:wow: at this thread. the coli is makin more and more proud by the day. i tried to speak on this same shyt on the other site and got met with a buncha hostility. its good to know people seein this same shyt too though, i guess i shoulda been postin in tlr rather than ktl. but i think i major part of this is RECOGNIZING the fact that corporations, whether its the nba or nike/adidas, etc WANT young nikkas buyin into this shyt... cuz the more there is, the greater the likelihood that one makes it and becomes a sponsor, better yet a puppet encouragin more black youth to pursue same shyt. and the cycle just goes on and on. star players are the real prize. everyone else is just profit/expendables.

The thing is that most hoopers growing up see all the hoes and glory and get caught up. Its hard to pass up when you have decent talent and no interest in books.

I dont understand why everyone wants to be a celebrity. You need to be tryna be that celebrity publicist lawyer or manager. Thats whos taking all their money.

it's not hard to understand, it's all that kids see on television. it's who everybody talks about at school. agents/lawyers/managers aren't being talked about. shyt, i was in 8th grade thinking i'd be famous before 9th grade. i was delusional as fukk. i mean, i could and can spit eliteness :smugfavre: but nobody's trying to hear a 13 year old white kid. no record deal, no football scholarship (never even had a scout checking me out :snoop:), now i'm just getting my degree, content with living a simple life, trying to do good.

:manny: i consider myself lucky that my dreams were crushed at a young age.
