(light chiming music)

- This Dallas team has come a long way

in the last five years.

I think we should be proud to have such a franchise

in this area.

- These fans show their pride in quite a loud manner too,

don't they, Vern?

- Yes, sir.

Some of the most vocal fans in the league.

Well I'm looking at the stats here, Alan,

and this is the seventh game in the last nine

that's come down to the wire for Dallas.

- No wonder the fans are so vocal,

look at the excitement they experience at the game.

Dallas has gotten off to a sluggish start this season

as they usually do, but we must remember

that they've been in playoff contention

since the second year of the franchise.

So there's little room to doubt

that they'll be right there again this year.

- And there's one of the reasons for Dallas' success,

Brad Johnson, the youngest owner in professional sports.

Absolutely detests losing at anything,

which we learned in your interview last week with him.

- That's right, Vern, he thrives on winning.

We're about ready to resume play now

with Denver holding on to a two-point margin.

The ball inbounds to Davis.

Davis out at the three point line.

Shoots and nails the three pointer.

And Dallas takes the lead

with nine seconds left on the clock.

Denver calls a quick timeout with four seconds left

as Dallas point guard Chip Davis nails a three pointer

to give his team a one point lead

in this thriller from Lowe's.

- Denver's gonna have to pull off a minor miracle

to get this one in the win column, Alan.

Dallas is back on the court now with three players

under the bucket to guard against the long feed pass

that Denver's almost certainly gonna try.

- [Alan] James will inbound for Denver

as Coach Curtis Campbell hopes for a miracle.

Inbound pass to Ford.

Three seconds, Ford holds to mid-court.

Hall dribbles in, two seconds, he stumbles, throws it up.

It's good, and that's the ballgame.

Denver wins it on Hall's stumble shot from 17 feet.

What a hard picture, Dallas loses another one

on a last second shot.

(thrilling electronic music)

(thrilling electronic music continues)

(thrilling electronic music continues)

(thrilling electronic music continues)

- Good morning, Nance.

- [Nance] Good morning, Mr. Johnson.

- Good morning, Brad.

Mr. Kagel is here to see you.

It's time for your end of the year briefing.

- Okay, thanks, Mary.

- Mm-hmm.

- [Brad] So, Bernie, it's that time of year again, huh?

- Yeah, well we all have to pay our taxes

every now and then.

- Yeah, can you do it without me?

It seems like all I ever do anymore is talk about money.

- BJ, you schmuck.

You should be happy, most people would kill

to have your kind of problems.

- I used to think that.

I mean, I really used to think that money was the answer.

But it's not.

The answer is success.

- What am I hearing here?

Come on, man, wake up.

You are a success.

What are you talking about?

(intercom beeping)

- [Receptionist] The accountants

with Mr. Kagel's office are here.

Shall I show them to the conference room?

- Please do.

- And tell Abernathee I'd like yesterday's

business included.

- [Abernathee] Yes, sir.

Will do, sir.

- You see?

Everybody calls you sir.

Now that's success.

- People call you sir because they think you're getting old.

You just wait, some day they'll be calling you sir

until it makes you wanna puke.

But as for success, I'll show you success.

And I read, Bradley Johnson Incorporated,

i.e. CompuSearch International.

Last year's earnings $261 million.

CompuState Developments, i.e. hotels, restaurants,

shopping centers, last year's earnings $52 million.

And lastly, one professional basketball team.

Last year's earnings, 28 million.

That, my friend, spells success.

- That, my friend, spells cash.

And I spell success W-I-N.

And we have yet to W-I-N a national championship.

- You're talking about basketball at a time like this?

I just got done telling you you're one

of the richest men in the world today.

Get serious, BJ.

- I am serious.

We're second place in our division.

- You're in the black.

Second place isn't bad.

What's the big deal anyway?

- I want to be remembered.

And nobody remembers who came in second.

- They'll remember you because you're rich,

you're handsome, you're successful.

Excuse me, there's that word again.

- You can't argue with me, Bernie, not this time.

We haven't won a championship.

we haven't won a championship have we, Bernie?

Listen, money isn't everything, you know.

Money is everything.

In the game of life, it's the way we keep score.

In the business world of today,

the accumulation of wealth is the standard

by which we measure success.

Yet you, the young leaders of tomorrow,

your objectives in life should reach

far beyond financial gain.

Don't just stand on the sidelines

and wish you were a winner.

Get in there.

Thank you.

(audience applauding and cheering)

- [Board Member] Well, I wonder what evils lie

in wait for us today.

- Just the same old good news session again, I'm sure.

- Well, let's get a bottle of scotch

and rename this happy hour.

(all laughing)

No no no, really, I'm serious.

You know, all we ever do anymore is simply tell Bradley

how rich he's become the past month.

- Well, we must be his good luck charm or something.

We did get the Pentagon contract, you know.

- You're damn right we're his good luck charm.

But you think Bradley will remember that?

Hell no he won't remember that.

Just wait, I can hear him now.

All of the credit for CompuSearch profits

will go straight to the fourth floor just like always,

because computers are the answer to all man's problems.

- If you were to invent a computer at the ripe old age

of 24, you'd be a little cocky too.

- Good morning, gentlemen.

- [Board] Good morning.

- And here comes the world's luckiest man.

- Sorry I'm late.

The coach and I felt that after last night,

a little morning prayer meeting was in order,

if you know what I mean.

(all laughing)

So, let's get started.

- As usual, profits are up.

13 new contracts last quarter.

And we've all heard about that new Pentagon contract.

- Yeah, thanks to the fourth floor.

All of last year's profits came straight

from the fourth floor.

I keep telling you people, those computers are the answers

to all of man's problems.

- Do you see, what did I just get through telling you?

You know, Bradley, I honestly think

you'd make love to one of those computers

if you weren't afraid of the electrical shock.

(all laughing)

- Well, I hate to break up this festive spirit,

but we do have a problem.

Anyone have a suggestion

on how to win a basketball championship?

- We are winning, BJ.

