Arliss (narrating):
For most of us,
3
00:00:13,813 --> 00:00:15,983
the dream of
becoming a champion,
4
00:00:16,049 --> 00:00:18,349
remains a fantasy,

Arliss (narrating): The average career
span of a professional basketball player
28
00:01:29,289 --> 00:01:31,689
is only 4.6 years.
29
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:34,188
The window of opportunity
for earning power
30
00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:35,730
is very brief.
31
00:01:35,795 --> 00:01:38,025
On top of all this,
professional sport's owners
32
00:01:38,097 --> 00:01:40,297
have imposed a limit
on how much money
33
00:01:40,366 --> 00:01:41,496
these artists can earn.
34
00:01:41,568 --> 00:01:43,938
This is known as
"the salary cap".
35
00:01:45,572 --> 00:01:47,212
Jimmy Austin,
36
00:01:47,273 --> 00:01:48,683
how's the king of the swing men?
37
00:01:48,741 --> 00:01:49,911
Unemployed,
38
00:01:49,976 --> 00:01:51,576
unless you're here
to tell me I'm not.
39
00:01:51,644 --> 00:01:54,614
Well, I can't say for certain,
40
00:01:54,681 --> 00:01:56,781
but I got a meeting
with Frank Potts today
41
00:01:56,849 --> 00:01:58,379
and I'm just gonna
have to convince him
42
00:01:58,451 --> 00:02:01,121
that you are the missing piece
of his championship puzzle.
43
00:02:01,187 --> 00:02:03,717
You and that sweet, sweet shot.
44
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:06,490
Sweet enough to
make Frank Potts smile?
45
00:02:06,559 --> 00:02:08,759
Nothing makes Frank Potts smile.
46
00:02:08,828 --> 00:02:10,698
It says "tight-ass"
on his business card.
47
00:02:10,763 --> 00:02:13,373
But he likes you,
I'll make it happen.
48
00:02:13,433 --> 00:02:14,933
Arliss, I know you will.
49
00:02:15,001 --> 00:02:17,371
It's just the season
is five weeks away.
50
00:02:17,437 --> 00:02:20,237
And I've never gone this
long without a contract.
51
00:02:20,306 --> 00:02:23,136
And you're worried that
you're getting old and slow,
52
00:02:23,209 --> 00:02:24,209
and no team wants you.
53
00:02:24,277 --> 00:02:25,347
Something like that.
54
00:02:25,411 --> 00:02:27,851
Well, you're lucky, I
specialize in old and slow.
55
00:02:27,914 --> 00:02:29,924
Yeah, I know, that's
why I signed with you.
56
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:31,123

57
00:02:31,118 --> 00:02:32,248
(phone ringing)
58
00:02:32,318 --> 00:02:33,918
Excuse me.
59
00:02:35,521 --> 00:02:36,891
It's for you.
60
00:02:36,956 --> 00:02:38,016
For me?
61
00:02:38,091 --> 00:02:39,431
Hello.
62
00:02:39,492 --> 00:02:41,432
There's nobody there,
what do you mean?
63
00:02:41,494 --> 00:02:43,304
I mean, it's for you...
64
00:02:43,363 --> 00:02:45,103
from me, Arliss Michaels.
65
00:02:45,164 --> 00:02:46,574
Number one on
your speed dialing,
66
00:02:46,633 --> 00:02:47,873
number one in your heart.
67
00:02:47,934 --> 00:02:49,204
Thanks, man.
68
00:02:49,268 --> 00:02:51,138
Relax, Potts is gonna love you.
69
00:02:51,204 --> 00:02:53,274
And why not? You've
got the goods. You're a...
70
00:02:53,339 --> 00:02:56,009
local kid, a
selfless team player
71
00:02:56,075 --> 00:02:58,745
who is giving you the
chance to sign him for...
72
00:02:58,811 --> 00:03:01,611
And only because
he is a local kid...
73
00:03:01,681 --> 00:03:03,621
Two and a half million a year.
74
00:03:03,683 --> 00:03:06,193
We love Jimmy, we'd
love to bring him here.
75
00:03:06,252 --> 00:03:07,952
But I gotta ask
you one question.
76
00:03:08,021 --> 00:03:10,761
- What's that?
- Where in the fuck's the money coming from?
77
00:03:10,823 --> 00:03:13,363
I got no room under
the salary cap. Why?
78
00:03:13,426 --> 00:03:15,286
Because a certain Damian Niles
79
00:03:15,361 --> 00:03:17,031
is getting 38% of it.
80
00:03:17,096 --> 00:03:18,456
Wait a second.
81
00:03:18,531 --> 00:03:21,831
Are you saying that Damian
Niles isn't earning his salary?
82
00:03:21,901 --> 00:03:24,171
No. Damian Niles is a superstar.
83
00:03:24,237 --> 00:03:27,167
No, no, Damian Niles
is a white superstar.
84
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,610
How many of them are there?
85
00:03:28,675 --> 00:03:30,415
Besides, we're not
talking about Damian Niles,
86
00:03:30,443 --> 00:03:31,743
we're talking
about Jimmy Austin.
87
00:03:31,811 --> 00:03:33,451
Yeah, but you see,
I got a little problem.
88
00:03:33,513 --> 00:03:36,883
First, if you want us to
sign your client Jimmy,
89
00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:39,789
then your client Damian's
gonna have to defer some dough.
90
00:03:39,852 --> 00:03:41,422
And I mean a lot of dough...
91
00:03:41,487 --> 00:03:42,957
to keep us under the salary cap.
92
00:03:43,022 --> 00:03:45,832
Well, then I'm gonna
want a nice fat extension,
93
00:03:45,892 --> 00:03:48,192
say four years at
Shaq type numbers.
94
00:03:48,261 --> 00:03:49,901
I knew you'd say that.
95
00:03:49,962 --> 00:03:51,372
Which is where my
little problem comes in.
96
00:03:51,397 --> 00:03:52,627
Because there ain't no way
97
00:03:52,699 --> 00:03:54,579
that I'm gonna make a
commitment to a kid like that
98
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,040
who's trying to
fucking kill himself.
99
00:03:57,103 --> 00:03:59,773
Damian kill himself?
100
00:03:59,839 --> 00:04:01,119
I don't know what
you're talking about.
101
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:03,580
I'm talking about driving
Formula-One race cars,
102
00:04:03,643 --> 00:04:05,043
jumping out of airplanes,
103
00:04:05,111 --> 00:04:06,961
going on SWAT team raids!
