Perhaps your skills do reach farther than basketball. "Further" What? Don't... You said...
Something wrong with the clip?

Perhaps your skills do reach farther than basketball.
Jamal:
"Further"
Prof. Robert Crawford:
What?
Claire Spence:
[whispered to Jamal]
Don't...
Jamal:
[to Crawford]
You said that my skills reached "farther" than basketball. "Farther" relates to distance, "further" is a definition of degree. You should have said "further".
Prof. Robert Crawford:
Are you challenging me, Mr. Wallace?
Jamal:
Not any more than you challenged Coleridge.
