Dudes are friends with kids who actually are, or grow up in areas where they see these things, and affiliate by default. It's the old "my boy does ______, he like that" or "man it's rough where I grew up" shyt that these guys latch onto...

Knowing someone or being from a rough area does not equal being a street figure...

Harvin Marrison is definitely in that 1.5%. nikkas in his own hood don't even know what he look like.

I'm not saying street nikkaz aren't smart or their aren't smart street nikkaz

I'm saying if you in the streets you don't have any other options, or you thrive in that lifestyle

you're not going to be in college and street nikkaz don't have opportunities like that, and usually tell the athletes to stay out the streets and give them a pass

I don't entirely disagree with him, but he might be underestimating how many dudes are being exactly who they are. How many times have we said that professional sports saved this person or that person? A whole lot of them aren't trying to be hood, because they actually are hood which is why so many of them fumble the bag and get caught in situations.

People can grow...
