The Story Of The BEST HIGH SCHOOL TEAM EVER! How Jalen Green & Prolific Made HISTORY, Part 2

in the previous episode of super

team

from the first time I came in you had that style about your

prolific

preparation. I'm out for four to six weeks with a sprained ankle. We come from a great loss. We have to get this train back. on the slopes now we come out of all the qualifications for a routine session right now we have to earn our key west coast right now we have a kind of identity crisis right now we have to raise the bar right now I don't know like I'm embarrassed, the Practice is getting harder, coach is attacking us for

ever

y little thing, you're a 511 guard, you're not going to get offensive rebounds, just throw it out the window, you guys aren't listening to me, I'm not going.

Keep playing against each other, if you do that, we want to win, we can keep winning as long as you push each other. At this point, the injury is still affecting me, but I feel like I can get my ankle back in at least a week. It's getting a lot better we'll probably be back on Friday we have to play harder here the freshmen here the older students here you guys can't walk in the gym and just wow you can't three two one it doesn't matter if you're in

high

school

, college or the NBA, you have to play as hard as you can

ever

y time you step on the court, okay, this is the championship route, every minute we have to improve our 15 or however many guys we have, we have to improve that way. we played west oaks in the final four the routine session we can beat them i have always told you from day one it will always be about us it will never be about anyone else the coach comes after practice and tells us we are going to do this big event community, but you can't tell us what it is, so I'm immediately worried that we'll think, wow, we're going to be so out of our league and this is so different.

My name is Trooper Johnson. I am the Youth Sports Program Coordinator for the Bay Area Recreation and Outreach Program, many of you have played wheelchair basketball before. Oh, this is going to be so much fun. I have no idea what to expect. Deep trap first. Yeah, fuck off. It may not be our sport, but we still crack our heads in the back of my mind. We know we are underway. We are going through balance. We probably have about 40 turnovers. An open layout was simply missed. Oh, there are little one-shot errors. If this

team

doesn't turn this game around, we're going to lose, we're going to slowly come back, they're saying they're coming back right now, oh no, they're going to bury you guys, the number two I had. the ball he dribbled he threw it over a defender he turned around and caught it and then he

made

a pass and they scored I was like oh god he's like Magic Johnson on someone's head the team is tough and strong his face protects my face defense and often sends screens like me I'm thinking this is bad, I can't move, I gained a lot of respect for them, I already respected them, but it went to another level, how strong they are as individuals and we had a good time with them, they don't like them We were afraid. at all, they went for it, they tried it and they just had fun and I think the reality is that that's what basketball does for cultures.

People from all over the world gather them just for fun. Our schedule right now is the most difficult. We have two really difficult games. uh both teams we've played before we beat Huntington Prep last time, it was a very close back and forth game and then the lumiere we lost our first game of the year. uh, very well coached, we lost West Oaks and it hurts, you know? I hate to lose, we all hate to lose, but it was really an eye-opener for all of us, showing that we have to work harder, we can't be satisfied with anything, we are getting our confidence back, we are getting our players back.

I can only eat things like noodle soup, okay, let's look, we're playing Huntington Prep, a team we already beat and we know they're hungry for revenge, they're trying to bite us in the butt, I hope you guys know what kind of opportunity you had ahead of you this weekend. I don't know if I'm going or not, but I told you yesterday. It doesn't matter if I go. We need the leaders of this team to step up. My wife. uh, 39 weeks pregnant, hopefully I won't have the baby in the next 24 hours. These classifications are disrespecting us. Brian and I have been watching all week, every week, if someone comes in with a different number, I'm sick of we can.

I can't afford any more losses, we have to win, we have great assistant coaches, but no one wants to play without your head coach. I'm not joining the team tomorrow at the tryout just because I want to give myself a day to have our daughter. on Thursday, so I'll be joining the team on Friday morning. I hope everyone knows that we had a tough schedule, so let's reward this weekend by getting two wins tomorrow morning. Oh family, three, we just landed here in Dayton, Ohio, it's crazy. The coach may not be here for the game because she is pregnant.

