🤯😳 I’m having so much trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that he never said a word. It’s totally blowing my mind. I’ve never had this much respect for a man I’ve never met. Kwame a real one forreal
@JustSayin He never said a word because he has old school morals and values. He was/is blessed. He wasn’t worried about the media, other players, he was focused on helping his family and his people. He was/is a God. He’s revealing how little the masses really utilize LOGIC when analyzing situations.
@@LeadWithLogic Facts. I don’t know why people are so shocked by a man, who grew up before the social media era, keeping his business to himself lol. He only snapped back, because even well after retirement, they still wouldn’t keep his name out of their mouths.
Im suprised they havent spoke up about him until now. But maybe they have, ot maybe they didnt really have the platform to. Ya know damn well the media wouldnt have asked these guys to come on.
@@drmahidhar1876 yes he was! He seems like a Stand up guy!! This platform and perspective Is so necessary! (from the players, not just the popularity contest winners lol Matt and 'em)
Kwame was the second to the youngest of 8 boys. And persevered to to take care of his mom. He grew up playing basketball all summer with no shoes. The man is a beast. Thank you for having your old teammates back.
*Black men aren't building businesses. No gas stations, corporations, etc but stay on TH-cam, a platform created by 2 white men and 1 Asian man, claiming manhood. Create your own platform independent of other races*
Sounds to me Kwame is a real man who took a lot of shit, however, he listened to all the noise. Kept his composure and kept it moving. The four brotha's who spoke up in this video, God bless all of you. Kwame ain't no bitch and thank God for that!
Well you state he aint not bitch but you know when Kwame signed the 1 year deal with Charlotte...owner was Jordan. I'm guessing the early years with Jordan werent so bad after all as Kwame decided to work for the man 😂
@Mypussy Hurts Kwame was 19 when he got drafted and turned 20 in his first season. You lames are so gullible. He got 60 million plus and never got better. No one wanted him at 31 years old because as Jordan said, "He is lazy and full of excuses."
Coming from a athlete that has played sports our coaches on game day would want us to relax and save all of our energy for the game so sound like sabotage to me 🤔
Micheal Jordan had to be scared of Kwame and I feel he used his influence with Chicago's Management too make sure Kwame didn't shine. I also believe Jordan had been looking at Kwame for a long time even before he hit the draft, he knew that with the right team and couching Kwame would have ended MJ's NBA legacy.
...which is a damn shame. Kwame seems like he has his money, actions and mind wrapped around the Black youth. MJ seemed like he distanced himself w/the exception of marketing his shoes to the youth.
The irony is the black community built up MJ but whole time MJ behind the scenes breaking down a black boy with low self esteem🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️. I Am glade I never bought any MJ 👟
Garbage? Yeah ok,but 12 years in the league 70 million dollars of income over the years, where are your comprehensive skills,did y'all get what these brothas were saying,gtfoh,with that mess
He is so deserving of a major and GRAND apology. A man that loved his mom so much that he was willing to endure all to take care of her like he promised her he wld at 5. That is so beautful. If and when a movie is done they need to do it right.
People get called bust everyday B....ppl treat Iverson and others who did more worse....it was cool on the beginning but now dude just ranting. He's mad about them talking bad about blacks when that's all his idols Candace owens and Tommy Sotomayor do....I been watching his channel. Now he's being mad sensitive about everything and you all are keeping the bs going because when ppl apologize you call it fake and say they are scared of mommas cooking...gtfoh...he had apologies and didn't except.
@Wade you must have been there with him because judging off of what former players say they said he was a great kid. And if you was 7ft tall you would be doing the same shit you doing now. 😂😂😂
@@blackbird3809 Valid point, but I am sure at that time they had to be concern with there careers considering they were not mega Stars. They did mention they were also young athletes at the time.
"Outstanding?" I don't know; I just started listening. I'm gonna be open, but I forgot Collins was the coach. Still, it doesn't change how it was. Kwame didn't perform well during games. What they're saying is Kwame was too young. The ball in the stands story I don't know if I'd do it.
Easily one of the best sports episodes I’ve seen. And I’m a lifelong fan of the NFL and NBA. Been buying their product with my hard earned dollars for many years. These men all played multiple years in the league and know the grind it took to make it to the best of the best. None of them talking crazy. All relatable dudes. Somewhere along the line the mainsteam media and the culture in general has lost this down to earth, sensible type of content.
1 hour from guys that actually made it to the NBA. And are looking at things from an eye level perspective. Is worth more than stephen A's entire career.
