[basketball bouncing]

[tense music]

* *

- This is the story of one
of the most dominant

basketball players of all time.

A player so electrifying,

so beloved
on and off the court,

nobody could stop him.

[buzzer blares]

Except himself.

I'm not talking about me.

I'm talking about
Danny Grossman.

[cheers and applause]

Danny was so good,
I was his backup.

Danny was so cool,
I was his friend.

So why haven't you
heard of him?

[dramatic hip-hop music]

* *

Great question.

[basketball bouncing]

- Am I live?

I don't even know if I'm live.
OK.

- Could you make sure that
my title thing says "ex-wife,"

not "wife"?
- Yes.

- Someone on a walkie-talkie
said "wife."

- What up, fam?

It's your boy Danny Grossman,

coming to you live
from Double Dribble Vintage.

- Whoa. Hey.

At least buy me dinner first,
pal.

[laughs]
Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh!

At least buy me dinner first.

- We have OG starter jackets.

We have dead stock snapbacks.

We have game-worn jerseys--

barely.

- Charlie, how you feeling?

- Good.
- Can I get you anything?

- Do you have boba?
- Um...

- How about this 9-iron
used by Tiger Woods'...

wife when she smashed up
his Escalade?

- I've actually got a hard out.
- OK.

- Yeah. But I can be quick.
- Oh--

- Danny's mad shady.
We good?

- Uh...

- Damn, Daniel,

you're the GOAT-iest
of all time.

- Do I need to say
who I am first?

I'm just kidding.

Should I start
at the beginning?

- How did it all begin?

- Uh, the punch, right?

- Daniel Grossman
is a scholar and a genius.

Oh!

- I don't know.

A lot of shit happened.

- Does he get punched a lot?

- [laughs] A lot.

- Just give me--
I want my money, Daniel!

- Ow!

- Danny is completely innocent.

Well, not innocent.

I just mean to say,
none of this is his fault.

- I--I have a daughter.

I have a daughter.

I did it all for Charlie.

Everything I did, I did
to take care of my daughter.

Just give me a few weeks.
[gasps] Days.

Day--one day.

Give me one day to just move
some funds around.

You know, toggle some stuff
from checking

to savings and whatnot.
- Shh, shh, shh, shh.

You have 24 hours
to get me my $90,000.

- Thank you.

It was all a misunderstanding.

Ah!

- You didn't owe him 90 grand?

- No, I did.

But he thought I had it.

And that was
the misunderstanding.

[grunts]

So I had 24 hours
to save my ass.

I only knew
one person on this Earth

with that kind
of ass-saving power.

[exciting music]

- The Warriors dusted
the Bulls

at the United Center tonight.

- Man, I should have
known better than

to bet against Steph Curry.

- Should have known better
than to bet, period.

- Yeah, Chuck haven't you lost,
like, $80 million

or something crazy like that?

- At least I got
$80 million to lose.

- Not anymore.

[laughter]

[hip-hop music]

- OK, so we got
your photo shoot for "GQ."

And I need your autograph
on Cousin Randy's lease.

They got a green light
to [indistinct].

- OK. I got you.

- Then you have to sign off
on the galley

for your new children's book,
"When You Swish Upon a Star."

But first, some high school
grads you're sending to college

want to say thanks.

all: Thank you, Mr. Curry!

- Oh, what's up, y'all?

I appreciate
the love and support.

- Steph--
- Let's go, Dub Nation!

That's what I'm talking about.
- Yo, SC!

SC! Steph!
- God bless you.

You have a great night.

Thank you so much.
- No, it's me.

It's Danny. Kim!

Kim!
It's--it's Danny Grossman.

- Danny?
Holy cow!

Danny, what's going on, man?

Bro.
- Hey, buddy, how are you?

- How you doing?
Little aggressive.

But how you doing?
- Didn't you kill yourself?

- No.

- Could've sworn
you killed yourself.

- A lot of people--you know,
you're not the first person

from Charlotte Christian
that thought I killed myself.

But no.
- That's what I heard.

- I thought he killed himself.

- No, I think that was
just a rumor, like--

like the guy
from Blues Traveler.

- What are you up to, Daniel?

Assuming no grown man
goes by Danny.

- What am I--I'm not up to--

that's a weird question.

- Pretty standard greeting.

- My buddy Mac works, um,
security in the tunnel.

And so he was like,
come on down.

And I saw that you were here.
- Obviously.

- Obviously, 'cause you're
playing in the game.

And I thought, um--

why are there cameras, uh,
filming everything I say?

- Oh, sorry, I kind of do cool
stuff basically all the time.

