Someplace in America right now.
there's some 1 0-year-old kid.
1:35:04
He's out there on that playground.
1:35:07
And he's playing.
He's dribbling between his legs.
1:35:09
He's going left. he's going right.
1:35:12
He's already above the rim.
he's stuffing it home.
1:35:16
You know what's gonna happen to
this kid? Five minutes from now.
1:35:19
he's gonna be surrounded by agents
and corporate sponsors and coaches.
1:35:24
l mean. people like me
just drooling over this kid
1:35:27
because he holds our future
employment in his hands.
1:35:32
l mean. that's what we've made
this game.
1:35:36
That's what we've done.
1:35:41
You know. the best coaching job
l ever did.
1:35:43
that wasn't tonight.
lt was last season.
1:35:46
You know. when we were 1 4 and 1 5.
We had a losing season.
1:35:49
But goddamn it. those kids.
they gave me their heart!
1:35:52
They gave me everything they had!
1:35:54
They played up to the maximum
of their ability!
1:35:57
They gave it everything!
1:35:59
And. you know. it wasn't good enough.
Wasn't good enough for me.
1:36:02
Wasn't good enough for you.
Wasn't good enough for anybody!
1:36:10
That's pathetic.
1:36:14
l mean. it's really pathetic.
1:36:20
l've become what l despise.
1:36:27
l cheated my profession.
1:36:31
Cheated myself.
1:36:35
l cheated basketball.
1:36:40
There's two words l didn't think
would ever come out of my mouth.
1:36:45
l didn't think l'd ever be able
to say them.
1:36:55
l quit.
1:36:57
Oh. my God.