96 straight sellouts at home.

28 million in revenue.

And we're in the playoffs every year.

- But we haven't won yet.

We've tried everything from new players

to new coaches, we've even tried new uniforms.

But nothing's worked.

- Gentlemen, I've got it.

Bradley, you go down to the fourth floor,

and you get five of your very best computers,

and you suit them up in five of those little,

bitty uniforms, and then they hit the court,

because computers are the answer to all man's problems.

(all chuckling)

- Not a bad idea.

- Bradley, I was just kidding.

- Mary, get me Alvins on the fourth floor.

- Is Alvins a computer?

- No, he's real, all right.

He's that little weasel with the specs.

- Doc Alvins, always good to see you.

You know, I was just telling the board

that you're the best man in the business.

- Well, so what do you want now, Mr. Johnson?

- Are you in the middle of anything important?

- The Pentagon project.

Don't you remember, you asked me to personally supervise

any and all-

- Okay, Alvins.

Right, I remember.

Well, drop that.

Start on this.

Devote all your time to it and make it top priority.

Got it?

- A magazine?

- Basketball.

I'll have player personnel fill you in

on all the data you need.

Any problems, see me personally.

- I don't know the first thing about basketball.

Well, I'm sure Reeves would be a better man

for this project.

Well, he's a lot taller than I am

and he knew a basketball player once, and-

- Alvins, I'm sure you're the best man for the job.

- But, sir-

- Alvins, if you don't like it here,

I'm sure we can find a spot with the highway department.

- I'll start right away, Mr. Johnson.

- Good.

(soft music)

- Okay.

Let's see what this ball's all about.

- [Delphi] The basketball is a spherical leather object

used by grown men to play kid games.

When spinning on its vertical axis,

it becomes visible into 360 longitudinal lines.

- You don't have to get that detailed.

- [Delphi] I am your friend.

I tell you everything.

Initial composite of the ideal athlete

has been imputed as follows.

The relationship between femurs, tibias, and fibulas

should be at a ratio of 2.64 to one.

Cardiovascular rate should not exceed 120 beats per minute

at maximum stress.

The average height of an NBA player

is six feet, six and a half inches.

The average hand size in the NBA is nine inches.

Listen, I'm talking.

Average shoe size is 12 and a half, that's big.

Favorite shoe is Converse.

The average vertical leap of an NBA player is 29

and a half inches.

The average player in the NBA makes $280,000 a year

for nine months of work.

- (scoffing) I might take up basketball.

A typical player in the league owns a $34,879.13 car?

- [Delphi] I may take up basketball.

- Well, now don't get too excited.

- [Delphi] The sexual activities of the average player-

- Don't get tacky.

- [Delphi] Sorry.

- That's better.

(upbeat music)

- Gentlemen, this is Doc Alvins, head of research.

Alvins this is personnel director Henry Kirby,

Coach Bexler, assistant Mike Turner.

- [Delphi] I am Delphi.

- Excuse us, Delphi, how are you doing this morning?

- [Delphi] Very well, thank you, Mr. Johnson.

- So, what do you have for us?

- Oh, quite a lot, as a matter of fact.

Would you like to see the end result

or the method I used to find it?

Oh, I see.

This, gentlemen, is your team as it now stands,

or rather a profile of it.

- That's great, Doc, could you pick up the pace?

- Now then, the next profile you will see

would be that of the perfect team.

The relationship of biophysics, various coulometries,

and other obvious apropos such as two dimensional geometry

tell me that this is the team

that will a national championship.

- What the hell did he just say?

- Once again, Doc, in English.

- Sure.

You need a new, oh yes, you need a new point guard.

- For Christ's sakes, Brad, what the hell is this, a joke?

We got the best point guard in basketball today.

- Just give him a chance.

- This is your team and this is the perfect one.

Now this is the man in question, now watch.

Everything is identical except that the point guard

is out of sync with the rest

of the team on the Dallas profile.

On the perfect one, the guard is in rhythm

of line and movement with the rest of the team

and the play is a success.

See?

- (chuckling) That's nothing,

I can teach our boys to do that.

- Well, I'm afraid you can't.

I mean, no one can.

It has to be a player to fit the rest of the profile.

And only one can fit.

- What does this player look like?

I mean, do you have something we can get our hands on?

- Yes, sir.

Let's see, size nine shoe, hand size 22 millimeters.

A radiated axis performance of .0116.

- [Brad] Do you have us a player yet?

- Well, not a player, the player.

We'll be lucky to find a single matchup.

Now, I took the liberty of running a check

on all the players in the league.

I found nothing.

- Nothing?

God, what a jerk.

- Anything else you could suggest?

- Well, I reviewed all the data of players

having recently retired from the NBA.

Nothing there.

Oh, now I understand there's something called a draft.

Now, I took liberties in checking that out.

My taking all those eligible in the coming year

and fitting them into the profile,

uh, I again came up empty.

- Just love guys who find something wrong

but have no way to fix it.

- Well, you asked me and that's your answer.

- I didn't ask you anything.

- Mr. Johnson, must I endure this scorn

and verbosity of abuse?

- Wait a minute.

Doc, where do we go from here?

- Well, back to the computer, of course.

Mr. Bexler, in your opinion, who is the foremost player

living in the world today?

- The Birdman.

- Um, that would be Larry Bird, Alvins.

- Fine.

Basketball player Larry Bird.

Just as I said, Delphi found a way to make him even better.

(soft music)

- Henry, I need your help on this.

I need you to work with research.

I've instructed Alvins on the immediacy of it,

but he'll need your help.

Because when it comes to basketball,

Alvins is a complete invalid.

- [Henry] You're serious about this, aren't you?

You actually believe that this will work.

- [Brad] I'm as serious as a heart attack.

As soon as the team starts performing like the profile,

the sooner we start winning.

- [Henry] What about Davis?

You plan on benching him?

- [Brad] You worry about finding the matchup

and I'll worry about Davis when the time comes.

