(It was a nice day at the Dearly Farm. The Pups, Scooby and Scrappy were playing with Wallace who planned on playing fetch.)

Cadpig: You know, it's fun to be back on the farm for a while.

Lucky: I know. Sometimes it's fun to stay in Radiator Springs, but it's also sometimes fun to come back here.

Scooby: Reah.

Scrappy: Yeah, it really is. And I'm glad to be with my Uncle Scoob.

(Then Rodger Dearly called out to the Gang)

Rodger: Wallace, Guys, get in the house. I have something I wanna show you.

Wallace: Coming Dad.

(The gang went inside the house and saw Rodger holding up a letter)

Wallace: Who did you get a letter from?

Rodger: Got it from my old friend, LeBron James.

Wallace: Isn't he the best basketball player besides Michael Jordon.

Rodger: He is. He even said to bring you, Anita, Amber and dogs with us.

Wallace: Awesome! But wait, what was your childhood like when you were a kid?

Rodger: Oh, I remembered like it was yesterday.

(Flashback)

Shanice: All right. My shift's not over till 9:00. So tell Coach C I'm gonna be a few minutes late picking you up, okay?

Young LeBron: Okay

Shanice: Good luck out there today

Young LeBron: Thanks

Shanice: Hey. You know, if I could, I would be in those stands cheering for my baby

Young LeBron: I know. Next game

Shanice: Hey, Bron? You forgetting something?

[chuckles]

Young LeBron: Love you, Ma.

Shanice: I love you too, baby.

Young Rodger: Hey LeBron, come on. You're gonna miss your game.

Young LeBron: Coming.

♪Ghetto superstar♪

Shanice: All right. Go kill it.

(Both LeBron and Rodger went into the basketball court as they sat on the bench. Then their friend, Malik shows up)

♪That is what you are♪

1998

Akron, Ohio

♪Coming from afar Reaching for the stars♪

♪Run away with me To another...♪

Young Malik: What's up, Bron? What's up, Rodger?

Young LeBron: What's up, Malik?

Young Rodger: Hey Malik.

[snaps fingers]

(Malik hand them both a video game device)

Young Malik: Check it out. It's for you. My dad got me the new color one. Oh, and if it freezes up on you, just smack it really hard. Works every time.

Young LeBron: Thanks, man.

[beeps]

Young Malik: Let's go get this win. Phew!

[Video Game music playing]

[mouthing]

Bugs Bunny (on GameBoy): Eh, what's up, Doc?

Coach C (off-screen): Hey, where Bron at? LeBron James!

Young Rodger: (Off-Screen) LeBron, The coach is calling you.

Bugs Bunny (on GameBoy): Eh, what's up...

Coach C: What the hell is this?

Young Rodger: Whoa! Language!

Young LeBron: Oh, snap!

Coach C: "Oh, snap" nothing, man. Get your tail on the court right now! Whatchu doing?

Young Rodger: Goodluck, LeBron.

(LeBron got on the course and played.)

Coach C: Hey, hey, hey! Iso! Iso for Bron! Nobody else shoot the ball. All right, Bron, you keep that ball! You shoot the ball.

-Iso! Iso! Iso!

Coach C: You know what to do, baby. Let's go. It's your world

[students cheering]

(As LeBron went to shoot the ball into the hoop, the ball missed the hoop)

[buzzer sounds]

[all groan]

Coach C: Damn! Damn! It's all right, it's all right. Damn! Come on, line up. Line up in front of me. Line up right here in front of me.

A/N: Guys, I did put this as a Rated M thing. This is part of the movie. If you want me to change it, let me know in the comments.


(LeBron and Rodger exit the course as it turned night time)

Coach C: Listen, man. I'm not even disappointed about us losing the game tonight 'cause it's not about that. It's about you giving your all, and you didn't do that tonight. LeBron. You wasn't focused. Getting your head in the game starts before you even put one foot on the court. It starts before you even get to the gym

Young LeBron & Young Rodger: But everybody on the team plays video games--

Coach C: LeBron. Rodger. This ain't about everybody, this is about you. Listen, you're the best basketball players I ever coached. You could be a once-in-a-generation talent if you focus on the game of basketball and not these distractions. You can't be great without putting in work, right? You got the chance to use basketball to change everything. For your mom, for you, for everybody who you care about. You want that?

(LeBron throws the game in the trashbin and walks away. But Rodger was still by the bin and picked the game out of the trash)

(End Flashback)

Wallace: You really picked it out of the trashcan?

Rodger: Yes. But I washed it and I had it still ever since. I would watch LeBron on TV a lot ever since I moved away to live in London. But now, I will be able to see him again. Get ready folks because we're going to meet my old friend.