104
00:04:06,964 --> 00:04:08,824
He's 26-years-old, he's a kid!
105
00:04:08,881 --> 00:04:11,481
Hey, personally,
I don't give a fuck
106
00:04:11,551 --> 00:04:13,551
if he wants to break his neck.
107
00:04:13,619 --> 00:04:15,859
But I've shelled out a lot
of my boss' dough for him,
108
00:04:15,922 --> 00:04:18,622
so I want you to have a
chat with that fucking lunatic
109
00:04:18,691 --> 00:04:22,031
and keep him healthy
so we make the playoffs!
110
00:04:22,095 --> 00:04:24,595
I resent you calling
my client a lunatic.
111
00:04:24,664 --> 00:04:26,634
He happens to be an
outstanding young man
112
00:04:26,699 --> 00:04:28,399
with his feet firmly
planted on the ground.
113
00:04:30,303 --> 00:04:33,813
Yahoo...!
114
00:04:35,742 --> 00:04:37,912
Arliss (narrating):
Athletes get a bum rap.
115
00:04:37,977 --> 00:04:39,477
Depicted as egotistical,
116
00:04:39,545 --> 00:04:41,515
- irresponsible spoiled babies.
- (parachute deploys)
117
00:04:41,547 --> 00:04:44,247
Nothing could be
further from the truth.
118
00:04:45,852 --> 00:04:47,392
Whoo!
119
00:04:47,453 --> 00:04:48,793
Yeah, man!
120
00:04:48,855 --> 00:04:51,115
Whoo! Yes!
121
00:04:51,190 --> 00:04:52,890
Whoo!
122
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:56,029
That was like sex
without the lawsuits, bro!
123
00:04:56,095 --> 00:04:58,395
Whoo! I'm gonna go again.
124
00:04:58,464 --> 00:04:59,744
Help me out with
this thing, man.
125
00:04:59,799 --> 00:05:01,069
So, Damian, what do you think?
126
00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:03,444
Deferring some salary could
get Jimmy Austin on the team
127
00:05:03,503 --> 00:05:05,313
which might mean a real
shot at the championship.
128
00:05:05,338 --> 00:05:08,508
I decline to defer and
that's "de" end of it, bro.
129
00:05:08,574 --> 00:05:11,214
Wait, wait, wait, but I can get
you a fat contract extension.
130
00:05:11,277 --> 00:05:13,177
Could be talking Shaq numbers.
131
00:05:13,246 --> 00:05:16,216
Better be. I got just as many
championships as he does.
132
00:05:16,282 --> 00:05:17,782
- (chuckles)
- So, what do you think?
133
00:05:17,850 --> 00:05:19,290
Okay.
134
00:05:19,352 --> 00:05:20,952
You get me an
extension, I'll defer.
135
00:05:21,020 --> 00:05:22,020
Okay!
136
00:05:22,088 --> 00:05:24,958
Now, there is one
other little thing.
137
00:05:25,024 --> 00:05:27,334
They want you to give
up all this daredevil stuff.
138
00:05:29,061 --> 00:05:30,301
They say it's too dangerous.
139
00:05:30,363 --> 00:05:31,763
Bullshit!
140
00:05:31,831 --> 00:05:34,571
This is no more
dangerous than cliff diving
141
00:05:34,634 --> 00:05:36,204
- or bungee jumping!
- Damian!
142
00:05:36,269 --> 00:05:37,269
Fuck 'em!
143
00:05:37,303 --> 00:05:38,943
I always wanted to
be a Laker anyway.
144
00:05:39,005 --> 00:05:40,365
Call Jerry West.
145
00:05:40,439 --> 00:05:44,079
Damian, you make
$8 million a year
146
00:05:44,143 --> 00:05:45,613
in the NBA.
147
00:05:45,678 --> 00:05:48,648
Why risk extreme games?
That's extreme cash.
148
00:05:48,714 --> 00:05:50,724
I'm not giving
this up, bro, man.
149
00:05:50,783 --> 00:05:52,823
This is the only way
I know that I'm alive.
150
00:05:52,885 --> 00:05:55,115
And you're gonna break
your neck trying to prove it!
151
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:56,788
I mean, cliff jumping?
152
00:05:56,856 --> 00:05:59,756
Hang gliding? I mean,
doesn't anything scare you?
153
00:06:01,527 --> 00:06:03,397
I don't much like wolves.
154
00:06:04,463 --> 00:06:05,573
Wolves?
155
00:06:06,599 --> 00:06:07,829
When I was a kid,
156
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:10,340
I was playing with
my dog one day
157
00:06:10,403 --> 00:06:12,443
and a wolf came out of nowhere,
158
00:06:12,505 --> 00:06:14,105
grabbed her,
159
00:06:14,173 --> 00:06:16,843
and I never saw her again.
160
00:06:16,909 --> 00:06:18,509
And whenever I hear a wolf
161
00:06:18,578 --> 00:06:20,478
I think that she's
coming to get me.
162
00:06:23,516 --> 00:06:25,016
Terrible story.
163
00:06:25,084 --> 00:06:27,194
Look, if you're injured
doing any of this stuff
164
00:06:27,253 --> 00:06:28,893
they can suspend your salary.
165
00:06:28,955 --> 00:06:30,915
Don't think they won't!
166
00:06:30,990 --> 00:06:32,120
Listen, bro,
167
00:06:32,191 --> 00:06:34,131
if you're telling me I
can't do this anymore
168
00:06:34,193 --> 00:06:37,033
maybe I better just find
myself another agent.
169
00:06:37,096 --> 00:06:39,026
Did I say that?
I'm not saying that!
170
00:06:39,098 --> 00:06:40,668
In fact I think you
should fuck 'em!
171
00:06:40,733 --> 00:06:41,983
I think you should
go dirt-biking!
172
00:06:42,001 --> 00:06:44,171
You know what I hear
the ultimate extreme is?
173
00:06:44,237 --> 00:06:46,307
Snowmobiling, huh?
Yeah, snowmobiling!
174
00:06:46,372 --> 00:06:48,042
(phone ringing)
175
00:06:48,107 --> 00:06:49,737
Wait, excuse me.
176
00:06:52,845 --> 00:06:54,575
It's for you.
177
00:06:56,315 --> 00:06:57,675
There's nobody there.
178
00:06:57,750 --> 00:06:59,350
I mean, it's for you.