So it's, uh, better to keep
the cameras rolling 24-7,

just to catch everything.

Oh, Lucy here, the director,
she did a fire short at NYU.

It was about, uh--
- Three bleeding nuns.

- Right, yes.

- You'll have to sign
a release.

- No, I'm--I'm good.

Thank you.
- It wasn't an offer.

- Yeah, we legally
can't use any footage

that you're in
unless you sign the release.

- Bro, it's so good
to see you, man.

Hey, I've been meaning
to talk to you about that--

that "Night Night" celebration
you used to do in junior high.

I apologize
for stealing it, man.

Just--it kind of just came out.

- That's totally fine.

I don't have much
of a use for it anymore.

- Wow, man, we haven't seen you
in so long, since--

since all that stuff went down.

- What stuff?

both: What stuff?

- They're calling him
the "Jewish Jordan."

Local basketball phenom
Danny Grossman is breaking

every record in the books
and redefining what

we thought was possible
for a 12-year-old

on a basketball court.

[cheers and applause]

- He was nice.

He got recruited in,
like, fourth grade.

Rick Pitino gave his family
a Range Rover.

- I've seen a lot
of triple-doubles.

But Danny, he's the only guy I
ever saw get a double-triple.

- 100 points and 100 blocks.

- Technically,
it was a triple-triple,

if you count my fever.

I had tonsillitis.

I was running 102
the whole game.

- Grossman is
the total package.

That unique blend
of talent, size,

and the kind of basketball
IQ that only comes

from being a coach's son.

- My dad was a great coach.

- He was the best coach
I ever had.

- Really?
Steph said that?

- But he was a terrible father.

- With Coach Mitch's
basketball skill system,

you, too, can dominate like
my son, phenom Danny Grossman.

Catch, Danny!

Anything I did,
I did for Danny.

His toe is on the line!

- My dad made Earl Woods
look like Elle Woods.

- I once saw Coach throw
a chair onto the court

with a kid in it.

- His toe is on the line!

[crowd gasping]

That was a different time.

- You could throw kids
back then?

- Well, I could throw kids
back then.

I couldn't do it now.

I'm not strong enough.

Question my methods
all you want,

but we did win it all.

- And I had it all.

- Bro, Danny was the king.

Guys wanted to be him.

Girls wanted to be in heaven
with him for seven minutes.

But then it all went to hell.

- Charlotte Christian has been
rocked by scandal today.

Local 12-year-old phenom
Danny Grossman,

youngest-ever
Wheaties cover boy,

isn't 12 after all.

He's 14 1/2.

[somber music]

- Then I lost it all.

* *

Boy, did they enjoy
taking it from me.

[crowd shouting]

- He's two years older
than he said he was!

- Liar!
- Liar!

- They were monsters.

They were saying
things to me that

I can't even say on Peacock.

This is Peacock, right?

I--do I get Peacock?

- We were a joke.

- Have you seen this?

Have you heard about this?

12-year-old basketball prodigy
Danny Grossman

lied about his age
and is actually 14.

Which makes him too old
to play junior high basketball.

But on the bright side,
makes him

too old to date
Michael Jackson.

[laughter]

- I take full responsibility
for ruining Danny's life.

No excuses.

Except I was an addict
at the time.

Alcohol, narcotics,
gambling, pornos.

- When Danny's at his best,
he's the best.

But that kind of trauma,
it's hard to outrun.

- Hey, uh...
- Hmm?

- You want to get back?

Or do you need more time
with the rain?

- I thought we were
waiting on you.

- Oh, no--
- I'm good. No--

- Are you sure?
- Yeah. Why?

- You've been standing there
for, like, 45 minutes, so...

So that's why
you run a store

that only sells things
from the past?

Because you wish
you could go back to a time

when your life was good?

- I don't think
that's it at all.

* *

Can I go to the bathroom?
- Just step--

- Sorry.
Can you just give me--

I just need one second.

- I swear to God,
I didn't know.

My dad masterminded
the whole thing.

- We know, bro.
But come on.

I mean, no part of you
maybe thought?

I mean, you had a full bush.

- I wasn't in on it.

- Relax. We believe you.

- Yeah, why are you
yelling at us?

- Yeah.
- I'm not--I'm sorry.

I just--I get why
the whole world

thought I was in on it.

But you two knew
the truth, and you still--

you didn't have my back.

So it doesn't matter now.

And I'm sorry that I...

[somber music]

- He's not wrong.

When all that stuff went down,

we stopped talking to him
for 25 years.

I mean, the three of us,

we called ourselves
the Splash Siblings.

