MJ.

Murph, Reg, come here, look.

Look at the shoes.

MJ.

MJ?

MJ?

All:
It can't be.

Michael Jordan?

Was it Michael Jordan?

Go. Do your homework.

It's gotta be! Michael Jordan

wore these sneakers, man.

Did you say...

Michael Jordan?

Yeah. I said Michael Jordan.

Give 'em back.

They could be anybody's.

Let me take a look.

No, man.

They're his, man.

Yeah, how do you know

they're not?

'Cause no one ever gives us

nothin' good.

Just abandoned junk

that no one wants.

Like us.

Murph:
We're not junk.

Well, I want 'em!

Oh, yeah?

Then go get 'em.

I want those sneakers.

Murph!

Murph!

- Hmm?

- Wake up!

I gotta get those sneakers.

Suppose Ox is right

and they're not MJ's.

They are MJ's sneakers.

I know they are.

Then we'll get 'em in the morning.

Not in the morning.

Not while Ox is around.

Besides, they'll get ruined in the rain.

I gotta get 'em now!

Well, Calvin,

seems like a really great idea.

Unh.

Aah!

Calvin, be careful!

Don't fall!

Ohh.

Oh.

Ohh!

Whoa.

The tickets were there

just like Coach Wagner said.

I can't believe we're gonna see

a real NBA game.

Oh, me, neither.

How'd you get those tickets?

We just did.

I'm telling Bittleman.

Ox, you can rat on us to Mr. B,

but, uh, you'll miss the game, too.

Yeah! Yeah!

He just dunked the ball!

He dunked the ball!

Geoff Witcher:

The Knights have one more chance here

to chip away at this lead

before halftime.

They're not shooting well.

Open at the wing is Reynolds.

He puts it up...

Oh, no good.

Oh, man.

Reynolds misses another shot,

and that's the end of the first half.

Minnesota Timberwolves

out in front of the Knights by 12,

and once again,

the Knights did not play

very good basketball

in the fiirst half.

Hey, good half.

Good half.

Good half.

We're in great shape.

Great shape.

We'll win it back. Yeah.

Henderson, attaboy.

It's permissible to run in this game,

incidentally.

Yeah. Dvigatsya, Krilov.

Dvigatsya. Yeah.

Man:
Tracy.

Tracy Reynolds,

hey, what a wizard.

You're a magician out there tonight.

Small favor.

Oh, no. No, no.

I don't do halftime shows, man.

I'm not some chalupa giveaway.

Hey, those chalupas

upped attendance by 4,000.

You're familiar with Mr. Granger,

the man who owns the team?

I have a very good relationship

with Mr. Granger.

He hasn't called me in 4 years.

He called this morning.

And he's ready to clean house

if we don't put some asses

in those seats.

Hello, Los Angeles!

And welcome

to your halftime show!

Tonight, some lucky fan

will get the chance

to go one-on-one

with Tracy Reynolds,

the straw that stirs

your L.A. Knights.

Yeah, T-time, baby! Yeah!

Check your ticket stubs.