179
00:06:59,418 --> 00:07:01,818
Remember, number
one on your speed dial...
180
00:07:01,888 --> 00:07:05,088
Arliss (narrating): In this
high stakes, ever-changing
181
00:07:05,157 --> 00:07:07,127
worldwide web we live in,
182
00:07:07,193 --> 00:07:10,933
it's imperative to embrace
fresh, bold, new ideas.
183
00:07:10,997 --> 00:07:12,767
The big Middle East?
184
00:07:12,832 --> 00:07:14,472
It's a new basketball league.
185
00:07:14,533 --> 00:07:16,143
They got teams in Tel Aviv,
186
00:07:16,202 --> 00:07:18,702
Damascus, Jerusalem, all over.
187
00:07:18,771 --> 00:07:20,411
I've been schmoozing them.
188
00:07:20,473 --> 00:07:24,283
Long story, short. They wanna
pay top dollar for our clients.
189
00:07:24,343 --> 00:07:26,613
- Our clients who wanna move to Cairo.
- Exactly.
190
00:07:26,679 --> 00:07:28,149
Fellas, this is the man
191
00:07:28,214 --> 00:07:30,354
who's gonna make it all happen.
192
00:07:30,416 --> 00:07:31,826
Arliss Michaels.
193
00:07:31,835 --> 00:07:33,245
A pleasure.
194
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:34,389
Mr. Michaels,
195
00:07:34,453 --> 00:07:37,223
is it true that you do
not validate the parking?
196
00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:39,960
Sorry, afraid not,
company policy.
197
00:07:40,993 --> 00:07:42,663
(speaking Arabic)
198
00:07:44,597 --> 00:07:47,097
Stanley, start going
through Damian's contact.
199
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:49,566
See where we can
start deferring payments.
200
00:07:49,635 --> 00:07:51,865
You talked Van Damme
lite into deferring?
201
00:07:51,938 --> 00:07:54,478
Yeah, assuming we can convince
Potts into giving him an extension.
202
00:07:54,507 --> 00:07:56,777
- Good!
- And be sure we have enough money left for
203
00:07:56,842 --> 00:07:58,442
- What's his name.
- Jimmy Austin.
204
00:07:58,511 --> 00:07:59,511
Uh, yeah, right.
205
00:07:59,578 --> 00:08:01,248
"Sports Illustrated" called.
206
00:08:01,314 --> 00:08:03,354
- Oh, shit, who's been arrested?
- Nobody.
207
00:08:03,416 --> 00:08:04,856
Oh, well, just tell
'em he's a sweet man,
208
00:08:04,884 --> 00:08:06,754
deeply religious,
just misunderstood.
209
00:08:06,819 --> 00:08:08,349
No, they're doing
a story on agents,
210
00:08:08,421 --> 00:08:09,631
and they want to interview you.
211
00:08:09,655 --> 00:08:11,085
Another slanted
story about agents?
212
00:08:11,157 --> 00:08:12,387
Sorry, much too busy.
213
00:08:12,458 --> 00:08:14,958
Oh, well, too bad, it was
a possible cover story.
214
00:08:17,697 --> 00:08:19,697
The salary cap is unfair,
215
00:08:19,765 --> 00:08:21,395
un-American, unconstitutional.
216
00:08:21,467 --> 00:08:23,597
Big smile.
217
00:08:23,669 --> 00:08:25,769
Yeah, but shouldn't there
be a level playing field?
218
00:08:25,838 --> 00:08:27,408
I mean, when you
play "Monopoly,"
219
00:08:27,473 --> 00:08:29,543
doesn't everyone
start out with $200?
220
00:08:29,608 --> 00:08:32,238
Yes, but professional
sports isn't "Monopoly."
221
00:08:32,311 --> 00:08:33,651
They are a monopoly.
222
00:08:33,647 --> 00:08:34,977
Over here.
223
00:08:35,047 --> 00:08:36,147
Look, it's business.
224
00:08:36,215 --> 00:08:38,155
You still have management
verses your labor class.
225
00:08:38,184 --> 00:08:40,324
Your labor class
had an average salary
226
00:08:40,386 --> 00:08:43,386
of $2.1 million last
year even with the cap.
227
00:08:43,456 --> 00:08:45,786
Yes, but sports
is entertainment.
228
00:08:45,858 --> 00:08:48,528
And there's no salary
cap in the music business
229
00:08:48,594 --> 00:08:50,634
or on television
or in the movies.
230
00:08:50,696 --> 00:08:53,366
Look, if you were
gonna do "Rain Man II"
231
00:08:53,432 --> 00:08:56,272
and Dustin Hoffman gets
$20 million for the picture,
232
00:08:56,335 --> 00:08:59,565
no one steps in
to cap Tom Cruise.
233
00:08:59,638 --> 00:09:01,748
By the way, don't let me
forget to validate your parking.
234
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,384
Knock, knock.
235
00:09:03,377 --> 00:09:04,977
Arliss: Yes?
236
00:09:05,044 --> 00:09:06,354
Umm...
237
00:09:06,412 --> 00:09:08,352
This just arrived.
238
00:09:08,414 --> 00:09:10,454
Boss, someone
sent you a present.
239
00:09:10,516 --> 00:09:13,446
Really? From whom?
240
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:17,219
Women in distress
of Brower County.
241
00:09:17,289 --> 00:09:21,159
"Please accept this as a
token of our appreciation.
242
00:09:21,227 --> 00:09:22,957
"Your donated fee speech
243
00:09:23,029 --> 00:09:26,199
was motivational as
well as inspirational."
244
00:09:27,199 --> 00:09:28,199
Kirby: Hello!
245
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:32,144
It's a box full of steaks!
246
00:09:33,739 --> 00:09:34,839
No.
247
00:09:39,945 --> 00:09:42,745
This is so moving.
248
00:09:42,815 --> 00:09:44,055
Nancy, Dusty, share the moment.
249
00:09:44,116 --> 00:09:47,016
Each of you, please,
take a porterhouse.
250
00:09:48,521 --> 00:09:50,461
Sorry, we're both vegetarians.
251
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,590
Oh.
252
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,110
Stupid idea!
253
00:09:56,113 --> 00:09:57,263
I didn't...
254
00:09:57,329 --> 00:09:59,299
The David Falk shoot
won't be this entertaining.
255
00:10:00,633 --> 00:10:01,733
David Falk shoot?
