White Shadow season 1 episode 4 - Bonus Baby


Plot - Warren Coolidge stars at the Inter-city tournament and becomes MVP despite Carver finishing second. This attracts the attention of unsavory sports agents that want him to forego college and declare for the NBA. Never mind that he is nowhere near that level of player. They just want a piece of his bonus. Coolidge aids them by become prideful and arrogant.
Coolidge is seduced by the fast talking agent and sexy lady who shows him around town. Luckily Reeves and a certain dishwasher were able to prevent Coolidge from making the wrong decision, and by the end he had shunned the agent and returned to his simple life.

Observations - This is another example of White Shadow being before its time. Nowadays this would be a blah story as we've seen so many real-life Coolidges either succeed in the NBA or fall way short.
The agent wore an suit, unbottoned shirt and gold chain.
Many references that Coolidge was the nest "Dr. J".
