- I know how old you are. [chuckles]

- I brought the yearbook.

- Let me see, dawg.

- [Dris] Show him your picture.

- Where you wanna

[John] You know what? I wanna see

No, remember when we was in the, uh, show?

- We did that show.

- Uh-huh.

- [John] That's cold.

- [Barney] That's you.

- [John] Look at Barney.

- [Barney chuckles] Yeah.

[John] That's this fool.

That's me, back there. That's Buck.

Chuck. Look at Kev. We came out

- Treat her like a lady ♪

- [Barney] Yeah, bro.

- We was like

- [men chuckle]

We was dancing, dawg.

- That was the coldest, bro.

- [Barney] Yes, sir.

[John] This fool bust out

Treat her like a ♪

He bust out the curtains like this,

and he went

Treat her like a ♪

And he zipped his pants up.

- [chuckles] Yeah!

- Yeah, remember that? [laughs]

Treat her like ♪

[John] Now, they put all the bars.

Did we have all these bars?

- [Barney] Where'd these come from?

- God, this was the spot.

- [Dris] Nah, they weren't here.

- [John] This is it, right here.

- [Joe] Right here.

- [John] We was up here, like, "What's up?"

We thought we were grown,

had our little girlfriends.

Had a little girl, yeah.

- [Dris chuckling]

- Yeah. Bro, the police pulled us over.

- [Barney] Sure did.

- [Dris] That was your first car?

[John] Yeah. My first, the red one.

Remember the red one?

- [Barney] We was everywhere in that car.

- [John] In that little red car.

Then it had the brick phone,

and it was turned off.

- [Dris] He's still c*ck.

- We're in the window.

- Every time we pull up next

- [Dris and Joe laugh]

- To a girl, so we hold the brick

- We hold up the brick phone.

You know, that big old gray phone.

We was like this.

[John] Nostalgia going on around

up in here.

[John] Dude, we was so c*ck, dawg.

- [Barney] We was a passionate group.

- [Dris] Mm-hmm.

[Barney] That's basically how he was.

He always been passionate.

[Dris] He was the ultimate teammate.

We used to call him Princeton,

'cause he did everything right.

- Princeton.

- We called you Princeton every day.

The coach wanted him to run the offense

a certain way, that's what he'd do.

He didn't go outside the parameters,

which made him a great player.

Always that person that was amped up.

Hyped up.

It was so amped up and hyped up,

it was one time we almost got off into it.

- Here you go.

- [John] Oh! Dawg!

- [Dris] You don't remember that?

- Oh, I remember. Yeah.

- That fool, he was about to knock me out.

- [chuckling]

- Everybody was a part-time gangbanger.

- [Barney] There you go.

You was a hooper, but if something

went down, you'd be like, "What?"

[Barney chuckles]

Everybody was part-time banging.

And you kind of had a pass

to get away from it.

Fortunately, we was good enough

that basketball snatched us.

- [Joe] Right.

- [John] It was normal.

We over there, and dude whoever

I ain't gonna say who.

They hopped the fence, shot dude.

This fool Barney got him

in his hand, the dude head.

Listen, that was they

It was two friends.

- They were supposed to be friends.

- [Dris] Yep.

And they got into it,

and we were coming out of the gym.

And so, I'm looking at it

to where the guy

He shot him. He fell.

And he stood over him.

And he shot him again.

[Joe] Are you serious?

- [John] On campus, bro.

- [Dris] We was right there.

I walked out, grabbed his jacket.

- Put the jacket over his head.

- [John] Over his head.

That fool Barney just sat there

while that fool passed away.

- [Barney] Yeah. I mean it's

- Crazy, man.

That was it,

and fools looked, and they just, uh

"Yeah, he got shot. He dead,"

and they just walked away. It was normal.

You know what's crazy 'bout that?

I went home and told my father.

He was oblivious to it.

- "It'll be all right."

- [John] Somebody just got shot.

- [Dris] "Go to school."

- 50 feet from us.

- Exactly.

- [John] He was like, "Yeah? Oh."

- [Dris chuckles]

- "Just stay out of the way."

That's it. That's it, bro.

[melancholy music plays]

[John] Yeah, man, this is

this is where I grew up.

It's just [clicks teeth]

it is what it is.

Towards the tail end of high school,

I was out a little bit too much.

