quick pass around the horn.

00:24:23.257 --> 00:24:26.093
Magic on the block,
pounding with the big man.

00:24:26.176 --> 00:24:28.387
Floats up a skyhook,
and it's good!

00:24:28.470 --> 00:24:30.848
That's my skyhook!
I taught him that!

00:24:30.973 --> 00:24:32.808
Move over, Houdini.

00:24:32.891 --> 00:24:35.978
I see you, Buck!
I taught him that! Let's go!

00:24:36.061 --> 00:24:38.272
Oh, man.

00:24:38.355 --> 00:24:40.733
The doctor makes his move.

00:24:40.816 --> 00:24:42.651
Oh, that's no good.
And Chones with the rebound
to Norm.

00:24:42.735 --> 00:24:44.611
- Let's go!
- Back to Magic,

00:24:44.695 --> 00:24:47.573
with a snazzy dribble!
Hits Wilkes...

00:24:47.656 --> 00:24:49.324
Slam dunk!

00:24:49.408 --> 00:24:51.535
Lakers out to
an eight-point lead.

00:24:51.618 --> 00:24:54.121
Cheeks to Erving
for the jumper.

00:24:54.204 --> 00:24:56.707
Good!
Johnson answers quickly

00:24:56.790 --> 00:24:58.459
with an offhand
layup of his own.

00:24:58.542 --> 00:25:00.502
And, friends, this Philly crowd
is getting restless.

00:25:00.586 --> 00:25:02.254
They're itching
in their seats.

00:25:02.337 --> 00:25:04.590
And that's the Doctor
with the cure.

00:25:04.673 --> 00:25:06.341
And here comes
the slug-fest.

00:25:10.763 --> 00:25:13.974
I think I, uh, might go
check on the commissioner.

00:25:14.975 --> 00:25:17.019
Jay? Call New York,

00:25:17.102 --> 00:25:18.896
get O'Brien on a helicopter.

00:25:18.979 --> 00:25:20.439
And make sure
they've got a stage

00:25:20.522 --> 00:25:21.899
in case we're giving
out a trophy.

00:25:21.982 --> 00:25:23.484
Uh, is-is there a trophy?

00:25:23.567 --> 00:25:25.694
I need a quarter.
You got a quarter?

00:25:25.778 --> 00:25:27.321
Erving under the backboard
at the baseline.

00:25:27.446 --> 00:25:29.990
- Shit.
- Unbelievable!

00:25:30.073 --> 00:25:33.243
And a scintillating
start for the Lakers
in that first quarter,

00:25:33.327 --> 00:25:34.661
but the Sixers
are hanging tough.

00:25:35.579 --> 00:25:36.872
This is gonna be
a doozy of a contest,
friends.

00:25:45.380 --> 00:25:47.132
Just *' take it.

00:25:47.216 --> 00:25:49.760
* walk in there.
Keep * walking...

00:25:53.764 --> 00:25:54.765
*...

00:26:01.146 --> 00:26:03.565
This just...
*' *s.

00:26:04.900 --> 00:26:06.527
*.

00:26:10.822 --> 00:26:12.783
- What is it? What happened?
What happened?
- Philly tied it up.

00:26:12.866 --> 00:26:15.035
No! *!
God-*'-dammit!

00:26:15.118 --> 00:26:18.038
I knew it! *, I knew it!

00:26:18.121 --> 00:26:20.791
Goddammit!

00:26:20.874 --> 00:26:22.709
Under a minute to go here
in the half. A dead heat.

00:26:22.793 --> 00:26:25.087
Lakers 60, Sixers 58.

00:26:25.170 --> 00:26:29.174
Collins out ahead of
the Lakers with a clear
path at the basket.

00:26:29.258 --> 00:26:32.344
And just like that,
the teams stay knotted up.

00:26:32.427 --> 00:26:35.138
You get to sit down!
And you *! And you *!

00:26:35.222 --> 00:26:36.807
- Come here! Come on!
- I'll * you up!

00:26:36.890 --> 00:26:39.101
Sit down. Sit down.
Sit down. Sit down.

00:26:44.856 --> 00:26:47.067
Norm from the corner.
No good.

00:26:47.150 --> 00:26:48.652
And it looks right now
like these Lakers

00:26:48.735 --> 00:26:50.279
have come back
down to earth.

00:26:50.362 --> 00:26:52.322
The crowd
is right back in it.

00:26:52.406 --> 00:26:54.574
Last seconds of the quarter,
Magic with the steal.

00:26:54.658 --> 00:26:56.827
- Magic from the half-court
at the buzzer.

00:26:56.910 --> 00:26:58.912
In and out!
And that may be

00:26:58.996 --> 00:27:00.831
the only place he's missed
the mark tonight.

00:27:00.914 --> 00:27:03.375
But the lead he has built
has slipped away.

00:27:03.458 --> 00:27:05.961
And you can feel
a frustration creeping in
for these Lakers.

00:27:06.044 --> 00:27:07.796
...right out the gate, but the
Sixers absorb the onslaught

00:27:07.879 --> 00:27:10.007
and come out
tied at the half.

00:27:10.090 --> 00:27:11.842
Well, you have
to ask yourself,

00:27:11.925 --> 00:27:13.135
was that Magic
and the Lakers' best shot?

00:27:14.636 --> 00:27:16.471
They're doing great.

00:27:16.596 --> 00:27:19.766
- Don't listen to that.

00:27:19.850 --> 00:27:21.560
Dr. J is here to prove

00:27:21.643 --> 00:27:23.854
that his reign
is nowhere near over.

00:27:23.937 --> 00:27:26.189
But Magic's
rookie performance
does not disappoint.

00:27:26.273 --> 00:27:28.317
And, oh look,
there's the rookie
owner of the Lakers

00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:30.652
taking in his team
with his two sons.