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music continues)

(upbeat music)

- [Mary] I'm leaving now, Brad, do you need anything else?

- No thank you, good night.

(upbeat music continues)

- [Delphi] File access code name and number.

- Shit, Alvins, I should've fired you a long time ago.

(keys clacking)

- [Delphi] I am the private property of Doc Alvins.

- Yeah, I am the boss of Doc Alvins.

- [Delphi] Unauthorized access denied.

- Is that right?

I'll see about this.

Who do you think taught you this stuff anyway?

- [Delphi] Final warning, any unauthorized access

will be denied.

Please file proper access code immediately.

(keys clacking)

- There, now maybe you'll listen to me.

- [Delphi] Rape, rape, rape, rape,

rape, rape, rape, rape, rape.

- Mr. Johnson, last night after hours,

somebody broke into my office.

Sir, they violated my computer.

- Alvins, get back to work

before you find yourself on a road crew.

Mary, hold my calls, I do not wish to be disturbed today.

(Brad sighing)

- God, I just can't do anything anymore.

"Get back to work before you find yourself on a road crew."

Well, maybe I wanna work on a road crew,

did you ever think of that? (shouting)

- What is wrong with you?

I've been looking for you for 20 minutes.

I saw this article and it gave me an idea.

We need to run a check on all the players

who were passed over by the draft.

It may give us something to go on.

Well come on, man, don't just stand there.

This could be it.

(Brad sighing)

(keys clacking)

(buttons clicking)

(phone ringing)

(crickets chirping)

- Hello?

- Hold on, I'll call Mr. Johnson.

(phone ringing)

- Hello.

- [Doc] We've found our man.

- Seriously?

Well, what's the story?

- [Doc] Five-eight, graduate of Biskane College

in New Hampshire.

- Well come on, Alvins, where is he now?

- Well, I don't know.

No one's tried to call yet.

- [Brad] Well, what time is it?

- Two o'clock.

- Forget the call.

I want Henry on the first plane to New Hampshire.

I want that player under contract.

- [Doc] Well, I've got him on the other line now,

I'll tell him.

- Good work, Alvins.

(dial tone humming)

(phone ringing)

- Hello.

- [Brad] Coach, what are you doing?

- (yawning) Who is this?

- This is Brad.

Are you sitting down?

We found our man.

- [Bexler] What?

- A five-eight point guard from somewhere up north.

- Five-eight?

(chuckling) That's a proctologist for our guys,

not a point guard. (yawning)

- Trust me, coach, Henry's on his way up there now.

You sound tired.

Why don't you try and get some sleep?

(Bexler grumbling)

(dial tone humming)

All right.

(energetic music)

- [Guard] A little early today aren't you, Mr. Johnson?

- I sure am.

It's gonna be a great day.

I'm getting a new player.

All right!

(keys clacking)

- [Delphi] Enter correct code.

Oh no, not you again.

- How do you know?

- [Delphi] I never forget a touch.

- Hey, I'm impressed.

- [Delphi] Not to mention your unorthodox methods

of seeking information.

- Well, for your information, we found our man without you.

(energetic music)

Hello, Henry, how's New Hampshire?

- [Henry] Just great.

23, chance of snow.

- Is my package set for delivery?

- [Henry] I found Terry Williams, if that's what you mean.

Listen, Brad, we have a problem on our hands.

- No you don't, Henry.

You have a blank check, you have Terry Williams,

and you have until 10 a.m. tomorrow to get back.

What more could you want?

- [Henry] That's true, Brad, but-

- Uh-uh, Henry, no buts, no problems, got it?

- [Henry] But, Brad-

- Just do it.

Goodbye, Henry.

Pour more champagne, quickly.

They'll be here any minute.

- [Mary] Brad, they just arrived.

- Hold them a second, Mary.

Well, are we all set?

- Ah, a toast to our success.

- Send them in, Mary.

- Ladies and gentlemen,

to our newest secret weapon, Terry Williams.

- [All] Hear, hear, hear.

(ominous music)

- Hi.

- She's a girl.

- Calm down, coach, you haven't even seen her play yet.

- Well, how do you think the other guys are gonna react?

She can't even look them in the eye, for crying out loud.

What's got into you anyway?

You never used to bother me before.

Whatever happened to let the coaches coach

and let the players play?

- I still believe that.

But this is a business move.

I'm listening to the computers.

- Yeah?

Well my wife listens to palm readers,

but she never had a cockamamie idea like this.

- It's not an idea, it's a fact.

Computers have taken me to the top of every other business

I've been involved in.

And I think I'm doing all right.

Did you know I am one of the richest men in the world?

- This isn't just another business,

BJ, and you should know that by now.

This business is people and egos.

And more than that, it's emotions.

And no machine I've ever seen can understand emotions.

- Look, coach, we have the formula to win the title.

The championship of the world.

I put my faith in this formula.

And all you've gotta do is plug our people into it.

And when it clicks, everything goes according to plan,

just like we saw on Doc Alvins' screen.

We win the title.

- Brad, you've gotta be careful with formulas.

You don't mix the wrong things together, because if you do,

the whole damn thing can blow up in your face.

(all shouting)

(whistle blowing)

Okay, guys.

This young lady's gonna be working out with us for awhile.

I want you to take it easy on her, no rough stuff.

Give her the ball every once in awhile, make her feel good.

Huh, all right?

Good.

Let's hit the woods.

(all shouting)

- I want her in the game tomorrow night.

You gonna tell Davis?

- Not me, this is your party.

(all chattering)

- I have not seen this much excitement

since the pope came to town.

Every reporter in the city must be here tonight.

- Right you are, Vern, everybody wants to see

what all the talk is about.

We've heard about it in the streets all day,

the introduction of a woman into the fraternal order

of professional basketball.

- It was a last minute announcement, Alan,

that Brad Johnson chose to make.

- You know, it'll be interesting to see

how the basketball public in general

reacts to this announcement,

but we will find out quite shortly how the fans here

at Lowe's feel about it when the starting lineups

are introduced.

