00:10 Flint Tropics' Jackie Moon. Jackie, thanks for taking the time.
00:13 Thanks for having me, Dick.
00:14 Jackie, I think a lot of people would describe tonight's loss as humiliating.
00:18 Well, I don't know about that. We had a good time out there.
00:21 You did have fun.
00:22 How did you learn to play basketball?
00:24 I saw it on TV a couple times. I thought, "I can do that."
00:27 My gosh, it's almost as though you're in some sort of a basketball trance.
00:32 Jackie, what sorts of promotional things do you have coming up this season?
00:37 We've got pancake night, clown makeup night,
00:39 get a live camel in here, and just see what happens.
00:42 Fear not, change!
00:45 [SCREAMING]
00:48 The ABA will be merging with the NBA at the end of this season.
00:54 Yes! Yes! I'm so happy I can't even feel my arms!
00:59 Four teams will be absorbed into the NBA next year.
01:02 Hey, Jackie, the Tropics won't be going--
01:04 Wait, what did you say?
01:05 No!
01:08 You're being-- Jackie, Jackie, don't bite yourself.
01:11 You take the four teams with the best records. They should merge.
01:14 He's right. The season isn't over yet.
01:16 Exactly what he just said.
01:17 The problem is, we suck.
01:19 You did not deserve that.
01:21 I know.
01:22 I apologize.
01:23 We play fundamental basketball. We can make a run at this.
01:27 What is this?
01:29 This is the future of basketball.
01:31 This is our season, and we're gonna finish it.
01:33 Don't worry, guys. I got this.
01:36 I'm very good at free throws.
01:37 Seriously, free throws are probably the best facet of my game.
01:40 Tomorrow, I, Jackie Moon, will wrestle a bear.
01:48 If you feel like you're in danger, just say "Spumoni."
01:52 I don't need Spumoni.
01:53 This is fine. He's not doing anything.
01:55 Jackie Moon!
01:57 Ow!
02:00 Babadi! Babadi!
02:04 Semi-pro.
02:05 Nobody move.
02:06 I think he left.
02:07 Where are you, precious?
02:10 Everybody, get an egg!
02:14 If you have a small child, use it as a shield.
02:16 They love the tender meat.
02:18 (upbeat music)