00:27:30.736 --> 00:27:33.196
Both chips off the old block,
I'm sure. I'll--

00:27:45.167 --> 00:27:47.794
If you're looking for the game,
you're in the wrong arena.

00:27:49.129 --> 00:27:51.882
Why aren't you in Philly?

00:27:51.965 --> 00:27:54.926
Uh, someone had to clean out
my grandmother's things, so...

00:27:55.010 --> 00:27:57.012
It's just a lot for my dad.

00:27:58.138 --> 00:28:01.266
Your brothers didn't volunteer?

00:28:01.349 --> 00:28:04.728
No. They'd just, uh,
steal the silverware.

00:28:08.940 --> 00:28:10.942
My grandma was so smart.

00:28:11.693 --> 00:28:14.029
So tough.

00:28:14.112 --> 00:28:16.114
But I think she gave
the best of it away.

00:28:18.408 --> 00:28:20.827
But I don't want to be like her.

00:28:22.662 --> 00:28:24.372
I want to be like you.

00:28:36.927 --> 00:28:38.345
You never will.

00:28:41.556 --> 00:28:43.558
You're going to be him.

00:28:48.063 --> 00:28:50.899
We have the feed up on
satellite if you want.

00:28:53.443 --> 00:28:55.445
Maude made chili.

00:29:12.838 --> 00:29:15.590
- Uh, excuse me?
- What is it?

00:29:15.715 --> 00:29:17.300
Uh, I'm supposed to
give this to, uh, Magic.

00:29:17.384 --> 00:29:19.094
Yeah, what is it?

00:29:19.177 --> 00:29:20.762
It's the vote totals
for Rookie of the Year.

00:29:20.846 --> 00:29:22.681
He asked me to get them.

00:29:22.764 --> 00:29:24.766
He wanted to know
how much he lost by.

00:29:24.850 --> 00:29:27.602
Alright, alright.
I'll tell him myself.

00:29:32.983 --> 00:29:34.568
Alright, gentlemen, listen up.

00:29:35.694 --> 00:29:37.737
One more message from the Bard.

00:29:39.114 --> 00:29:41.116
"If we are marked to die,

00:29:42.909 --> 00:29:45.704
"we are enough

00:29:45.787 --> 00:29:47.872
"to do our country loss.

00:29:48.999 --> 00:29:50.792
"And if to live...

00:29:50.875 --> 00:29:53.211
"oh, if to live,

00:29:53.295 --> 00:29:55.922
"the fewer men,
the greater share of honor.

00:29:57.257 --> 00:29:58.925
"For he who hath

00:29:59.009 --> 00:30:02.971
"no stomach to this fight,
let him depart!

00:30:03.054 --> 00:30:06.224
"We would not die
in that man's company

00:30:06.308 --> 00:30:09.352
"that fears his fellowship
to die with us!

00:30:10.729 --> 00:30:11.980
"We few...

00:30:12.814 --> 00:30:14.232
"We happy few...

00:30:16.610 --> 00:30:18.612
We band of brothers..."

00:30:20.322 --> 00:30:21.656
Let's kill those *ers!

00:30:23.950 --> 00:30:25.535
Alright, here we are,

00:30:25.618 --> 00:30:27.287
beginning of round two,
all knotted up.

00:30:27.370 --> 00:30:29.080
And who is going to make
this game their own?

00:30:29.164 --> 00:30:31.458
We've seen marvels
out of Magic so far,

00:30:31.541 --> 00:30:34.085
but if the Lakers want to beat
this veteran Sixers squad,

00:30:34.169 --> 00:30:37.088
he is going to have to find
a new offensive gear.

00:30:37.172 --> 00:30:39.049
Hey, it's EJ the DJ.
Watch this!

00:30:39.132 --> 00:30:40.842
Chones with the inbound
pass to Magic.

00:30:40.925 --> 00:30:42.594
Magic behind the back.

00:30:42.677 --> 00:30:45.472
Beautiful spin move.
Long pass down to Norm.

00:30:45.555 --> 00:30:47.515
Nixon with a lovely layup.

00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:50.018
And the Lakers draw
first blood out of the half.

00:30:50.101 --> 00:30:51.770
- Yeah, y'all!
- Magic back
in the paint now,

00:30:51.853 --> 00:30:53.063
bodying up Erving,
giving the Doctor

00:30:53.146 --> 00:30:54.230
a taste of his own medicine.

00:30:54.314 --> 00:30:55.607
Nixon to Magic.

00:30:55.690 --> 00:30:57.609
Slam dunk!

00:30:57.692 --> 00:30:59.069
Coming to you live
and direct!

00:31:00.570 --> 00:31:02.864
Magic battling for a rebound,

00:31:02.947 --> 00:31:05.241
taking it back the other way.
Fools the Doctor!

00:31:05.325 --> 00:31:07.619
Hits Norm in the corner.
Back to Magic.

00:31:07.702 --> 00:31:09.579
And Magic, eyes in
the back of his head tonight.

00:31:09.662 --> 00:31:11.581
Back to Norm, driving,
lays it up and in.

00:31:11.664 --> 00:31:14.584
and, oh my!
Time out, Sixers.

00:31:14.667 --> 00:31:16.836
You've seen Magic
at point guard,

00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:18.838
you've seen Magic at forward,
you've seen Magic at center.

00:31:18.922 --> 00:31:20.590
Pretty soon, you might
see Magic play a position

00:31:20.673 --> 00:31:22.509
that nobody's even
invented yet, Keith.

00:31:22.592 --> 00:31:24.511
Magic down the middle,
bounce pass to Jamaal.

00:31:24.594 --> 00:31:26.221
Here's Magic,
behind his back to Chones.

00:31:26.304 --> 00:31:28.431
Spies a wide-open Holland.
Swish!

