Whatcha got for us today?
Oh, looks like a special delivery.
Look, guys!

All right.
"Dear Globetrotters,
"everyone at Mutt & Stuff loves you guys,
"so we want to play you in a game of basketball.
Signed your biggest and furriest fan, Stuff."
- Play basketball against the Globetrotters?
Stuff, I don'’t think that'’s a good idea.
The Globetrotters are really, really, really good.
- Hmm.
- They could score points a game.
- Really?
Uh-oh.
Uh, I guess I shouldn'’t have invited them to play against us.
- Well, maybe they'’re too busy and won'’t get back to us.
- Yeah.
[Paw Pad chimes]
- Yikes! Uhh, they got back to me!
And they sent a video.
- Well, that was fast.
All right, play it.

And I think I just did.
Follow me.

I know how we can b*at the Globetrotters with this.

As long as I'’ve got him with me, I never miss a sh*t.
He'’s my good luck charm.
Watch this.
I call this sh*t my Lucky Murray Super sh*t.
[giggles]
Huh?
- Whoa, Stuff.
Those are some serious moves.
You'’ve got game.
Well, even if Murray is lucky,
the best way to get good at something is to practice.
- Hmm?
- Now, real basketball hoops
are a little bigger than this one,
but this should be just perfect to practice.
Okay, team, let'’s see some baskets.