Man, Danny came up
with that too.

I guess I kind of owe
that guy a lot, huh?

- I had nowhere to go.

I had no one in my life.

My mom died when I was four.

My dad, you know, he's a mess.

So then I moved in
with my aunt.

Then we hooked up,
so I had to--

- Say what?
- You smashed your auntie?

- No, we just hooked up.

- What am I missing?
- What does that entail?

- Like, titty stuff.

- OK, say less for--

and I mean that earnestly.

To be fair, she had dumps
like a Pixar mom.

Her thang was thangin'.

- You're right, man.

I should have had your back.

And I'm sorry for that, man.

- Aw, that's so nice, Steph.

Thank you.
- Absolutely.

- Kimberly, what about you?

Are you sorry?
- Yes.

- Yes, what?
- Really, dude?

- Just say it.
- Fine.

Yeah, I'm sorry.
Sorry.

- Thank you.

For what exactly?

- Bro, bro, she just said it.

- I know, but did she mean it?

- Ah, that's a good question.

Did you mean it, Kimberly?
- Fuck you guys.

Fuck you guys.

- For real, though,

despite how dirty
you both did me,

it's been amazing to watch you
become Stephen Curry.

- It's crazy, right?

- And to watch you become
Stephen Curry's intern.

- Bitch, stop playing with me.

I am the CEO
of Curry Up and Wait.

- Sell it to him.
- That sounds cool.

What's that?
- Our media company.

We do podcasts, books,
movies, TV.

- Yeah, we're working
on this new faith-based

prank show with Steve Harvey.

It's really funny, man.

We really go there.
- Really?

- And we're on
the 1-yard line with a new

half-hour comedy
called "Teen Steph."

- Cool. What is that, "Young"--

"Young Rock" meets
"Young Sheldon"?

- No, he's a teen.

And there's a twist, asshole.

And Phoebe Waller-Bridge
is writing it.

- You ain't seen "Fleabag"?

- Cool. That sounds awesome.

I mean, truly, it's so dope
how you just, like,

hook up all your friends,
lending out a hand.

- Uh-huh, yeah, uh-huh.

Yep, here comes the ask.
- Wait, hold on. Hear him out.

- Here it comes.
Seriously? For real?

I'm just tired of
people treating you

like you fucking "Shark Tank."
- I get it.

- You really think a man
in a dusty-ass denim blouse

just popped by after 25 years
to say what up?

- This is vintage Girbaud.

- Yeah, well,
it's giving Ann Taylor.

- You know, it doesn't matter.

I did come just to hang out

and say what's up.

But maybe that was just--

anyway, thank you.

- You're leaving?

- Yeah, maybe
it was a bad idea.

- Yeah.
- Oh, no, hold on.

Hold on, Danny.

Why don't you come out
with us tonight, man?

Kimberly, you can add him
to the table, right?

- At Sasha Obama's
graduation dinner?

I mean, you might--come on,
you might have to text 44--

- KG, KG, I know you can do it.

I know you can do it.
- Stephen.

- Hey, I'm gonna go work out
for three hours,

and then we'll bounce.
- All right.

- All right, I'll see y'all.
- Sounds fun.

- Wow, man.

- Good to see you.

Everything I said to them
was true.

[suspenseful music]

But what was also true is that

a game-worn Curry jersey
streets for about 150K.

* *

It was a Hail Mary.

But I had no other choice.

You know, I'll do anything
for my daughter.

I know a lot of dads that
would have not done that.

* *

I'll never sign the release.

- Hey, change of plans.
Oprah's having people over.

- OK, I literally had to beg
Sasha's assistant, but...

- I know this looks bad.

- I knew it! I knew it!

I knew you were
up to something.

- It's not what it looks like.

- Stealing my jersey
that I promised

to the March of Dimes?

- No, no--
- How about you leave?

Leave right now.

- My daughter's sick.

- What?

- It's so embarrassing
to admit that

you can't hold down
your family,

and just the bills are
piling up so high.

And I just--I know
how much I could get for that.

- I'm so sorry, man.

What does she have?

- I don't know.

They don't know.

Hopefully, it's just...
not one of those things

where it ends up
being named after her.

But she's--she's really--
she's a trouper.

Her name's Charlie.

See?

[somber music]

It's a parent's
worst nightmare.

- No one should have
to go through that.

Not even Danny.

- Here, man.

You should have this.

Just, you take it.

- You sure?

- We got your back this time.

- Thank you, Stephen.

* *

Where did we net out
on the whole

us going out
for the night of it?

[upbeat music]

[indistinct chatter]

- [laughs]

There's just something
about being around people

who knew you
before you got that first bet.

