Damn man, shit hit close to home yesterday. If you watched the NBA Draft, you probably saw Reece Gains get selected in the first round by the Orlando Magic...

what you might not know is that I went to high school with him and I lived right next door to him. We went to "Madison West High School" here in Madison Wisconsin.... I lived by him for about two years... then he got a scholarship to Louisville...and had a great career there... now he's a fucking pro baller...

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from no money to about to get PAID ... this shit is real... this is how dreams come true... my boy is going to be playing with Tracy Mcgrady....HOT DOG!!!!!!!!!!

DOPE

nice to hear that, its amazing how some of these guys grow up dirt poor and then overnight become pretty wealth, like carmelo anthony, now thats a success story too, he grew up poor with a single mom and just 3 months ago they were worried about paying bills and his mom had to work hard

now he made his mom retire for obvious reasons ;D

sounds nice, just wish i was a baller  ;D