Kwame said Jordan wanted to trade him Chicago for Elton Brand. The Wizard’s owner vetoed the trade. It’s obviously Jordan and Doug Collins were out to sabotage Kwame once they didn’t get their way with that trade.
Hearing this is unbelievable! When K.B. said this is bigger than me, he wasn’t kidding! This is sad!!! They are revealing more than K.B. is about how his team treated him!
What happens in the dark, comes out in the light....2020 and beyond...i am sure this is a prequel...can’t wait to see when -this- type of situation spills into the politicians...it HAS to be OTW...
We watch the Last Dance, we know MJ is ferocious. It's clear that they denied him his growing process. Thanks for sharing these stories. The media has been using Kwame as a scapegoat and they never stopped. I am actually proud of Kwame for speaking now. If not, they won't stop.
I never like MJ cause I thought he is a selfish, arrogant, Mj treated Kwame brown bad because he didn't want anybody to out shine him!! Kwame brown would have been a hall of Famer if he had went somewhere other than MJ!! Jordan kill kwame brown confident with his arrogant!! MJ is a jerk,but he knew who to treat like that because I would have kick MJ in the mouth!!
@@normajeaneason6983 Kwame should go off on MJ!! MJ didn't like Kobe Bryant at first cause he knew Kobe Bryant was going to be better than him and now MJ the jerk act like Kobe Bryant was his best friend
@@tedlondon4987 Kobe Bryant is the one that looked up to MJ. In fact he wanted him on the stage for his HOF induction. That wasn't something Vanessa Bryant thought up. MJ stats speak for themselves. I doubt he ever worried. And as far as Kwame Brown you are disrespecting him like the others. If he doesn't or hasn't gone off on MJ who are you to say he should
Respect to these fellas for getting together and telling the truth. I bet Kwame is watching this smiling. Finally people saying good things about him 😀
Regardless of what Stephen Asshole says he never made the NBA so STFU. Jalen Rose said there r 15 players per 30-32 Teams about 450 to 500 out of thousands. In my eyes a lot of it had to do with age and the team he was with. He was or is no bust he's a former NBA player he has game.
NOBODY WOULD LISTEN TO THIS IF MATT AND JACK AINT WAKE THIS BEAST. TIMING IS EVERYTHING! THE UNIVERSE IS WITH KWAME. HIS MAMA WATCHES OVER HIM.. #MommasCooking
I really want to thank these guys for telling the truth and not jumping on the band wagon and I don’t know any 17 year old kid who could put up with what kB put up with and still have a positive outlook on life
They are lieing and speaking shit. For example Kwame was drafted 2001 and born in 1982. That makes him 19 years old when he was drafted. He literally wasnt a 17 year old , these guys dont even know what age he was.😂😂😂
@Etan Thomas...Kwame Brown keeps asking Stephen A Smith...What was you doing at them Colleges and High Schools BOY?!?! Do you think the NCAA paid him(SAS) to bad mouth Kwame to slow down High Schoolers from going straight to the league? Great discussion by the way
Probably the most important video in sports of the past 20 years! These men deserve to tell this story on a larger platform. And much respect for being honest and telling the TRUTH regardless of how unpopular this story may be towards the narrative.
@@charliej8104 Of course they won't. And that fact just further highlights what Kwame has been saying. Blacks get on these platforms and protect "who they like" while demeaning those they don't. And that's a bad look. Especially for someone like Kwame who HAD the game, but wasn't given a fair chance to succeed according to those who were there.
@@KelzKelz This is the video we needed. Because up until now, all we had was Kwame and Stephen A's side of the story. They sounded nothing alone, so SOMEBODY was lying. Now, we know who.
All this going back and forth sounds like a Hip-Hop beef. I can tolerate it, as long is no one gets killed. Brown seems too be enjoying his new found fame. He is a bit of a showman and very intelligent. He'll get the most out of this, even though he may not have gotten, the most out of his basketball career, by whoever's standards, and for whatever reasons. What the public gets out of it is more important, IMO. The mixing of entertainment with social and political discourse for the advancement of Black people, has not proven productive. I hope this new phenomenon doesn't continue the mistakes of previous similar Black subcultural fads, and produce, or simply perpetuate, the level of violence and disrespect among Black people we see today.
Sounds like a whole setup. MJ was like I’m coming back and if this shit don’t work out I’m gonna have my peoples make sure Kwame takes the fall for it.
To me it's mostly Doug Collins. Because at least Jordan admitted years ago he was too hard on him. Doug Collins never had the balls to do that. Still not a fan of Jordan's character
Jordan is a dispicable human being I worked in Chicago gold coast for over ten years the stories I can tell you about that disgusting human being. I never seen what people saw in him only thing he's good at is basketball. I seen him dehuminize people in our restaurant man he walked around like he was a god.