00:31:28.515 --> 00:31:30.266
Magic puts 'em in
the popcorn machine.

00:31:30.350 --> 00:31:32.060
On the block,
pounding with the big man.

00:31:32.143 --> 00:31:34.604
And giving it right back
and more--

00:31:34.687 --> 00:31:36.314
Magic says, give me that ball!

00:31:36.397 --> 00:31:38.900
Put up, back it in,
by who else?

00:31:38.983 --> 00:31:40.902
Magic Johnson.
Boy, I tell you, this kid
is everywhere, folks.

00:31:44.531 --> 00:31:46.116
Lakers up 10 in the quarter,

00:31:46.199 --> 00:31:48.159
and the game all on the back

00:31:48.243 --> 00:31:50.495
of an astonishing performance
by Magic Johnson.

00:31:50.578 --> 00:31:52.205
- They are one quarter
away from a ring.
- Oh, *! Yes!

00:31:52.288 --> 00:31:53.540
But can he keep this up
for 12 more minutes

00:31:53.623 --> 00:31:55.333
without running out of steam?

00:31:55.416 --> 00:31:57.168
Don't! No-- Don't say
a *' word, Bill!

00:31:57.252 --> 00:32:00.004
Don't! You know better!
Don't say another *' word!

00:32:00.088 --> 00:32:02.132
- I'm gonna take a *...
- The other way!

00:32:02.215 --> 00:32:04.717
- I'm gonna take a walk!
- Yeah, you do that.

00:32:04.843 --> 00:32:06.719
It's working, Bill!

00:32:06.845 --> 00:32:09.514
And at the end of three,
it's Lakers 93...

00:32:09.597 --> 00:32:11.224
Baby, they're gonna win it!

00:32:11.307 --> 00:32:12.976
Do you want something
from the kitchen?

00:32:13.059 --> 00:32:15.436
I'm having champagne.

00:32:15.520 --> 00:32:17.397
Not only without their big man
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,

00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:20.275
but also without power forward
Spencer Haywood,

00:32:20.358 --> 00:32:23.778
who was shouldering
a lot of the weight down there
in the post for this team.

00:32:23.903 --> 00:32:26.030
The Lakers
are just 12 minutes

00:32:26.114 --> 00:32:28.992
and one quarter of basketball
away from the Promised Land,

00:32:29.075 --> 00:32:32.662
their first championship
in eight years.

00:32:32.745 --> 00:32:35.582
- One, two, three...
- Team!

00:32:53.683 --> 00:32:55.184
Lakers 10 ahead with
what could become

00:32:55.268 --> 00:32:58.938
a comfortable lead if
they keep the pressure on.

00:32:59.022 --> 00:33:01.566
Sixers gotta
come out swinging,
and they do, folks.

00:33:01.649 --> 00:33:03.401
Erving with
a fast cut to the rim,

00:33:03.484 --> 00:33:05.570
reminding everyone
why he's the Doctor.

00:33:05.653 --> 00:33:07.739
And where was
Magic on that play?

00:33:07.822 --> 00:33:09.240
Erving asking
for the ball again,

00:33:09.324 --> 00:33:10.366
this time in the corner.

00:33:10.450 --> 00:33:12.493
D up! D up!

00:33:12.577 --> 00:33:15.705
Who peels Magic off
like a banana!

00:33:15.788 --> 00:33:19.709
And just like that,
the Sixers
cut this lead in half.

00:33:19.792 --> 00:33:22.337
And Magic Johnson
is looking winded, friends,

00:33:22.420 --> 00:33:24.797
like the Doctor may have
found a cure for him.

00:33:27.467 --> 00:33:29.802
Sixers have no quit in them,
I'll tell you that right now.

00:33:29.927 --> 00:33:32.263
Come on, keep
a foot on their throats.

00:33:32.347 --> 00:33:34.265
Don't let these guys back in it.

00:33:34.349 --> 00:33:35.516
Oh! And Erving
with a clean pick

00:33:35.600 --> 00:33:36.809
leaving Magic in the dust.

00:33:36.934 --> 00:33:38.686
And if you're Paul Westhead,

00:33:38.770 --> 00:33:41.272
this is exactly what
you were afraid of.

00:33:41.356 --> 00:33:43.483
He's been out there
in high gear for
every minute of this game.

00:33:43.566 --> 00:33:46.027
And even at the ripe old age
of 20, that will take a toll.

00:33:46.110 --> 00:33:47.820
Nixon trying to
muster up some offense

00:33:47.945 --> 00:33:49.238
for the struggling Lakers.
Misses badly.

00:33:49.322 --> 00:33:50.615
Jones with the rebound.

00:33:55.328 --> 00:33:57.080
You're alright! Get back!

00:33:57.163 --> 00:33:59.415
Cheeks running the break.

00:33:59.499 --> 00:34:02.085
- To Erving... Good!

00:34:02.168 --> 00:34:04.420
And the Sixers have
cut this deficit to one.

00:34:04.504 --> 00:34:06.172
I'll tell ya, these
Lakers are starting

00:34:06.255 --> 00:34:08.383
to look like a car
without an engine.

00:34:10.802 --> 00:34:13.429
Just over three minutes
and 30 seconds to go
in this game.

00:34:13.513 --> 00:34:15.431
Lakers clinging to
a three-point advantage,

00:34:15.515 --> 00:34:17.600
Magic Johnson has
been carrying the team,

00:34:17.683 --> 00:34:20.019
but now he's looking like it,
friends, walking this ball

00:34:20.103 --> 00:34:21.604
up the court
just to get some air.

00:34:21.687 --> 00:34:23.314
And he walks
right into a trap!

00:34:23.398 --> 00:34:24.690
Dawkins, Hollins,
Cheeks surrounding him.