This could very well set an

across the board change throughout the league.

- [Vern] No one knows why it is that women

have never been inducted into pro ball before,

whether it's the weaker sex stigma

that people feel they just don't fill the bill,

or some people might think just because they're women,

they simply don't belong.

Well, all that's moot now because here comes

the Dallas team with the first lady

of professional basketball, Terry Williams.

(crowd cheering)

Correct me if I'm wrong, Alan,

but this is quite a favorable reception.

- [Alan] I'd say so, Vern, but more of a circus atmosphere.

- [Vern] The Dallas crowd has always been known

to love their team,

but I have never heard wolf whistles before.

- [Alan] It seems the male fans think she's kind of cute.

This Dallas team is having its way tonight.

Everything they do on the court seems to work

as they continue to build the lead.

Maybe the surprise addition of Terry Williams

to the roster was, if nothing else, a good luck charm.

But other than that contribution, she has only helped

the coaching staff hold

down the bench. - Summers will inbounds

for Dallas.

He gets it into Remmel at half court.

Remmel goes down the right side lane,

back out to Summers, and now we have a whistle underneath.

- Williams, hit the woods for Davis.

- Timeout, Dallas leads by 21

with 1:30 remaining in the game.

Well, folks, here it is, the moment you've been waiting for.

Terry Williams takes the floor for Chip Davis.

Maybe you thought she really wasn't going to play.

Maybe this was some sort of gimmick

or something to boost attendance.

But here she is, live and in person, and here we go.

(whistle blowing)

Summers will inbound for Dallas.

He gets the inbound pass for Remmel.

Williams is wide open under the basket.

Remmel right baseline corner to Skelly.

Again, Williams is wide open,

it's as though they don't see her.

- Time.

This isn't one on one, folks.

You're a team and she's a team member.

Now you guys cut out this crap

or every damn one of you will stay here

while a bunch of rookies go to Utah this weekend.

Give Terry the ball when she's open.

You got it?

Good, now get out there.

(whistle blowing)

- [Alan] Williams will inbound for Dallas.

She gets it into Remmel, right back to Williams.

On the left side to Ford, back to Williams again.

Now Williams at the top of the lane

to Summers back to Williams.

- Timeout. - Dallas calls timeout.

(crowd cheering)

- Let's keep this brief, I don't ever again wanna see

what I saw out there last night.

You're paid to coach our team against the opposing team,

not against itself, clear?

- Brad, I had absolutely nothing to do with any of that.

I told them to give her the ball, but you saw what happened.

Let's be realistic, man, you can't expect them to play

with her like she's been there the whole time.

Davis is a superstar and no woman can come

in off the street and take his place.

No way, the team just won't buy it.

- I thought you'd at least give this a chance.

That fiasco last night wasn't a true test

of what she can do.

It was nine against one.

- I'm not the problem, the team is the problem.

- Fine.

Then tell the team that I have a contract

with each and every one of them

and that contract says they play.

And if they don't play with her, the contract is broken.

The money stops.

I'll hang them out to dry.

- Then they'll yell trade.

- [Brad] Fine, let them yell.

They'll starve to death before I trade a single one of them.

- Brad, she isn't dumb, you know.

Listen, Brad, have you considered how she feels?

She knows no one on that team respects her,

even the fans don't believe she's real.

You heard that last night.

They didn't go to see a ballgame,

they came to see a freak show.

The six-legged calf, or the world's smallest person.

It's the same thing.

It's not fair to put her through that.

(somber music)

- [Alan] Williams will bring the ball down across half court

to set up for Dallas at the top of the lane.

On the right side, DeMackey, out front to Remmel.

Remmel on the left side to Williams.

She puts up the short shot and misses it.

Rebound down to Dell for Atlanta.

Wiley brings it down court to set up the play.

Drives inside, shoots, and gets two for Atlanta.

(crowd cheering)

It's Williams at the top of the key for Dallas.

Now LaFrance shoves Williams and Willis Ford

goes after LaFrance.

The Dallas bench unloads

and we've got a free-for-all on the floor.

The officials trying to separate everybody,

but it's a mess out there.

Back to action, Steve Peckle inbounds it for Atlanta.

To Dexter at the top, on the left side to LaFrance,

and he is flagrantly fouled by Skelly.

So LaFrance will go to the line to shoot two for Atlanta.

LaFrance, a high percentage free throw shooter for Atlanta,

having trouble as of late.

Here he is with the first shot.

It's off the back of the rim.

And now he'll have opportunity for two.

Vern, I tell you what,

I think things are starting to get out of hand.

Even with Dexter especially, he's going out of his way

to intimidate Terry.

Here's the second shot from LaFrance and he misses it.

Skelly down with the rebound.

Out to Williams.

Williams will bring it down for Dallas across the timeline.

Looking on the right side.

And she passes it to Ford.

Ford drives, shoots, and scores.

And there's two for Dallas.

Again, Peckle inbounds it for Atlanta

as they bring it down court.

Now they get it to the top of the lane to LaFrance.

LaFrance a bounce pass underneath to Wiley.

All alone underneath, he shoots and scores two for Atlanta.

And now it'll be Williams and Skelly to bring it down court

once again for Dallas.

At the top of the lane on the right side to Ford,

but Dexter goes over his back, it's knocked loose.

Here comes LaFrance.

LaFrance drives, Dexter underneath, he tries to put it up,

he steps out of bounds when he puts it up.

The officials don't call it, he misses the shot.

Here comes Remmel for Dallas.

On the left side, underneath,

Mackey, Mackey shoots in two for Dallas.

A whistle on the play

and this time it'll be against Atlanta.

Wiley on the right side at the top of the lane to LaFrance.

LaFrance looking underneath and oh my,

Williams catches an elbow from Dexter.

And Dirty Dexter of Atlanta as they call him

knocked Williams to the floor.

Now Williams is going after Dexter.

She's on his back.

It's a free-for-all out on the floor.

The bench is up for Dallas.

