You know, everything like that.
Keep my mind occupied.

:06:15
As you already know, you've picked
the perfect recreation.

:06:19
Dr. James Naismith
knew what he was doin'.

:06:21
- It's a great game, isn't it?
- Basketball, yes.

:06:25
- You played some?
- Uh, yes, sir, when I was younger.

:06:28
- You know, I put in a little work.
- I coach my son's team.

:06:31
I ran a neighborhood center.
:06:33
Let's go. Show me that.
Oh, good!

:06:35
That's good, but you crossed over.
You still bailed out.

:06:39
- You coached?
- Nah, nothing like that there.

:06:41
You know, I see somebody out there,
a little kid who needs some help.

:06:45
I work with him,
give him a few tips.

:06:47
- Which hand did you shoot with?
- Right.

:06:49
- Which hand are you
supposed to be shooting with?
- Left.

:06:50
But nowadays, uh,
Warden, they--

:06:53
these kids ain't gonna listen
to nothin' you say, you know.

:06:56
They think they know it all.
:06:58
All they wanna do is dunk and--
you know, everything like that.

:07:00
Their fundamentals is, uh--
is, like, sorely lacking.

:07:03
That's strange.
I haven't had that problem yet.

:07:05
Y eah, well, you--
[ Chuckles ]

:07:07
The kids are smart.
:07:10
They know they don't listen to you,
they end up in here with me.

:07:13
[ Chuckling ]
I never thought about it like that.

:07:16
Did you vote for Governor Pernell?
:07:19
Uh, nah, I ain't never voted.
:07:21
No matter. What does matter
is Governor is a big,

:07:25
huge, fanatical
basketball fan.

:07:28
He played himself--
four years, varsity, at Big State.

:07:31
Good, not great athlete.
:07:34
He's the biggest supporter
Big State has. Bleeds red and white.

:07:38
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I saw
something like that about him on TV.

:07:42
Do you have a son named
Jesus Shuttlesworth?

:07:45
Y es, sir.
:07:46
Is your son considered the number one
high school prospect...

:07:50
in these United States
of America?

:07:52
Some people rate him
that high, some don't.

:07:55
- You know, two, three, six.
- [ Chuckling ] Come on, Jake. Come on.