- Oh! Ho-ho!

- Yo, you know you're
beating me with me, right?

- Actually, bro, Klay is doing
most of the heavy lifting.

- I have 78 and 20.

- Uh-uh.
I have 78 and 20.

Night-night, me good bitch.

[laughter]

Being around Stephen
is intoxicating.

- Whoo!
- Whoo!

- You know?

So is drinking three bottles
of 1942.

- You know--
- Oh!

I got it.
Forget that jersey I gave you.

Nah, nah, nah.
That's small food.

Let's go big.

Let's do a celebrity charity
basketball game for her.

- No. You do not--
- I'll help.

- You do not have to do that.

- We'll raise millions.

- Dude, that is--

- We'll find a cure for her.

That's what we'll do.

- But don't you have
that big upcoming trip

to India?
- The what?

- Steph's the nicest dude
on the planet.

So most of my job
is figuring out,

you know,
different ways to say no.

Like, we'll take
a look at that,

thanks for thinking of us,
Steph's gonna be in India.

- I just don't--bro,
you don't have to do that.

I tried to say no.

It is an amazing offer,
Stephen,

but I don't know
the first thing

about putting together
a celebrity charity

basketball game.
- What?

- But, man, that Steph Curry
has no quit in him.

- Dude, that's the attitude
I'm talking about, though, man.

99% of doing anything in this
life is believing that you can.

- Facts.

- Hey, start with that
question, why not me?

You know, take Kimberly.

- No, thank you.

- No, he meant as
an example, dumbass.

You could never.
- You think she knew anything

about running a billion-dollar
media company before

we started Curry Up and Wait?
- Mm-hmm.

- Judging by your slate,
she still doesn't.

- OK, you got one more.
Stop playing.

- Take Evan Funke here.

You think he knew anything
about opening up a pasta spot

before I was like, hey, bro,
open up a pasta spot?

- I studied in Italy
for, like, a decade.

But it was Stephen's
encouragement.

Put me over the edge.

- It's amazing that
Evan Funke is your plane chef.

- Finish chewing.

- Hey, there's levels
to this, big fella.

Get used to it.
Come on.

- The dude is just inspiring.

- Hey, but take me,
for example, right?

The whole world telling me
I'm too small,

I got glass ankles.

I could have believed it.

But what did I say to myself?

Why not me?

- Yeah, but, Stephen, I mean,
your dad was also in the NBA.

Plus, you're in
the one zillionth percentile

of hand-eye coordination.

I mean, maybe I could plan
a sick event

if my mother was Mindy Weiss.

But in reality,
my mom is dead,

and my dad is dead.

- He's what?
- To me.

- Damn!

Somebody get my boy
on some SSRIs.

- But, Danny,
you're a great guy.

You're a fantastic human being.

Do you know that?
- No, I'm not.

- Yes, you--hey, stop that.

You've just been dealt
a bad hand.

I see it.
- He's a piece of shit.

- You could keep playing
the same cards.

Or you could
reshuffle the deck.

What do you say?
- I say--

- Feel free to sleep on it
or just go ahead

and say no right now because--

* *

- Why not me?
- Why not me?

Let's go.
- Yes.

- That's what
I'm talking about.

- Um...

- Yeah, we're doing...
both: A celebrity charity

basketball game.
- Yes, we are.

- Get [indistinct]
to do a documentary on it.

- Wow.

It's quite a thing
I agreed to.

So, what,
you're just gonna, like,

follow me with cameras
everywhere I go?

- Yeah, that's typically
how a documentary works.

- So what happens
if I, like, go over here?

- Yeah.

- And what if I'm, like...

- Yeah, just do what
you would normally do.

- Over here?
- That's perfect.

- What if I go over here?

[laughs] Or here?
- Oh, my God, Dan.

Somehow I went from following

a once-in-a-generation talent
to following a--

- Shwing!

- Just to be clear,
she wasn't my aunt by blood.

And frankly,
she was irresistible.

[doorbell rings]

- What are you...
doing here?

- Uh, it's my weekend.

- Uh, it was your weekend.

But you told me that
you couldn't take Charlie

because you were in trouble
with the Polish mafia.

- [laughs] That's a funny--
that's a funny joke, Sam.

- Isn't it a funny joke?
- I'm not in trouble

with anyone--
I'm not in trouble with anyone.

- Then why did you text me,
"How do I fake my own death?

"Oops, that was meant
for Google.

Can I borrow $90,000?"

- Can I please talk to you
inside for a second?

Just--
- Hmm.

