NBA Digital - Big Moments
Sean Jacob Hakim
Robert De Niro is watching “The List” on his NBA app. He is pretty locked in. You hear a woman yelling and hear nurses trying to calm her down.
De Niro
Hey Darling, you mind toning it down a little, I’m trying to watch The List here
His daughter is astonished he just asked her to quiet down. Starts yelling again because she is giving labor.
Cut to granson’s baptism. De Niro is standing next to the priest. He takes a step back and pulls out his phone. He is watching highlights of Giannis. The priest dunks the baby, wraps it in a towel, and hands it back to the mother.
De Niro
Oooh! Dunk it!!
Everyone looks at De Niro astonished. He points at his phone.
Priest
With this, little Jeffrey is…
He checks into Pick ‘Em and is deciding which games to bet on. De Niro pops up next to the priest, nudging his shoulder and interrupting him.
De Niro
What do you think about tonight, father? Sixers or Celtics?
Family is shocked and the priest makes a surprised face.
Priest
Umm..Sixers. Yeah, definitely Sixers.
Jump to grandson’s prom night. De Niro is tying Jeffrey’s tie around his neck. His phone is in his grandson’s hands. He is watching the Trailblazers vs. Rockets game on the NBA App. Someone scores in the game. Jeffrey jumps.
Jeffrey
YES!
De Niro has to start over because the tie gets undone from Jeffrey jumping.
De Niro
Give me that!
Both start watching together.
Jumps to prom pictures and Jeffrey’s tie is still undone. His mom looks pissed and stares down De Niro, who shrugs and mouths “sorry”
Cut to senior night basketball game. De Niro is in the stand checking the stats on Lou Williams. The game starts. De Niro is clearly conflicted on whether he should keep watching or not. He looks up at the game and down at his phone. He turns on alerts and puts his phone in his pocket. He stands up to cheer
De Niro
Let’s go Jeffrey!