00:34:27.151 --> 00:34:29.362
Magic throws the ball away...

00:34:29.445 --> 00:34:32.156
- Goddammit!
- right into the hands
of Julius Erving!

00:34:32.240 --> 00:34:34.867
And just like that, the Sixers
trail by only one point.

00:34:37.203 --> 00:34:40.248
- God, they're--
- The crowd
is going wild

00:34:40.331 --> 00:34:43.000
and now, they can taste it.

00:34:43.084 --> 00:34:45.128
Magic Johnson looking tired,

00:34:45.211 --> 00:34:47.713
looking absolutely exhausted
out there, and frustrated.

00:34:47.797 --> 00:34:49.924
- Let's just hope not beaten.
Time out, Lakers!

00:34:53.886 --> 00:34:55.388
Did you call that time out?

00:34:55.471 --> 00:34:56.931
No. He did.

00:35:01.811 --> 00:35:03.479
Time out, Lakers.

00:35:03.563 --> 00:35:05.106
- Sorry, I know.
- No, no, no, no, no.

00:35:05.189 --> 00:35:06.607
* that, * that.
We got this.

00:35:06.691 --> 00:35:08.609
Ain't got nothing left.
I'm spent, Norm.

00:35:08.693 --> 00:35:11.154
You ain't alone, Buck, okay?

00:35:11.237 --> 00:35:12.780
Hey. * look at me.

00:35:12.864 --> 00:35:13.739
You've been doin'
everything out here,

00:35:13.823 --> 00:35:15.575
but we got you.

00:35:16.284 --> 00:35:18.452
I got you.

00:35:18.536 --> 00:35:20.746
Let's go and win
this * game.

00:35:20.830 --> 00:35:22.331
- Okay? Yeah? Alright.
- Yeah.

00:35:22.415 --> 00:35:24.625
Let's go. Let's take it home.

00:35:24.709 --> 00:35:25.960
Magic has played
every minute here tonight,

00:35:26.085 --> 00:35:27.753
and he looks out of gas.

00:35:27.837 --> 00:35:30.173
We've been
wondering all year

00:35:30.256 --> 00:35:32.508
when this kid was
gonna hit the wall.
This may be it.

00:35:32.592 --> 00:35:34.552
It's looking more and more
like it's gonna take

00:35:34.635 --> 00:35:35.928
- a lot more than magic.
- You can say that--

00:35:36.053 --> 00:35:37.847
And I'll tell ya,

00:35:37.930 --> 00:35:39.807
these guys look like
they've been in a war,

00:35:39.891 --> 00:35:41.851
the two of them.
This whole team is exhausted.

00:35:41.934 --> 00:35:44.770
Nixon...
He's got stones for legs,

00:35:44.854 --> 00:35:47.189
and Nixon bringing him
over back to the bench,

00:35:47.273 --> 00:35:48.858
and he is tired,
I'll tell you.

00:35:48.941 --> 00:35:50.318
Magic has had
an amazing night,

00:35:50.401 --> 00:35:51.777
spectacular performance,

00:35:51.861 --> 00:35:53.529
but when push comes to shoves

00:35:53.613 --> 00:35:55.281
in these
high-pressure situations,

00:35:55.364 --> 00:35:56.866
you want experience
driving the team

00:35:56.949 --> 00:35:58.910
when there's
a championship at stake.

00:35:59.035 --> 00:36:01.162
You cannot hear yourself
think in this arena.

00:36:01.245 --> 00:36:03.289
I bet they can hear this
crowd way back in LA.

00:36:03.372 --> 00:36:05.249
I'll tell ya,
if Kareem can't come back

00:36:05.333 --> 00:36:07.209
for that game seven,

00:36:07.293 --> 00:36:08.920
this could be the Lakers'
last best chance.

00:36:14.967 --> 00:36:18.596
Breathe! Breathe!
I know that we are tired!

00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:21.557
But this is what we trained for!

00:36:21.641 --> 00:36:24.185
McKinney miles, gentlemen!

00:36:24.268 --> 00:36:26.437
Okay? Two minutes!

00:36:26.562 --> 00:36:28.189
Two minutes to glory!

00:36:28.272 --> 00:36:30.358
We are gonna win this thing!

00:36:30.441 --> 00:36:34.570
We're gonna win it! Okay?
You believe that! Believe it!

00:36:34.654 --> 00:36:37.615
We finish this
together right now!

00:36:37.698 --> 00:36:39.283
Hands in!

00:36:39.367 --> 00:36:41.827
Champs on three!
One, two, three...

00:36:41.911 --> 00:36:43.371
Champs!

00:36:43.454 --> 00:36:44.747
Come on!

00:36:49.669 --> 00:36:51.295
Come on, let's do it!

00:36:56.342 --> 00:36:58.552
Sixty-three to three.

00:36:59.929 --> 00:37:01.138
What?

00:37:04.016 --> 00:37:05.935
The rookie vote.

00:37:06.018 --> 00:37:07.853
Bird won.

00:37:07.937 --> 00:37:09.980
- Sixty-three to three.

00:37:58.404 --> 00:37:59.655
Ball!

00:38:09.081 --> 00:38:10.833
Magic pushing against Erving.

00:38:10.916 --> 00:38:12.293
Cooper cutting to the basket.

00:38:12.376 --> 00:38:13.878
Magic with the alley-oop.

00:38:13.961 --> 00:38:15.045
Ooh!

00:38:17.882 --> 00:38:19.884
What the--

00:38:19.967 --> 00:38:23.179
God * arrest him!
That wasn't a f--

00:38:23.262 --> 00:38:25.014
That's Michael Cooper
down on the floor,

00:38:25.097 --> 00:38:26.974
and this does not look good,
I tell you.

00:38:27.057 --> 00:38:29.351
- There's Jack Curran going out.
- I won't *' calm down!