I mean, this is crazy because like I'm watching a movie, I'm fine. His wife is pregnant. He better have a baby, but he's out there doing businesses that go broke, so I'm like. So now it's like a similar situation four groups of three we're going to shoot four minutes so we're going two groups there two groups there and we're going to go for four minutes okay maybe we have to play the game without the coach it's not there yet here today and I know they're playing it by ear depending on what happens, I mean we have Coach Anthony, but Coach Anthony has always been behind Coach Joey so he might be nervous.

You know, you never know what can happen. So what we're saying is yes, yes. thank you, it's an hour until the game no sign of the coach big sold out crowd i hope our coach arrives we have a game in less than an hour i have to have my phone on full volume even during the game so if she calls, I need to get on the next flight why would they put the elevator all the way down here oh there they are suddenly he comes out of nowhere barges in oh great what's up jay what's up you guys not yet we don't know that the game is already this is a recovery game for us, come on, we haven't played in 10 days, obviously, the last time we played, we all struggled and we had a game that let us down, everything is fine, I'm very excited to be here with you, I could be somewhere else, huh , but I love being around you, I love being around the basketball game, so it's fun, come on, patience, shoot hard, squeeze, we beat it the first time you embarrassed yourself, we know you'll come after us with everything .

They got him, damn it, man, they swing him, he goes back and forth like he usually does, trying to play defense, that's not working well, we're down by eight, it's going to take toughness, stamina and effort, everyone feels a little bit of pressure knowing that we. We have so much at stake in every game that there is no one on the court that can beat us alone, we are beating ourselves right now, you guys are ready to go, come on, come on, come on, let's have fun for the first two minutes, here we go together. we shouldn't have excuses we have all this talent on our team we have to play better you are flirting with disaster right now help what do we have to finish the game you can't limp to the finish line it's falling to the end as always it's a great pass I'm not going to fuck off we have to finish strong time out time out come on man you guys are letting this game get out of control omg go get it no three no fouls no fouls help jordan a bunch of sounds and we get the w we came out with a close victory and a tough game we were all excited we got a good win so in the locker room we got excited everyone is excited you have a victory, I just have a winning personality between you and me and I'm with you guys, but They make it very interesting in the end, just keep the ball, okay, let's win the game right now, we didn't come here to win. one game okay jaylen we came here to win two let's go home after sunday night here we go after the game there are tons of fans there asking us for autographs pitchers nice we're at the restaurant and someone breaks Spicy chicken wings, sorry. like it's not bad at all hey marcus, did you get one?

I started to eat it more and it started to get smaller than my mouth as my tongue continued, I got okay, something's not right, God, my whole mouth is on fire, my throat. I hurried to the kitchen to get milk. The milk didn't work, so the whole time he was eating, my mouth was on fire. I'll never do that again, which is why I don't eat that hot stuff.

Sometimes I need a break from the hoop and I just need to change it. Sorry, I'm trying to ride a horse, bro, you're acowboy, where you wanna go take this attack? Sir, I'll go with his girl and he says, yes, and then he leaves. I don't care how good or experienced Mike is on horseback. I do not have experience. I do not want to do this. I don't want to. go horseback riding oh, you want a flat surface hey, what's up there? Come on, I'm Brian Gruber, this is my wife, miss. Hey, hey, we're here to give you a riding lesson today, we don't have to jump these things, right?

I'm not going to have to, alright, are you ready to meet your horses? Yes, ma'am, let's go, we'll bring them. We are relaxing at the ranch waiting for our horses to come out a big, beautiful horse. comes out by mike mike shadow jumps a big beautiful horse comes out by jordan this is a horse version of me and then I'm sitting here waiting for my horse brother, what the hell am I getting into? This is Carlton, come on bro, girl, you know, I wouldn't put a 611 guy on a super super small horse, what's up bro, oh wait, hey, I'm not mad, my experience will. being good is not so much okay, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, it's okay, oh my god, Carlton, relax, although I already realized that the horse was already stumbling, Carlton, oh my god, it's only going downhill from here, why?