256
00:10:01,801 --> 00:10:03,801
I thought this
was for the cover.
257
00:10:03,869 --> 00:10:05,469
Well, they asked
me to photograph you
258
00:10:05,538 --> 00:10:07,168
full frame, vertical format.
259
00:10:07,239 --> 00:10:08,839
- That's a solo covershot.
- Good.
260
00:10:08,908 --> 00:10:10,478
But that's also how they told me
261
00:10:10,543 --> 00:10:12,183
to shoot Mike Armstrong
and David Falk.
262
00:10:12,244 --> 00:10:13,514
Oh.
263
00:10:13,579 --> 00:10:16,649
So, I guess you three guys
are slugging it out for the cover.
264
00:10:16,715 --> 00:10:19,785
Is Falk a nice guy? I got
him tomorrow at 10:00.
265
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:22,664
Is anything wrong?
266
00:10:24,056 --> 00:10:26,656
No, David Falk is a great guy
267
00:10:26,725 --> 00:10:29,325
and he happens to be one of
my closest and dearest friends.
268
00:10:29,395 --> 00:10:31,165
And personally, I think
he's getting a real bum rap
269
00:10:31,197 --> 00:10:32,567
on this Michael Jordan thing.
270
00:10:32,631 --> 00:10:34,301
Together: What
Michael Jordan thing?
271
00:10:34,366 --> 00:10:36,136
There is no Michael
Jordan thing!
272
00:10:36,202 --> 00:10:39,112
Do you deny that you cheated
your client, Michael Jordan,
273
00:10:39,171 --> 00:10:41,111
on his back-end
profits on "Space Jam?"
274
00:10:41,173 --> 00:10:42,713
Categorically and officially.
275
00:10:42,775 --> 00:10:45,335
Now, listen. I don't wanna confuse
you with the facts or anything,
276
00:10:45,411 --> 00:10:48,081
but you know, I waived my executive
producer fee on "Space Jam."
277
00:10:48,147 --> 00:10:49,877
Big smile, Mr. Falk.
278
00:10:49,949 --> 00:10:52,179
Now, about that cologne...
279
00:10:52,251 --> 00:10:54,851
Who is feeding you
all this nonsense?!
280
00:10:57,890 --> 00:10:59,430
Mike Armstrong, line two.
281
00:11:02,261 --> 00:11:03,431
Eisner?
282
00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:04,600
Murdock.
283
00:11:04,663 --> 00:11:06,633
One moment, please.
284
00:11:06,699 --> 00:11:09,999
He's just finishing up a
call with Rupert Murdock.
285
00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:11,339
Together: One Mississippi,
286
00:11:11,403 --> 00:11:13,273
two Mississippi,
three Mississippi.
287
00:11:15,074 --> 00:11:16,314
Michael, buddy,
288
00:11:16,375 --> 00:11:17,775
to what do I owe the honor?
289
00:11:17,843 --> 00:11:20,013
You're a real con, Arliss.
290
00:11:20,079 --> 00:11:22,849
I don't know what you mean.
291
00:11:22,915 --> 00:11:25,715
Those rumors about
Falk and Jordan.
292
00:11:25,784 --> 00:11:28,594
I recognized the Arliss
Michaels touch right away.
293
00:11:28,654 --> 00:11:30,694
I'm just glad I had
my interview last week.
294
00:11:30,756 --> 00:11:32,886
I have no idea what
you're talking about.
295
00:11:32,958 --> 00:11:35,658
How do you find the
time to plan stuff like that?
296
00:11:35,728 --> 00:11:38,028
My client load is so damn heavy
297
00:11:38,097 --> 00:11:41,597
I can't be sitting around
designing practical jokes.
298
00:11:41,667 --> 00:11:43,067
Listen, Mike, you
know one thing...
299
00:11:43,135 --> 00:11:45,695
I'll send you a copy of my
"Sports Illustrated" cover
300
00:11:45,771 --> 00:11:47,171
when it comes out.
301
00:11:47,239 --> 00:11:49,209
- Autographed.
- Your cover, huh?
302
00:11:49,275 --> 00:11:50,625
Your cover?!
303
00:11:50,627 --> 00:11:51,977
Ciao, baby. (laughs)
304
00:11:52,044 --> 00:11:53,814
(line clicks, dial tone)
305
00:11:53,879 --> 00:11:55,119
Yeah, you'll make
the cover alright.
306
00:11:55,147 --> 00:11:57,947
The cover of
"Cocksucker Quarterly!"
307
00:11:58,017 --> 00:11:59,547
Will you stop
torturing yourself?
308
00:11:59,618 --> 00:12:01,418
It's just some magazine.
309
00:12:01,487 --> 00:12:03,387
I hope you're kidding.
310
00:12:03,455 --> 00:12:05,015
Okay, then, I'm kidding.
311
00:12:05,090 --> 00:12:08,560
"Sports Illustrated" happens to
be the only thing our clients read,
312
00:12:08,627 --> 00:12:10,697
and that includes their
own autobiographies.
313
00:12:10,763 --> 00:12:13,233
If they happen to see Mike
Armstrong's face on the cover
314
00:12:13,299 --> 00:12:15,629
instead of mine, they'll
start flocking to him
315
00:12:15,701 --> 00:12:17,541
like flounders
swimming upstream.
316
00:12:17,603 --> 00:12:19,003
Salmon.
317
00:12:19,071 --> 00:12:20,271
The point is,
318
00:12:20,339 --> 00:12:22,409
I'm trying to protect
a client base here.
319
00:12:22,474 --> 00:12:24,584
Oh, so it's not a ego thing.
320
00:12:24,643 --> 00:12:26,483
"Ego"?
321
00:12:26,545 --> 00:12:28,175
Rita, this is me.
322
00:12:28,247 --> 00:12:30,677
- (knocking)
- Yo, Arliss, you got a minute?
323
00:12:30,749 --> 00:12:32,589
Jimmy A., never too
big, come on in here!
324
00:12:32,651 --> 00:12:34,661
- Hi, Jimmy, how you doing?
- Fine, Rita. How you doing?
325
00:12:34,687 --> 00:12:36,787
Hey, my man.
326
00:12:36,855 --> 00:12:38,455
Hey, how's it going with Potts?
327
00:12:38,524 --> 00:12:39,664
Don't worry, I am on it.
328
00:12:39,725 --> 00:12:41,485
You are as good as signed.
329
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:44,400
Look, um, I'm late for
a meeting right now.
