"I know this is gonna sound crazy." "I mean, this is gonna sound crazy..." "Just tell me." "Just tell me." "Look, I think I know where your game has gone." " Huh?" " Somebody took it." "Somebody took it?" "Remember the kid who took the shot at the Thunder game?" " Yeah." " Uh-huh." "And he drilled Rumble." "And you autographed a ball for him." "Yeah, I remember." "He's the best player in Oklahoma." "All right, so?" "So before meeting you, the kid used to suck." "He used to suck so bad he wasn't on the high school team." "He was a towel boy." "I went to his game, right?" "He lit it up 52 points." "Fifty-two points against the second-best team in the district." "Yeah." "I mean, it was like watching you play if you was 14 years old." "So, what are you trying to say, man?" "I don't know." "Somehow, this kid got, stole, found..." "I don't how this happened, but this kid has your talent." "Yeah, and your sanity." "You're tripping." " Really?" " Yeah, really." "KD, come on, man." "Come on, KD." "Seriously, man." "Look, I know this sounds crazy." " Oh, do you?" " Yes, I do." "You're telling me this kid swapped talents with me?" "Swapping would mean you got something in return." "I mean, this was a one-sided deal." "I mean, this kid was bad, okay?" "But he can't be as bad as you are now." "No offense." "Look, Alan, man, I love you, man." "You do a lot for me." "You even got some good ideas sometimes." "But if you put this idea out, I guarantee you're fired." " Heh." "Dropping an F-bomb?" " I'm not laughing." "Real..." "The F-bomb?" "Look, I'm trying to help you out, man." "This is..."

" Yeah?" "Yeah." "Little secret?" "Denver was not always fun for me." "You?" "I find that hard to believe." "No, seriously." "I was more on the outs with the in crowd, you know."

"I guess, yeah." "I mean, I just never heard of you before." "Excuse me." "I don't mean to be rude, but we're, uh..." " We're kind of..." " On a date." " We are, officially?" " Yeah." "Oh, on a date." "I'm sorry." "I just..." "You know, I really know talent when I see it." "I'm Kevin Durant's agent." "No way!" "Kevin Durant's agent?" " Yes way." " That's awesome." "He's Kevin Durant's agent." "I thought you said this was some community outreach program for underprivileged schools?" "Look, this is all relative." "All right?" "Think of it as a way to get your mind off things, know what I'm saying?" "Give back to the kids." "You might get something back in return." "Come on." "Let's go." "Let's go."

"BRIAN:" "And you didn't miss." "That was insane." "Appreciate that." "It was nice meeting you, but I gotta get going." " I got a game tonight." " Oh, okay." "Wait, wait." "Ho, whoa, ho, ho." " What about the free shoes?" " What free shoes?" "[ALAN CHUCKLES]" "New kicks." "New shoes." "A pair of black monsters of destruction." "He's talking about his shoes there." " Yeah." " Yeah, I got that." "You know, I remember..." "I remember my last pair of new shoes." "Long time ago." "It was right before I scored 21 points." " Twenty-one?" " It was a great game against Wayne County Dance and Technical." " Never knew what hit them." " I'm telling you." " No footage on it though, unfortunately." " They only had film." "You know, I'm primarily known as a high school coach but as you can see, the way I elevated Brian's play I think my skill set translates to NBA." "Oh, is that right?" "So if there's any tips you need, you all right?" "I'm good." "But I'll keep you in mind." "Are you stretching?" "Are you stretching before the game?" "You've been stinking up the court, I thought..." " You guys should take a picture." " Sure, of course." "You don't mind, do you?" " No." "Bri, why don't you be in the middle?" " Okay."

"I just thought if you guys were around each other things would go back to the way they were." "This kid has something to do with what happened." "Think this isn't hard on me?" "Think I don't hear what they're saying on TV?" "In the newspapers?" "In the locker room?" "I hear it." " I know." " The players too, they're trash talking." " It's been tough on me too, man."

"Your sudden talent?" "I blossomed." "You know, Michael Jordan got cut from his high school team sophomore year." "Every kid who's ever sucked hangs on to that story." "Look, when MJ got cut from varsity he then tore up JV with a bunch of 40-point games." "How many points did you score before meeting Kevin at halftime that night?" "None." "I didn't play." "Fine." "The game before that?" "None." "I wasn't on the team yet." "Freshman year, last year, what was your scoring average?" " I didn't make the freshman team." " Now what's your scoring average?" "Forty-eight points a game." "Exactly my point." "Kevin Durant hasn't missed a layup since he was your age." "Now he can't even make one?" "Why?" "Why are you trying to ruin everything?" "I know this is important to you, I do." "But that talent you now have is not yours." "No, you're wrong, okay?" "You're wrong." "It's not magic or whatever you think it is, okay?"

" Basketball is the only reason you did." "ZITOWSKI:" "Brian Newall." "I noticed you the first day when I walked down the hallway." "By your locker, talking to Mitch."

"You see a disability, I see a weak point guard." "That's all." "Look, Brian, I'm not one of those touchy-feely kind of coaches, you know." " I'm really uncomfortable with it..." " Yeah, I've noticed that." "You think Bobby Knight would be in the hall of fame if he tossed around compliments instead of chairs?" "I don't even know who that is." "Okay, I'm gonna forget you even said that." "Here's the point." "It doesn't matter how you got here." "You got here." "You know, my dad, he thought I was a weak athlete." "He wanted to strengthen me up a little bit." "So he did a code red on me." "Woke me up at 3 a.m. every day, made me do extra laps." " Your dad did that to you?" " Might have been a movie I saw." "Point is, I still got that juco scholarship." "I'm just glad that whatever you did, you did." "The whole school is." " If I had your talent, boy..." " My talent." "What?" "What?" "Nothing." "One more game, we'll be in the state playoffs." " How good does that sound?" " Too good to be true." "Too good to be true." "Hey, I'm proud of you." "Thanks, coach." "You did good." "You did good for all of us." "And I'm glad of what you brought to me too." " Yeah." " Okay." " We've had our talk?" " Yeah." "You're cool?" "All right." "Eat well, hydrate." "I'm counting on you." "Hey, it's me." " So, what do we do?" " You'll see." "How long has he been here?" "Almost three hours." "And he isn't getting any better." "[JANITOR CHUCKLES]" "Come on." "Yo, KD!" "Man, what's he doing here?" " I wanna give your talent back." " You got him believing this nonsense too?" "That's it." "I told you it wasn't helping in the first place."