He's going so fast, he's literally walking, what do you mean why is he going so fast? Okay, everyone take me home, buddy, it's time for me to show these guys who's boss. Oh, look, come on, Jordan Kitties, I don't even, oh, that's no, and I. riding right now Mike is doing well bro, he's fine, you guys did great. I haven't seen you play basketball personally, but you guys are great athletes, obviously, thank you. I'll go see Chico soon. Okay, yeah, I mean, I might miss you if you don't come back to visit the guys were great, it was a lot of fun, you know, it was a lot of fun having you here, you have to come back, okay, I really appreciate it, no, I'm a good community college , you know, California really had to do it.

I'm traveling this week so it's good for us hey who we're playing tonight bro I don't even know who we're playing. This is a really good quote I came across the other day from the Oregon State women's coach. Success makes you stupid. You have to stay hungry, you have to remember how hard it was to get there, it's not going to get any easier, just keep at it and keep working the moment you start to believe that your height failure is just around the corner and I thought that it's really nice. I quote just when we get to that point, every time you think about life, when you think you're there, someone is competing against you, so Bella Vista wants to go out and they want to beat the fish tonight, so you guys must have a constant . chip on your shoulder if you

made

the mcdonald's all-america game if you're trying to fight for a division one scholarship like jack wetzel and flu you gotta give me everything you got alright guys listen to me on that let's have a good time . night here we go play with a chip on our shoulder one two three keep these guys keeping the energy energy energy you don't want to be patient here we go again you refuse to listen to me when I tell you to cut people off right hand maybe you don't know what the right hand is play your own game and then we'll draw one like we did the first time because you guys don't want to move basketball coach joey isn't happy listen i just shoot you're 511 you're from iowa you gotta shoot keep shooting threes we're very good at that but you have to lock up your man coleman come on the coach says it's nice listen to me shut your mouth leave me alone I give you some advice, the more you talk, you won't play the rest of the game.

Look, they think they can beat them. Okay, they absolutely believe they can beat them on our home court and we have guys responding. I'm sick of this, but we're down 11 points right now at halftime against a below-average team. Inexcusable. You, my friend, will refuse to charge. You will not do it. Jordan and Jack, you gotta shoot, buddy, and you'll refuse. to make a lamp or a dunk i don't know what frank is the number one key coleman hawkins attacked the trip i knew this was going to be a disappointing game this is inexcusable and you know very well that this team should not be up at halftime Okay , we're going to have to sweat this out like always, oh, this is a constant back and forth, they'll take a shot, we'll take a shot, it'll get ugly if you don't do anything about it everyone. at some point they're going to take you out like West Oaks and as the look is ready, that's not great, we're a tough team to play really hard, you know, we have a lot of guys that can come in and make plays. some of the best players in the nation here we are the real deal playing with

jalen

and amari the best players in the nation i feel like i'm playing next to two future nba players it's amazing to see what they can do on the court now Listen to the most important thing that you guys see, I'm going to try to get every ounce of energy out of you and maybe I can do a better job as a coach to not step over the line in terms of how I address you. guys, but it's just because I know how good you are, I want to keep the standard so

high

that if we ever go down, I can hold you accountable and you can hold each other accountable, and that's what the word trust is for.

Like we know we're not playing Bella Vista or Dream City, we're playing Prolific, we've played 23 games guys, we have 21 wins, we've had two games where we lost one. game the more i got hurt we didn't have coleman the other game we just didn't play enough west oaks they kicked us out but no one cares if you win 23 games and lose five you don't win the drill session and you don't get to geico the end goal is something more bigger than any of us can imagine but I need all of you to stay together stay together family in three one two three family proud of you we play Dream City Christian tomorrow it will definitely be a difficult game because it is almost as if our rivals we have to try hard to fight and stay together the best teams in the country are always consistent at any level university nba consistency is the word to get into the routine world championship session you can't lose many games so we have to win all these games and they are all tough competition Guys, please don't let me lose my temper tonight.

I ask the Lord to wake me up again. I'll wake up last time we played again with Jaylen, it was a close game, the best player, Mr. Free Throw, at the end of the game, he stood up, happy about the decision, he thought it was a soft little ball tip , here comes the world champion yellow or bust, I'm not going to rush out, we'll take an early lead, you know, they're going to try to come out and embarrass us, we have to be ready at full speed on paper, we don't need three in transition. You have Jaylen wide open in the corner.

