Theirs was victory's glory.
Come on, y'all. Why y'all still sitting here? The game's all about to start.
Coach, we scared.
There's 10,000 white people out there that think that we ain't good enough.
You know what? Maybe we ain't.
All of y'all feel like that?
Four hundred years in this country...
the black man has been spit on, kicked...
drug through the mud.
But I've got two things I can tell you.
Number one, win or lose...
I am so proud of y'all.
Number two...
You're going to win.
It's just that plain and *** simple.
You're going to win!
But them white boys from Hickory Tech...
- What game are we playing? - Basketball, Coach.
What color is their skin?
- White. - Exactly!
They're white, you're black.
This is basketball...
Am I speaking *** Chinese?
Come on, people. You guys are 25 and 0.
Yeah, Coach, but that was against all-black teams.
That's the point! Y'all are going to kill those Caucasians!
But, Coach, look at their fundamentals.
The fundamentals! It doesn't matter!
It's all the same when you're some cement-foot troglodyte white boy...
getting dunked on with a big pair of black *** nuts...
hanging on your forehead!
Speaking of nuts... Lucious.
Come on up here, Lucious.
Tell them. How long is your ***?
I don't know, Coach. Like a foot.
Foot and a half.
Foot and a ha...
Foot and a half?
Their arm ain't even that long!
All right, let's kick some butt. You scared?
Well, well, well.
You Negroes going to play basketball, or what?
Yeah, you Negroes. What's the matter?
Did you realize you didn't belong in a white man's game, you Negroes?
That's right. This isn't a game for Negroes.
It's a game for good, honest white people, not for Negroes.
You understand, Negroes?
- White Knights! - White Knights!
Man, Coach, they looked tough.
"They looked tough"? I'm so scared!
You know what they might do?
One of them might dribble with his left hand...
all the way down the lane and then go up for a left-handed layup...
and you know what's going to happen then?
Your black *** is going to swat that ***...
jump over his cracker ***, and dunk in his *** face!
How many *** times do I have to tell you?
You're black, they're white, this ain't hockey!
Guys, I think what Coach is trying to say is that the key word is "teamwork."
No, the key word is "you're black, they're white"!
So, Coach, what you're saying is, if we just walk with the Lord...
The Lord? ***, the Lord done did his part already!
He made you black. He made them white.
He gave you a foot-and-a-half ***! Dribble with that ***!
As long as y'all are out there on the floor...
you're going to score more points than them.
That's just how basketball works!
Cut that *** slow clap *** out!
Tries my *** patience!
Go out there and win!
- Let's go! - Come on!
It was a glorious game.
But late in the fourth quarter...
when Lucious Williams dribbled the entire length of the court...
with his foot-and-a-half ***...
the referees had no choice but to call a technical foul...
sending young Bobby Lee Mayflower to the line...
for the most dramatic moment of the contest.