00:38:29.435 --> 00:38:31.061
Not good.
Boy, I'll tell you,
he is really hurt.

00:38:31.145 --> 00:38:33.355
He may be out cold.
Team's gathered around,

00:38:33.439 --> 00:38:35.065
and this could not come,

00:38:35.149 --> 00:38:36.483
boy, this could not come
at a worse time.

00:38:36.567 --> 00:38:37.568
Coop, Coop!

00:38:38.485 --> 00:38:39.403
*, man.

00:38:41.155 --> 00:38:43.490
Mike? Mike?

00:38:43.574 --> 00:38:45.743
Hey, Mike? Mike?

00:38:45.826 --> 00:38:47.745
- Do you know where you are?

00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:52.041
Home...

00:38:52.124 --> 00:38:54.501
Pasadena?

00:38:54.585 --> 00:38:56.378
Shit, Philly. Yeah.

00:38:56.462 --> 00:38:59.256
Nah, Coop. You right at home.

00:38:59.340 --> 00:39:02.217
Now, go in your living room
and sink a free throw.

00:39:03.594 --> 00:39:04.970
- Yeah?
- Okay.

00:39:05.054 --> 00:39:06.889
- Cool?
- Okay.

00:39:08.891 --> 00:39:10.517
If he's unable to
shoot this foul shot,

00:39:10.601 --> 00:39:12.436
the Sixers can pick anyone

00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:14.772
from the Lakers' bench
to shoot,

00:39:14.855 --> 00:39:16.440
including our own
hands of stone
Mark Landsberger.

00:39:16.523 --> 00:39:18.442
There you go, Coop,
there you go!

00:39:21.779 --> 00:39:22.988
Watch your toes!

00:39:33.999 --> 00:39:35.626
- Let's go!
- Come on, Coop.

00:39:36.502 --> 00:39:38.837
Sink it!

00:39:58.315 --> 00:40:00.526
Michael Cooper with
the shot of his life,

00:40:00.609 --> 00:40:02.319
and he drops it.
If he can make
the second shot,

00:40:02.403 --> 00:40:03.946
they're gonna
put up by three.

00:40:06.365 --> 00:40:07.658
Coop. There you go.

00:40:07.783 --> 00:40:08.951
Let's get this next one.
Let's go.

00:40:09.034 --> 00:40:10.285
One more! One more!

00:40:12.913 --> 00:40:15.249
Come on, Coop.

00:40:15.332 --> 00:40:17.793
And the Lakers are looking
for a little cushion here.

00:40:17.876 --> 00:40:19.878
- He's got it.
Lakers up three.
- Yes!

00:40:19.962 --> 00:40:21.964
Still a one-possession game,
2:26 left.

00:40:22.047 --> 00:40:23.757
But the Lakers can't go
celebrating too soon, Keith.

00:40:23.841 --> 00:40:25.426
Now, they've got to get
a stop right here.

00:40:25.509 --> 00:40:27.386
Back on D!

00:40:27.469 --> 00:40:28.804
Jones looking for
an open man.

00:40:28.887 --> 00:40:30.889
Norm. Norm!

00:40:30.973 --> 00:40:32.641
Finds him with
a long in-bounds pass

00:40:32.766 --> 00:40:34.810
to a wide-open Dawkins
at center court.

00:40:34.893 --> 00:40:37.563
- Norm!
Intercepted by Norm Nixon!

00:40:37.646 --> 00:40:40.023
Go! Go! Go!

00:40:40.107 --> 00:40:41.817
Moves it quickly
up ahead to Magic!

00:40:43.569 --> 00:40:44.987
Driving to the basket...

00:40:46.155 --> 00:40:47.531
Magic muscles in.

00:40:49.324 --> 00:40:51.410
Erving rushing in
to meet him at the rim...

00:40:52.494 --> 00:40:54.079
Slam dunk!

00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:00.127
Yes! Yes!

00:41:00.210 --> 00:41:01.587
Yeah!

00:41:01.670 --> 00:41:03.922
- Yes!
- Slam dunk!

00:41:04.006 --> 00:41:05.466
Right over Julius Erving!

00:41:15.434 --> 00:41:16.643
That might be the dagger,
and the Lakers know

00:41:16.727 --> 00:41:18.604
they've got this thing won.

00:41:18.687 --> 00:41:20.189
The bench, the entire bench
is up screaming.

00:41:25.736 --> 00:41:27.905
Hey, Paul! Paul Westhead!
Give me five.

00:41:27.988 --> 00:41:29.531
There's 39 seconds
left, Chick.

00:41:30.407 --> 00:41:31.533
Oh shi--

00:41:33.994 --> 00:41:35.954
Gimme five! Atta baby!

00:41:38.373 --> 00:41:39.958
And this game is in
the refrigerator, friends.

00:41:40.042 --> 00:41:41.877
The door is closed.

00:41:41.960 --> 00:41:43.795
The lights are out,
the eggs are cooling,

00:41:43.879 --> 00:41:45.297
the butter's getting hard.

00:41:45.380 --> 00:41:46.924
And the Jell-O is jiggling!

00:41:47.007 --> 00:41:48.133
Left corner!

00:41:48.217 --> 00:41:50.969
Right block! A, B!

00:41:51.053 --> 00:41:53.305
Junior! Keep your head up!

00:41:53.388 --> 00:41:54.890
Look straight ahead.

00:41:54.973 --> 00:41:56.475
Don't show him
where you wanna go.

00:41:56.558 --> 00:41:57.726
Woo! Last few seconds

00:41:57.851 --> 00:41:59.645
of the fourth quarter

00:41:59.728 --> 00:42:01.939
to see which team wins.