I think we have to get up. There is no unicorn anywhere. He's like the best player in the nation. We don't want to recover tonight. Okay, guys, listen, we can't score, man, we can't score. them, I've been dreading this game since we beat it last time, back off Mike, listen, let's make the game easy, okay, if we get something in transition like we did in the first two minutes of the game, you guys look great, you're sharing the ball the boys are pushing looks very good, but we always go at a low level and I don't know what it is that we don't want to move the ball at some point we have to look at each other and we have to be like we did . a rebound we always start slow we're trying to figure out what the problem is they're not better than us right you know we can't always be like a team in the second half we have to come out strong right now

jalen

goes out with us he just shot, play, lights, run, get rebound, take out Jordan, you guys are going to be left out in front of all these embarrassing people, those are the stores, they are going to send us home, cut hard, go, go, come on. be destroyed this is embarrassing take them out of the game take them out take them out take them out I told you not to put me to sleep I was thinking I want to beat them my corner my corner I'm not going to take the l without a fight you have to give me everything you have with the microphone on your leg we They are running up the score, their shooters are making threes, we are super competitive, we are not going to back down from anyone, get out, get out, go, go. come out okay you guys gotta give me everything you got on the other side go safe instead hey jalen coleman is tough and he didn't need to do the two two one he should have played straight man the whole Crowd is excited about backstreet, mike backstreet. corner corner corner Hey man I love racing you guys you guys are fun to kill us man okay we need a stop right here okay we were working our way back but they scored late we lost on our own turf we didn't want to. we did that all year we feel like we let our fans down losing to Dream City was tough they were lucky with the win we feel like we're a much better team than them but you know it happened sometimes that team isn't better than you.

They're not better than you, they've got some talented guys, that team sure isn't better than us, they're not, we just lost, you know, everyone's upset, we're talking about the loss and we all agree that the only way that we can move forward. ahead is if you know we played well as a team and we need to win the next game, you know, have breakfast and then get in my car and go to school. Some days I dress stylishly. I'm Jeff Wesley. I have it pressed every once in a while it's cold, cold out here, man, there you go, Jack, right there, Jack's car is small.

We have Jack Jack, the super driver. I put those new furry ones in the jeep. I trap them in their damn asses underneath Priscilla. You like my masterpiece. right, don't worry about it, you like my masterpiece, right, it's better than that, my masterpiece is great, there's a lot of empty space, what are you doing? I was going to make it an ocean, okay, but what are you doing with the ocean making it blue? I can't just make it blue, oh right, there are like 12 colors, we have drama. Now I am going to improve my acting skills.

Check out the store at the modern store today.

I stand up a little, he jumps high and says, yes, we have Saba's coach, jack jack jack jordan, the dad is just. frank coleman so this is not his jump shot but this is what he does that's coleman got the layup layup on the big man I'm 30 30 man what you say jack likes to think he's a good dancer um every time someone plays music he I'll try to jump up and start dancing, but it's so bad to see Jackson start talking trash, he starts making fun of the way I dance, the whole team does what's up, great, great, wait, wait, Craig, You're ready, ready, Mike Jackson, come on. now you know I'm a better dancer than you and the next thing I know I'm going to dance we don't want to see that dance jack jack uh jack is a funny guy he calls himself the ice man um jack is a person with zero rhythm like when I tell you jack can't dance to save his life like a robber walks into a bank and says jack start dancing and if the dance is bad everyone is going to die everyone is going to die I dance with the biggest heart and soul this team jack starts dancing around you either you walk away or you take out your phone and record it only two options make sure you focus on jackson to make people laugh focus on jack come on come on let's do this it was almost a little disconcerting it was amazing and people threw up you have to hit the wall then we just swayed a little bit and then we kept going we were feeling the rhythm every day I show jax my dance game I feel like I taught him a lot too I feel like I I also taught Jaylen to marry some things by K.O.