Blessings chris, nesby ,etan and jahidi you brothers full of love and speak the truth michael jordon and dug ruin kwame career they should apologize to him to do that to a 17 yr old
And the point out how it seemed like they were out to sabotage Kwame Brown it wasn't so much Collins as I'm listening to the story with Michael Jordan .
Singing "Brothers gonna work it out!" Classic! Very nice how these brothers came together to support Kwame...so nice to hear them speak the truth and reflect on the abuse that he endured.
This brings so much clarity to the reasons Kwame didn't flourish the way he may have under different circumstances. He definitely was a solid player regardless. I'm very glad he's spoken up. He's truly done his momma proud. In fact He did so 20 years ago. Thanks for these insights.
I’m so glad I watched this podcast. Glad they all told the truth and defended Kwame. At the end of the day, this time in history proves the point “what it is done in darkness, will come to light”.
Michael Jordan was always a asshole from day one, look I don’t care how great you are at basketball, you still have to treat people with respect. MJ is not God were you to worship him, he’s just a man. Shout out to Kwame Brown for being strong.
I agree. I kept hearing Mj was asshole. But becuz Mj well was Mj he was the franchise the brand. The powers to be was working hard for the public not to know the horrible side of Mj. If this would have been put out when Mike was playing ppl may have looked at him differently.
So proud of you guys changing the narratives. I would rather watch you guys speak on sports than watching SAS on ESPN Black people need our own sports network to touch on our own people 🙌🏿💪🏾
Thank you Kwame Brown teammates for standing for truth✊🏾 "The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty, and to make the guilty innocent. Media has the power to influence minds, ideas, behaviors and attitudes of the masses" Malcolm X
This was an awesome segment. Lifelong Wizards fan since Ledell Eackles. Loved all you guys. Always played with Wiz in 2k so it’s like I for real know you now.
Y’all Get Big Ups for this! Kwame was one of the best hs players ever in basketball and it’s plain obvious that the time in Washington was a nightmare for em. Props to Kwame for being a True Warrior!
Salute to you brothers for telling the real story and not the Steven A version. I can't understand why they would treat the young brother like that? Now I can answer that question. It seems like a lot of hate. Kwame was the first if his kind and it seems like someone was focused on destroying the idea that a man can come straight from high school and be ready for the NBA.
That’s what’s up! Kwame is winning at life. He could’ve been this and that but at the end of the day he played in the nba for 13 years and is giving back to his community.
TRUTH, all you got to do is go back and look at some of his game footage even though he didn't live up to his potential on the basketball court he was still far from scrub. The dude had game
I'm truly starting to think that there really was some kind of conspiracy to deter high school players from going to the league. Kwame Brown was the example they had to make.
Who would benefit from that? NBA is gonna draft talent, they didn’t have to draft him. He just landed in a bad situation with bad people. Not a conspiracy
@@tradariusmaddox6827 yeah, I remember a few years after KB was drafted, they official released the rule to be in college for a year instead of right out of hs. colleges won’t lose millions & nba won’t either, and they used KB as their example... I’m sure MJ was all about MJ and making a comeback & the media/Doug was in his back pocket. everyone tried KB. It was messed up & im glad KB stayed strong. 🤜🏽🤛🏽
These guys are saying everything I had been saying for over 20 years about MJ. David Stern and the NBA owners protected MJ at all costs. This is only the beginning.
Thank you for telling the truth. Now we ALL know. Kwame did the best he could with the cards he was dealt, at 17. And didn’t trip off the money and his new life. That was his Momma’s Seasoning. This is beautiful to see black men standing up for another when he did nothing wrong. PLEASE keep this up.
I'm glad to see former teammates step up and speak the truth about Kwame Brown. I hope more players will step up and speak in his behalf. I would love for MJ and Doug Collins to speak about Kwame. Thank you guys for stepping up.
I stand with Kwame & I feel like his bullies are getting sprinkled with Momma's cooking deservedly so! Why keep kicking this grown ass man! He's tired of taking crap & lies! Leave him alone & you will remain safe!👀
I'm glad you GENTLEMAN are setting the record straight and confirming the TRUTH. Kwame is a stand up guy and people are angry that he is telling his truth. Much respect guys.

@Grey Ranger how far did you make it in the league? Asking for a friend.
The best thing about this discussion is no one over talked or talked over anyone else. Respect.
I had the same thought
As I'm reading Jahadi interupts Nes lol
@@mikemichaels2914 LOL. Word
Probably the most important video in sports of the past 20 years!
