NBA: Coach, I Want to Get on the Court

From the start, I have a three-point shooting trial card, but the coach keeps me glued to the bench.

We're down by thirty, and all the starters are taken out.

The fans have lost all hope and start heading for the exits.

I look at the coach. "Coach, I want to play."

I'm the Lakers' coach.

We're down by thirty in this game, and I'm feeling pretty hopeless, so I take out all the starters.

The fans have started heading for the exits.

Then a young man with yellow skin looks at me and says, "Coach, I want to play."

Well, he's only on a ten-day contract. Let's see what he can do.
