:40:02
The Trojans were led on the
court all season by 6'2'"sophomore guard...

:40:06
Curtis Gates.
:40:21
When he went to college,
and Michael Jordan first came to the NBA...

:40:27
they would,you know, sit around and argue
over him- who could play the best.

:40:35
Curtis was named Player
of the Decade at ColbyJunior College...

:40:41
but he also developed a reputation
for being uncoachable.

:40:46
Curtis's idea of being real good is...
:40:52
you don't follow the rules,
you do what you wanna do.

:40:57
Curtis finally signed
at the University of Central Florida...

:41:02
but he didn't get along with the coach
and rarely played.

:41:07
Even ifhe didn't play ball...
:41:10
it was a nice university.
:41:12
he could have finished school.
:41:15
But he couldn't handle it.
:41:30
Security. Can I help you?
:41:33
I'm used to everybody
in the neighborhood loving me...

:41:36
and knowing how good I can play.
:41:40
It just seemed like people looked up
:41:42
to Curtis Gates when
it came to basketball...

:41:44
but now...
:41:47
I'm just a regular old guy
on the street now.
