Don’t have to be in a hood to be in the park though,
Yes it does. Then it would be understood why parents dont want their kids there.

Kids at my son’s park in the burbs…yeah. Different than the ones Gary played in oakland.

Stop trying to make Kobe or my son’s life out to be what Gary is talking about

And Kobe knows what about the park? He didnt grow up hood to know anything Gary was talking about

Wrong

I was talking about this yest, with a guy in my dept...Kobe used to play at 16th & Susquehanna (Meek Mill's Hood), 58th & Kingsessing (Southwest Philly, his Dad's old hood), and 59th & Columbia (West Philly)

Kobe had to prove himself in Philly at the playgrounds against the neighborhood stars

I saw Kob in the hood with his cousins...he's certified

Nyggas in here breaking out their best tailored cape for AAU while the best players in the NBA are foreigners.. lol

AAU is the YMCA with shoe company backing

It's not really impressive that 10 nikkas from across the earth can keep up with 400 Americans. Lol.

I don't have to prove myself to nobody

I knew of Kob before & saw him live before everybody on this forum

Imagine seeing a nikka on the court & you know he going to the league...same thing w/ D Wagner, Lowry, etc...

Kob played in the Sonny Hill league & I saw him play at Myers in 95

Why do folks gather multiple countries to tear downs American players?

An American AAU team will kill a Greek AAU team, if one exists.

I can’t even front tho, this season for some reason has been the most interesting for me in a loooong time, probably since when DRose got drafted.

an 8th seed making it to the finals is pretty damn wild and special for the NBA.

It feels like fans can skip the regular season altogether and start watching when the playoffs start.
