First of all, there's no denying that streetball has become commercial and it isn't what it used to be. Tyrone Evans aka "Alimoe" aka "The Black Widow" speaks his mind about what the game has become. Mo is no longer with AND1, and by the video you can tell he's not happy that the game he loved has been ruined.
On the other hand, Randy Gill aka "White Chocolate" might be starting some beef. Apparently his confidence is telling him that he'll destroy your boy King Handles. Hopefully we'll hear about what the King has to say about that at a later date. Anyway, check out the videos and tell us what you think about Alimoe's and Chocolate's viewpoints... enjoy the videos.

Visitor, Unregistered no, it's not just AND1, its Ball4Real, sometimes EBC, stupid internet crews, all the nike tours and stuff - streetball commercialism is everywhere, not just AND1 as an apparel company 4. Untitled
Visitor, Unregistered 'Commercialism and other bullshit'. Er, that would be AND1 the sports apparel company. No irony there then. 3. Hmmm
Millsy, Unregistered Alimoe needs to accept that he lives in a capitalist society. The explosion in streetball's popularity is just capitalism writ large. Supply and demand is what drives the movement. It may not be tasteful to his pallette, but it is the reality. Just look at how big corporations jumped on skateboarding in the 1960s/70s> Fact is, if people want it, there's a market, if there's a market, business will be made. I like Ali. I like the way he realises things like the fact he blew his shot at the NBA because he was too tied up with what his contemporaries were saying around his hood about how nice he was on court. But he can also come across as a bit bitter. That said, he makes a great point about everyone making some bullshit names up when they come to open runs. Who exactly calls you 'The Machine' then player? Your Mum, that's who. 2. Untitled
Visitor, Unregistered yea but the company was different back then - it wasn't flooded with commercialism and other bullsh!t 1. hateration!!
Ray Ray, Unregistered It sounds to me like Alimoe, one of my favorite streetballers, is hating on the company that a few years ago he was DYING to be a part of. Say what you want about And1, they give people a chance to get on- they gave him one, didn't they? J! Reactions • General Site LicenseCopyright © 2006 S. A. DeCaro |