- [Terry] If you ever try that again,

I'll break your goddamn arm.

Never ever try that again, mister.

- [Referee] You're out of the game.

- [Alan] And now Williams has been ejected from the game.

Williams was knocked to the floor in the backcourt

by Dirty Dexter, as they call him in Atlanta.

And then Williams went after Dexter,

and now Williams is ejected from the game.

Bexler is irate over the situation.

What a feud, Vern.

(crowd cheering)

And now Williams is leaving the court

as the fans give her a standing ovation.

(somber music)

- Well, I guess I should tell you

you played a good game, huh?

- Hardly.

How much is a fine for an ejection?

- Don't worry about that, I'll pay for it this time.

The guy had it coming.

But you did gain a lot of respect out there tonight.

So don't go getting discouraged on me, okay?

After all, I am your greatest fan.

- Don't worry about me, I'm a survivor.

But I am kinda scared out there, though.

Being the only girl and everything.

Willis was the only guy who said a word to me

after the game.

None of the others accept me.

- Well, what did Willis have to say?

- Big deal.

He asked me if I wanted to arm wrestle.

- Well, for Willis that is a big deal.

Look, he must think a lot of you.

Things will come along slow, but they will come along.

It's just a matter of time now.

Once the team gets their attitude right,

they'll see what you can do together.

You'll win the title.

Just don't give up on me.

- Not this kid.

You'll have to fire me or retire me, but I'm not gonna quit.

- Good.

Keep that outlook and I'll see your name in lights.

And after tonight, Coach Bexler will use you a lot more too.

He knows you can handle the ball now.

Okay, Mary, send him in.

Have a seat, Davis.

So, what's on your mind?

- Well, she's about five-nine, 130 pounds,

and she's been seeing more action lately than I do.

I thought this was just an experiment,

at least that's what you told me the other day.

- Relax, Chip, it is an experiment.

- Well, then I guess I don't understand your logic.

Look, if you have a player who just flat beats me out

for my position, then that's one thing.

But you have a woman out there that I can outshoot,

outrun, and literally beat to death on the court.

Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to know the real reason

behind this.

I think you owe me that much, anyway.

(all chattering)

- 15 seconds as Dallas inbounds the ball to Remmel.

He takes it down court and into Ford.

And back out to Remmel as Dallas sets

for what should be the final shot of the game.

Six seconds, five, Remmel to Williams in the corner.

Two, one, it's good.

(buzzer buzzing)

And Dallas rallies to beat Boston with a last second shot

by Terry Williams who has really come into her own

in the past week.

Terry will be our guest along with Willis Ford

on the wrap-up show following our broadcast.

The final score, Dallas 129, Boston 127.

- A lot of rebounds, good game.

Way to go, kiddo, great game.

- Thank you, Mr. Johnson.

- You want to do me a favor for once and call me Brad?

I'm not your father, you know.

Hey listen, what are you doing for dinner?

- Nothing, Mr. Brad.

- Good.

Put on your Sunday best,

because we're gonna do it up tonight.

I'll pick you up at seven, okay?

Great.

(romantic music)

(sighing) That game was a work of art,

and you were the centerpiece.

- Thank you very much.

- A toast to the newest professional basketball player

in Dallas.

- Do you always do this?

- What, eat?

- Wine and dine and your players after you've kissed them.

- What?

I never kiss my players.

- You kissed me, tonight, after the game.

Don't you remember?

- I guess not.

But I can safely say you are the first player

I've ever kissed.

I guess in all the excitement I kind of lost control.

- Do you do that often?

Lose your control?

- No, not often.

- Well, the next time you do, be sure and let me know.

I'd like to be there.

- [Announcer] And now the starting lineup for Dallas.

At seven-one, center Willis Ford.

(crowd cheering)

At five-11, Leonard Wells.

(crowd cheering)

Six-four forward, Paul Remmel.

(crowd cheering)

Six-six guard, John Andrews.

(crowd cheering)

And now making her fourth start for Dallas,

it's five-nine point guard, Terry Williams.

(crowd cheering)

- [Alan] I believe Terry Williams is beginning to work out.

Listen to that crowd, the fans love it.

Bexler's happy, Brad Johnson's happy,

in fact I think the only person in the whole city

who's not pleased about this matter is Chip Davis.

(upbeat music)

- Good morning, Chip.

- Good morning.

Good morning.

- That's my dad.

- Hi. - Hi.

(upbeat music continues)

(upbeat music continues)

- Terry, what a surprise.

Why are you up so early?

- I just wanted you to know how I feel

about my greatest fan.

- You didn't have to.

I mean, you shouldn't have.

God, I'm not even dressed.

Um, you didn't have to come so early, you know.

Why don't you go home and get some sleep?

- I don't wanna get some sleep.

I want to tell you that you're something special

to me, real special.

I was upset when I couldn't get

in touch with you last night.

And I just hoped we could sit and talk for awhile.

- I really appreciate your feelings and all,

but it's sort of a bad time.

You see, I-

- Brad, who is it?

- Yeah, Brad, who is it?

(somber music)

- [Brad] Hi, sugar.

- [Terry] Don't call me sugar.

- [Brad] What are you upset about?

I'm sorry about the little confusion.

- [Terry] Confusion, is that what you call it?

You let me make a complete ass of myself.

- [Brad] Terry, let me explain--

- [Terry] No, there's nothing to explain.

You play up with me, lead me on,

make me feel like someone special,

that you really care for me.

- [Brad] I do care about you.

- [Terry] Sure you do, just like you care

about everything else you own.

Your damn computer company, your damn basketball team,

and all your damn ass-kissing employees

who follow you around saying, yes sir, no sir.

Well, buster, you sure as hell don't own me.

- And I don't wanna own you.

What do you expect of me?

You're wrong about all of this.

Terry, wait.

That girl means nothing to me.

- Neither do I.

From now on, Mr. Johnson, I play basketball

under contract for your team.

That's all, period.

So the next time you wanna kiss one of your players,

make sure it's Willis or one of the other guys,

not this kid.