330
00:12:44,463 --> 00:12:46,973
Do you have any
dinner plans tonight?
331
00:12:47,032 --> 00:12:48,372
No plans.
332
00:12:48,434 --> 00:12:49,544
Great.
333
00:12:52,304 --> 00:12:53,314
Here you go.
334
00:12:54,940 --> 00:12:56,480
It makes a London broil,
335
00:12:56,542 --> 00:12:58,142
melts in your mouth.
336
00:12:58,210 --> 00:12:59,510
London broil?
337
00:12:59,578 --> 00:13:03,578
Alright, as of right now, your
team salary cap is $24.3 million.
338
00:13:03,649 --> 00:13:05,059
Currently, Damian
Nile" payments are due
339
00:13:05,084 --> 00:13:07,594
the 1st and the 15th of
each month through 1999.
340
00:13:07,653 --> 00:13:10,823
But in order to find enough room
under the cap to sign Jimmy Austin...
341
00:13:10,889 --> 00:13:13,689
We could extend Damian's payment
schedule through the year 2017.
342
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:14,959
That's creative.
343
00:13:15,027 --> 00:13:17,757
Now, I want the first 10
years of Damian's deferments
344
00:13:17,830 --> 00:13:18,930
to be paid in cash.
345
00:13:18,998 --> 00:13:20,598
The second ten in gold.
346
00:13:20,666 --> 00:13:23,636
Also, he has this ranch in
Montana, he's been trying to sell.
347
00:13:23,702 --> 00:13:25,042
- You now own it.
- What?!
348
00:13:25,104 --> 00:13:26,554
Now, enough about
Damian's deferments.
349
00:13:26,572 --> 00:13:28,772
Let's talk about a contract
extension. Stanley?
350
00:13:28,841 --> 00:13:31,311
Well, if you take Shaq's
'96 contract numbers
351
00:13:31,377 --> 00:13:32,807
as a starting point...
352
00:13:32,878 --> 00:13:34,588
No, first, let's talk
about Damian's lifestyle.
353
00:13:34,613 --> 00:13:36,423
I told you to have a chat
with him about it, Arliss.
354
00:13:36,448 --> 00:13:37,648
I did.
355
00:13:37,716 --> 00:13:39,016
It went very well.
356
00:13:39,084 --> 00:13:42,124
Arliss, he said he was gonna
cut out all that daredevil shit?
357
00:13:43,155 --> 00:13:44,215
He did.
358
00:13:44,290 --> 00:13:45,760
He really said that?
359
00:13:45,824 --> 00:13:47,964
You have my word.
360
00:13:48,027 --> 00:13:50,697
Don't you fuck with me, Arliss.
361
00:13:50,763 --> 00:13:53,273
Fuck with you? Frank!
362
00:13:53,332 --> 00:13:55,902
I spoke with him and he
told me in no uncertain terms
363
00:13:55,968 --> 00:13:58,468
that his reckless days
have all blown over.
364
00:13:58,537 --> 00:14:01,367
Damian: Yee-ha!
365
00:14:03,575 --> 00:14:06,045
So, O'Malley looks
me in the eye and says,
366
00:14:06,111 --> 00:14:10,381
"Arliss, what should I do?"
367
00:14:10,449 --> 00:14:12,379
I looked him back
in the eye and said,
368
00:14:12,451 --> 00:14:15,551
"Peter, nothing lasts forever.
369
00:14:15,621 --> 00:14:18,021
Sell the Dodgers."
370
00:14:18,090 --> 00:14:20,130
Yeah, well, that's
totally off the record.
371
00:14:20,192 --> 00:14:21,932
I don't like to
blow my own horn.
372
00:14:21,994 --> 00:14:24,004
Let me tell you another
great story about me, okay?
373
00:14:24,063 --> 00:14:25,963
The other day... Bob?
374
00:14:26,031 --> 00:14:28,731
Arliss: Bob Aaron!
How's the lord of the ring?
375
00:14:28,801 --> 00:14:30,501
Arliss, how are you?
376
00:14:30,569 --> 00:14:32,539
Meet my next champion,
Floyd Mayweather.
377
00:14:32,604 --> 00:14:33,814
Pretty boy Floyd Mayweather.
378
00:14:33,872 --> 00:14:35,912
Pretty boy, an honor to
meet an Olympic hero.
379
00:14:35,974 --> 00:14:37,754
Look, guys, pull up a chair
and have a drink with us.
380
00:14:37,776 --> 00:14:40,046
Arliss, I wish we could, but
we're meeting somebody.
381
00:14:40,112 --> 00:14:42,032
Oh, here he is!
382
00:14:42,032 --> 00:14:43,952
Hello, Mr. Michaels.
383
00:14:44,016 --> 00:14:45,176
Hi, Nancy, Dusty.
384
00:14:45,250 --> 00:14:46,350
- Hey, Mike.
- Mike.
385
00:14:46,418 --> 00:14:49,988
So, I see you decided to
crash our little celebration, huh?
386
00:14:50,055 --> 00:14:51,855
- Celebration?
- Together: What celebration?
387
00:14:51,924 --> 00:14:53,694
You'll read about it
tomorrow in the papers.
388
00:14:53,759 --> 00:14:56,429
Bob and I are starting
a new boxing channel.
389
00:14:56,495 --> 00:14:57,725
24 hours a day.
390
00:14:57,796 --> 00:15:01,226
A 24 hour a day boxing channel?
391
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:04,170
Oh, come on, guys. No offense,
but lots of luck finding subscribers.
392
00:15:04,236 --> 00:15:05,836
No, we've got 30 million.
393
00:15:05,904 --> 00:15:08,974
- Revenues are estimated to be $400 million.
- (Arliss coughing)
394
00:15:09,041 --> 00:15:11,711
It's gonna be the first,
last and best place
395
00:15:11,777 --> 00:15:14,107
to watch boxing on TV.
396
00:15:14,179 --> 00:15:16,049
No reason to get HBO anymore.
397
00:15:16,115 --> 00:15:18,345
Arliss, you're gonna
like our channel.
398
00:15:18,417 --> 00:15:19,817
Lots of...
399
00:15:19,885 --> 00:15:21,415
lightweights. (chuckles)
400
00:15:22,721 --> 00:15:24,721
Well, good to see ya.
401
00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:26,360
Ladies, excuse us. Fellas.
402
00:15:26,425 --> 00:15:28,585
Mr. Armstrong, about
your new channel.
