...is basketball.

Unlike football and baseball,

only 5 men can play on a team.

It's a fast-paced, razzle-dazzle

game that requires quick wits...

...and even faster reflexes.

Here's how it's done professionally.

The National Basketball Association...

...featuring the best players in the world.

The best players in the world!

The best!

Excuse me. Oh, so sorry.

Excuse me.

Get off my nose!

Quiet, they're looking!

lt's basketball!

Where?

Whoa! Now what?

-She's looking.

-Close it up.

Tightly.

You poked me again.

Sweetheart?

l thought you'd get better seats.

-This is the best l could get.

-This guy's doing something weird.

Just let me watch the game.

Barkley is killing us.

Someone's killing someone!

No. Seriously?

A killer!

Let me see!

There! That's the killer!

He's big.

He's good.

He's mine!

Go get him!

Come on! Get back on defense!

Let's go! Get back on d!

What are you doing?

Time out! Call time out!

What's wrong with you?

Let him in.

Open up!

Open!

He did it.

l got it! l got his talent!

Super.

-Sit down, Chuck.

-Man, l'm fine! l am fine!

l played you too much.

-l'm not tired!

-Get the doctor.

You all right?

You sure?

Come on, we're okay.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, Patrick. Showtime!

What's wrong with him?

In a shocking development, 5 NBA

players were put on the disabled list...

...in the last 24 hours, all suffering

from the same mysterious ailment...

...that affects the player's coordination.

l'll be home in a few days.

Put your mom on.

How you doing?

Watching TV?

What's going on?

-You gonna be all right?

-I'm ready, Coach.

Looks like l retired just in time.

l must go.

l'll call you later. Love you, bye.

lt's open!

lt's game time!

Lace up your Nikes.

Grab your Gatorade and we'll

get a Big Mac on the way.

Now we go to the Los Angeles Forum...

...where the Lakers are

refusing to take the court.

Get dressed.

We got a game in 5 minutes!

We're talking a huge fine.

We can't go in the locker room.

You heard what happened to

Barkley and Ewing. There's germs.

Cedric, that was in New York,

Bacteria travels faster

than the speed of light.

Like ''lnvasion of the Body Snatchers.''

All right.

Dress in the hallway.

Okay, okay, which one of you

maroons has ever played basketball?

l have, Coach.

And there's an important question

l must ask you.

What do you think?

l'm partial to purple and gold.

lt's better with my coloring.

Nice outfit, Daffy.

The little aliens say it's

their turn to use the court.

Sure, let the little pipsqueaks

knock themselves out.

Too bad you can't practice

getting taller, boys.

Hey, little pig!

l wet myself.

Time to play a little basketball.
