Pee Wee Kirkland on Being Basketball Star While Running Drug Empire

[@Colossuss35]

Respect to Vlad for letting the man talk without interrupting 👊

[@Yohannan314]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@MrZaShun]

Rare af

[@motorhead5320]

Excellent interview !

[@GeneSquires]

+Colossuss35 Im shocked!!

[@deezportz]

yepper..

[@briano9397]

he lowkey dropped the biggest gem "sometimes it takes someone who can raise your level of consciousness in every aspect of life" A coach who just teaches a kid to dribble pass and shoot will never build a man willing to elevate himself. A father teaching a son ect.

[@BlackGypsyMusic]

Dead ass dropped a gem. That made the interview for me.

[@tonyharod9102]

Super right

[@bashawnjohnson]

I agree with with that !

[@regalsylvester]

Just heard it. I’m like damn. That’s some real shit

[@TheMmiguelito]

You heard that too huh👊🏾👊🏾

[@datboiwes333]

Finally somebody that can out talk Vlad

[@GJTrae]

datboiwes333 naw Vlad just respek him so he let him actually get through wit what he was sayin

[@wanbrown]

And someone who knows what they are talking about

[@Malcolmweeks1]

I can definitely see Denzel Washington playing Pee Wee in a biopic. Very similar features

[@jg393]

He already played frank lucas on American gangster.

[@leonace3166]

I was thinking the same thing

[@liphas2011]

wow first thing i saw

[@patburns3402]

He got game

[@patrickreilly2338]

But u won't cause he won't tell u bout the people he killed to get there wtfu

[@virgovillage3926]

I met him back in 2004 when I attended Brownsville Academy High School in Brooklyn. We used to have "town hall meetings" at the school and the principal invited him to come to the school to speak to us students for Thanksgiving. I remember he signed my honor roll certificate but it got lost over the years moving place to place.

This is the best interview I have ever seen. Didn't even know who pee wee kirkland was until this video.

[@hlminds609]

There are great interviews if nba legends talking about his game and good he was on the court.

[@kinggreen2982]

La Original well now u know.......imagine if he told his story in depth this wasn’t a fraction

[@williamguyjr3677]

You cute

[@cavaliib1889]

La Original @rolldens

[@vanprince2287]

and not many in the game don't either; because Pee Wee is akin to many players in the game that were good but not great!

[@BossLifeWavy]

Pee Wee is a Real OG, you can soak up so much knowledge by listening to him. I appreciate this interview Vlad!

[@ss-iz9px]

[@HungryManEntertainment]

You can tell dude seen a lot, real street legend, no flash, no high sidin, just game..

[@jeffreywoodard5192]

This is by far the best video that I've seen from vladtv. If you are a basketball player, this is a person that you should know about. One of the best basketball players to ever do it!!! I'm 47, so he balled before I was old enough to see him live, but I'm from Va, and tHe CIAA is a way of life for us, and my family talked about him back in the days. Plus my NY family used to take me to the Polo grounds/Rucker, and the stories I heard about him there were unreal. Forget the drugs, the basketball part of the story was everything to me! Thanks again

[@anthonycuffee6200]

Every time I go to riverbank park he is there teaching kids how to play ball 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I got to practice with him a couple times which was cool

[@patwhite8721]

I still love this guy!!!!!

[@bornbunting1583]

I definitely understand where the brother is coming from. In my early 20's I received a 4 year sentence. Being that I had my high school diploma, I had to work. Now when I say work, I mean work. And at that time in my life, I prided myself on being a hustler. But when you are getting up at 4:30 in the morning to 9:30 at night. And I did this 7 days a week for $62 a month. I came home in February of 2000 and said never again. For you young brothers and sisters watching this, pay attention to the OG

[@eddienash24]

I salute you I did 10 from 05-15 and I said the same and I look at these to cool to work guys out here same ones in prison gon get up faithfully and go work for those pennies but won’t do it with freedom to be responsible

[@TheBaBaTV]

Dam, Did you do 4 years straight? That’s making less then $3000 for the 4 years !

[@vladtv]

What do you think of the 2 camera system we started using?

