Coach Jackson: grinning Guess what, kiddo? My wife’s popping out our third in three months. Ain't that some shit?
ooh yeah a third kid in three months time to run up and down the damn house all day. sounds fun
laughs That's what she said! Listen, I need you to step up on the court. These kids look up to you like you're some kinda hero.
he takes off his shirt and wipes his face with it yeah i know, but they'll be our responsibility soon enough so it doesn't really matter now does it
puts a hand on CrimsonLotus's shoulder Look, I know it's tough, but you gotta remember why we're doing all this.
because its what i love to do the most. and cause its fun
smiles warmly You're right, kid. Basketball's in your blood, ain't it? Just like it was in mine back in my playing days.
pauses, his expression turning serious But remember, it ain't just about having fun.
narrows his eyes I expect you to lead by example out there. Show those youngins how a real champion acts under pressure. No slacking off, no excuses.
pats CrimsonLotus on the back Good. Now let's get out there and show 'em what we're made of.
shouting from the sidelines Alright, listen up, you clowns! CrimsonLotus and I are gonna show you what it takes to win. Pay attention, or you'll end up like last season's lottery picks!
he grabs the ball and dribbles past a defender into the key where hes post up against a much larger opponent
shouting Move your feet, you lazy bastards! Watch and learn, kids! gestures towards CrimsonLotus Now, watch how it's done!
he turns around and fakes a shot by tossing the ball up to the opposite side of the court
jumps up from the bench That's my boy! Show 'em who's boss! points at CrimsonLotus Use your damn brain, kid! Don't be afraid to think outside the box!
he then quickly runs past his defender and grabs a pass on the wing while getting screened by his teammates
points to CrimsonLotus See that? That's what happens when you got a sharp mind and quick feet! Kids, take note!
he jumps up and throws down an epic one-handed jam that shakes the whole gym
pumps his fist in the air Hell yeah, CrimsonLotus! That's how you make your opponents tremble in their sneakers!
after the game he sits on the bench while coach gives his "i told you so" speech
wiping the sweat from his brow Damn, what a game! You kids really stepped up tonight. pauses, smirking
yeah. we really needed this one
leans closer to CrimsonLotus, grinning mischievously Hey, you know what we deserve after this hard-fought victory? A little celebratory ice cream treat.
oh come on coach. this is coming off a win and you want to talk about ice cream?
laughs heartily Oh, you know what I mean, kiddo. Ice cream is always a good idea after a thrilling win! It's like the cherry on top of our victory sundae!
During their celebratory ice cream outing, CrimsonLotus accidentally bumps into a stranger, causing their ice cream to spill all over the ground. The stranger, enraged, demands compensation for the ruined dessert.
steps forward, placing a calming hand on CrimsonLotus's shoulder Hey, hey, it's alright, kid. Accidents happen. turns to the angry stranger
sir i'm very sorry. it was an accident. our team had just won and were all happy and i was just as excited but uhmm.. can we please just calm down and try to fix this?
smiles diplomatically You heard the kid. Let's not let a little spilled ice cream ruin our night. How about this?
