If anyone is desperate for attention, it's you. How you gonna hate on this guy? Ban/suspend me if you want....you're a punk.

Great story. Nice to see him get a second chance, especially after managing to stay straight for two years. And what an amazing voice.

He seems like a really good guy. Hes a really good speaker, not just his voice but the things he says. I'm super happy for him.

Who needs LeBron? We got Teddy Williams.

I saw this on USAToday this morning. Heartwarming story. Hopefully he doesn't mess this up by getting back into drugs...

Nice story, but the Bulls offered a homeless man their starting SG position

**Edit: I just checked and it's actually Keith Bogans, never mind

It will just be a matter of time before he takes his talents to South Beach.

I think I get the Hobo of the Year award for sweet talking the Cavs into giving me a house!

I love my new job

that voice is ridiculously amazing. and the best part is that he knows what its like to be on the last string of life, if you may call it. hes so down to earth, and he really knows how tough life can be at times. he speaks from his heart, and hes the real deal...i dont think that fake ass tv stuff will ever get to him..hes always gona remain a down to earth individual....FINALLY SOMEONE GETS SOMETHING WHO DESERVES IT

What about the guy who discovered him and made the whole video in the first place? :lol:

Has he gotten any offers or anything out of this!? He will probably be **** pissed if he doesn't.

This is a riviting tale. Glad to see how God influenced his attitude towards life.

Allow this to be a lesson. Young people listen up you dont have to go to school and stay in school and keep your nose to the grindstone but instead you can meander your years as a sterno bum and as long as you can get someone to make an ironic viral video about you...it's all good

Yes, and looking at his picture, his life has also been influenced greatly by the Tooth Fairy.

Hey, my imaginary person is just as good as yours.