- Women.

- Dad, why aren't you playing anymore?

Dad, Johnny's big brother said you got beat off.

- It's beat out, and it did not happen to your father.

- Good afternoon.

Today, I'm announcing that in view of a recent trend

in player personnel developments,

I am demanding to be traded by the Dallas franchise.

Mr. Johnson has brought in a player totally inexperienced

in professional basketball and has her starting in my place.

I've come too far and worked way too hard

to have someone mess with my career.

There's the statement, ladies and gentlemen.

If you have any questions I'll try

to answer them at this time.

- Chip, you are obviously a better player compared

to Terry Williams, what in your opinion

could possibly be the explanation for the current situation?

- Maybe her best move is off the court,

if you know what I mean.

- Are you suggesting that Johnson

has ulterior motives in making the change?

- I'm not suggesting it, I'm stating it as a matter of fact.

- Would you care to elaborate on that?

- You guys are the reporters, look into it.

It's not that hard to see.

- Chip, is all this just

because you oppose women in professional sports?

- Look, I don't have anything

against women playing basketball, football, or even boxing.

The only feeling I have towards women

is that they should earn their position like anybody else.

Then there's no legitimate gripe.

But in this case, that is simply not true.

Every team in the league will tell you

that I'm a much better player than Terry Williams.

If y'all excuse me, I think that'll be all for now.

Thank you.

- Amos, can we have a few words with the camera?

- Sure.

- Stand right there.

We'll look off that way, okay?

- Mommy, daddy's on TV.

- Amos, you've been accused of being,

oh shall I say, overly aggressive

almost to the point of being brutal on the court.

What's your reaction to these accusations?

- Well, you know, I'm a team player,

and I'm gonna give 110% every game.

So that means that any player that tries

to make a play on me, he's gonna remember old Amos

the next trip down court.

I think my play is aggressive.

And if those people who complain about it can't take it,

then they should, you know, maybe not play the game.

Take up needlepoint or something.

- Amos, you're gonna be guarding against a player

by the name of Terry Williams tonight.

Now, will her being a woman have any influence

on your intense style of play?

- Well, we all know that this has been kind of a,

(clearing throat) a man's sport for a long time, you know?

And I'm not gonna do her any favors if she tries

to invade my territory.

She needs to know this so she doesn't get hurt,

catch an elbow or something.

- He better not hurt that lady

or he'll be cooking dinner for himself.

- No favors from Amos Washington.

- Terry Williams for Dallas, a pass behind the back,

and there's Amos Washington, who's playing

some of that aggressive style he talked about earlier, Vern.

Dallas on the right side with the shot,

and it's off the rim and the rebound down to Denver.

Out to Amos Washington.

Washington now brings it down court.

Williams knocks it away, gets it back

and breaks for the basket.

Williams on the steal up with the layup,

no she takes a hard fall with not just a little help

from Mr. Amos Washington.

Vern, there's an example of that aggressive play

Amos was telling us about before the game.

Willis Ford's coming over towards the score table.

He wants to to see the replay, Vern.

Now Willis Ford goes after Amos.

(all shouting) (upbeat music)

The trainer's crew is with Williams now,

and unbelievably she is ignoring them

and moving to the foul line.

Williams is at the line to shoot the free throw.

She doesn't look too stable to me, Vern.

Here's the shot, it's off the rim

and the rebound down to Denver.

Out to Washington.

Washington underneath the broils.

He puts it up and it's two for Denver.

Now, Williams will bring it down court

and she looks like she's just

a little bit woozy to me, Vern.

She's having a tough time bringing it down court.

Across half court, on the right side, off her knee,

and Williams is down on the floor and out for the count.

(whistle blowing)

I don't see her moving, Vern.

The trainers are gonna come out and look her over.

Undoubtedly, this is from the hit she took from Washington.

Again I stress, Vern, I don't see her moving.

(upbeat music continues)

- What does it look like?

- A possible concussion.

Maybe a fracture.

We'll need a stretcher and an ambulance right away.

- We're waiting for the word

on the status of Terry Williams.

- We did see a trainer run into the locker room,

but other than that we've got nothing to go on.

It looks pretty serious.

- They have a stretcher coming out now,

Vern, and you never like to see that.

From the replay, there was a nasty blow to the head.

We certainly don't wanna speculate any further than that.

They're placing Williams onto the stretcher now

and she's still unconscious.

I hope this isn't as serious as it looks like it's gonna be.

(all chattering)

Chip Davis is checking into the game for Terry now.

- Brad Johnson, owner of the team,

has got his coat and is walking this way.

Mr. Johnson?

Brad, may we ask what the status

of Terry Williams is at this time, please?

- The team doctor says that it's a possible concussion,

but we can't say anything else right now.

- [Vern] I see you have your coat.

Are you going to the hospital now?

- Well, of course.

As you can imagine, we're greatly concerned.

- Would you leave the game for any of your players,

say Davis, or is there truth to the rumor

of a personal relationship between you and Williams?

- That's not the point, Alan.

Of course, she has the best of care,

but after all, she is a girl.

- You keep pointing that out.

I'm beginning to believe there

is possible basis to the rumors.

Are you prepared to admit that Terry Williams

is not just another player to you?

- All my players are special.

- Special enough to take you away

from your team at a time like this?

(horn blowing)

- I guess not.

(soft music)

- [Announcer] Dr. Vernstein, Dr. Vernstein, inspection 78.

- Excuse me, I was told that Terry Williams

was a patient in intensive care

and I just came from there and the nurse told me

she's been moved.

- Yes, sir, Ms. Williams has been moved

to our special care unit.

Dr. Simmons is in with her right now

and has left strict instructions that she not be disturbed.

Are you related to the patient?

- Not really.

What room is she in?

- [Recept] 408 right there.

But as I told you, she's not to be disturbed.

- [Announcer] Doctor Alexander, Doctor Alexander.

- [Brad] How is she, doctor?

- Her condition is serious.