I woke up one of my friends who I hadn't talked to in a long time from home and he called me and told me that one of my idols had passed away and I didn't believe them so I hung up. I found out about them and then I went on Instagram and uh tmz and everyone started posting it so I guess it was true for about an hour. I was crying growing up. My childhood idol was also Kobe and when I saw the news, I was speechless. like man i thought that was fake but why don't we take a second to be quiet and i will say a quick sentence basketball is just a small part of our lives and if you think about kobe and his daughter and the others people who were on board that helicopter as if their lives were over now and it reminds me to just appreciate every moment we had together.

If there's one thing you guys learned from this season it's appreciating the moments, appreciating the teammates that you guys love to compete with each other because at the end of the day basketball is just a game, okay,oh my gosh, heaven, we're currently on our way to the airport, we're going to Kentucky, we're going to play in the Grand Junction tournament, no. You won't miss the home run with the steal it's the most important tournament of the year this is what we were waiting for this is what we've been preparing all week in Kentucky the unexpected happens there is a coronavirus going around so everything is safe The games are happening but there are no fans, I know, that's how I feel, we're shaking hands now we're just doing the pictures, the team is excited, we're headed to the grand central world championship, we won't come back unless we have a trophy.

We are ranked in the top 16 in the nation. We have to get out of this number one. We're in Paducah Kentucky right now from the first round of the grind session championship. We lose. It's basically an elimination for us. We will be upset. unhappy this week everything will be about us the gym is quiet there is no one here we need the energy from within there is no one in the crowd so you can lose and be in Kentucky for a week or we can bring our own energy from within all our teammates team because this is our last tournament as a team, you know what I mean, so we really have to corner it, it's a spectacular game, three less to go.

I thought it was a little boring, everyone had fun out there, I got a bucket, I make two friends, I'm very happy here, I got a big block, we are very excited to play with my team, I heard you five times on the bench, buddy, what are you doing? They want me to make, they have sandwiches up there right now, go get a sandwich, buddy, everyone's hungry, we all had shakes today, what do you want for dinner? I don't know about you, but today I felt like I disrespected the banquet as the number one team. I feel like we should have received more respect at a banquet where we basically ran the routine session.

I can't wait to get out there and just show everyone why we should win the world championship now listen to this team, they're 25 years old, they won a lot of games, they beat West Oaks, they beat Trinity last night in overtime, so they feel a little bit impulse, tonight it will all be about energy. here we go three female families here we go our goal is to win the world routine session championship so I think the

prolific

benefit was underestimated this season we easily know that we are the best team in the country that is our plan that is what we have to do do the routine session the world championship consists of 16 elite teams only one team can emerge as champion hey, don't come out with the same energy we had yesterday don't come with the same energy we need to pick it up, upload it right here I can almost taste the championship World Cup, it's so close, let's keep it up, come on, come out, Coleman, okay, this team is actually not bad, they are playing their best game and that's because they want to beat us so badly that no one recovers.

They're going back and forth They're making shots We're making shots Oh, don't foul, look, don't foul, don't foul, come on two, okay, no, sir, I'm in foul trouble, the refs are calling for everything they. nothing for us that is a foul mister nail mike they are super aggressive with us you know they are on us coming out strong hitting their shots how does that happen? We can't afford to lose I can't come out as a losing attack We're fighting each other No, no, no, no, no, buddy, there's a lot to do. I feel very good about our chances of winning.

Listen. You know, none of these guys want to go home. These guys want to beat you to finish. strong half mario would take your hand the passing lane jaylen good pass forward keep shooting the ball jordan i need you good stay mentally locked in we need you in this game jack way to come in and knock down a shot that was great coleman you gotta be careful, these reps They are very, very delicate, you just have to be careful the first two minutes, we are going to attack the basket, attack it, guys, this is, you have to win things in life, man, Jesus, God, take Coleman out before he shoots .

Upstairs, they'll sit in the paint, so you guys have to make shots. We need to change this. Let's do the Kelly. I love you guys, but we have to beat these teams. Jordan, you did a fantastic job attacking the rim. keep attacking the rim on the offensive clock, the team is within striking distance, but we can't seem to overcome that last cross and take away the win, we are in big trouble here guys, we have two minutes, but we better give it a try . Alright, I'm out of the game now. I can not do anything. Thank you so much.

