He had an atl connect though. But remember that his rep took a hit with the years he got. Even though 7 years is still long, never understood that.

Time to go!!
Str8nger was the epitome of a smart dumb nigguh. Pook tried to put him on about that weak economics shyt when they had that meeting and stringer went off. Stringer was more stubborn than Avon, imo.

Best way it can be explained.
Right. Avon's reach was beyond the viewer's scope. Obviously it focused on the people around him but it was always evident and hinted that Avon's name far exceeded that of what the viewer was seeing. Marlo, was numerously said to be just a street thug who came and strong-armed the game when Avon was gone and Stringer was focusing on legitimizing instead of enforcement. Writers made a point in the later seasons to try and establish how connected Avon was by all the pull he had with the the system, his connects and the Greek.
Dude was even the man in jail....the man. It's like the writers wanted to remind people on the hierarchy of the show when Marlo showed up to talk to Boris and Avon popped out like
Fred.
Breh u got a clip to this scene?? Been a minute since I seen it
We all got the same 24 hours in a day, and we all use them differently. The days and time Avon spent building his rep and strengthening his foundation was the same time Stringer used to learn how to clean the money and expand the empire, but neither had the full well-rounded skillset needed to transition all the way. The crazy thing is, had they both stayed in their lane and knew their roles, they might have been able to make it all the way clean 10 years later but Stringer couldn't respect the chain of command and chose to move on his own

Damn this debate is on some higher learning level stuff 
Ironically, Marlo got everything Stringer ever wanted. Legitimacy, a clean slate, political connects, but Marlo still yearned for the streets.
