Damn idiot.

He's really about to throw away 200+ million dollars because he wants to be "gangster"

He had a basketball court built in his backyard when he was a kid, had a 2 parent household, roof over his head his entire childhood. Grew up in a town with less of a crime rate than most towns in Arkansas.

#Temetrius, YOU'RE NOT "HOOD"!!!!

Play ball, Stop acting like you're "gangster", retire at 35 and have more money than you're able to spend.

Seriously. You'd think having Lebron and Curry as your two best players and role models for the last decade or so would get these young guys some sense.

LeBron actually came from a super tough childhood. So what does he do? Every damned thing he can to make sure his family never experiences the worst of his childhood, while still getting the loving parental figure that he had in his mom. Dude never cared about acting hard. He just wants to make sure endorsement dollars keep flowing!

He is. He still is around his closet friends from his youth, but instead of letting them drag hime down, he pulls them up. He keeps the friends around him who are serious and will not jeopardize his family or livelihood. He turned his friend into one of the most powerful agents in sports. Dude has a plan!

He’s an idiot but he’s not about to throw away anything. NFL players get mega deals after beating wives, girlfriends, children, etc. Shit, Ray Lewis might have murdered someone.

Buck needs to stop here though before he does something that will actually fuck him—and worse, somebody else—over.

That’s not what he wants to do. So he can be who/what he wants. Why is it ok to tell him how to express himself. If he identifies a hood then hood for him. We don’t criticize other who identify in other ways do we?

Ha. No red hat. It’s not only one or the other. Red or blue. Just wonder why he can’t accept the lifestyle he wants without being hated on.

Exactly. So why so many people gotta be his nanny and tell him what he should do. He can be his own person. Without the world being his judge b

You do know there are these things called laws right. Like the one that says you cannot carry a firearm while under the influence. Or the one that says you cannot make threats on someone’s safety.

Ja can act hood all he wants (even though nobody is buying it). But when he breaks laws and continues to do so he will face the consequences. And he might also face the consequences by fucking with the wrong person. Someone who has actually done the shit Ja thinks he’s capable of.
