comprehend the numbers?

- Still ain't making no sense.

- "Isn't" making "any" sense?

- [sighs]

- Come on.

You can do this. You got it.

[Vince]

I ain't talking about walk-around money.

It's gonna cost

to get his ass back and forth.

Yeah. Get back to me with something.

All right.

- Who was that?

- Do you like playing on a losing team?

No.

That ain't gonna be a problem

no more. Your pops is on it.

You just gotta keep putting in work,

all right?

- All right.

[Terron] Skunk.

Here we go

On a roll

I be movin'

Put the rubber on the road

You look taller in the videos.

Who are you?

Coach Gaines. Liberty Prep.

Your dad said I might find you here.

Your team is 0 and 6 this season, huh?

That must be frustrating,

as good as you are.

Yeah, it sucks. We're trash.

If you were at Liberty,

you'd be 10 and 1.

Play twice as many games

with better teammates, better facilities.

You'd get to travel around the country.

You ever been to California?

I never been out the state.

What?

I would have to leave my mom,

my pops, my friends. Everything.

I wanna show you something.

You recognize him?

Yeah, he's nice.

You used to coach him or something?

Yeah. In fact,

I met him on a court just like this one.

He didn't wanna leave home.

But he made the sacrifices he needed to

and now he's an NBA all-star.

- Know what else he did to get there?

- Worked hard?

No.

He listened to every f***ing thing I said.

Talent's not enough.

You need someone in your corner

who knows the system

and how to play it for you.

He figured that out

and he has 100 million.

What would you do

with that money, Terron?

I would buy my parents a house.

One of those pools that's, like,

shaped like a bean.

What are those things in the backyard

where you just like eat and fart?

- A gazebo?

- Yeah, a gazebo.

[chuckling]

It's real nice you wanna take care

of your family, Terron. It is.

We both know that's not gonna happen

if you stay here.

Think about it.

Wait, coach.

I wanna make it just like him.

I wanna take care of my family.

Good.

Start by giving me 50

behind that crack right there.

All right.

Um, could you count them for me?

You got it. Let's go.

That's one.

There you go. Nice.

Two.

- [Terron] So, what's the gym like?

- Oh, the gym's real nice.

- You're gonna like it.

- Can't wait.

I wanna play basketball forever, coach.