403
00:15:28,660 --> 00:15:29,900
Could I just ask you...
404
00:15:33,866 --> 00:15:36,766
24 hour boxing, all
pugs, all the time.
405
00:15:36,835 --> 00:15:38,065
Why didn't I think of that?
406
00:15:38,137 --> 00:15:40,937
It's over, Armstrong
stole my cover!
407
00:15:41,006 --> 00:15:42,236
Maybe not.
408
00:15:42,307 --> 00:15:43,587
You need to come
up with one big idea.
409
00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:46,379
I mean a Hail
Mary, a blockbuster.
410
00:15:46,445 --> 00:15:48,245
And I got just the thing.
411
00:15:48,313 --> 00:15:50,583
Close your eyes,
close your eyes!
412
00:15:50,649 --> 00:15:52,349
Keep 'em closed,
413
00:15:52,418 --> 00:15:53,988
close 'em.
414
00:15:54,052 --> 00:15:56,392
Close your eyes,
keep 'em closed.
415
00:15:56,455 --> 00:15:58,785
Keep 'em closed,
keep 'em closed!
416
00:15:58,857 --> 00:16:00,627
Open 'em.
417
00:16:03,595 --> 00:16:06,465
What's this, "Arliss of Arabia"?
418
00:16:06,532 --> 00:16:08,432
No, it's the Big Middle East.
419
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:10,740
You know, we let
'em sign one of guys.
420
00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:12,673
You fly over there,
shake some hands,
421
00:16:12,738 --> 00:16:14,568
get your picture taken
at the Wailing Wall.
422
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,610
Enough with this idea!
423
00:16:16,675 --> 00:16:18,705
It's a great idea,
isn't it, Stanley?
424
00:16:18,777 --> 00:16:21,047
Oh, I no longer
answer to Stanley.
425
00:16:21,113 --> 00:16:23,183
Call me Ali Baba.
426
00:16:23,248 --> 00:16:25,878
There's a lot of money
here, this could be big.
427
00:16:25,951 --> 00:16:27,891
Take this back.
428
00:16:27,953 --> 00:16:29,723
What the hell's on your wrist?
429
00:16:29,788 --> 00:16:30,788
What?
430
00:16:32,458 --> 00:16:34,358
Did they give you a retainer?
431
00:16:34,426 --> 00:16:36,366
- They did, didn't they?
- I won't bring it up again.
432
00:16:36,395 --> 00:16:39,355
How much? How much?!
433
00:16:36,395 --> 00:16:38,125
Forget it!
434
00:16:38,197 --> 00:16:39,357
Bad idea!
435
00:16:39,431 --> 00:16:41,531
Turn on TNT.
436
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,770
What?
437
00:16:44,303 --> 00:16:45,943
Obviously this is a tragedy
438
00:16:46,004 --> 00:16:49,114
that will rock the world
of professional basketball.
439
00:16:49,174 --> 00:16:50,584
Again our breaking story.
440
00:16:50,642 --> 00:16:51,782
There's been an avalanche
441
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:54,784
in the Sierra Nevada
mountains of Northern California
442
00:16:54,847 --> 00:16:57,017
and there are
unconfirmed reports
443
00:16:57,082 --> 00:16:58,252
that it has claimed the life
444
00:16:58,317 --> 00:17:01,047
of basketball
great, Damian Niles.
445
00:17:01,119 --> 00:17:02,119
Oh, my God!
446
00:17:02,187 --> 00:17:05,487
The NBA star whose daredevil
reputation was well known
447
00:17:05,557 --> 00:17:07,327
had been snowmobiling
in the area.
448
00:17:07,392 --> 00:17:08,732
Snowmobiling?
449
00:17:08,794 --> 00:17:11,004
News anchor: As this
dramatic home video shows,
450
00:17:11,063 --> 00:17:13,273
Niles apparently lost his race
451
00:17:13,332 --> 00:17:15,602
with a deadly wall
of powder and ice.
452
00:17:15,667 --> 00:17:18,337
A nearby snowmobiler
who witnessed the incident
453
00:17:18,403 --> 00:17:19,473
gave this account.
454
00:17:19,538 --> 00:17:20,768
The last thing that I saw
455
00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:23,139
was Damian going
right into the avalanche.
456
00:17:23,208 --> 00:17:25,478
Now he's gone.
457
00:17:25,544 --> 00:17:27,454
Some guys can surf that stuff.
458
00:17:27,513 --> 00:17:30,523
I mean, didn't you ever watch
those disaster specials on FOX?
459
00:17:30,582 --> 00:17:32,502
News anchor: Once again
an avalanche in California
460
00:17:32,551 --> 00:17:35,651
has apparently put an
abrupt and tragic end
461
00:17:35,721 --> 00:17:36,791
to the playing days
462
00:17:36,855 --> 00:17:39,485
of basketball
superstar Damian Niles.
463
00:17:39,558 --> 00:17:41,168
Arliss (narrating): The
average career span
464
00:17:41,193 --> 00:17:43,033
of a professional
basketball player
465
00:17:43,095 --> 00:17:45,195
is 4.6 years.
466
00:17:52,504 --> 00:17:54,644
Damian: If you're telling
me I can't do this anymore,
467
00:17:54,706 --> 00:17:56,936
maybe I better just find
myself another agent.
468
00:17:57,009 --> 00:17:58,689
Arliss: Know what I hear
the ultimate extreme is?
469
00:17:58,710 --> 00:18:01,350
Snowmobiling, huh?
Huh! Snowmobiling!
470
00:18:03,315 --> 00:18:04,315
Frank...
471
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:07,350
C'mon in. Thanks for
coming, have a drink.
472
00:18:07,419 --> 00:18:08,549
I can't stay.
473
00:18:08,620 --> 00:18:10,570
I just wanted to let you know,
I've been thinking about you
474
00:18:10,589 --> 00:18:11,719
ever since I heard the news.
475
00:18:11,790 --> 00:18:13,890
Oh, thanks, man,
I appreciate it.
476
00:18:13,959 --> 00:18:15,129
(groans)
477
00:18:16,895 --> 00:18:18,305
I've been thinking
about how you lied to me
478
00:18:18,330 --> 00:18:19,830
about Damian's activities!
479
00:18:19,898 --> 00:18:21,768
"You have my word."
480
00:18:21,833 --> 00:18:24,603
I built a whole team
around him, you prick!