Coleman. Useless. We have been playing for 40 minutes. The boys grab each other's shirts the first time. They are not even fully illuminated. Well, I mean, yeah, but. They don't grab our shirts the whole game there's one minute left, they told us we can't take the lead we can't even tie but we're right behind him, well, a long time, okay, direct rebound, could this be it? at the end of our run, hit it, hit it, stay up, stay up, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, come back or cut, pull, you're going to shoot this double staggered nail that goes down for three, ten seconds left and try to Take a good look at Jalen, he wasn't open so I just dribble, dribble, Jordan hit a clutch three.

The first thing that went through my mind was play defense, there were still four seconds left, back off, sit back, we're going to win this game, okay? We have life I love life I love life We're not going to double up anymore All the guys can shoot Next thing you know we end up losing by five Same situation I'm about to quit the game I can't do anything I'm about to have a fit heart here like we have to compete again pulling the screen down showing it down the river here it comes now jalen is doing everything he can and this guy is getting a piece of it can you tell the screen to tell the rest right now? look at the moving screens blair jalen here comes jaylen backstreet backstreet for jalen backstreet for jalen jalen you have to change that you have to change the path downstream to be able to pass your hand that's a winning play hands out sir well two shots two shots we Let's go close this into a stop when we win the game.

We'll come out of this a winner, here we go, we don't want to give up threes like we did in practice the other day when you're down. three, you never want to give up threes, we give up, we take them off the line and then we get a rebound and we get the ball, stay solid Jordan, we go back and forth, but the game is too close for our comfort, we have to do it. Work your way through this he's going to do this we just can't close it what buddy why do you call this come on it's a big game earn your stripes I'm about to have a heart attack here I can't believe it this is a foul I don't know what happened honestly he called the foul he called the foul three free throws three free throws jalen pump feints they foul him this game is crazy I get up for a second that's too much drama for me that alone It kind of made me nervous the whole season is at stake right here bro, you know it's killing me, I need to know that you're good, you're good, so now it's double overtime, buddy, we got a new life, buddy, okay, that's right, double overtime.

I know I'm super nervous, the team is nervous, go Jake, that's a blatant, blatant, quick reference, take your time, be deliberate, you've got Jack in the corner, here we go, my heartbeat is pumping, Jack, what's wrong? Oh, we're good guys, we need you. one stop, change it, my five got a rebound block, we're going to stay locked in frank, frank, frank, help, no chance, but you guys, this is the toughest team I've ever played on, thanks, we have two left games, we need these dubs tomorrow and hopefully just get this championship very proud of you, hands up, the number three team in Florida is going to beat the number seven team in the country, they drove in vans to come yell at us and they talked after the game, you're talking about the difference. between you know, Callie Ball and Floor Ball, tell me a little bit about the Cali guys, they're pretty chill, but I think they might soften up a little on the east coast, let's go a little hard just for the shock. of you know his finesse in the game with our grinded style and me being the east coast guy we want to make the game as likely as possible with the slam now that we come out of all the rankings for a grind session guys in cali are nice soft, we have to earn our keep now on the west coast, we are going to play against the team we are playing tonight, which we all know is completely different from the team we played last night, they are literally the opposite, they are still very lethal, no They should be taken lightly, believe me, the team we play against is not easy on us, they don't like us and they don't like us.

West Oaks is talking trash on Twitter, they are in the game before cheering on the other team in hopes that we. They don't win, they come from behind, they play on you guys, we have to beat your asses for doing that, they are calling us, see, we have to beat up these guys, we can't go for that, um, let's go later , let's go wash. our hands on that coronavirus that is spreading everywhere, I don't know what is going to happen. The NBA canceled college basketball, so they're probably canceling high school basketball. This may be our last game together because I don't know what's going to happen.

