Former Kingpin & Streetball Legend Pee Wee Kirkland (Unreleased Full Interview)

Former kingpin and streetball legend Richard "Pee Wee" Kirkland sat down with VladTV in 2016, where he detailed lives in sports and the criminal underworld. He explained how he was a basketball prodigy, setting records as a child while getting caught up in a life of crime that would eventually lead him to time behind bars. Pee Wee claimed he was bigger than Frank Lucas and said he was making so much money in the streets that he declined an opportunity to play basketball for the Chicago Bulls. Later in the interview, he talked about his legacy being referenced in Hip-Hop culture and much more.

The time has probably come and gone but, Denzel should have portrayed this man in his biopic.

We can play a piece as the senior Kirkland and just get two guys to play him as a youth

[@JosephCoates-tt8yo]

This guy is extremely intelligent breaking this hoop ish down👍🏾

[@Chill-a-lot.]

He even looks like Denzel

[@darealphantom]

I instantly compare this to Taxstone’s interview with PeeWee the funniest thing he said was if someone shooting 50% I’m not passing him the ball 🤣🤣🤣

[@thesupafleemarket]

I seen Pee Wee double parked in my hood in the Bronx talking to one of his boys … I said “ yoo Pee Wee “ he said “ what up man “ my cousin was wit me and asked “ you know him? “ I’m like no … he was surprised by the way Pee Wee showed love back without knowing me

[@Greego]

I was saying, right before I scrolled down and read your comment, that you can tell Pee Wee has a lot of charisma.

Rafer Alston went to Fresno State from New York. Him and Alimoe (RIP) were recruited. Rafer left, Alimoe didnt want to because he knew Harlem and Harlem knew him. Very interesting how the streets can truly cripple your future.

Amen! 🙏🏼.....This man is speaking 💯......No 16 year kid EVER lived out the script and succeeded like LBJ? But some people are so jealous and hateful they'll never acknowledge such excellence! Kudos to Mr. Kirkland 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@jordancarlin9687]

I’m only 7 min in , but it has to be noted that Vlad attempted to go chronologically with the questions to Pee Wee , realized the answer were betters as he told them at whichever time , and Vlad switched after that to keep everything moving and captivating, which can’t be easy to do