00:42:02.022 --> 00:42:04.816
Fades left!
Goes right at the fake--

00:42:10.113 --> 00:42:12.908
And it's official!
The Lakers win

00:42:12.991 --> 00:42:15.702
the 1980 NBA
World Championship.

00:42:15.827 --> 00:42:19.248
That makes Magic Johnson,
a mere 20 years of age,

00:42:19.331 --> 00:42:21.250
the youngest champion
of all time,

00:42:21.333 --> 00:42:23.085
and, boy,
does this kid deserve

00:42:23.168 --> 00:42:25.587
to be enjoying
every minute of it.

00:42:25.671 --> 00:42:27.547
There's always other nights!

00:42:27.631 --> 00:42:29.383
Enjoy this one.

00:42:39.476 --> 00:42:40.936
Dr. Buss?

00:42:41.019 --> 00:42:42.562
We need to beat the rush
down to the stage.

00:42:42.646 --> 00:42:44.606
Come on. It's time for
your moment in the sun.

00:42:47.693 --> 00:42:49.528
One second, Dave.

00:42:52.406 --> 00:42:54.616
Don't be a sore winner,
Gerald.

00:42:56.493 --> 00:42:58.537
You promised me a smile.

00:43:00.288 --> 00:43:01.790
It's not fair.

00:43:03.750 --> 00:43:05.419
You're talking to yourself,
Gerald.

00:43:20.559 --> 00:43:22.352
Just a magical,
magical night,

00:43:22.436 --> 00:43:24.229
led by a 20-year-old rookie

00:43:24.312 --> 00:43:26.565
who was playing basketball
in high school

00:43:26.648 --> 00:43:28.942
- just two short years ago.
- I can't believe it.

00:43:29.067 --> 00:43:31.236
Without question now,
without any question at all,

00:43:31.319 --> 00:43:34.072
the greatest game
ever played in the NBA.

00:43:34.156 --> 00:43:36.366
Winning a world championship,
on the road,

00:43:36.450 --> 00:43:39.411
in one of the most hostile
arenas in all of sports.

00:43:39.494 --> 00:43:41.246
- Yeah!
- *, yeah!

00:43:53.425 --> 00:43:55.552
Congratulations, Norm.

00:43:55.635 --> 00:43:57.804
- Thank you!
- Congratulations.

00:43:57.888 --> 00:43:59.389
Earvin! Got a minute?

00:43:59.473 --> 00:44:01.349
Congratulations, Earvin.

00:44:01.433 --> 00:44:02.809
- Mr. Stern!
- Listen, uh,

00:44:02.893 --> 00:44:04.144
we have a little problem.

00:44:04.227 --> 00:44:05.479
What, you gonna take it back?

00:44:05.562 --> 00:44:07.272
Not that. I promise.

00:44:07.355 --> 00:44:09.357
"SPORT Magazine,"
you know the publication.

00:44:09.441 --> 00:44:12.194
They sponsor our series MVP.

00:44:12.277 --> 00:44:14.154
And see, the writers voted

00:44:14.237 --> 00:44:16.615
to award it to Kareem.

00:44:16.698 --> 00:44:18.533
That's great! He deserve it!

00:44:18.617 --> 00:44:20.702
- We ain't here weren't for him.
- Of course.

00:44:20.785 --> 00:44:22.662
Except he isn't here.

00:44:22.746 --> 00:44:24.706
Wait, they can't get
him on the phone?

00:44:24.789 --> 00:44:26.625
Well, we could,

00:44:26.708 --> 00:44:28.960
but remember what we
talked about at dinner?

00:44:31.004 --> 00:44:33.381
I think you proved it
to the world tonight.

00:44:33.465 --> 00:44:36.051
The man of the moment is you.

00:44:36.176 --> 00:44:39.596
So, you want me to
accept it for Kareem?

00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:42.265
I want you to accept it.

00:44:42.349 --> 00:44:44.059
Darth Vader wins
Rookie of the Year,

00:44:44.184 --> 00:44:46.394
but you're the last
man standing.

00:44:46.478 --> 00:44:49.231
With a trophy of his own.
In every living room.

00:44:49.314 --> 00:44:50.607
Hell of a story,
don't you think?

00:44:52.734 --> 00:44:55.612
- Maybe next year,
he strikes back.

00:44:55.695 --> 00:44:57.072
Maybe you defend the title.

00:44:57.197 --> 00:44:59.282
Tune in and find out.

00:45:01.368 --> 00:45:03.370
But I'm gonna need an answer.

00:45:12.629 --> 00:45:14.172
That whole combination going

00:45:14.256 --> 00:45:16.174
with you and Magic.
It's fantastic.

00:45:16.258 --> 00:45:17.550
- Thank you, Mr. Sharman.
- Okay, Coop.

00:45:17.634 --> 00:45:18.802
Really proud of you guys.

00:45:18.885 --> 00:45:20.470
Alright? Do it again next year.

00:45:20.553 --> 00:45:22.055
- Of course. Of course.

00:45:23.390 --> 00:45:24.683
Excuse me a minute.

00:45:24.766 --> 00:45:25.809
Psst.

00:45:30.188 --> 00:45:32.023
Get your * in there.

00:45:32.107 --> 00:45:35.402
No, this one ain't mine, Bill.

00:45:35.485 --> 00:45:37.904
It would have been if we lost,
though, wouldn't it?

00:45:40.740 --> 00:45:43.118
- What about the next one?
- Huh?

00:45:43.243 --> 00:45:45.370
What about the next one?

00:45:45.453 --> 00:45:48.123
Oh... What about it?

00:45:48.248 --> 00:45:49.666
Fellow knows me pretty well

00:45:49.749 --> 00:45:51.459
thinks that the front office

00:45:51.543 --> 00:45:53.920
might be my sweet spot.

00:45:57.132 --> 00:45:58.425
What?

00:46:00.969 --> 00:46:02.721
Monday.