We are here in the middle of nowhere in Kentucky, we have a little change of plans. The county will close the gym tomorrow. There will be nothing open for the gym. The school district here in Marshall County will not allow us to play tomorrow. on Friday, so we're going to move all of our games up two hours so we can potentially play a championship game tonight, so if we win we'll play right after again, everything is being rushed and put into place and trying to organize everything, they changed. it was so fast like I wasn't even ready for it, things are going a little crazy right now with the NBA canceling, the NCAA canceling and now obviously our high school postseason may be on too danger so this is going to be crazy I can't this is crazy this game has problems written all over it as you can see in an empty gym the games are going on but there are no fans so no There is no one in the crowd, no one, not a single person here. a little strange for a big game for us the game has to go on the game has to go on this is a test game we have never lost to a team twice this year and it won't start tonight we are going really excited for this game and I know that they are too, I know what happens with this team, but it is a game of revenge, they beat us the first one.

Jordan runs, we need some energy from the bench, no one is in the corner of the crowd we've been working for. This our whole season we have to win this game rebound what are you looking at? we start the game slow like we always do we always start slow you want to play there are no x's and o's in this game guys together maybe we will be soft we We are starting to get flashbacks of us losing to them. We don't want to feel that pain again. They're going to kick us out of the gym. We can't lose instead of losing two feet on our layups.

We reached a point. jump, stop because they're not going to call fouls, you let them fly by and then you score the dirt, we call our timeout, we get our stuff together and start contributing to tripping to become a game, they want to beat us so bad, good. lift Jordan to the hoop, we're in this right now, we're just going back and forth, barking with our mouths, I said it, he's a barrel, he's a disgusting man, let's get him out of our hands. Saba and I started talking trash to the other team. of the players from another team wanted to fight and things escalated from there it's getting crazy what's his name what's his name they attack his coach he's barking at the referee talking about come on come on man anthony bring him to the bench hey christian call technical break in the coach then everything, one after another, intensifies his coach is not giving up on double technology the coach I don't know why he was upset his boy hit Mario they are quitting hey they are quitting the scholars this is going to get bad from there it's just chaos they're losing they're quitting they canceled us they're quitting have a good flight to Florida they still have some guys they could talk to he was still on the court about the fight we have parents we have everyone separating each other they send us back to the locker room they beat this or the coach who called on the TV he was just saying like uh I was like who are you? who is this like who are you I was telling them like they know me If you just said I'm going to win the country I'm not letting our guys out they think they're tough just because they're from Florida that's dead California hasall the girls on Snapchat, I'm like Zach, you gotta slow down, bro. he has to slow down, he thinks he can get any girl he wants, hey, does it translate on the court, at least, all that confidence that he's known for shooting, like the coach said in the episode?

What he told him you're 511 from Iowa, you gotta shoot But that's my guy and I'm glad you mentioned Coach Joey, it seemed like it rubbed off on you a little during the show, so what was all that about man? No, I think it's all love, I mean, um, I think. he was just taking his anger out more on me, I mean, sometimes I get angry, but I'm not going to do anything to hurt the team or anything, um, and he knows he can probably get away with things like that, but because I'm calm, my parents are calm, my family is calm, no one is going to do anything, so, he is all love.

He wanted us to win every game this year, so he didn't want to lose any games, so he coached us hard and I respect that. hey, despite all that tough love, man, you came to a huge prolific prep time and time again, man, are you the most underrated player in the country? What do you think? I don't want to say that for myself, to become prolific. That was. My goal is to try to be in the top 100 players just to adapt to a system, learn the game of basketball, which you know, made me great with my decision making, working as a team, stuff like that, just competing against the best players. of the world. nation, I mean, I'll let the people decide, but like I said, it's just me knowing my role on the team and doing what's best for the team and that's what motivates me and doesn't excite me. rankings or anything like that, so I'll leave it to the people.

What can Illinois fans expect from you this season? You are taking on a completely new role that can be expected of me. Just being like a positive player on the court like Viste with prolific like uh I know how to win. I can do my best for the team to win. I'm not selfish. Just like I said, come in and impact the team right away. The most important question of all is are you ready to do that? campaigning for illini, yes sir, I can't wait to go out and compete in the big ten, the big ten is difficult, very difficult, but I think this year's team is going to be good, we are going to be charging, I think I'll be ready to beat Coleman before we leave.

