From Lottery Prospect To 3 Years In prison! What Happened to RYSHEED JORDAN

[@stuntedgrowth]

Can Rysheed still get to the league?

[@stuntedgrowth]

@Samuel Wells That's a fact!

[@xcassper1694]

He has a chance to play overseas the NBA has to many politics involved even though he served his time the NBA is all about their image.

[@vaughnmitchell3030]

Pressure, please his mother had pressure trying to keep him alive. He get homesick fine, but to lose focus on the big picture which is getting his mom out of the hood. Running with wrong crowd, he let his mom down and his community. No , strong male figure around him to guide him.

If you're talking about him throwing Brandon Austin the ball, that was their first game against each other in their senior season and there were constantly arguments about who was the best in the city at the time. Sheed played very good this game and his team secured the win at that point as you see the score was 70 - 49 as he tossed the ball to BA and BA scored that bucket off a Sheed assist.
