:09:03
I'll be shocked...
:09:06
'cause that'd be my first time
ever seeing him...

:09:09
up close, you know, real life.
:09:19
Basketball has to be second
to your academics.

:09:24
If you don't get your grades,
you're not gonna play.

:09:27
If you work hard at the grades,
and if you work hard at basketball...

:09:32
then I would be able to help you
as far as going to college.

:09:36
And I guarantee this.
:09:38
I can't promise you where you're gonna go
and if you're gonna be a star...

:09:42
but I guarantee that I would help you
get into the school...

:09:47
that would be best for you.
:09:50
I'm making a commitment to you...
:09:53
if you make a commitment
to being part of this kind of a program.

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!
