APARTMENT

00:43.076 --> 00:43.377
AND

00:43.377 --> 00:44.811
IN THE TIME BETWEEN WHEN WE

00:44.811 --> 00:46.046
SIGNED THE LEASE AND

00:46.046 --> 00:46.647
WE MOVED

00:46.647 --> 00:48.315
IN, THEY CHANGED THE

00:48.315 --> 00:48.682
OVENS

00:48.682 --> 00:48.982
AND

00:48.982 --> 00:50.184
A COUPLE OTHER THINGS

00:50.184 --> 00:51.185
AND

00:51.185 --> 00:52.286
DOWNGRADED

00:52.286 --> 00:53.053
AND WE

00:53.053 --> 00:53.420
COULDN'T

00:53.420 --> 00:54.755

I KNOW SOME THINK IT IS

01:38.265 --> 01:38.999
AN

01:38.999 --> 01:40.200
ABERRATION BUT I'VE NEVER HAD

01:46.807 --> 01:48.242
ONLY THIS NIGHT WHEN THEY

01:48.242 --> 01:50.477
CLINCHED BUT THE NIGHT BEFORE

01:50.477 --> 01:51.678
AS WELL WHEN THEY

01:51.678 --> 01:52.246
CLINCHED A

01:52.246 --> 01:53.514
TIE AND THEN

01:53.514 --> 01:54.214
THE ORIOLES

01:54.214 --> 01:54.848
WERE

01:54.848 --> 01:56.383
STILL PLAYING IN

01:56.383 --> 01:56.783
KANSAS

01:56.783 --> 01:57.351
CITY.

01:57.351 --> 01:59.219
PEOPLE POURED ON TO THE FIELD

01:59.219 --> 02:00.087
AND THEY CAME UP ON

02:00.087 --> 02:00.387
THE

02:00.387 --> 02:01.154

WERE CARRIED AWAY BY THE

02:08.295 --> 02:08.929
CROWD.

02:08.929 --> 02:09.396
>>SURE.

02:09.396 --> 02:10.864
FROM THE BEGINNING IT WAS LIKE

02:10.864 --> 02:12.399
SUPPOSED TO BE A FAN'S EYE

02:12.399 --> 02:12.933
VIEW OF THE GAME.

02:12.933 --> 02:14.401
I THINK EVOLVED OVER

02:14.401 --> 02:15.769
TIME.

02:15.769 --> 02:15.869
IT

02:15.869 --> 02:17.437
DID BECOME MORE

02:17.437 --> 02:17.971
SPORTS

02:17.971 --> 02:19.540
WRITERLY P IF THAT'S A WORD.

02:19.540 --> 02:20.440
AT THE TIME,

02:20.440 --> 02:21.842
IT WAS LIKE A

02:21.842 --> 02:23.043
FAN'S EYE VIEW -- TRYING TO

02:23.043 --> 02:24.912
GET THE DRAMA THAT WASN'T

02:24.912 --> 02:25.746
BEING CAPTURED IN

02:25.746 --> 02:26.547
THE

02:26.547 --> 02:27.447
DAILIES.

02:27.447 --> 02:28.615
THEY WOULD TELL WHEN SOMEBODY

02:28.615 --> 02:30.551
HIT A HOMERUN.

02:30.551 --> 02:31.285
MOMENTS I THOUGHT WERE

02:31.285 --> 02:32.853
DRAMATIC AND DESERVED TO

02:32.853 --> 02:33.120
BE

02:33.120 --> 02:34.821
WRITTEN ABOUT THAT MIGHT BE A

02:34.821 --> 02:35.989
DOUBLE PLAY OR MISSED DOUBLE

02:35.989 --> 02:37.391
PLAY AND THOSE WERE KEY

02:37.391 --> 02:38.625
ELEMENTS OF THE GAME.

02:38.625 --> 02:39.793
IN THAT NIGHT, AND THE

02:39.793 --> 02:40.093
NIGHT

02:40.093 --> 02:41.562
BEFORE, PEOPLE POURED ON TO

02:41.562 --> 02:42.329

COME BACK THE

02:50.204 --> 02:51.672
NEXT NIGHT TO CLINCH IT.

02:51.672 --> 02:52.539

YOU ALSO LOOK AT HIGH SCHOOL

06:29.089 --> 06:29.423
SPORTS.

06:29.423 --> 06:30.657
ONE HAS TO DO WITH

06:30.657 --> 06:31.258
GARNETT AND

06:31.258 --> 06:32.459
WHAT A REMARKABLE PLAYER

06:32.459 --> 06:32.726
HE

06:32.726 --> 06:33.493
WAS.

06:33.493 --> 06:34.995

06:34.995 --> 06:35.696
YOU?

06:35.696 --> 06:37.264
>>THING THAT WAS REALLY

06:37.264 --> 06:38.031
AMAZING ABOUT HIM.

06:38.031 --> 06:39.399
HE WAS JUST

06:39.399 --> 06:40.200
UNBRIDLED

06:40.200 --> 06:40.934
POTENTIAL.

06:40.934 --> 06:41.869
HE WAS

06:41.869 --> 06:42.870
--

06:42.870 --> 06:43.871
EVEN PLAYING FOR FAR

06:43.871 --> 06:45.772

CENTER THAT HE IS NOW, HE WAS

06:56.149 --> 06:57.651
JUST A GUY THAT COULD DO

06:57.651 --> 06:58.485
ANYTHING HE WANTED ON THE

06:58.485 --> 06:58.919
COURT.

06:58.919 --> 07:00.521
ONE OF THE JOYS OF

07:00.521 --> 07:01.088
WATCHING

07:01.088 --> 07:02.589
HIM WAS THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE

07:02.589 --> 07:03.824
ANY SENSE OF ANY LIMITS

07:03.824 --> 07:04.124
TO

07:04.124 --> 07:05.325
WHAT HE COULD DO.

07:05.325 --> 07:06.527
HE WOULD RUN,

07:06.527 --> 07:07.528
SLING THE BALL

07:07.528 --> 07:08.762
BACK HAND, BEHIND THE BACK

07:08.762 --> 07:09.396
, ON

07:09.396 --> 07:10.664
A FAST BREAK

07:10.664 --> 07:11.732
AND

07:11.732 --> 07:12.065
IT

07:12.065 --> 07:12.933
-- HIM

07:12.933 --> 07:13.433
AND

07:13.433 --> 07:14.668
FIELDS, TREMENDOUS TEAM.

07:14.668 --> 07:16.203
I WAS LUCKY.

07:16.203 --> 07:17.104
I GOT TO SEE

07:17.104 --> 07:17.905
BOTH

07:17.905 --> 07:18.572

DERRICK ROSE AS HIGH SCHOOL

07:20.974 --> 07:21.875
PLAYERS.

07:21.875 --> 07:23.010
WHEN THIS

07:23.010 --> 07:24.378
-- WHEN I STARTED

07:24.378 --> 07:25.579
DOING THE COLUMN, OF

JORDAN IS

07:35.756 --> 07:37.024
ON THE SCENE AND I GET

07:37.024 --> 07:37.324
THE

07:37.324 --> 07:38.592
BULLS THROUGH THE 90s,

07:38.592 --> 07:39.159
