Yo, guys. What goin' on?

Look at that, there's going to be a slam dunkin' basketball contest

tonight at Pow Pow Square.

That's right. The one that shoots the most hoops wins the prize.

What's the prize? Cheese pie? Poppa's pizza?

That's the part me can't believe.

The prize is an official Mouseland Grovetrotters basketball

from back in the day.

Signed by all of dem players.

-That's cool!

-That's right. Dem was all legends, them guys.

Dem was incredible.

Me remember seeing them Mouseland Grovetrotters years ago.

Man, the skills they had and the moves they was bustin' was awesome.

Me would love to win dat prize. Mmmm.

Shame. Me totally useless at basketball.

Ha! That's right! But me bet me is more rubbish than you.

Me really want to enter that contest.

You do? You think you're good enough to win it?

Well, me think me'd have to brush up on me skills first but, man,

me would love to win that basketball for them orphans.

Them only have that lickle old tatty football to play with.

Well, me tink you should give it a go, Scratchy.

As they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Anyway, Crew, let's shift.

Yo, MJ, what's up, breda? You cool?

Yo, Easy Crew. Me cool.

In fact, me is better than cool, cos I found out about

the basketball contest tonight

and I is definitely going to win that, for sure.

-Oh, yeah? How you know that, MJ?

-You ain't seen my skills?

Ooh!

Bear skills, breda. Check this out.

You see anyone play better than that

since Mouseland Grovetrotters retired? Cos I ain't.

This contest not just about skills, MJ.

-You have yo be able to shoot dem hoops.

-Daaat's easy.

Yeah, but can you shoot dem hoops with everyone watchin' you?

That's a lot of pressure, you know.

Cos me hear that contest going to be packed out tonight.

Trust me, guys, I'm going to shoot the hoops and scoop the prize.

Safe.

-Laters.

-Laters, MJ.

-Good luck.

Hey, Scratchy, let's play that track you love.

-You know, your favourite one.

-Yeah, man!

That's a cool idea, Zoomer. Let's jam.

OK, guys.

You know what, guys, you're going to have to jam without me today.

-Oh, man!

-Why? What's up Scratchy?

Me can't get into the vibes, cos me know me going to have to spend

every last minute practising, if me going to stand a chance

of winning that basketball for them orphans.

Sorry, guys.

Me going to head over to Pow Pow Square. Laters.

This track is hotter than hot, Rastamouse.

RADIO BUZZES

Rastamouse, come in, come in. Are you reading me?

Message from President Wensley Dale. Come immediately.

Oh, man, it no my day today.

Come on, let's shift.

-But what about Scratchy?

-We can pick her up on the way.

-Yo, me Crew. Me thought you was jamming?

-Yeah, we was.

Then we got a call from the President.

-He needs us at his crib immediately.

-Oh, man!

How me ever gonna be good enough to win when I can't get no practise?

Cheer up, Scratchy.

Looks like you still stand an excellent chance to me.

-What do you think, Zoomer?

-For sure.

-Oh, thanks, guys.

-All me can do is try my best.

-Come on, let's move.

Ooh! Ha-ha!

-Woo-hoo!

-Coming through!

Easy Crew, thank goodness you're here. Me need you all to listen.

Me just had a call from the orphanage to say

that weird things going missing.

First, the orphans' football gone.

Then one of Bagga T's string vests, then Bandulu's pastry cutter.

-Now everyone getting stressed.

-No worry, Wensley Dale.

We're on the case. Come on, Crew, to the orphanage.

Yo, Bagga T, what goin' on?

Me name Bagga T, Bagga Trouble, double G.

Something gone missing that's important to me.

It was one of me string vests, not just any, it me best.

Me was planning to wear it to the basketball contest.

-We should go and talk to Bandulu.

-Thanks, Bagga T.

-See you later, man.

-Laters, Easy Crew.

Oh boy, me glad to see you three. Dem orphans are well upset.

First their lickle football went missing,

so me decide to make some cheese pie to cheer them up.

That's when me discovered that my pastry cutter had been thieved, too.

Now not one of them lickle ones upset about the ball,

they're extra hungry, too.

-You sure you not just lost them things, Bandulu?

-Me more than sure.

Me positive. Me always keep them things in the same place.

No worry, Bandulu. You could always try using an upturned plate

to cut the pie pastry in the meantime.

Thanks, Rastamouse, that's a great idea!

Irie!

Come on, Crew, let's look for clues.

-You find anything, Scratchy?

-No. Me no find nothing.

How about you, Rastamouse?

No, nothing, and it nearly time for the contest.

We'd better start heading to Pow Pow Square. You set, Scratchy?

-Me think so.

-Bet you're going to mash up the place with your skill.

True that. Come on, let's shift.

Yo, Rastamouse. You comin' or what?

What up. Mmm, paint.

Hurry, guys. Me not want to miss the contest.

Right, guys, me think me going to check around here for clues.

-Around here?

-Yeah, man. Me just following a hunch.

-You stay and support Scratchy and me check you soon.

-Yeah, man.

Oh, what this? Mmmm.

More orange paint. Mmmm.

-Yo, Rastamouse, you find anything?

-Yeah, man. Look at this.

If that's Bagga T's best vest, he not going to be happy about that.

Me sure it is. Me guess is the thief is going to show up here tonight.

Greetings, everybody. Welcome one and all.

Me wish all of you the best of luck

in trying to win this boom basketball.

Me declare this contest open.

So me now going to make no speech,

cos it's time to get the basketball rolling.

Step up! You all get three shots each.

Shoot dem hoops, Scratchy!

-Oh!

-Go on, girl!

Oh, man!

Go on. Oh!

Ah!

Man, that is strange.

Would the next contestant step up and take their turn, please?

Time to show 'em how it's done.

Whoah! Shoot the hoops.

Yeah!

CROWD CHEERS

-MJ's got some skills.

-Yeah.

No offence, Scratchy, but he wipe the floor with everyone.

Slam dunk! Whoo!

Orange paint. Hmmm?

Me have great pleasure in announcing that after that awesome display

that we have an obvious clear winner.

-The sharp-shooting genius, MJ.

-Thanks, President.

Not so fast there, MJ, cos me think it's time you explained how you

manage to score all of them hoops when no-one else could do the same.

I guess I'm just the bestest and my skills dem extra fat.

Dat must be why I'm the winner.

There's just no contest. Dat is dat.

Then, MJ, me gotta ask you to please explain to me

what this orange paint and bits of vest were doing behind them tree?

OK, I fess up. I did some bad stuff, cos me knew me would never win.

I can't perform when everyone's watching,

so me set up a fake hoop and ball and ting.

Me used the pastry cutter and the string vest to fake a hoop

that was too small, so none of the other contestants could score.

But I used the orphans' smaller ball,

so I was sure I was the only one to score.

MJ, you know if you want to win there's no need for you to cheat.

When you're under pressure, try pretending

that you're just playing in the street.

If you practise really hard, your skill's then bound to flow.

No matter how heavy the pressure, trust me,

you can still put on a show.

I'm so sorry, Rastamouse. Sorry, everyone.

Enough now, MJ.

Me have an idea how you can start to make a bad thing good.

WHISPERS

-That plan sound proper, Rastamouse.

-Sweet.

OK. Yeah, you. Yeah!

-You is one wicked basketball coach, MJ.

-Thanks, Scratchy.

-You want to play some one-one-one later?

-Me would love that.