Did you have a favorite moment or a specific favorite moment from the season? Yes, you probably went from the day in Ohio playing hunt to preparing to win in the Flying to the Hoop tournament and then I flew to Springfield, Massachusetts to play La La Mira on national television. I think that was one of our best games of the entire year. We all really came together as a team in that game and worked hard and got the win. A great team won, me Coleman. Thanks for finishing with us man, I appreciate you coming on and good luck this year, Illinois man, I'm sure we'll keep an eye on you, thanks, man, I appreciate it.You for having me great, yeah, we're your family of hours extras, we were just talking about him now, so it makes sense that we bring him in now, whether he's shooting his three on the court or hitting a shot with the checkers. our boy is always smooth, well ladies and gentlemen, jack wetzel, welcome, what's good, going well, thanks for having me, let's get into this, man, you became one of the hidden gems, one of the stars of the show, Did you expect that when filming? that you were going to end up being one of the main characters, not at all, I was just being myself and I guess I wouldn't have started to like it and love it and it came out funny and it was It's funny, now you have your own fan page on ig, bro, How has life changed?

Have people been contacting you more after the show ended? Definitely, a lot more people contacted me more. It's really fun, some of them, uh, the fan page is definitely cool. I wasn't expecting that at all and it was just a great moment to have a lot of people contact me. You've got some ladies sneaking into your DM these days. Some of us ask the question. Everyone will want to know, right? I still have a girlfriend, unfortunately I don't have a girlfriend yet. I do not have it. I am not in a relationship at the moment. I travel back and forth, so I can use it as an excuse, but no, I don't have one. girlfriend right now maybe has some gems in the fire, but not yet, not yet, okay, okay, changing the subject a little, what was it like playing with the Unicorn family, general man, what was it, what was it like in another one, just on another level even though I played with him for months and you'd think you'd get used to it, I don't really mean it, it's just that his game is on another level and you know you see dunks all the time, but oh my god. 360 360 to the dunk a between the laziness game is that impressed me, so we want to talk to coach Joey, right, we know he's a little hard on you guys, but it's all out of love, trying to motivate you and push you to do it. be better there's one moment that stood out in particular we got that clip man let's run the clip just record it you're 511 you're from iowa you gotta film the 511 from iowa that's the most classic one I probably have about 60 dms after that episode came out around of 60. that was the most I got out of everything that happened on the show, out of all the things I got 60 dms out of because I'm not 5 11 That's the funniest part.

I'm 6'4. I know you've got some moves. We saw it on the program. We eliminated Jackson in the dance battle. I think we're 1-0 right now and you know not in overtime. I don't know if you watch Summer Throne, but we have our own guy with some moves over time. Sam, what's wrong? What's happening? What's happening? Jack Sam. What's happening? baby. I do not like. I've seen the dance moves, but no. I don't know if they hold up to mine, so we might have to test it out a bit. I think we have to pass the test.

Are we seeing a challenge? Is this going to happen here and now? always in this moment prolific preparation versus extra time sam dance versus jack to the challenge oh this is going to be great so what I need from you two and we will have 30 seconds of dance and at the end of course I am the judge and I choose the winner, I mean, who's going to go first, you can go first, I gotta see my competition first, drop that beat, the DJ shows up real quick, Sam, I like it, I like it, but we gotta see what's coming up with Jack, the dance battle, man, no.

I don't know what to say, okay, there's nothing left to do now but pick a winning drum roll please, and the winner is, I gotta go with my man, the prolific coach Jack, come on, come on, I left my heart on the table, but but. but jack got the dub pop that t-shirt one more time let him know oh yeah prolific okay jack before you go I have one last thing to ask you: was there any favorite moment that stood out from filming the show or throughout the season? Probably when we played with them at the Mavic arena, people always ask me that, but that was the best memory I have because it was packed to the brim, really, with all those people and just to play in the Mavs' finale. arena with all the lights and everything which was so much fun, they were all there, we had some famous people, some NBA guys there, so at that time just fans in general and just playing on that court, it was the best memory I I have on The whole season Jack, I appreciate you coming on man, good luck next season and yeah, it's been great that you like seeing yourself on the show, take it easy and shout that wraps it up for the warm-up reunion show. prolific super team.