481
00:18:25,737 --> 00:18:26,737
He'd still be alive
482
00:18:26,805 --> 00:18:28,835
if you weren't his
accomplice in suicide.
483
00:18:31,510 --> 00:18:34,650
I almost forgot, it's the 15th.
484
00:18:34,713 --> 00:18:36,823
His annuity payment.
485
00:18:36,882 --> 00:18:40,152
Here's a $1.5 million I can
spend on someone else.
486
00:18:40,218 --> 00:18:41,888
Someone else
who's not a lunatic.
487
00:18:45,324 --> 00:18:46,494
Call me tomorrow, asshole,
488
00:18:46,558 --> 00:18:47,888
we'll talk about Jimmy Austin.
489
00:18:48,894 --> 00:18:50,564
- Rita: Hi, Frank.
- Yeah.
490
00:18:50,629 --> 00:18:52,629
Rita: Bye, Frank.
491
00:18:52,698 --> 00:18:55,068
Arliss, I forgot to
phone the funeral...
492
00:18:56,301 --> 00:18:57,401
Arliss, what happened?
493
00:18:59,771 --> 00:19:01,911
I slipped.
494
00:19:01,974 --> 00:19:03,584
Did he hit you?
495
00:19:03,577 --> 00:19:05,177
I said I slipped, okay?
496
00:19:07,546 --> 00:19:09,246
If I get you really
drunk sometime
497
00:19:09,314 --> 00:19:11,154
will you tell me what
happened to you as a kid?
498
00:19:11,183 --> 00:19:12,323
Rita,
499
00:19:13,452 --> 00:19:15,722
ultimately one is responsible
500
00:19:15,787 --> 00:19:17,317
for one's own actions, right?
501
00:19:18,557 --> 00:19:19,627
What?
502
00:19:19,691 --> 00:19:22,531
Ultimately one is responsible
for one's own actions!
503
00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:26,600
Let me get you
something for that.
504
00:19:26,665 --> 00:19:28,295
(phone ringing)
505
00:19:33,872 --> 00:19:35,142
Arliss Michaels.
506
00:19:35,207 --> 00:19:37,007
Damian: Arliss, how's it going?
507
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:39,140
Damian?
508
00:19:39,211 --> 00:19:41,781
Yeah, listen, bro, I
need you to help me!
509
00:19:41,847 --> 00:19:43,847
Damian, do you know
what's going on here?
510
00:19:43,915 --> 00:19:45,415
Everybody thinks you're dead!
511
00:19:45,484 --> 00:19:46,854
Almost was!
512
00:19:46,918 --> 00:19:50,188
It was extreme, bro!
513
00:19:50,255 --> 00:19:51,385
Whoa!
514
00:19:51,456 --> 00:19:53,156
Damian, are you
safe? Where are you?
515
00:19:53,225 --> 00:19:55,955
Yeah, I've been
chilling in this cave.
516
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:57,328
A cave?!
517
00:19:57,396 --> 00:20:00,096
Yeah, I got a little
frostbite on my hands.
518
00:20:00,165 --> 00:20:03,365
The only thing I could
do is speed dial one.
519
00:20:03,435 --> 00:20:05,095
(laughing) Ow!
520
00:20:05,170 --> 00:20:06,440
- Who is it?
- It's Damian.
521
00:20:06,505 --> 00:20:08,365
- Damian?
- (phone ringing)
522
00:20:10,275 --> 00:20:13,005
Damian, hold on a
second, don't go anywhere.
523
00:20:14,012 --> 00:20:15,252
Damian: Arliss!
524
00:20:15,313 --> 00:20:16,313
Don't give it to me.
525
00:20:16,348 --> 00:20:18,218
- Damian: Arliss!
- Arliss Michaels.
526
00:20:18,283 --> 00:20:19,283
Arliss, Jerry West.
527
00:20:19,351 --> 00:20:21,351
On behalf of the entire
Laker organization,
528
00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:23,220
I can't tell you
how sorry we are.
529
00:20:23,288 --> 00:20:24,788
Jerry, I really appreciate that.
530
00:20:24,856 --> 00:20:26,136
Can I get back
to you right away?
531
00:20:26,191 --> 00:20:27,891
Jerry: This was a
tragic loss for everyone.
532
00:20:27,959 --> 00:20:29,629
He was the one player
533
00:20:29,695 --> 00:20:31,795
the Laker organization
coveted the most.
534
00:20:31,863 --> 00:20:33,623
- Damian: Arliss!
- This guy was a superstar.
535
00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:36,197
Damian: Arliss!
536
00:20:36,202 --> 00:20:37,342
A white superstar.
537
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:38,902
Jerry, I know
this isn't the time,
538
00:20:38,970 --> 00:20:40,810
but hypothetically speaking,
539
00:20:40,872 --> 00:20:42,482
what would that be worth
on today's marketplace?
540
00:20:42,507 --> 00:20:44,177
What are you doing?
541
00:20:44,177 --> 00:20:45,837
Well, there's really no telling.
542
00:20:45,911 --> 00:20:47,851
For a player's
contract that's expired
543
00:20:47,913 --> 00:20:49,483
the money could be incredible.
544
00:20:49,548 --> 00:20:50,848
Right, there's no telling.
545
00:20:50,916 --> 00:20:52,546
But if you had to
put a price tag on it.
546
00:20:52,617 --> 00:20:54,147
Arliss, Damian's on hold.
547
00:20:54,219 --> 00:20:55,619
Damian (crying): Arliss!
548
00:20:55,687 --> 00:20:57,487
Thanks Jerry, bye.
549
00:20:58,690 --> 00:21:00,430
Damian, Damian,
are you still there?
550
00:21:00,492 --> 00:21:02,592
I'm gonna try to walk
into Truckee now,
551
00:21:02,661 --> 00:21:03,761
and get a motel room.
552
00:21:03,829 --> 00:21:05,099
No, no, no, don't do that!
553
00:21:05,163 --> 00:21:08,333
Damian, listen to me! You
stay exactly where you are.
554
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,600
But Arliss, it's cold here!
555
00:21:10,669 --> 00:21:13,209
It's starting to snow
again, I could get stuck.
556
00:21:13,271 --> 00:21:15,541
Damian, no, no! No,
you've got to stay there!
557
00:21:15,607 --> 00:21:17,807
- What are you doing?
- I need him to stay dead.
558
00:21:17,876 --> 00:21:19,276
Damian, you hear me?
