Now, let's talk about common courtesy.
:12:12
You know what courtesy is?
:12:14
Respect.
:12:16
That's all. Respect for other people.
:12:19
And that comes from
respect for yourself.

:12:21
You give respect so others will give
you respect. If they don't, it's on them.

:12:26
How many here play basketball?
:12:28
Hey, I'm bad, man.
:12:30
All right.
:12:32
Slam's my name.
That's my game.

:12:35
-Denise, show that sucker.
-Yeah, show the dunk.

:12:37
Earline the Pearline.
Now you see me, now you don't.

:12:41
Can't miss you, the way
your sneakers smell.

:12:44
Okay, okay, okay.
:12:47
Now, someone feeds you a pass,
you score, you say:

:12:51
"Hey, nice pass."
Now, that is a common courtesy.

:12:53
Common, no big deal.
:12:55
"Please" and "thank you"
are common courtesies.

:12:57
Common, no big deal.
:12:59
Nothing taken away from you.
But now let's discuss the psychology...

:13:03
-...of common courtesy.
-Psychology!

:13:09
The psychology of courtesy is...
:13:11
...to encourage someone to give
you that pass, set that pick...

:13:14
...so that you can take your best shot.
:13:16
-Getting people to help you get over.
-Courtesy is to give and go.

:13:20
-Give and get.
-I ain't playing with Denise.

:13:23
She's a ball hog.
:13:24
A job's like a ball team. You don't have
to like everybody you play with.

:13:28
But the only way you'll get
your piece of the action...

:13:32
...your championship ring, is....
:13:35
Is for everybody to get one.
:13:37
That's what winning is,
getting your piece of the action.

:13:41
Now, we're gonna go
downtown, into the field...

:13:43
...to practice common courtesy.
:13:46
-All right!
-Oh, yeah!