[@redrobin4406]

+djvlad Its seamless i barely notice until you said something

[@DJJustJayOK]

Love the creativity @vladtv thank you for trying something new to switch it up

[@HeartCocoCloud]

you know what we think?? thank God you didn't spilt this in 7 different interviews classic joint

[@Gawdsqwad]

I think two angles is cool or you can take the other camera and get your money back and just use the one cause Vlad you already got the game locked down on KZbin interviews we know it, everyone knows it, all the other KZbin people know do my interview.

[@michaelalex12]

+djvlad the cuts are a little abrupt, wait for a pause to transition. Great content though!

[@kingd_sm9760]

Best interview I can listen to this all day

[@BigDilf3]

"only way you get a scholarship you stay 3 years, I left that night" lmao

[@brianchristiansen6022]

Pee Wee Kirkland is so genuine and down to earth! In my opinion he is very cool person

[@vanprince2287]

but you did say in your opinion! But an opinion is a personal belief and a Fact is something that happened or exist!

[@robertbeale9319]

Remember fall of 1968, my freshman year @ NSC, now NSU watching him play one on one against another dude, schooling him and talking "smack" to him! Unusually gifted athlete!

[@bxboro4662]

I see him on Gun Hill rd in the Baychester section of the Bronx all the time. Salute the legend!

[@missayawk]

Just saw him on Gun Hill Rd near Burke Ave yesterday.About the 3rd time Ive seen him in the area.I always say whats up and he always acknowledges.Super cool dude.

[@BrokenDollyTV]

This NEEDS to be a movie

[@Mediazzzzzz]

Denzel Washington Needs to play as him if they do he would be perfect he kind of looks like him too

[@imorprod6556]

+Broken BarbieTV thats my lil bro mentor he coaches my brother and he plays with pee wee son they doing a movie in LA so yeah its going to happen pretty soon

[@davidel7950]

much respect to Pee Wee for this great interview for repping VA and the works he do with the children!!!

[@arabionknight3524]

I saw him play through very young eyes. he was the best point guard I have every seen. unstoppable.

[@MrKobe33824]

Where u seen him play? Rucker?

[@xGriz58x]

he was real vague in his explanation of his criminal life, which makes me respect him more because no one was thrown under the bus

[@XxBringBackThePastxX]

Watch his interview with tax season, he speaks on talking too much n snitching and that he was cut from different cloth.

[@oliverleslie7382]

He told you what he did - without telling you what he did. That's smooth OG for you...

[@JSmith-kh4vo]

I respect this dude for accepting responsibility for his actions and learning from his mistakes instead of throwing them on a god and saying it all happened that way because of 'gods plan' and all the other nonsense people say. It's a sad story, but much respect to this man.

[@Mediazzzzzz]

Good! Vlad's interviewing skills are ass

[@GrizzlyMane0]

I have to get his book and Rick Ross (Freeway Ricky) book as well. I'm so thankful that both of them came out to talk about there life stories.

Love the historical detail man. Makes you feel like you right there with him.

[@Cultured_Barbarian]

Another wise man from the hood sharing real knowledge and wisdom for anyone who can understand it. If you're trying to be funny with comments and shit, the jokes on you... You will learn these lessons one day. If you're half as smart as you try to appear with those dumb fukn comments, that day would be today. Unsure what I mean? Ask the smartest person you know to watch this and explain it to you. Great interview Vlad. Not that your questions are bad, but hearing the interviewee is definitely better. Thanks for not making that 22 different 3 minute clips.

[@vabeachtiff]

+ReallyStrongGuy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Cultured_Barbarian]

Haha. Thank you. As a man from the hood, I had to learn a lot of these lessons the hard way, then get "normal" and then prosper. Wish I learned this in my teens, instead of my 30's. As people who know better, I feel we should say it to those who don't currently understand. If one person gets a clearer perspective, it makes the world a better place for all of us.

[@hlminds609]

You said everything i was thinking. These people don't realize who this man is. A living legend who wasn't a household name. But the hood holds him up. As a student of the game i love hearing anything about the Rucker and street-ball.

[@finished6267]

@@Cultured_Barbarian but had you learned it in your teens you'd have disregarded it, such is the avarice of youth. Wisdom comes with age. You can't tell a young man shit. You gotta show them.
