Chapter 1

Time Period:Present Day Location:Los

Angeles, California

We now shift to the present day where we look over a big house on a hill, this is the James Residence.

It was a bright day today and outside in a basketball court we saw two young boys there, one practicing and the other playing a game of some sort.
Darius, the one who's practicing, asks this question.

Darius: So how much work does your video game need? It's been months.

Dom, the one on the console replies.

Dom: It's almost ready.

Darius then asks.

Darius: Like how you're "almost ready" to tell dad about the E3 game camp next weekend?

Dom: I'm waiting for the right time.

Darius: Honestly, I just think you should rip the Band-Aid off and ask him.

Dom: You're just saying that cause he says yes to everything you ask.

Darius: That's because I'm nice.

Dom: You are not that nice.

Darius: That's big talk. See if you can back it up.

Dom goes around Darius and shoots the ball but it hits the underside of the hoop.

The two are having a blast when they hear.

[LeBron] Dom. What was that?

Dom: An open shot.

LeBron: And if you're gonna be out here, it's about giving everything that you got. And not whatever that was. Where's your fundamentals?

Dom: We having fun.

LeBron: Everything in between these four lines is work.

Dom: Who said I wasn't working?

LeBron: This thing right here.

[beeping]

LeBron: Told you not to bring that out here. Come on, Dom. This isn't a game. I need you focusing more...

Darius: [mouthing]

LeBron: ...instead of playing with these toys. Darius, chill out. You know I got full court vision.

Darius: How does he do that?

[LeBron] Ball.

LeBron calls for a ball from the ball machine.

LeBron: Show me that step-back move I taught you. You got this, son. In and out. Crossover.

[Dom] In and out.

LeBron: Step back. Come on, Dom. You gotta concentrate. Darius, show him the move.

Darius: Watch me. Ball. In and out. Crossover. Step back. Shoot.

LeBron: Yep. See, that's 'cause your brother been putting in that work.

Darius: I ball all day.

After saying that, he gets hit by a ball from the launcher.

Dom: [laughs]

LeBron: Dom. Focus. You got basketball camp next weekend. Those boys gonna be coming at your neck. Seeing what you got.

[melancholy music playing]

LeBron: Oh, we quitting on each other now? Can't be great without putting in work.

Then Kamiyah and Xosha come in.

Kamiyah: Enough of these games.

[Dom] Okay. I'm ready.

Kamiyah: (sighs) Boys! Y'all can't stay out here all day. It's dinnertime.

Dom: What are we having for dinner? Spaghetti and meatball?

Again, Darius got hit by a ball and fell to the ground.

LeBron: Ooh, that's my favorite.
