Tony Allen tells all about the night he was almost murdered 🤯

[@sibonisongema5383]

Zach and TA, respect for where you're both at in yalls life right now. We appreciate you and will continue praying for you because the impact of your changed lives will reach many brothers. God bless you and keep you.

[@JrRimp]

I’m from the westside of Chicago and went to Austin High School which was a rival of Crane, where TA attended. Those are some great games, ACA vs Crane and ACA vs Westinghouse. I remember him and Bynum were dogs. I was happy to see them make it to the NBA. But I never knew TA was originally from the southside. He has a very powerful story. I’m glad he chose a different path. I always respected his game as a defensive player. I respect him even more knowing his full story.

[@KingSpaceySprockets]

Yeah he went to Julian first

[@In4mous1]

Far as I can remember the rivals was Marshall Vs Crane out west during this era Westinghouse really didn’t have a team doing nothing and Austin always been trash 🗑️

[@tommybrown187]

That was God putting those ppl in your life at that moment & changed your life

[@conscious258]

It was for this reason

[@bl59dy59]

Will Bynum a real one whole time tho

[@porkchopexpress2437]

Yes sir.. Will the Thrill! Cranes finest. Never seen a dude jump that high before in person.. And I've seen Fields back in the day too. Will was the most explosive point guard ever to come out of Chicago.. I remember when Will and Sean Dockery would battle.... Love that Jason Straight shout out... J could ball.. Think he went to Wyoming to play ball.

[@moneymfmont9794]

I remember being in the hood Westside Chicago going to a game to see lil will “the trill” hoop cause everybody knew he had game. My homie pointed at T.A. While they was in warm ups like watch him I guarantee you he going to the league in a few yrs because he seen T.A. Hoop. Him and will was dominating mfs that day and the rest history Jo 💯

I remember the story he ran into big time gangster from Chicago they where trying rob him

[@Reezy7]

I remember the guys he was talking about on the TV show 'Preps: Chicago Hoops 2001'. Jason Straight, Will Bynum, Eddy Curry, Luther Head, and Sean Dockery

[@MrFlamesP]

That Chicago hoop show had all the guys in there round 2000.

[@kairesaykiyear]

It’s a weird vibe in professional sports now. Used to see dudes from the hood work they ass off to get out and now a days, you got jits in a two parent home in the suburbs tryna be street. If you didn’t grow up a certain way without a choice, don’t glorify that shit. Great job by these two spotlighting the hood for the masses

[@thebobbydrake6]

It's great that things are back to kids coming from 2 parent homes/situations.

[@kairesaykiyear]

@ your not getting what I’m saying. There’s no reason for these kids who actually have a good head on their shoulders and have the right support system want to be gangsters. Your parents have you so far removed from all that so why try to portray an image your not?

[@shawnsmith8335]

lol gangstas come from all backgrounds that’s a stigma ppl tried to create that you had to be from a single parent home to be street . Some ppl be from the suburbs but got hood family go visit them and get into what they into happens all the time . Been happening back in the day till present too .

[@jamaalrahji872]

Jason Straight a real one too. I got a lot of love for dude.

[@kvnghotbox763]

U must been a genius kid?

[@JrRimp]

I mean you’d have to understand the gang culture to really get why they’re respected. I don’t agree with the drug game but I understand why people went into it. Especially back in the 80s and 90s. Guys weren’t doing it moreso for clout like most do it nowadays. It was about survival and having a better life. I’m from the hood and grew up poor. My family wasn’t in the streets but even I considered it. Living with no heat in the winter, having to boil water in an electric stove to put in a hostel wash tub to wash up, eating government food that just never tasted right, not having decent clothes and shoes, not being able to go anywhere because your family doesn’t have money, etc. can all push you to do things to get money.

[@GDC-v8p]

@@JrRimp I understand it but I don’t like it! My Mom was a crack addict, my dad, uncles, one of my uncle’s died from a crack overdose! I sold drugs, my brother, my cousins, my homeboys! I was a product of that environment and it was wack! I turned out decent but that lifestyle hindered my full potential. I have drug felonies on my record! They put us in a box to destroy us! So I don’t understand why it’s glorified in any fashion or form.

[@KingSpaceySprockets]

@@GDC-v8pI get it. I seen some of my closest friends and relatives literally steal from their own kids to feed that habit. I had a heart so I understand as I what you saying. Unfortunately I’m guilty as well as I served some of the people I loved and recently lost my god mother to it. I get it bro…
