how many of those people on twitter from the trenches?

 

[No1]

and it does then so what?

people look at it from one side, yea they're extremely blessed and fortunate to have resources available to them that other kids don't have but the fact these kids still grind even though they already got everything they want and could live off their fathers name is just as impressive as the rags to riches story if not more impressive. being complacent and lazy is fukking easy and they would have every right to do so.

This is the worst post you have ever made. My nikka you literally said it is more impressive for someone who has every resource to not fukk yo the bag than it is for someone with no resources to go get the bag. And that in a nutshell is why there is no class consciousness is the United States and why we have all this economic inequality. People of means think it was all their own merit or it was deserved and people without means are taught to admire them even when their story has little connection. Kobe is my favorite basketball player ever and there isn’t a single thing about his story more impressive than the LeBron James story.

But the bigger point that you’re missing is that nothing in America is a meritocracy but we always felt that sports was. It was the one place where you could get to the top off just talent and hard work. The recent trends have turned basketball into the same thing as every other facet of American society from law to finance to engineering and business.

That’s why I said it went over his head

That’s actually the better way to say it and how the dude that made the tweet should’ve put it .. but I figured ppl would equate a player going to a public school = trenches (more than likely) vs players going to private schools = suburban (more than likely) .. but you right

to be honest they could all come from beverly hills for all I care. as long as the product is good then it's none of my business. obviously they have an advantage as they only have to worry about sports and schools while the less fortunate gotta deal with real life circumstances but the hood kids have advantages too that other generations did not have. if they're nice, they're pretty much getting the red carpet treatment at a young age especially with social media. there's no more hood tales of that hooper that was so great but had no outlet to be seen

More like the fake thug era of the NBA is over.

NBA players were never real street dudes. Go ask Paul Pierce what happens when an NBA player runs into some real street dudes.

it's funny because the era of everybody being friends is often tied to Lebron joining the Heat which was unprecedented and Lebron comes from the hood so what's the correlation?

Steph Curry and Kobe are some of the most disrespectful players ever and wanted to cut your throat and they come from the burbs. I don't think your point is pointing.

the everybody being friends has more to do with social media and AAU no longer being a local thing. u got ny kids playing on cali aau team

Chris Webber came from a very working class family.

But the better point is Chris Webber was able to be plucked out of his working class home and attend one of the best high school’s in the United States.

Thats what we are seeing more now, except at younger ages.

That's not the trenches, most people in the country are working class ain't nothing wrong with that

nikkaz acting NBA players are street nikkaz ,and that was never the case

The suburb nikkaz families are working class too, they just moved to the suburbs to get away from ignorant nikkaz

What I’m saying is if y’all was crying about the lebron watch how much y’all cry with this next generation .. and whose the type of players on these aau teams?

hood kids still play on AAU teams. just because they not in the hood doesn't mean they're not hood. it's moreso a mindset, their location just changed because they're getting more opportunities.

but like I said, the hood hero y'all keep praising in Lebron is directly tied to the buddy buddy system not the suburban kids

A lotta greats came from blue collar households.

There's no "formula".

And even the good hood dudes get spotted and noticed young and placed in these prep schools/academies/private schools. How many of the top players even play in Public School.

Look at this shyt.

Whatever happened to recruiting athletes from the hood?

Everyone can't afford AAU, private school or some high priced basketball camp. Before you had recruiters going to hoods nobody wanted to go to. Even now that's not an excuse because you can do zoom calls. Dajuan Wagner jr might be one exception. I just don't get why more recruiters don't come to...
