I think bird is down based off the Pacers previous roster. Jax/tinsley/artest/shawne williams/david harrison

Zach randolph sold guns while he was still in high school, we're talking volume. Pretty sure he is down too.

Why do i doubt them?


I know right. Rubio couldn't get out of his Euro contract. So his gang must suck.

But who is scared of a gang when Dirk Dracula is part of a far older group. Moo ha va ha ha ha

Also Caron Butler used to sell crack, not sure if he had gang affiliations but it could be possible


Caron was a gang banger. He talked about it on late night TV a few times. I find his story inspirational. He wnet half way down the wrong path.

Yeah on Paul Pierce. People don't get repeatedly stabbed in front of a nightclub for no reason. Gotta respect him for coming back from that strong as ever.

Also, 4 pages and not one Allen Iverson reference or joke? I am dissapoint.

Nope.

An allegation of rape got him kicked out.

If you watch games closely all of these players do a subtle hand gesture after making a shot or assist and they do it while looking at either the corner seats in the lower bowl or the corner seats in the nosebleeds.

It's a sign of respect towards their gang. There's a compilation video of it on YouTube, but you usually have to be quick or lucky to find them because they get taken down kinda quickly when they get discovered. The hand gesture is basically a closed fist, but tilted between 10-25 degrees. Each player has their own variation of it depending on their ranks, so it gets really tough to memorize each one. There's a big variety and it's complicated.


I'm pretty sure Kris Humphries belongs on that list as well.

Lol at all the people who think lebron was a gangster. Lebron is a joke. He's a ball player he ain't bout that life. But Stephen Jackson was and is still a big gang banger. So is jr smith Sebastian telfair there's a few more guys just can't think of them. Oh and lol at the people who think pierce is a gangster lol check what happened to the so called gangster in his rookie season. Garnett is also one of the fakest guys who tries to act like they have street cred
