To: knickman@rocketmail.com (The scene opens with a shot of an urban playground in New York City. The camera slowly pans around the surroundings, giving us a tour of the park. We see a few young black and hispanic children playing on various objects of enjoyment such as swings, sliding boards, the usual playground paraphanellia. The camera continues to pan as we see a teenage boy trying to "kick game" if you will, to a very attractive teenage girl. The shot continues to pan as we hear the following in the background...... ???: GET DAT [CENSORED] OUTTA HERE!!!!! The camera quickly pans over to reveal a full court basketball court. We see a huge, bald, black man, standing over a smaller black man who is laid out on the floor. As we see the orange basketball bouncing away from the court, it is obvious that the man on the floor just got his shot blocked.... Badly. The basketball continues to bounce away from the court as we follow it to the huge foot of a man sitting on the bench. We watch as he reaches down and picks up the ball. Once the camera gets a glimpse of his face, we know who this man is.... He is none other than the SCCW's up and coming superstar.... The Knick Man! The Knick Man is dressed in a grey Nike tank top, and a pair of grey Nike shorts. He holds the basketball in his hands and looks at it with interest) Tall Man: Yo! Throw da rock over here son! (The Knick Man looks at the basketball one more time before throwing it back to the man) Tall Man: Thanks....OH SNAP!!!! Yo dat's Da Knick Man! What up nigga? (The Knick Man simply smiles at the young man and adknowledges him with a nod of his head as he turns towards the camera) The Knick Man: This is New York City! Harlem, New York to be exact! This is where I grew up folks. This is my neighboorhood. This is where I'm from. Yeah, I come from the "hood" so to speak. And I'm not ashamed of my surroundings. As a matter of fact.... I'm proud of them. You see, it takes a special person to rise above his negative past and turn it into a positive. I could have used my social disadvantages to make excuses for myself to do the wrong thing. But I choose not to do that. I made the CHOICE to do the right thing. And that is why I am where I am today. That is why I am undefeated in the SCCW. That is why I am the number 1 contender to the SCCW Television Championship. (The Knick Man pauses contemplently, then continues) Knick Man: And that's the reason why I was COMPELED to make the challenge to Wilde Tanke... You se Wilde my boy.... When you made your "comments" about The New York Knicks, you didn't just disrespect who I am as an individual. That I can deal with. But what you did was show disrespect to the city that I am from. From the city that I was born and raised in. You disrespected the 8 million people that make up the greatest city on the face of the earth. I can tolerate disrespect to my person. But disrespect to eight million people? (smiles) Knick Man: That will NOT be tolerated! (The Knick Man slowly rises off the bench, wiping the sweat from his brow.) Knick Man: And now, this Thursday Night, you are going to find out what happens when you don't show respect for people. You're going to get a first hand lesson in RESPECT 101! And Wilde? I will be YOUR professor! Jersey Match. Knick Man vs Widle Tanke. Loser wears the winners jersey. It's not about the cruiserweight title..... It's not about two men showcasing their wrestling talents for the fans of the Sin City.... It's only about one thing Mr Tanke... RESPECT! Respect dosen't come easy Wilde. But one thing I do guarantee. When it's all said and done... (points the the camera) KNICK MAN: YOU WILL RESPECT ME! (The Knick Man stares at the camera one last time, before turning away from the camera and walking away as the scene fades to black.) === Roosevelt Cooper Handler of The Knick Man [WWO, NWC:SCCW, HHWO] http://members.tripod.com/~knick_man (updated weekly) The subject of the affections of "Erotic" Erin McCoys!!!!