I thought I was cool. I thought I knew.

Then you think back,

man, you're just so fortunate

that nothing bad happened to me.

'80s was bad. That was bad times for me.

When I was, you know, middle-school kid,

you know, watching drive-bys.

It was no big deal

to see a drive-by, like, just happen.

I had a g*n put to my head

right over here.

Literally, the dude walks up,

and he points.

And I heard the g*n

hit the window just like this.

Just like that.

It tapped the window like that.

I'm over in the driver's

in the passenger seat.

I'm crying. Like, I can't believe it.

I'm like, thinking, like

[inhales deeply] I literally went

[groans] just like that.

Kinda clenched, like he was

about to sh**t me.

You know, I'm just a teenager

at that time.

Not in gangs or nothing.

But that's what was around here.

I don't think it's that bad.

I'm not painting a picture of,

"It's awful everywhere you go."

But that's kind of

some of the things I lived through.

And sometimes we judge these young men

and say, "Why are you reacting so?

Why are you acting so?"

But these are some things

they've lived through.

[music continues]

[John] Even though they have

this arrogance or this certain pride,

or they act like they got it all together,

or they have this wall up,

and they don't want to open up,

I know that every one of those young men,

every one of them, are insecure.

Because they come from the same cloth

that I come from.

They've been rejected.

They've been disappointed.

They've been let down.

They've been told

they weren't good enough.

They've been told they washed up.

And they're afraid.

And I have to help them not be afraid.

[Bryan] I'm loving it, man.

Hey. n*gga's been here a whole year.

First time he's asked me

how I'm doing. [chuckles]

[Rob] These fools are pulling from deep,

and they don't give a damn.

A couple y'all gonna be like,

"I need to go play for that coach,

then I don't have

to play college basketball."

[John] Like them Like

- [Rob] Exactly. Exactly.

- [John] Like that.

- It's just And they hitting it.

- [Rob] Number one.

It's DC. It's like all DCs out there.

We did a good job against West Valley.

We did a great job,

'cause everybody was alert.

Everybody wanted to win

against West Valley.

It's gotta be a habit to wanna win.

I don't know if we a freaking good team.

I just knew we wanted to win that day.

I was like, "sh**t.

It look like we wanna win."

Dudes was like [growls]

They was doing like this.

They was like that, dawg.

They was like that.

Then they was like [grunts]

Dudes was like [exclaiming]

- They was cold. They was lining up.

Dudes was all the way.

Y'all like [shouts] "What? What?"

[shouts] "What?"

"You ain't coming off this ball screen."

[players mumbling]

- I'm tired, dawg.

- [players chuckle]

You on that damn

- [Rob] We gotta go test.

All right. So, prayers, and prayers go up.

- [Rob] Yes.

- We gotta go test and then

- [Rob] I need you five to stay one second.

- Well, let's go like now.

[John] When we do the playoffs,

it's important, man,

who you play, who you beat.

That's why it was important

we went up there and played West Valley.

That was that boosted

our win index, everything.

But you want to be the team

whose win percentage is 80% wins.

Now that looks really good on the résumé.

So every win and everybody you play

is important now.

[cell phone rings]

[John] What's up, bro?

- You are kidding. [chuckles] Let's go!

- Who?

Let's go! This is the biggest win, dawg.

We all positive.

- Oh, heck yeah.

- Wait, you said we're all positive?

- [Rob] No, he meant negative.

- Aw, that boy trippin'.

- He'd be happy if we were all positive.

- [Rob] Yeah.

[Rob] You gotta wear that feather

on Monday. Something about that feather.

- [Tyrelle] If he's negative

- Just warded off the COVID.

[John] No, you said they're all positive?

Wait. Are you kidding, dawg?

Don't Please don't play. For real?

[John] Hey, it's not good.

- It was the completely opposite.

[Bryan] Starts with defense.

We gotta be better.

[John] Don't only sh**t threes.

Let's not take threes and give them

an opportunity to come this way.

Follow my lead. Here we go.

[woman] Um, I'm gonna change to

USC-UCLA's playing.

- [Demetrius] Nah, this is tough.

- [woman] Are you watching it?

Could you do something like that?

[Demetrius] I could.

- [woman] You have to

- I wouldn't like it.

You know how much technique

and body control you have to have?

- [woman] A lot of practice.

- [Demetrius] There's no wasted movements.

