Steve Francis has a repair shop

In addition to being an NBA basketball player, Steve Francis owns and operates a repair shop. He fixes cars, trucks, bicycles, and small appliances. Sometimes Antoine Walker likes to hang around the shop and help out with the work. Today, the alien guy has brought his UFO in because it is having trouble starting in the morning (especially when the weather is cold).

Steve Francis and Antoine Walker have different ideas about what might be wrong with the UFO. Steve Francis thinks that starter motor is bad and will need to be replaced. Antoine Walker believes that it is just the starter solenoid that is faulty and not the entire starter. The only way to find out is to open the UFO up, so they both get to work.

While Steve Francis and Antoine Walker are busy fixing the UFO, they do not notice that they are being spied on. (See photo below) Gary Payton and Vince Carter are trying hard to get a glimpse of the UFO and the alien guy. They have been tracking the movements of the UFO for several days, but they have not told anybody about what they have seen because of a promise they made to Dirk Nowitzki.

The UFO is now all fixed and Steve Francis, Antoine Walker, the alien guy, and the pig are standing around the repair shop enjoying ice-cold sodas. In the end, Steve Francis is correct -- the entire starter has to be replaced, not just the solenoid. This is bad news for the alien guy, because that costs more money, but Steve Francis does his best to give him a break on the price.

UFO sighting

On their first night in Lego Land, Gary Payton and Vince Carter do what they always do when they come to a new town-- go out walking in the woods looking for UFOs. (See photo above) They have not been walking for very long when they see a real live UFO. (See photo below)

Gary Payton and Vince Carter are very excited and go back to find Dirk Nowitzki to tell him what they have found. (See photo below) Dirk Nowitzki is not interested in what they have to say, however, and will not come out to see the UFO no matter how many times they ask. In fact, Dirk Nowitzki is worried that the other NBA players in Lego Land will think that they are crazy for believing in UFOs. He makes Gary Payton and Vince Carter promise that they will tell no one about what they think they have discovered.

For many days after that, Vince Carter and Gary Payton spend all of their free time out in the woods looking at the UFO. (See photo above) What they do not know, however, is that the UFO belongs to the alien guy (pictured below, with his UFO) who is a good friend of all the other NBA players. If only they would mention what they have seen, then the other NBA players could tell them all about their friend, the alien guy. Sadly, they promised Dirk Nowitzki that they would not tell.

Tony Parker is having a party

Tony Parker and his wife, Eva Longoria Parker, are hosting a party for all their friends. Steve Francis was the first NBA player to arrive (see photo above). He was happy to see Devil Smurf there - no one likes it when they show up at a party and they don't know anybody there.