00:46:02.804 --> 00:46:04.931
Bright and early
after the parade.

00:46:06.141 --> 00:46:07.851
We start next season.

00:46:18.570 --> 00:46:20.822
Well done, gentlemen! Jerry--

00:46:20.905 --> 00:46:22.782
- There he is!

00:46:39.174 --> 00:46:41.301
Hey!

00:46:41.384 --> 00:46:43.261
- * helicopter,
it's a death trap.
- I know! I know!

00:46:43.344 --> 00:46:45.388
- What are you gonna do?
- Alright, Hot Rod.

00:46:45.472 --> 00:46:47.098
Thank you very much.

00:46:47.182 --> 00:46:48.933
I'm here with
the commissioner of the NBA,

00:46:49.017 --> 00:46:52.020
Larry O'Brien.
Very happy owner of the Lakers,

00:46:52.103 --> 00:46:53.897
a couple of players. Larry,

00:46:53.980 --> 00:46:56.191
why don't you present
the trophy to Jerry Buss?

00:46:56.316 --> 00:46:58.151
Well, I'm happy to do it.

00:46:58.276 --> 00:47:01.029
We just finished the greatest
season in NBA history,

00:47:01.112 --> 00:47:03.907
and I think the greatest
series in NBA history.

00:47:03.990 --> 00:47:07.202
It is my great honor to
present this world trophy

00:47:07.327 --> 00:47:10.121
to the owner of
the new world champion

00:47:10.205 --> 00:47:12.081
Los Angeles Lakers.

00:47:12.165 --> 00:47:14.876
He's a rookie himself,

00:47:14.959 --> 00:47:17.086
Dr. Jerry Buss!

00:47:18.463 --> 00:47:19.714
There you go. That's yours!

00:47:19.798 --> 00:47:21.341
That's permanent! You keep that!

00:47:23.301 --> 00:47:25.386
Well, you've been
an NBA owner all of one year,

00:47:25.470 --> 00:47:28.431
already you're a champion,
must be on top of the world.

00:47:32.977 --> 00:47:35.104
- Hoo! Yeah. Uh...

00:47:35.188 --> 00:47:37.899
I tell you, I have never
had a group of men

00:47:37.982 --> 00:47:39.859
like this team do so much...

00:47:42.028 --> 00:47:44.447
minute by minute, week by week,

00:47:44.531 --> 00:47:46.366
month by month. Uh...

00:47:46.449 --> 00:47:48.451
- We played, what, 108 games?

00:47:49.953 --> 00:47:53.248
And these guys gave
everything they had.

00:47:53.373 --> 00:47:55.708
Well, this is the end result,

00:47:55.792 --> 00:47:58.044
so thank you, guys!
Thank you!

00:48:02.173 --> 00:48:04.801
Well, where do
you go from here?

00:48:09.180 --> 00:48:11.558
Now, I guess we do it
all over again!

00:48:11.641 --> 00:48:14.769
Hey! That's what
I'm talking about!

00:48:17.105 --> 00:48:18.648
Go ahead!
Everyone who said
we couldn't do it,

00:48:18.731 --> 00:48:20.984
you can go ...

00:48:22.569 --> 00:48:24.112
And there you have it.

00:48:24.195 --> 00:48:26.281
Colorful owner Jerry Buss
and his champion Lakers...

00:48:26.406 --> 00:48:28.616
Baby, they're gonna call soon.
Okay? Don't worry.

00:48:28.700 --> 00:48:30.868
Moments from now,
we will be bringing to you

00:48:30.952 --> 00:48:33.246
the presentation of this
year's "SPORT Magazine"
Finals MVP.

00:48:33.371 --> 00:48:35.415
And, of course,
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

00:48:35.498 --> 00:48:38.251
was this year's scoring leader.
But, tonight,

00:48:38.376 --> 00:48:41.129
tonight was all about
the rookie sensation.

00:48:41.212 --> 00:48:43.172
And so, we take you
to our own Bill Russell

00:48:43.256 --> 00:48:47.051
to present the award to
Earvin "Magic" Johnson.

00:48:47.135 --> 00:48:50.596
- Congratulations, Earvin.
- Thanks, Mr. Stern.

00:48:50.680 --> 00:48:52.765
Thanks, Bill.

00:48:52.849 --> 00:48:55.059
And, you know...

00:48:55.143 --> 00:48:57.520
we couldn't have done none
of this without Kareem.

00:48:57.603 --> 00:49:00.398
- He the man on his team.
- I'm sure he's watching.

00:49:02.066 --> 00:49:03.860
Well, he couldn't be here,

00:49:03.943 --> 00:49:05.987
so I knew I had to take over,

00:49:06.070 --> 00:49:08.156
get the job done.

00:49:09.866 --> 00:49:11.284
But,

00:49:12.535 --> 00:49:14.537
you know, I'm glad of that.

00:49:15.913 --> 00:49:18.416
'Cause I love to win.

00:49:18.499 --> 00:49:21.502
And I guess I proved
a few things to them doubters.

00:49:21.586 --> 00:49:24.047
- Magic is a winner.
- There's some

00:49:24.130 --> 00:49:27.133
great players who have
never won a championship.

00:49:27.216 --> 00:49:28.926
How many more do you want?

00:49:29.010 --> 00:49:32.513
Oh, about 20.

00:49:32.597 --> 00:49:35.266
- You okay?

00:49:41.147 --> 00:49:43.816
Well, I'll tell you what.
It beats the *y prize.

00:49:43.900 --> 00:49:46.110
At least you made the cut.

00:49:46.194 --> 00:49:48.905
- Those * jokers
forgot my name.
- Next year.

00:49:49.906 --> 00:49:51.157
We make this our own.

00:49:52.325 --> 00:49:55.036
Next year.

