why is this stuff even on here? it’s a waste of space. who cares how well prisoners can play ball, especially if they’re murderers? like that’s supposed to be some great accomplishment that he’s good against other prisoners? who cares? straighten your life out if you ever get out of prison. be a good citizen, a good family member. that’s what matters. who gives a d#mn about basketball in prison?

my dad was in prison, and he’d write to us about how well his softball team was doing. softball?! how about being remorseful for the crimes you’ve committed. prison is not (or shouldn’t be) a fun place.

this is worthless.

Wow, this article really got people cooking. The discussion was much deeper than most jock talk and that means it was a great article. Not one person, including myself, knows the true story, but two comments made me really chuckle, one was some guy offering the idea of helping this guy get out because he was a baller and the other was supposing the guy was sodomizing inmates because he was tall. It’s a crazy world we live in.

I dont think there are to many people out there that really think this guy can play ball. Just cause you can jump dont mean you can play organized defense or can shoot a jump shot. What happens when you get a bigger, stronger, faster defender on you? You cant bully through him to dunk the ball. You have to be able to create your own shot or get teammates involved, which I don’t see this guy doing. Everyone has a choice in life, maybe he should have stuck to playing ball instead of selling crack and killing people. I lived on both sides of the fence, I’m no NBA player by far but sports kept a lot of us out of real trouble.

You guy’s need to get your priorities straight, just because he can ball, doesn’t give him the right to commit crimes and get away with it. He obviously isn’t responsible enough to be in the nba, he will get a lot of money, and do more dumb shit. You do the crime, you pay with time!

DoctaS.W.Grnthumbs, thank-you for supporting my point of view. Your absolutely correct that I wouldn’t even look at this guy from across the street let alone say anything to him because his response would be excessively violent. Normal people do not commit battery or aggravated assualt or in his case criminal homicide because somebody said something you didn’t like. A lot of you are missing the point, he killed another person at age 14! If it was a justifiable homicide he wouldn’t be in prison! So what does he do when he gets out? Commits more crime. For all of you supporters do us all a favor the next time he gets out, take him home with you to your family and teenage daughters!

Murder, selling crack, frearms charge, does it really matter? He is were he belongs, behind bars. So he murdered at age 14 and was sent to kiddy prison, so he is no longer a murderer? WRONG! Prisons are built and overcrowded with people just like him for a reason, public safety.

Fbig you have no idea what you are talking about. Comparing a criminal homicide to a homicde by a soldier or police officer? This psychopath put his own need for immediate gratification above the life of an innocent citizen. There is no comparison. A man that has demonstrated that he lacks self-control in prison from age 14-21 and then another 42 months, being 6′-5″ and 225# its a fairly safe assumption that he is sodomizing smaller prisoners. I’m the naive one? Your welcome to my psychological profile, I have degrees in criminal justice and psychology so its not like I’m just making this stuff up like you seem to be doing. So you are going to explain the criminal justice system to me? Unlike your incarcerated idol, I still have my civil rights and I am free to post whatever and wherever I choose. My “talk-back radio sociopathy”? Your lack of education comes shining through with that quote and call me a clown? I would post the appropriate adjective here but that is probably how B3 ended up in prison, somebody called him a clown and the psychopath killed him. I can imagine the complex circumstance were this law-abiding, upstanding 6′-5″ 225# young athlete had no other choice but to take someone’s life. Give me a break! Who cares what these losers do in prison unless they are making restitution to his victims family. Why don’t you shed some tears for his victims family instead of acting like his story is actually worth wasting space here? Yeah, I’m the clown! LMFAO!

With all of the crimes he had committed, his ass should be in jail for at least 3-4 life sentences. We are talking about murder (not practice). His ass should be locked up in his cell 24/7 with only time to eat, shower, church, and library time for reading; then back to the cell. Why are they allowing these guys to ball 3-4 hours a day? Its supposed to be prison not basketball paradise or training camp…..

As for his basketball skills….dunking ability isn’t going to get him anywhere but that dumb ass league called ‘and 1′. Can he make jumpshots? Can he make threes? Can he get out of triple teams? Does he have handle?

Finally, the only real competition he’s faced so far are AT BEST high school level players or Division 3 players. Do you guys know about the nba player’s stats when they were in high school? 30ppg, 18rbs, 11 ast, 11blks, 8 sts…..even scrubs like Sebastian Telfair can score 50-60 point games easily.

Everyone saying he should say in because he is a murderer and that people need to read the article are not reading it themselves. He already served his time for the murder he committed when he was 14. He’s in jail now for a firearm charge.

I’m sorry, he is in now for posession of a firearm, not selling crack. That was a few years ago for all of you who still didn’t read the article.
