      @@linh811 Well I don't totally agree with that. I can name at least 5-10 guys from the streets that could've made it if they had their heads on right. I have a cousin that was a beast but a knucklehead. 6'5 215 baller, ball handler, shooter, could play in the post but wanted to sell dope. He spent 20 years of his life in and out of prison from 1993-2013. I'm pretty you know at least one person that threw their life away when they had all of the ability to play a sport at the highest level. Growing up in the hood I saw this all the time. I have another cousin that was stupid smart but chose to sell drugs over going to college or military. He took the ASVAB Test for the Air Force, missed one question on the entire test but chose the streets over his education.

    • @wobblemcdonald1411
      @wobblemcdonald1411 Рік тому +4

      Yet Kenny has to work 5 years to earn what Barkley earns in 1 year if Kenny earns 4 million a year as claimed. Barkley earns around 20 million a year from TNT. Don't get me wrong it's excellent money regardless, a solid 1 million salary is excellent money but it isn't a fair deal paying Barkley 5x more than Kenny.