These men deserve to tell this story on a larger platform. And much respect for being honest and telling the TRUTH regardless of how unpopular this story may be towards the narrative.
I don’t think they’ll make a 30 for 30 bashing Jordan while Jordan’s alive
@@charliej8104
Of course they won't.
And that fact just further highlights what Kwame has been saying. Blacks get on these platforms and protect "who they like" while demeaning those they don't. And that's a bad look. Especially for someone like Kwame who HAD the game, but wasn't given a fair chance to succeed according to those who were there.
You right bro, I aint even look at it like that but this is definitely a jewel.

This is the video we needed. Because up until now, all we had was Kwame and Stephen A's side of the story. They sounded nothing alone, so SOMEBODY was lying. Now, we know who.
All this going back and forth sounds like a Hip-Hop beef. I can tolerate it, as long is no one gets killed. Brown seems too be enjoying his new found fame. He is a bit of a showman and very intelligent. He'll get the most out of this, even though he may not have gotten, the most out of his basketball career, by whoever's standards, and for whatever reasons. What the public gets out of it is more important, IMO. The mixing of entertainment with social and political discourse for the advancement of Black people, has not proven productive. I hope this new phenomenon doesn't continue the mistakes of previous similar Black subcultural fads, and produce, or simply perpetuate, the level of violence and disrespect among Black people we see today.
This video should be sent to all media outlets. 💪✊
I'm crying listening to this... Kwame went through hell
Yes he did. 🔥
This needs to be shared. Real talk, by those who know what really happened!

Wow, looks like the chickens are starting to come home to roost as Etan said....Great content...
Sounds like a whole setup. MJ was like I’m coming back and if this shit don’t work out I’m gonna have my peoples make sure Kwame takes the fall for it.
My disgust for Michael Jordan & Stephen A grows with every story I hear about them.
Thank you 👌👏👏👏
Jordan just a player. That other person. I've stopped watching him.
To me it's mostly Doug Collins. Because at least Jordan admitted years ago he was too hard on him. Doug Collins never had the balls to do that. Still not a fan of Jordan's character
Wait until the LeBron politics stories come out 10 yrs from now...
Jordan is a dispicable human being I worked in Chicago gold coast for over ten years the stories I can tell you about that disgusting human being. I never seen what people saw in him only thing he's good at is basketball. I seen him dehuminize people in our restaurant man he walked around like he was a god.
Westbrook not even long ago talked about how the media can destroy a kid or player. Now your seeing what he means
Kwame should make a move called " the last laugh" . Serious!
“How can you talk about a man that didn’t have any shoes on his feet” Kwame Brown
Nice to see some tell the truth
MLK once said it is cruel and evil to tell a shoeless man to just not complain and pick himself up by the boot straps
Share the video
Is that supposed to be funny?
Respect to these guys that actually played with Kwame for more context.
Blessings chris, nesby ,etan and jahidi you brothers full of love and speak the truth michael jordon and dug ruin kwame career they should apologize to him to do that to a 17 yr old
Mad respect to these guys for telling the truth and trashing the media's narrative of Kwame!
And the point out how it seemed like they were out to sabotage Kwame Brown it wasn't so much Collins as I'm listening to the story with Michael Jordan .
It’s great seeing his teammates back him like this.... Respect 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✊🏾
Doug Collins being an unstable head case I’m sure didn’t help the situation !
"Doug was there for mike." Doug was there because of mike...basically he was his lapdog.🐩
Facts. But cause he was tryin to impress mike i think he went way over board the most.
Yup thats true
The Go Along To Get Along Gang
It checks out. Have you heard Richard Hamilton's story of playing HORSE with MJ? Doug didn't let Rip go 'til MJ got his money back.
Doug Collins was the assistant coach to MJ.
This is abuse and sad! I can’t stand Michael Jordan he now sickens me. Kwame is getting the last laugh.
😭😭😭😭
Hazing like crazy 😞
right im glad he is because they throwing dirt on dude name for years. Now they want him to hush lol
Love The Brotherhood and Support, and coming out to speak the plain truth, you was there.
" I hope this makes the media think twice about how They talk about ppl publicly" - Etan Thomas
Thank you guys for backing Kwame up. Seriously. Respect y’all.
I’m a Kwame Brown fan for life!!
Kwame is beautiful human inside and out
The God in him made him persevere. You can’t break what you didn’t create.
Yes, God knows who to give these types of assignments to in life. It’s a hard burden but it only given to the strongest of the strongest.
