Meanwhile, Mr. Waterman gives Tom two courtside tickets to the NBA All-Star game. Originally intended to take one of his friends, Shubie lets it be known that she will be going with Tom. Leaving the kids with Tom's parents, they fly to Los Angeles in the company jet. After experiencing much of Southern California's culture, Tom passes the time shouting insults at the players. After the game, the players decide to pay Tom a visit to set him straight.
At the house, the gangsters and NBA players converge and decide to fight to see who gets to enter the house fist. While Tom is amused by the antics outside, Taylor shows up in the doorway. Marty sees him and chases him to his room. As he prepares to bash Taylor, Marty finds out that Taylor is only five years old. Feeling dumb for having similar mistakes in the past, Marty and Taylor make up with Trish asking Taylor to call her when he gets older. The NBA players converge on Tom, with the intent of insulting his mother in payback for insulting Kevin Garnett's mother.