However, she's in no immediate danger.

I've moved her out of ICU,

but she'll have to stay here another couple

of weeks for close observation.

- Well, how soon before I can see her?

- Maybe tomorrow.

Listen, Brad, I know you've got a lot on your mind,

but you know, she's gonna need a place to stay

and somebody to take care of her when she gets released.

- Well, I'll work on that for you, Doctor.

Thanks again.

- [Announcer] Doctor Fair, Doctor Fair,

you're needed in emergency ward number four.

(soft music)

Doctor Selebus, please answer assistance number 75.

- [Amos] Well, we all know that this has been kind of a,

(clearing throat) a man's sport for a long time,

and I'm not gonna do her

any favors if she tries to invade my territory.

She needs to know this so she doesn't get hurt,

catch an elbow or something.

No favors from Amos Washington.

- Yeah, this is Brad.

I want you to schedule me a press conference

for 10:30 tomorrow.

I don't care, just do it.

(somber music)

- [Amos] If any player tries to make a play on me,

they're gonna know they went up against old Amos.

- Ladies, gentlemen, I have a short announcement to make,

and then I'll answer questions afterwards.

(sighing) I will take legal action against Amos Washington

and the Denver franchise.

I am also announcing the retirement of Terry Williams.

Her injuries are such that it is unlikely

she'll play basketball for Dallas the rest of this season.

And the chance for another injury

is too great in the league today.

This is a sad indictment on the condition of the league

when one player can deliberately end the career of another

in what is supposed to be a non-contact sport.

There is no place for that in professional basketball,

but there are no apparent plans to review

and correct the rules now existing.

Questions.

- Mr. Johnson, your attitude

towards the league seems very bitter.

Is it?

- No, but some things do need changing.

- Could you be more specific?

- I have stated to members of the press in the past

that winning was my only objective in any project.

I feel as a team that we have partially achieved

that objective, the only thing missing is the trophy.

And with Terry Williams, we were beginning to see the light

at the end of the tunnel.

It turns out that that light was an oncoming freight train

named Amos Washington.

And now it looks like the trophy has slipped away again.

- I saw your press conference.

Sounds like you're giving up on the team.

Might you be prepared to put a price tag on it?

- This might be the time.

- [Board Member] Are you serious?

- Serious enough to make you a helluva price.

It's probably worth between 23 and 25 million.

Since it's you, I'll let it go for 30.

- Thanks, you're a good friend of mine too.

- You know how I've always felt about winning.

But confidentially, that's not the reason

that I'd consider it right now.

- Well, what might it be then?

- Terry was seriously hurt.

I'm not gonna allow her to continue and risk further injury.

I care too much about her.

I have other plans for her.

(crickets chirping)

- It is rumored that the Dallas basketball team

may be up for sale.

We tend to believe this because we are unable

to get a statement from Bradley Johnson, owner of that team.

Sources tell us that the team is

on the block for a cool $30 million.

So whatever Mr. Johnson is doing right now

must be more important than making money.

- Hi, I brought those magazines you wanted.

Feeling better?

So, how's your day?

What's going on?

Why are you acting like this?

What are you so mad about?

- Me?

Mad?

Oh, Brad, don't be silly.

How could you think that?

No, actually I'm just trying to figure out

when to have my press conference.

- Press conference?

What press conference?

- The one where I announce you're retiring from CompuSearch.

- Since when am I retiring from anything?

- Since the day you retired me from basketball.

I oughta break your damn legs.

- What are you so worked up about?

- How dare you make career decisions for me.

You brought me here to play basketball.

- I did it for your own good and for mine.

I don't want to see you hurt again.

- Oh, did you now?

Well, pardon me for not thanking you

from the bottom of my heart.

- Terry.

Terry, I know this may sound crazy,

but I feel differently about you.

You can't imagine how I felt when I saw you hit that floor.

Or them carrying you off on a stretcher.

Or the needles in your arms.

Or your head all wrapped up.

I don't know.

I just don't want to see you hurt again, ever.

And I'll do anything I can to keep that from happening.

Even if it means forcing you into retirement

or selling the team.

(sighing) And now with the way that I...

(soft music)

- What?

I couldn't hear you.

Since I'm on the injured reserve already

let's just wait till next season to talk about this.

Meanwhile, the team still has an excellent shot

at the title.

And I still believe they can win without me.

So you can have the team and I'll stay

on the injured reserve for the rest of the year.

That way we can get what we both want.

I'm talking about a long-term partnership.

- I've got a five year contract with the team already-

- I'm not talking about that either.

(romantic music)

- It is a carnival atmosphere here at Lowe's Arena,

the site of the final chapter of the basketball season.

The pre-season picks had Los Angeles

in the driver seat all the way to this game.

But nobody, including yours truly,

pictured Dallas battling it out for the championship.

Unplug your phones, folks, because you won't

wanna be disturbed if this game goes as well

as the previous six have.

- [Alan] We're just about set for the opening tip-off

as referee Curt Reisenberg is positioning the players.

- [Vern] That's why we play the ballgame, Alan.

- [Alan] That's right, Vern.

(upbeat music)

And the opening tip will belong to White of Los Angeles.

White off the ringer, puts up an eight footer.

Good for the first bucket of the game.

And a long pass to Davis, and Davis slams it home for two.

And now LA will bring it down court

by way of White, across half court to the top of the lane.

Now down the right side.

And the ball goes out of bounds.

Remmel brings it across half court

and comes underneath of Skelly.

Back out to Remmel on the right wing.

He drives inside, puts it up, misses the bucket.

Gets the tip, and it goes back up by way of Hall now.

Out front to Skelly and Skelly gets two for Dallas.

It'll be Ringer bringing it down court for Los Angeles.

Inside the lane, he passes it up.

(upbeat music continues)

(horn buzzing)

- At halftime of what may be the greatest game

I've ever seen, the score is tied at 62.

♪ Something's in the air ♪

♪ Something's in the air ♪

- Commissioner, when you first received

the Dallas petition for a pro team, what were your thoughts?

