Out of all of the kids
at the St. Joseph Basketball Camp...
:10:08
there are a few like Arthur
that Coach Pingatore is recruiting.
:10:17
It was like million of guys
trying to be better than the other...
:10:21
but, to me,
I was better than all of them...
:10:25
except Isiah.
:10:28
It gives me great pleasure to introduce
to you a graduate of St. Joe's...
:10:34
high school all-American...
:10:37
all-American from Indiana University...
:10:41
five-time NBAAll-Star...
:10:44
Isiah Thomas.
:10:47
hello. how are you?
:10:51
In everybody's neighborhood,
there's a guy who can really play.
:10:56
he can shoot the lights out.
:10:59
Every time down the court -
Swish, swish, swish!
:11:03
Then he goes to St. Joseph high School...
:11:07
and the guy gets cut.
:11:11
You say, "But Tom was real good.
Why did he get cut?'"
:11:16
See, Tom didn't learn
the fundamentals of team basketball...
:11:21
which is what you're learning
how to play.
:11:42
he told my daddy
that he knew I could play...
:11:45
so hejust had to play me hard.
