A Father (Tim Bryant) must raise his two sons (Patrick Barkley and Karl Barkley) alone after their Mother (Lisa Barkley) dies during labor. He teaches them basketball, as he was a former NBA player who won multiple championships. The two brothers win AAU championships, high school championships, and a college championship during their freshmen year. A series of terrible tragedies start to happen though. Their Father is killed and Patrick gets hit by a car and becomes paralyzed. Karl goes into a depression and considers dropping out of college and quitting basketball. Patrick advises him against it. He instead tells him to continue playing basketball and win as many championships as possible. Karl struggles to do it without his Brother and Father though. He doesn’t win another championship in college, as a NBA player, as a NBA coach, or as a NBA general manager. This drives him crazy. It drives him into another depression. He can’t shake the feeling of being a failure, a loser, and not living up to the winning pedigree established by his Father and Brother. Karl later decides it’s either suicide or he’s going to murder the man that beat him (Michael Russell) for numerous championships.
