doesn't exist.

There's no gravity,

no physical limits.

The apple did not fall from the tree.

It's all here,

in the most important muscle of all.

Use it.

I want you to reach for the stars.

I didn't come here to lose,

I came here to win.

Do you want to win?

Sorry... Max? Max...

- Yes?

So, how are we doing?

Isn't this too fast for them?

I've got the feeling that we are...

going backwards a bit. Am I wrong?

Sometimes you have to go backwards

to go forwards.

You want to aim high, right?

- As high as possible.

These boys need a strong foundations.

Markus, Ulrich, Dieter, Thomas,

Special interviews after the showers.

Super training...

See you, Thomas

- Take care.

Good night, Ulrich.

It was good talking to you.

Good night, Mr. Stoller.

Arnold Jacob "Red" Auerbach.

Boston Celtics.

8 consecutive NBA titles.

A Jew from Brooklyn.

Who would believe it, huh?

So?

Jews and sports?

It took us 40 years

to get from Egypt to Israel.

It's a 3 hour walk.

What have these personal interviews

got to do with basketball?

Thomas, in your opinion, is it the

team or the coach that wins the game?

Yes... I don't know either.

But what I do know is that everything

that happens in your personal life

comes out on the court.

From the moment that you face the

hoop and have to make a decision

that can change the game.

Nothing's happening in my life.

I hope that won't affect my decisions.

You're my captain, Thomas.

- I'm not. I'm the team captain.

Like I said, you're my captain.

Thomas, are you not happy

with my being here

or are you just not happy in general?

If it's any help, I can tell you

that I'm not happy

with the way this talk is going.

Thomas, I know it wasn't easy

losing your father.

With all due respect, Mr. Stoller...

- Max. Call me Max.

With all due respect, Mr. Stoller,

we're not friends, and my life

is none of your business.

This generation's mixed up.

They're ashamed of the past

and scared of the future.

They feel threatened by everything.

Growing up these times

is evidently not easy.

Growing up any time isn't easy.

What happened to Thomas's father?

I only know, it's not talked about,

that he drank himself to death.

We were all at his funeral.

His father was some kind of war hero.

In the east, on the eastern front,

I mean.

What angers Thomas is that nobody

remembers war heroes anymore.

It's not nice to admit it,

but neither do I.

Thank you.

Are you sure you don't

want me to wait for you?

It could be difficult

to get a taxi here.

You don't know

your way around.

As you wish, boss.

He's a policeman...

What do you want?

Are your parents in?

Nobody here.

Just a moment...
