Quotes
[last lines]
Sally Adams: What is it most of us want from life? For some, it's glory. For others, it's power, money, amd recognition. But, what is it that makes Ken Reeves forsake the opportunities for money and glory open to most professional athletes, to coach basketball in an almost forgotten high school in a Los Angeles ghetto? I don't know if we found the answer, but what I do know is that there are 12 young high school athletes who are glad he does. From all of us... good luck, Kenny Reeves. This is Sally Adams. Goodnight.
