slam harder, what do you want to know? that he grew up on springdale ave. two houses down from me, that i once ran all the way from our elementary school to his house to tell him he won a ten speed bike in thr raffle at our fair, that i used to babysit him and our friend eric who lived next door to him, that we played football all the time in the park across the street, soverel field, or in one of the backyards on the block, that i call his parents by their first names even though i'm only four years older than him, that his brother brandin, who went to pittsburgh, started dribbling around two years old and was actually better than brevin was at every stage of his game, and also wanted to play quarterback instead of basketball, partially from watching me play all those years in the park, that brandin was too small to play with us and everyone would leave him standing in front of the house by himself since he couldn't cross the street on his own and i was the only one to go back and get him, i could tell you brevin's first girlfriends name, but won't do that. his dad melvin had actually made the celtics and then blew out his knee and missed his shot. oh and brev was being recruited by villanova, but they decided to go with another guard who was bigger, who turned out to be al williams from toronto i believe, and then they played against each other in a tournament and brev had 9 steals, and ripped williams six times. i got more but i guess that SHOULD at least prove i'm not lying. i also know a guy named marquis bragg who had a short stint with utah and lived down the street from me, and have met quite a few so called professionals or celebrities or whatever you want to call them. i wouldn't lie though, that stuff doesn't really impress me much. they're just people.