- [woman] No.

- At all.

Look at that.

[Demetrius] Mommy, I'm saying,

one wrong move,

you're cutting her whole leg open.

- I think I'm gonna stick to basketball.

- [chuckles]

[Demetrius] Get the light

shining on it right.

This right here.

As you can see, that's "K" and "B."

Kobe Bryant.

I went to Kobe Camp when I was younger.

My dad worked there, for the Kobe Camp.

That's him and Kobe standing right next

to each other.

This is my dad's book.

So this is him in high school,

and then getting recruited

to Michigan and everything.

All of the newspapers are in here.

I wonder Wow.

Let me see where my dad is.

My dad is right there.

National Champion, right here.

[man] Okay, basketball fans.

- This is DC's debut game.

- [woman cheering] Yeah!

[Demetrius] I'm telling y'all, man.

I've been sh**ting for a while now.

It's the first thing

my dad taught me how to do.

- Hello.

- Let me see your hands.

How you supposed to get your hand

when you sh**t?

- Get it over the rim.

- [woman] Look at those shoes.

Use your hands to do it, okay?

[announcer] against Demetrius Calip,

who has played well

[Demetrius] My dad,

he won a national championship

with the University of Michigan,

ended up on the Lakers,

and he went throughout the league.

My dad went to Michigan.

That was my dream.

Go to Michigan

and get a national championship,

but I didn't get to go.

I didn't get the recruiting from there,

like, that I was expected to get.

[Cynthia] Sophomore year, he was ranked

top 100, and we were surprised about that.

We was like, "Wow."

We started getting calls, recruitment.

[Demetrius] My junior year,

my dad got a stroke.

I didn't know, actually, that he had one.

I just saw him

walking funny to the bathroom,

I was like, "Why is he walking funny?"

He didn't know what he had.

It was frightening,

'cause I didn't really understand it.

I'm not used to strokes.

People don't just have strokes.

So is he going to be okay?

[Cynthia] Now, his dad was

no longer at his games.

His dad was no longer at his practices.

I don't know if maybe

life would look different for him.

I don't know

if he lost passion because of it.

After that, actually, I had zero offers,

but a highlight tape got me to UIC,

to a D1 college.

[Demetrius] And I think it was

very hard for him in that first year.

When something is distracting you

from basketball, it's hard to play.

It's hard. I can't think about that.

I'm a very positive person.

I just can't think like that.

[Cynthia] There was no question

that he could play D1 ball.

All the coaches said,

"Hey. DC can play D1."

[Demetrius] We came to the decision

that it wasn't

the best place for me there at the time.

So I just came back, and now I'm here.

I just want to make sure that he sees me

get everything that I want,

'cause I know that's what he wants.

He's still alive.

At the end of the day,

I can call him on my phone,

he's gonna pick up

and have a conversation with me.

That's all I need from him.

I need to see him and be able to call him.

As long as we can do

those two things, I'm happy.

Stop moving your head.

Ah!

It tickles! It tickles.

[Cynthia] He's a unique kid.

From the moment he was conceived

[laughs]

he was bigger than life.

I was pregnant with my third daughter.

I was probably about 23,

and, um, I wanted to get my tubes tied.

The whole pregnancy I was like,

"Look, Doctor, I want my tubes tied.

I don't want to have any more kids."

So I had my daughter.

Next day, ready for surgery.

They get me all prepped up,

gave me something to sleep,

and I had this dream while asleep.

And it said that

you will have another child,

but it won't be with this husband.

And it will be a son.

And I woke up, and I said,

"No. I can't have the surgery.

Take me back to my room."

- [Cynthia] Then 17 years later, I meet DC.

- [inaudible]

And we had a son.

I went into labor at six months with him.

I wind up being hospitalized

for three days with him to stop my labor.

Every week, I wound up in the hospital

'cause he was trying to come out.

So, he has a will to live.

Every night, when he went to bed,

I would whisper in his ears,

"You are great."

"You are kind.

You are loving. You are patient."

"You are good

at anything you put your mind to."

'Cause I want that

to be in his subconscious.

And Lord Jesus.

It's in his subconscious. [chuckles]

That fool was a 16th dude,

and I just kept noticing him in a bad way.

- Good stuff was happening in a bad way.

- [Rob] Yeah.

