What you think Black Americans are? They African and running shyt


I know but i meant african nikkas living in Africa. Some of them make it out but there's mad talent out there they never get a shot

Also black americans usually spend childhood playing the sport they end up pro in....not as many cases as dudes just picking up a sport at 17 and becoming a pro 3-5 years later. i get what u saying tho

Similar story with my older cousin... We played backyard football and jailhouse rules bball and shyt as kids.. Nothing organized, ever. Drawing up plays in the dirt before the next play type of shyt

SENIOR YEAR, he decides to play football out the blue... Broke damn near every single season rushing record in the state of PA and got a full ride to a lot of places, but chose UCONN.. Never asked why... But it goes to show how much that next level up is.... Even at UCONN, he couldn't even get on the field as an RB, and only got high as special teams play... Cause that's how goddamn good the next 2 men are, even at a trash school (for football)

College and then pro players are just on another goddamn level of human being

:dwillhuh:
so my homie’s son after leaving Africa at 10 spent three years in Sweden for where he played in one of those major soccer academies before moving to San Diego with his dad two years ago (@Rekkapryde his dad was the one I told you pressing 400 in HS and always trying to choke me out :russ: )
You ever have a delusional homie you think bigs up his son because it's his son? I thought this was the case until he started posting his son’s videos showing him jumping out of the damn gym swatting some kid’s shyt with two hands playing organized basketball for the first time. :dahell:

So two years ago was his first time playing organized football in the States. They put him on JV. He's raw as fukk, obviously, having never played before. By mid season, they moved him to varsity. Mind you...this niqqa is 6’2 and only weighs 190 pounds and plays DE/WR/DB for his HS which plays the Mater Dei’s of the world out in Cali. His son gets an invite to an IMG showcase after showing out in some camp in LA.

i’ll let his dad spell out what happened next

This dude is a genetic freak.


This dude has an invite from the LA Galaxy next week to play for them. :mindblown:


Get this tape to Manny Diaz...STAT!!!

I expected to see him running drills with flip flops on :mjpls:

But seriously thats a dope story. Football is an easy game. I've seen too many people get D-1 scholarships and even make the NFL after only a season or 2 in high school...

It’s not easy, just more opportunities

Well neither is PR but look at the MLB. If there’s poor people with skills to exploit, they’ll be there in no time with ships.... I mean planes to bring them here
pr & beisbol is a cultural matter not a matter of dna

the hoops culture in america is light-years beyond the rest of the world

the nba africa expansion is cool though for creating something for the family out there to get into

Naw its easy as in easy to pick up and become very good in a short amount of time
Charles Hill (American football) - Wikipedia
Derrick Harvey - Wikipedia
Jared Gaither - Wikipedia

All 3 of these dudes went to the same high school and all 3 made the NFL after switching from basketball for 1 or 2 years of high school football. Obviously they are all linemen and it would be harder to pick up a "skill" position but thats still football and they still had to be better than people who had been playing the game since childhood...

They aren't even super athletic. Gaither was like 6'7" getting hung on the rim during basketball games...
you got cats in the league who never played football before converting to grab nfl spots after failing at hoops & other sports*