559
00:21:19,344 --> 00:21:21,954
But Arliss, I'm losing
the feeling in my legs
560
00:21:22,013 --> 00:21:23,653
and my fire's getting low.
561
00:21:23,715 --> 00:21:24,845
Fire?
562
00:21:24,916 --> 00:21:26,816
What fire? You
can't have a fire!
563
00:21:26,885 --> 00:21:28,815
Why?!
564
00:21:28,822 --> 00:21:30,762
Because fire attracts wolves!
565
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:35,428
- Wolves?
- Yeah, wolves, it's very dangerous.
566
00:21:35,494 --> 00:21:37,274
- Don't you dare move!
- I don't believe what I'm hearing!
567
00:21:37,295 --> 00:21:38,435
- Howl like a wolf.
- What? I will not!
568
00:21:38,463 --> 00:21:39,463
- How like a wolf.
- No!
569
00:21:39,531 --> 00:21:41,471
- Oww!
- What was that?
570
00:21:41,533 --> 00:21:43,843
What was what? I thought
that came from your side.
571
00:21:43,902 --> 00:21:46,172
Arliss, I think
I'm hallucinating.
572
00:21:46,238 --> 00:21:49,208
Look, Damian, leave your cell
phone on, I'll have it tracked.
573
00:21:49,274 --> 00:21:51,344
Just don't move, I'm on my way!
574
00:21:51,409 --> 00:21:54,379
Arliss! Arliss!
575
00:21:54,446 --> 00:21:55,976
There is a man dying out there.
576
00:21:56,047 --> 00:21:57,277
He may not make it.
577
00:21:57,349 --> 00:21:58,779
He's tough, he should make it.
578
00:21:58,850 --> 00:22:00,600
Arliss!
579
00:22:00,603 --> 00:22:02,353
Look, I just need
him to stay dead for...
580
00:22:02,420 --> 00:22:04,190
another six hours.
581
00:22:05,190 --> 00:22:06,190
Six...
582
00:22:12,197 --> 00:22:13,327
Arliss: Hi, kids!
583
00:22:13,398 --> 00:22:14,628
Frank, Lucille,
584
00:22:14,699 --> 00:22:16,669
forgive me for waking
you up this time of night,
585
00:22:16,735 --> 00:22:18,695
but it literally is a
matter of life and death.
586
00:22:18,770 --> 00:22:20,080
How the fuck did
you get in here?!
587
00:22:20,105 --> 00:22:22,465
I bribed the maid with the
bonus that you're gonna give her.
588
00:22:23,275 --> 00:22:24,835
Arliss?
589
00:22:24,910 --> 00:22:27,080
Ooh, what happened to your eye?
590
00:22:27,145 --> 00:22:29,475
Your husband slugged
me earlier this evening.
591
00:22:29,548 --> 00:22:32,418
Frank, you told me
you didn't go to the bar.
592
00:22:32,484 --> 00:22:33,994
Actually, it was in my office.
593
00:22:34,052 --> 00:22:35,532
- (chuckles)
- You think this is funny?!
594
00:22:35,554 --> 00:22:36,704
I'm gonna stomp
your fucking ass...
595
00:22:36,721 --> 00:22:38,691
You're gonna do exactly
what I tell you to do.
596
00:22:38,757 --> 00:22:40,127
You know why?
597
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:41,662
Because Damian's alive.
598
00:22:41,726 --> 00:22:43,596
- (gasps)
- Alive?
599
00:22:44,729 --> 00:22:45,729
Fuck you.
600
00:22:45,764 --> 00:22:47,374
No, no, fuck you.
601
00:22:47,432 --> 00:22:48,902
- Sorry.
- (scoffs)
602
00:22:48,967 --> 00:22:50,867
That's right, Frank, alive.
603
00:22:50,936 --> 00:22:53,166
You know, like Bobby Ewing
getting out of the shower.
604
00:22:53,238 --> 00:22:54,838
And here's the best part...
605
00:22:54,906 --> 00:22:56,636
do you know that annuity
payment you missed
606
00:22:56,708 --> 00:22:58,008
two minutes ago?
607
00:22:59,444 --> 00:23:00,884
(thud)
608
00:23:00,946 --> 00:23:02,976
That was a breach
of Damian's contract.
609
00:23:03,048 --> 00:23:05,148
That means that Damian
is now a free agent.
610
00:23:05,217 --> 00:23:07,097
That means I can sell
him to the highest bidder!
611
00:23:07,152 --> 00:23:10,062
Unless you give me
every penny you've got.
612
00:23:10,121 --> 00:23:11,591
Understand?
613
00:23:12,958 --> 00:23:14,528
Would you care for some coffee?
614
00:23:14,593 --> 00:23:16,033
Actually, I prefer tea.
615
00:23:18,396 --> 00:23:20,866
I wanna have every penny
you've got under the cap.
616
00:23:20,932 --> 00:23:22,772
This year, next year,
and the year after that.
617
00:23:22,834 --> 00:23:24,644
I want you so
capped, you're tapped.
618
00:23:24,703 --> 00:23:27,273
This is gonna be
a new NBA record.
619
00:23:27,339 --> 00:23:29,649
Arliss (narrating): The salary
cap is a cancer on our society.
620
00:23:29,674 --> 00:23:32,084
Each year we hear about
the athletes who get rich.
621
00:23:32,143 --> 00:23:34,013
We don't hear about the victims.
622
00:23:35,247 --> 00:23:37,417
Because of the
salary cap restrictions,
623
00:23:37,482 --> 00:23:40,652
Jimmy Austin remained
unsigned by an NBA team.
624
00:23:40,719 --> 00:23:42,949
Fortunately, I was
able to find Jimmy
625
00:23:43,021 --> 00:23:45,821
a more lucrative offer.
626
00:23:45,891 --> 00:23:48,891
Arliss, not only did
you save Damian's life,
627
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,400
you got him the biggest
deal in the history of the NBA!
628
00:23:52,464 --> 00:23:54,404
Just doing my job.
629
00:23:54,466 --> 00:23:56,396
Arliss, it's good to see you.
630
00:23:56,468 --> 00:23:58,868
Better than good,
it's the cover.
631
00:24:02,340 --> 00:24:04,240
Arliss (narrating): My
name is Arliss Michaels.
632
00:24:04,309 --> 00:24:06,179
I represent athletes.
633
00:24:06,244 --> 00:24:08,684
These are my stories.