I'm like, "Well, sh**t. I would never

teach that, but it's working."

- [Rob] Yeah. Yeah.

- Every practice, playing a video game.

To be honest, you need

a little video game with your team.

[upbeat music plays]

[Cynthia] Where he is now, he's realizing

that, "Hey, I really want to do this."

And now, I see the burning desire for him.

[John] He's like a turtle on the bench.

Every time I'm looking for a sub

or lookin' who to sub in,

that dude's neck sticks straight out,

and he's leaning forward,

and he is ready to go.

I'm trying to catch his eye.

I'm trying to get him to look at me,

think about me.

Hey, I'm still here on the team.

Like, I want you to see me,

because I want to get in the game.

[Rob] I have no doubt that the best team

we can put on the court,

DC would be one of those five.

Honestly, athletically, he just can

do things that other kids can't do.

I love him. I absolutely love him.

I'll take 15 DCs.

[John] He's this free spirit

that thinks the best of himself,

and we just have to steer him

in a direction

that's gonna help him be more successful.

It's kind of infectious, you know.

Like, he thinks he's great.

"I'm going No matter

what anybody thinks in the world,

I'm gonna be great,

and I'm gonna be successful."

You know what?

There's something to like about that.

- [John] Come on, computer.

- [Dezmond] Today gonna be a light day?

- [John] What does it matter?

- [Dezmond] Don't want you to scream at me.

When I scream, it's 'cause I'm nervous.

I don't know if I'm gonna be able

to get Dez a scholarship.

- [Dezmond] Damn. That's what you

- Yeah, "You gotta jump stop, you gotta"

"Gotta be in the stance

or you might not get a scholarship."

- That's all I be stressed out about.

- sh*t.

Sleepless nights trying

to get Dez a scholarship.

[Dezmond] Me too. I be sleepless too.

[clicks teeth] Shut up, dude.

You just you're mocking me.

[Dezmond] No, I be sleepless too.

Thinking like, "Damn,

what if I don't get something?"

You know what I mean?

Coach, you proud of me? Like

[chuckling]

- [Dezmond] Are you proud of me?

- You want me to

- [Dezmond] I wanna know.

- You want me to say if I'm proud of you?

Yeah, are you proud of me?

- You think I'm gonna say it?

- [Dezmond] Like

- You think I'mma celebrate you?

- [Dezmond] No, don't.

I'm saying, are you proud of me,

as far as I came?

- [John] It's hard for me to do.

- sh*t.

Until you get that

till you get out and graduate.

Then I celebrate dudes

- I celebrate you all day long.

- [Dezmond] You'll be proud of me then?

[John] I'm proud you show up today.

You showed up today.

[Dezmond] All right, thanks.

I'll take that.

[Demetrius] Shemar left?

[Rob] Where you lose him at?

Is he that burnt, yo?

Is it that bad? Is he that burnt?

[Rob] I don't know, man. It's gonna

f*ck up Coach's whole mentality, dawg.

What the hell, man.

I'm thinking Shemar got problems, dawg.

sh*t about to be all bad.

Now I gotta go deal with this.

[John] Where's Shemar?

Tell him he done, man.

- I'm done. Tell him he's done.

- [Rob] I'm looking.

- Call him now. Tell him it's over.

- [Rob] All right.

He's done.

Tell him he's done.

Tell him, "Don't come back!"

[Rob] I'm on it. f*ck.

[Ken] Is he responding?

[Rob] Nah. Called him and texted him.

- Gonna be an ugly week for them fools.

- [John] It's real soft right now.

- [John shouting] Top foot up! Back!

- [Ken] Back up, Corey!

[John] Up Up chest! Up!

- [Ken] Go get him!

- Wait, Dez, wait! Get him!

- [Ken exclaims]

- [shouting] You can't close out for us!

You can't close out for us!

- For us! Forget you!

- [Rob] Get Driss.

[John] Close out for us!

You let everybody down!

[Demetrius] Get this over with.

Mosley just got to hear it, that's it.

- All done.

- It's bad.

- [Demetrius] All done.

- It's bad.

[John] A lot of y'all

body language is saying, "I don't care."

"I don't care."

That's what your body language

How about if I say, "I don't care"?

How about if I say, "I don't care"?

"I don't care."

How about if I say that?

Where would y'all be?

How would it be if I say, "I don't care"?

