Rosie how are you? Hey man that was really out of sight. Well thanks Rosie.Wow you sure are big. Well you know being big get me into a lot of doors. Well you're big enoughto be an athlete. So you ever play any sports? Just a little figure skating. Why don't you comeup to the house and play some basketball with us sometime? Oh I'll see if I can round up afew figure skaters. You better bring your best man because me and my brother's gonna put you away.Beat us? You little guys? Right. In your wildest dream you ain't never seen a team like I got.Peanuts! Popcorn! Peanuts! Popcorn!The sporting world's had many teams the fans have called first rate. Had the Yankees in the 40s.All agreed we're really great. Packers and Celtics piled up records hard to beat.But good as they all seem to be, they tasted of defeat. No team has ever won them all and alwaysstayed on top. Except that group of superstars no team could ever stop. A bunch of splendid athleteswho all stood strong and tall. They called themselves the dream team and their game wasbasketball. The center of a massive collection of bones was known by the nickname the skyscraperJones. The forwards were both brilliant ball handlers too named Kangaroo Carson and Dead Eye Magoon.The guards were two giants who played with great cool called Bulldozer Vincent and Hookshadow Tool.Together they moved like a well-oiled machine and ran up such scores it was almost obscene.Team is unbeatable everyone said and if no one can beat them then basketball is dead.Basketball is dead, yes basketball is dead. No team will beat them so no team can meet them to defeatdead. But wait folks, it's not.From out of Indiana like bees from a hive came a little known team called the Jackson 5.They came with a mission impossibly tough to whip the dream team till they're hollering up.We'll rattle your brass, we'll muzzle you guys. We'll tackle each one of you right down the fire.We'll sever your tendons till all of you fall. The Jacksons will beat you and say basketball.A laugh rolls up on the dream team side and they laugh so hard that you nearly cry. Go home littleboys, get off the court. It's a big man's game you're much too short. Too short my foot that's justyour way of saying you're afraid to play. Afraid to play, hear that squirt, calm before you all get hurt.We'd like to get just one thing straight, we heard you guys was really great but so far all we heardis talk. Are you gonna play or are you gonna walk? With that the dream team got real mad and they blew whatlittle cool they had. This time you guys, you've gone too far. We'll show you all how good we are.We'll play you now but we're so sore, we may not even let you score. Oh yeah, oh yeah, we've heard it all.Let's cut the talking, let's play ball. So the team lined up and the ball was tossed and the game got underwayand the dream team knew from the very first step that the Jacksons knew how to play.They dribbled, they passed, they faked, they shot, they hustled, they drove right on throughand every time that the dream team scored, well the Jackson 5 scored too.When the buzzer went off at the end of the half, the dream team wanted to hide.They couldn't believe it was happening but the score was really tied.We gotta stop those guys, we gotta stop them quick, we gotta realize they're looking mighty slick.We've got to start our drive or think of some good trick to stop the Jackson 5, they're making us look sick.Sick, sick, sick. Hey, I got a way. Let's fill them up with peanuts and popcorn and then see how they play.Hey Mr. Bender, listen to me. Those Jacksons could use some energy, so pass out the tray and let them ***.We're such good force, we'll pick up the tab. We've got a great attack, we got them on the run.If we can hold them back, then we'll be number one. We'll have the final laugh, joke will be reversed.Let's play the second half the way we played the first. Jackie, come and check the score.I'll be right back guys, don't leave the floor. Peanuts, popcorn, have a ball. Free up charge kids, take it all.Free up charge, is that for real? Free up charge, that's some good deal. Maybe we shouldn't, maybe we should.It may be bad, and maybe it's good. What if Jackie finds out? Who's gonna tell? Then I guess we might as well.So the Jacksons ate till all the food was gone, while the cheerleaders cheered the two teams on.Bebop, ribop, sooty roop, exactly. Come on dream team, let's stop Jackie, Michael, Marlon, Tito and Jermaine.We've got the brawn, we've got the brain. Dream team, dream team, floydoy, floydoy, floydoy.1-2-3, A-B-C, do-re-mi, man alive, ho-go-ho, ho-ho-ho, go-go-go, Jackson 5.The whistle blew for the second half, the excitement filled the place. You could tell both teams were all charged up as they stood there face to face.They dribbled, they passed, they played, they shot, they moved with dazzling speed, but the two teams seemed so evenly matched, neither one could hold a lead.With 15 seconds left in the game, the dream team led by one. They knew if they could freeze the ball, the Jacksons would be done.Just then, the four young Jackson boys began to moan and groan. They dropped to the ground with belly aches, leaving Jackie standing alone.Too much popcorn, too many peanuts, and too much junk. Sorry Jackie, we let you down.It looked like the Jackies had sunk. The ref called time to remove the boys. The game's over, he said. You're through, but Jackie said.Ref, I'll play myself if that's what I have to do. So the ref gave Jackie the ball and said, there's time for one more play.And Jackie said, ref, that's all I need. I know I'll find a way. Jackie took the ball and started out way at the end of the court,but he still had to get past five of the best who ever played the sport. As the clock kept ticking, seconds away, no mistake could he afford.But he went all the way with a brilliant display, and as the buzzer went off, he scored!All the fans in the stands went wild when Jackie won the game. And the dream team said that he played so well, he belonged in the Hall of Fame.So the Jackson 5 ended up on top, and we thanked them one and all. For not only did they beat the best, they also saved the game of basketball.