00:49:55.870 --> 00:49:57.663
Quiet in here.

00:49:57.747 --> 00:49:59.624
'Cause it's unbelievable.

00:50:01.501 --> 00:50:04.087
Well, you must be
used to it by now.

00:50:04.170 --> 00:50:07.465
- All this winning.
- Yeah.

00:50:11.177 --> 00:50:13.221
I just don't want it to end.

00:50:15.473 --> 00:50:17.183
Me neither.

00:50:35.284 --> 00:50:37.829
Spence! You here?

00:50:40.957 --> 00:50:42.208
- Spence!

00:50:43.584 --> 00:50:44.752
Don't move,
- Jesus...

00:50:44.752 --> 00:50:47.088
It's just me, Spence.

00:50:47.171 --> 00:50:49.048
I've been calling.

00:50:49.131 --> 00:50:51.092
I came to say congratulations.

00:50:51.175 --> 00:50:52.051
- We won.

00:50:52.844 --> 00:50:54.720
I ain't win shit. You won.

00:50:54.804 --> 00:50:56.639
You
kicked me to the curb,

00:50:56.722 --> 00:50:58.140
and you got the nerve
to come in here,

00:50:58.224 --> 00:51:00.101
talking about congratulations?

00:51:00.184 --> 00:51:02.562
- I'm here now.
- Why?

00:51:02.645 --> 00:51:05.898
Because I don't wanna read
about it in a newspaper that

00:51:05.982 --> 00:51:08.568
- they found you in an alley.
- It ain't gonna be in no alley,

00:51:08.651 --> 00:51:11.279
But it is gonna be by my terms.

00:51:11.362 --> 00:51:14.657
- You'd be killing
the wrong man, Spence.
- Nigga, you don't know me.

00:51:14.740 --> 00:51:17.827
I know Spencer Haywood.

00:51:17.910 --> 00:51:20.371
Yeah? Spencer Haywood
ain't shit!

00:51:20.496 --> 00:51:23.332
- I don't believe that.
- Like hell, nigga.

00:51:23.416 --> 00:51:25.001
You know exactly what I am.

00:51:25.084 --> 00:51:27.003
You figured out my trick!

00:51:27.086 --> 00:51:29.797
That's why my Black * ain't
drinking bubbly right now

00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:31.299
with the rest of the team.

00:51:31.382 --> 00:51:33.634
'Cause you know I ain't shit.

00:51:33.718 --> 00:51:35.303
Nigga, you know I ain't shit,

00:51:35.386 --> 00:51:37.555
and I ain't gonna never be shit!

00:51:37.638 --> 00:51:38.889
Just the same!

00:51:38.973 --> 00:51:40.850
Just like I always been!

00:51:40.933 --> 00:51:43.436
- Always!
- I know someone told you that.

00:51:43.561 --> 00:51:44.937
That's what I am.

00:51:48.316 --> 00:51:49.942
- No.
- Look at me.

00:51:54.864 --> 00:51:56.198
Look at her.

00:51:56.282 --> 00:51:57.742
Is your daughter beautiful?

00:51:57.825 --> 00:51:59.285
Look at your daughter.

00:52:02.997 --> 00:52:05.166
- Is she beautiful?
Is your daughter beautiful?
- I can't.

00:52:05.249 --> 00:52:07.418
- That ain't me.
- It is.

00:52:07.543 --> 00:52:10.129
Half of that beauty
comes from you.

00:52:10.212 --> 00:52:11.380
It's yours.

00:52:11.464 --> 00:52:14.633
A beautiful Black man.

00:52:14.717 --> 00:52:16.218
My beautiful brother.

00:52:17.053 --> 00:52:19.764
It's too late.

00:52:19.847 --> 00:52:22.391
- It's not.
- I can't.

00:52:22.475 --> 00:52:25.394
I can't. I can't. I can't
live like this anymore.

00:52:25.478 --> 00:52:27.980
I *ed up.

00:52:31.108 --> 00:52:34.320
- You're a champion.

00:52:42.370 --> 00:52:44.372
Whoo, cowboy Cap!

00:52:44.455 --> 00:52:46.457
- Hey, Cap.
- We're good.

00:52:48.042 --> 00:52:49.585
Congratulations.

00:53:13.067 --> 00:53:15.486
City's out there
throwing you a party.

00:53:15.611 --> 00:53:17.154
Oh, that's their party.

00:53:17.238 --> 00:53:19.448
Is this the paperwork?

00:53:19.532 --> 00:53:21.659
This is the old paperwork,

00:53:21.742 --> 00:53:23.410
and this is the new.

00:53:24.370 --> 00:53:26.872
Just needs a signature.

00:53:32.711 --> 00:53:34.338
How's that look to you?

00:53:37.049 --> 00:53:39.051
Like we need to talk
about a raise.

00:53:40.469 --> 00:53:42.012
Looking forward to it, Claire.

00:53:43.848 --> 00:53:45.349
Me, too.

00:54:02.032 --> 00:54:04.326
You remember what I was
saying about swan songs?

00:54:05.286 --> 00:54:07.788
Well...

00:54:07.872 --> 00:54:10.332
I went through about
80 million bucks this season.

00:54:12.960 --> 00:54:15.462
But I got a few grand
left in the bank...

00:54:16.589 --> 00:54:18.132
fresh line of credit...

00:54:19.300 --> 00:54:21.760
and the best team in basketball.

00:54:21.844 --> 00:54:24.847
So, swan songs?

00:54:26.181 --> 00:54:27.933
This ain't mine.

00:54:30.144 --> 00:54:32.980
Watch me paddle, *s.

00:54:33.063 --> 00:54:35.107
Got something for ya!

00:54:36.525 --> 00:54:38.152
Whoo!

00:54:39.695 --> 00:54:40.946
Yeah!