How would it be?

"Man, I don't care what he talking about."

"I don't care.

I just walk in the gym late."

"I don't care." How about if I don't care?

Come March and May,

when you're looking for a scholarship?

"Coach. What I got going?"

[clicks teeth] "I don't care."

"Coach, what college coaches called me?"

[clicks teeth] "I don't care."

"Coach, I'm struggling in the classroom.

What should I do?"

[clicks teeth] "I don't care.

I don't care."

"Coach, I'm hungry."

"I don't care."

"I don't care."

How about if I say, "I don't care"?!

[Rob] Where'd Coach go?

He didn't say nothing.

He smashed on us and left.

[kicks door]

[ethereal music playing faintly]

[John] That's my house right there. 11222.

That's where I grew up.

I was there.

Got pictures sitting on

that little pink brick.

Right there, that little pink brick.

See if this lady is here.

She's like my mom now.

She's running the show.

Look at her. She coming out. Look.

You see her?

This is my mama now since my mama gone,

you know.

- [woman] So these are some pictures here.

- [John] Mm-hmm.

Here's John with his natural. [laughs]

- [John] With my natural?

- Yeah.

- [John] I thought I was tough there.

- That's

[woman] John was a good kid.

Can I tell you that he was very popular?

He was a good kid, though.

- But you just had to keep up with him.

- [John] Mm-hmm.

[Candace] This is when

John was ordained a deacon at our church,

and that's his mom. She was able to come.

Her first time coming back to church

after her brain surgery.

That was in '96.

So she was '96.

- [Candace] 'Cause your dad passed when?

- '98.

- [Candace] Okay.

- And she, uh

- He actually took care of her.

- [Candace] He took care of her.

- Then he died in his sleep.

- [John] Then he passed.

[Candace] She had a brain tumor,

and then she also had breast cancer.

Yeah, that's when I saw

a different level of love.

He'd take her for walks

while she was on that

'Cause she came out

of surgery on the cane.

Then just right when she was

They was able to go out and do all that.

- Right.

- We all went on a vacation.

- Yeah. We did.

- Came back, and he

Then he passed in his sleep.

And that was real hard when he passed.

[John] Mm-hmm.

And, uh, he was taking care of my sister.

And so that was hard.

Caregivers kind of go first.

[Candace] Mm-hmm.

- [interviewer] Was your dad ever a coach?

- Wasn't a coach.

Uh, but he was always there.

He was always there.

- Always there making loud

- I remember him screaming.

"Pick up your man! Pick up your man!"

I'm like what does that mean? [laughs]

You know, my dad was on the other end

with his fishing hat on.

- Yep, yep.

- Cheering.

Yep, he was right there.

Right there cheering. He was

the loudest person in the gym.

- Yes, he was.

- He was the loudest supporter.

- Oh yeah.

- I used to be so embarrassed.

But then when I think about how

- Mm-hmm.

- How supportive that was.

Yeah. Absolutely.

I wish somebody was cheering now when

as I'm coaching.

[Candace] Mm-hmm.

So

Anyway, don't get sad. [chuckles]

[melancholy music plays]

My dad was a phenomenal man.

He was a great man,

and I learned you know, was able to

get a lot from him. So

I didn't even realize that till he passed.

Every one of my friends was there.

Like, who does that?

They were like, the impact

that he had even on their lives

to even see a good man,

to see a good man, like,

Mr. Mosley was a good man.

He kind of messed me up, man.

I thought I was

the best thing since sliced bread.

He made me feel like I was Superman.

Like, "Yeah, boy! You gonna do it!

Yeah, I know. Yeah, you the greatest."

I was like sh**t, my chest was out.

Then I went out there in the world

and got shot down a little bit.

But that foundation keeps me motivated,

keeps me going.

I'm praying, Lord,

help me to love Josh, Bryan, Shemar.

Help me to love DC.

Help me to love them,

and I can help 'em better.

[music continues]

[woman] Did you put the spicy burrito

up here?

[Rob] The one I had was spicy.

[woman] Up here, right?

The other ones were down here?

'Cause, if I get to school

and have the spicy burrito,

I'm not gonna be happy about that.

[Rob] You should have some cereal.

I can't get her to eat no Raisin Bran.

Raisin Bran is for old people.

every single morning, and he's like,

you gotta eat the Raisin Bran."