- There is clearly
a camera crew following me.

So if you could kindly--

- Well, if there's
a camera crew following you,

then I'm the least
of your problems.

What is going on?

Are you on
"To Catch a Predator"?

- Sorry, I brought
the camera crew.

That would make you
the predator.

- Whatever.
You're the fucking predator.

- No, you're the predator.

- You're the predator.

- I brought the--look,
you're the predator

'cause the predator--

why would the predator
bring a camera?

They don't want that footage.

- I don't know,
'cause he's a dumb predator.

- If you must know, this
footage is for Steph Curry.

Ever heard of him?
- Oh. Yeah.

Why? For what?

- Well, we're old friends,

and we ran into each other
last night.

And he wants to make
a documentary about me.

- Oh, my God. Let me guess.

It's about how your dad
ruined your life.

Dude, at a certain point,
you got to take

some responsibility
for where you're at.

My dad set himself on fire
in front of me.

I've mentioned it maybe twice.

Yeah, it's whatever.

It actually wasn't my dad.

It was his identical twin
that we didn't know he had.

My dad's still missing.

- Yikes.

- I'm just saying, move on.

You know, like,
if you had a hard childhood,

you make bad decisions,

then you're gonna have
a bad life.

So if he wants
to have a good life,

he needs to start
making good decisions

and be an adult person.

- Do you think he can?

- Yeah.

Yes.

Well.

- It's not about my dad.

It's about me doing

a celebrity basketball game
for charity,

if you must know.
- What charity?

- You always said if the world
could just see my good side.

- Uh-huh.
- So I started a charity.

- To benefit who?
- Charlie.

- Charlie?

Our daughter, Charlie? Why?

- So we could find a cure
for her extremely rare

and terminal disease.

- No, no.
- Hear me out.

- Absolutely not.

No, you cannot do that.
- Hear me out.

That was my first thought too.

I was like, I can't do this.

But Steph is all like,
why not me?

And then I got to thinking,
you know, why not me?

- Oh, my God.

I can think of
one huge reason--

'cause we don't have
a daughter with

a terminal disease
or any disease at all.

Did you show Steph Curry
the context of that photo?

I bet you didn't.

[dramatic music]

- Happy Halloween.
- Happy Halloween.

- Oh, my God.
The wig is amazing.

- Didn't it turn out so good?

- OK, OK, look--

- That picture, it was
a Halloween costume,

you know, "Stranger Things."

- Do the hand.
- Do the thing.

- Do the hand thing.
- So cringe.

- Babe, do the hand thing.
- Do it.

She was very sick
in that picture, though,

'cause she had eaten, like,
5 pounds of Halloween candy.

- Danny, this is not
gonna end well.

- You don't know that.
- Why would you do this?

- Did you get them?

Oh, my God!

- Two tickets.

You think was ever gonna miss
Eras at Soldier Field?

- I don't care
what anyone says.

My dad is a great dad.

I mean, does he go
a little hard in the paint

for me sometimes? Yeah.

But isn't that
what being a good dad is?

Oh, my--we have to make
friendship bracelets.

- Yes.

Oh, make mine that says
"Bad Blood."

- OK. [laughs]

- Sure, the jersey was enough
to pay back Polish Pete.

But it was also enough
to pay down my interest.

And then I could use
the rest of the money

to take Charlie
to Taylor Swift.

Because it has been
a brutal year.

Me and Sam got divorced,
and then she started

having a hard time in school,
you know?

I mean, she's not dying.

But I just wanted

to do something
really nice for her,

you know,
so she didn't have to listen

to the concert
from the parking lot

like a bunch of jamokes.

- How was the concert?

- The concert was so fun.
- Oh, my God.

I'm such a Swiftie.
- It was amazing.

- Check up, bitch.
- Check up.

Oh, you don't want
none of this smoke.

Come on.
- Are you kidding?

I borrowed all this
Under Armour gear.

I'm ready to go.
- From the boys' section.

[exhales sharply, grunts]

- Shit! Oh, shit!

You hit my balls from the back.

- Give me that.

[light music]

Hold it.

- If my life wasn't
derailed by scandal,

you don't think I could play
in the league?

- Pssh, no.
You know how good we are, dawg?

- You don't think
I could have been Draymond?

- Hell no.

- You don't think I'd be
Alex Caruso with hair?

- Ah, maybe.
- You sat behind me, remember?

- Things change.
- Oh, yeah?

- Things change, Danny.

You might want
to press up, dawg.

You ain't seen my résumé?
- Oh, I seen the résumé.

- Come on.
- Uh-huh.

- Dude, I'm not even
