Philly bouls, Trust the Process
A good amount actually, but I’ll start with :ai:

breh had such a bad reputation but he’s such a genuinely good person at his core

I used to go to school with lil Deuce his son, this is like first grade, AI would come and pick him up and just hang with us sometimes. He’d read to us, crack jokes, shyt he’d take a nap in the back of the room sometimes and just get cozy :heh:

he used to call me young Adonis :mjlol: would always be hypin you up :russ:

Philly legend :salute:

My little bro had the same classes with Kyrie Irving before he went to private school. Ppl tell me I was his summer camp counselor but I dont remember it.

I went to school with this big South American soccer player that was Gatorade player of the year in 07. It was fukked up because they trick us athletes into attending a special school meeting in the auditorium....then the cameras came out while we watched them non english speaking mf get announced player of the year.

I grew up with Juan Dixon who was one of the best players in college at Maryland. Played a bunch of years for the Wizards. Ran in the same circles as Melo but only met him a couple times in hs becuz I was friends with some hardcore hoopers. We were older than him by a few years and they treated like a little kid. Dude was ridiculously nice at 14-15. Also played a bunch of hs football games against Bryant Johnson who was one of the best receivers in the country at Penn State. Spent a bunch of years on the Arizona Cardinals. We always chopped it up back in the day. One of my cousins used to date Tommy Polley who was a star linebacker at Florida St. Spent some years with the Ravens and Rams in the NFL. I never met him but I know Shaq Barrett’s brother

Went to hs with Caleb Johnson a current linebacker on the bears, he was always seemingly an upstanding guy, we chatted a few times but we didn't run in the same circles, and I'm not a dikkrider.
