Transcript:

Roger(sportscaster): Four seconds left! Izzy Jackson frantically calls for a time out! Mike (sportscaster): I wonder why, Roger! B.D.: Maybe his Rolls was about to be towed. Mike (sportscaster): And with the score knotted at 98 - 98, point guard Izzy Jackson has called for a time-out! Roger (sportscaster): That's right, Mike, and word from the bench is that Izzy wants to re-negotiate his contract! Sources say that the seasoned 2-year veteren feels he's paid his dues and is hungry for some respect, moneywise! Mike (sportscaster): Here comes the general manager! This is a bold move, Roger! Izzy's looking for $150,000 per game! Roger (sportscaster): I don't think he can close it, Mike! Heck, Jordan only gets $400,000 a game! Wait a minute...wait a minute! The ref is signaling a deal! He got it! He got $150,000 per game! Mike (sportscaster): Wow! And he's not even playing tonight, Rog! Roger (sportscaster): Incredible! That kid is some kind of competitor!