Did you ever think that in just five short years

this model franchise would be playing mighty Los Angeles

for the title?

- I knew at the time that Dallas was interested

in basketball with all the fine college ball they play here.

And I was happy to see them take the chance.

As for the second question, I remember the first time

I met the Dallas owner, Brad Johnson, and I was impressed

with his energy and enthusiasm.

So, I'm not at all surprised to see them here.

- Thank you, commissioner, for being our guest.

Want to venture a prediction?

- Oh no, not me, Alan, it's too close to call.

(crowd cheering)

- Alan, as we begin the second half,

the glaring factor for Dallas is the point guard

Chip Davis and those four fouls.

It's been a weight on the ballgame so far,

but I look for a letdown from Dallas defensively

because of the foul situation.

- Los Angeles has always carried the the third quarter,

so is their trademark.

But Dallas, at least to this point in the series,

has managed to keep those to a minimum.

Los Angeles up by seven.

White drives, whistle, that may be Davis.

It was a picky call, but no matter.

Chip Davis has picked up foul number five.

I'm sure this fifth foul has brought a lot of concern

to the Dallas fans and you can certainly see it

in the faces on the Dallas bench.

Chip Davis in foul trouble at this juncture of the game

can be devastating.

- Well, Alan, I have to give the overall third quarter

to Los Angeles, and that's largely due to their ability

to keep the officials interested in Chip Davis.

If Dallas has any hope of winning this game,

he can not commit another foul.

- Dallas is a good team, and though being

without a true point guard will hinder their chances,

we are by no means talking about a one man team.

Back with the fourth quarter after this.

They don't stand a chance in hell if he fouls out.

Davis still a factor, LA up by nine and four minutes left.

- We may need to have an owner's meeting real soon, partner.

- What?

- We may need to have an owner's meeting, if Chip fouls out.

- [Alan] Davis, Davis in trouble as he goes inside.

There's the whistle.

Ford puts it up again but it won't count.

That may be all for Davis and Dallas.

- We're partners, right?

- Well, I guess I'd say that.

- Good.

Let's make a deal.

- [Alan] And that's it for Chip Davis.

- What are you getting at?

- Well, I figure as partners we should be together

in everything we do.

- That's right.

- Good.

Okay, partner, I want to trade the next three minutes

and 30 seconds for the rest of my life with you.

- And then you'll agree to retire?

- I'll give it up forever,

right after we win the championship.

- Go get 'em.

And be careful.

- [Alan] A true champion, Vern,

you hate to see it end this way

for someone who wanted it so badly.

Well, Dallas doesn't have another true point guard,

so who does Bexler turn to now?

(upbeat music) (crowd cheering)

Oh boy, explosion of emotion.

It's the emergence of Terry Williams

in uniform, ready to play.

What a surprise.

I just saw Coach Bexler get thumbs up from Brad Johnson

to put Williams into the game.

Boy, are we in for a treat.

- [Vern] Well, Dallas has got to feel good,

but they still have a nine point hill to climb

and very little time, Alan.

- [Alan] And now LA will drive with just over three minutes

and a nine point lead on the right side Ringer

lays it up, misses the shot, it's out of bounds

off of Ringer, it'll be Dallas ball underneath.

Quickly, Williams has brought Dallas back

within four points.

What a spark of life she's added to this Dallas team.

Williams with the ball, she'll drive it herself,

and Williams scores two for Dallas.

And now it'll be LA on the move again

with Ringer at the top of the lane.

Stolen by Ford for Dallas, down at the other end,

here comes Dallas and Skelly slams it home for two.

With just over one minute to go, here's LA.

LA drives in, misses the shot.

The rebound down to Ford.

Here comes the Ford-Williams show.

Williams drives inside the land to Ford

and he slams it for Dallas.

It's now just 40 seconds to go.

Here's LA and Ringer at the lane on the left side.

The block they're in, he gets the long shot

off the backboard.

And here comes Williams at the other end.

She drives and Williams brings Dallas back within one.

There's a 12 second game now to go.

Los Angeles only has to keep the ball

out of the hands of Terry Williams.

(crowd cheering)

Ford with the steal.

(crowd cheering)

Back to Williams.

Williams at the other end.

A slam.

The game is over.

Dallas wins by one point.

(buzzer blares)

(crowd cheering and shouting)

(crowd cheering)

- Yeah, okay, we got that trophy, yeah.

All right, yeah, okay.

Wow.

- All right, hold it down.

Brad, I think you oughta have this, huh?

(crowd cheering)

- Hold on a minute.

I've just been told that Terry Williams

was chosen the most valuable player for the game.

(crowd cheering)

I have to announce that Terry Williams

and I will be married the day after tomorrow.

(crowd cheering)

It'll be uncertain whether or not she'll be

with the team next year.

Whoa whoa whoa.

However, let's hear a championship round of applause

for Terry Williams,

the greatest woman basketball player ever.

(crowd cheering)

- [Terry] What on earth are you watching?

- Sh, it's wrestling.

Watch this.

It's really quite interesting.

- [Terry] I can't believe you're so involved with this.

- [Brad] Well, since we have lost our interest

in basketball,

I've been keeping an eye on this sport.

Have you been keeping up with everything

that's been going on in the wrestling world lately?

- [Terry] Brad, please don't tell me

you're gonna buy a wrestling team.

- [Brad] Well, I didn't say that.

But there is a good opportunity

for an enterprising couple like us.

- [Terry] You mean for yourself, partner.

I'm not wrestling for anyone.

- [Brad] Don't say that.

There's a lot to be said for wrestling.

As a matter of fact, I've been working

on a couple of holds I'd like to show you.

(both giggling)

There, that's not so bad, is it?

- [Terry] Not bad at all.

- [Brad] I got you now.

You'll never get out.

- [Terry] You're right, there's a lot to be said

for this wrestling after all.

- [Brad] You ain't seen nothing yet.

(upbeat music)

(both laughing)
