Heartwarming / Good Wilt Hunting

Go To

  • "I created you to make me a better ball player. But instead, you made me a better person."
    Jordan: I can't thank you enough.
    Wilt: There's no need.
    Jordan: You're a hero!
    Wilt: I'm sorry, I'm not.
    (Jordan holds up his right hand and rolls up his jacket sleeve to reveal he's kept Wilt's other wristband all these years)
    Jordan: Wilt… you're the best friend I ever had. You gotta quit saying you're sorry. It's not okay. …Okay?
    (long Beat as the two look at each other)
    Wilt: Okay.
    (They hug as everyone else cheers)
  • All of the antics and craziness the main characters go through to, just to find Wilt.
  • Eduardo's backstory. The gentle nature comes (at least partially) from the fact that his creator wanted him to be nice to her little brother (who was just a baby at the time).
  • The scene where Wilt comforted that poor crying pink teddy bear imaginary friend and took her back to her owner and when the little girl reunites with the bear her and her family share a good cry of tears of joy.
    • Most anything Wilt does on the way, really.
  • Jordan asking Wilt to come live with him and offering to make him famous—even after all they went through, Jordan still wants his old friend by his side.
    • While Wilt's obviously tempted to take the offer, he ultimately declines and wants to go back to Foster's, but Wilt's reasoning for it makes sense: Wilt knows that another kid will end up needing him just like Jordan needed him when he was younger. Though Jordan's obviously a little saddened by this, he accepts that it's what Wilt wants and the two compromise by promising to keep in touch and visit each other once in a while.
  • The last scene: Jordan and Wilt having a one-on-one basketball match.
