Dogg because I'm a dog lover and on my spare time I help my cousin breed Pit Bulls.

24 for the General on our Lakers squad.


pit bull fluffer?



Not with the Pitbulls. LMAO.
For pits you just let the two roam around together and they eventually mate. ( Of Course you gotta find a pair that isn't trying to kill each other)

Now when we were breeding English bulldogs they are just too fat to screw.
My cousin did all the dirty work I just funded the entire operation and sat back and collected like Dr. Jerry Buss. LoL

My name was inspired by the academy award nominated basketball documentary of the same name "Hoop Dreams" Hoop Dreams is a 1994 documentary film directed by Steve James, with Kartemquin Films. It follows the story of two African-American high school students in Chicago and their dream of becoming professional basketball players.

I was born and raised in the suburban sprawl of the seep south. Eventually transplanted and grew up in the inner city of Los Angeles. No matter where I lived there was one common thread form me between the regions. There was always a kid with NBA dreams and playground court that the kid use in an attempt to better his life. I wanted a screen name to reflect the dreams that all NBA players once had as a child. The same one we all shared. I wanted something to reflect those NBA dreamers that never made it to the big time, and the playground bball heroes that we will never be able to see and witness for ourselves.

Mine is a reminder to myself to stay as open-minded as possible and realize that in the grand scheme of things, I know and understand very little about the true nature of things. It's also a constant reminder that I need to be more aware of who I really am through introspection and reflection. In that sense, I'm only somewhat aware of the nature of my subconscious mind and in order to become truly aware I have to be persistent.

This is essentially what Buddhists (which I'm not) strive for -- enlightenment.

That was a holdover from the ESPN message boards where my only purpose was to get into flame wars. ;)