Fact👍🏽👍🏽💯
Yes this is so true and I salute the young man Kwame Brown because the lesser of a man would have broke years ago.
Why would god care about basketball? Lmfao.
@@Y0utubeIsFuckingHomo he doesn’t, he’s cares about the soul. DUH 🙄
Singing "Brothers gonna work it out!" Classic! Very nice how these brothers came together to support Kwame...so nice to hear them speak the truth and reflect on the abuse that he endured.
Mannnnn some evil was done to this brother. Why didn’t anyone defend this child?
The MJ Effect would silence all he cast a shadow over
Because people worship Jordan, don't know the fuck why.
I never understood it either
Money 💰 Idolizing
@Michael Smith me too
This brings so much clarity to the reasons Kwame didn't flourish the way he may have under different circumstances. He definitely was a solid player regardless. I'm very glad he's spoken up. He's truly done his momma proud. In fact He did so 20 years ago. Thanks for these insights.
Yessssss 👏🏽👏🏽
It does and why he has 20 years of mental notes on everyone
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Rite I believe he would have been a different player had not MJ come back or maybe he doesn’t get taken by da Wiz
@@rrw5834 he was playing like kevin garnett with the wiz.. but never had opportunity to dominate the ball
I’m so glad I watched this podcast. Glad they all told the truth and defended Kwame. At the end of the day, this time in history proves the point “what it is done in darkness, will come to light”.
Dam 🤦🏾♂️ MJ ain’t 💩 Kwame deserved way better. Should have been mentored but instead was messed with. #teamKwame 💯🙏🏽
This video needs to be shared more and the “media” needs to actually listen to this

Td Snakes is a Freemasonic Sellout. Furthermore, those are not his original words!!
Michael Jordan was always a asshole from day one, look I don’t care how great you are at basketball, you still have to treat people with respect. MJ is not God were you to worship him, he’s just a man. Shout out to Kwame Brown for being strong.
I agree. I kept hearing Mj was asshole. But becuz Mj well was Mj he was the franchise the brand. The powers to be was working hard for the public not to know the horrible side of Mj.
If this would have been put out when Mike was playing ppl may have looked at him differently.
Fuck MJ
Amen!
Kwame has ghosts. You can't treat a child like and not have something snap. MJ is a bloodless serial killer.
True facts 💯
This is interesting, so Doug Collins is an ahole and destroyed Kwame's confidence. But KB is strong minded at 18 yrs old. Props to KB.
Kwame is THE man!
Doug Collins was MJ puppet that's why MJ got him the coaching job.
Doug Collins, jordan, and Kobe may he RIP.
I can see that it’s both of 2 evils Collins gets a check and stays relevant and Mj does Mj oh it’s a dirty world ain’t it!!!!
Kwame was not confident enough in his game to overcome the rants from Collins and Jordan.....
So proud of you guys changing the narratives. I would rather watch you guys speak on sports than watching SAS on ESPN Black people need our own sports network to touch on our own people 🙌🏿💪🏾
You guys, this was beautiful, it was healing and black men coming together. This made my day my dudes
Shut uppppp with this black stuff. Geez.

I’m loving this conversation by theses 4 brother’s.
This is so refreshing to see these guys being honest
This was an awesome segment. Lifelong Wizards fan since Ledell Eackles. Loved all you guys. Always played with Wiz in 2k so it’s like I for real know you now.
This is beautiful
I’m so glad to see these brothers speaking out and letting the Truth be heard about Kwame Brown.
Y’all Get Big Ups for this! Kwame was one of the best hs players ever in basketball and it’s plain obvious that the time in Washington was a nightmare for em. Props to Kwame for being a True Warrior!
They tried to break his confidence BUT HE KEPT QUEIT I CAN UNDERSTAND IT
Salute to you brothers for telling the real story and not the Steven A version. I can't understand why they would treat the young brother like that? Now I can answer that question. It seems like a lot of hate. Kwame was the first if his kind and it seems like someone was focused on destroying the idea that a man can come straight from high school and be ready for the NBA.
Sike jordan was mad he had too go too college and here comes kwame out the sand box fuck Sike
agree
deep
stephen A is just a viewer, he doesnt know what happens in kwmane's life. He just judges whats going on the court
Why his team treated him like that? The owner wanted him around. MJ and Doug Collins didn't want him around.
That’s what’s up! Kwame is winning at life. He could’ve been this and that but at the end of the day he played in the nba for 13 years and is giving back to his community.
Facts
TRUTH, all you got to do is go back and look at some of his game footage even though he didn't live up to his potential on the basketball court he was still far from scrub. The dude had game
Having a strong moral compass is a valuable asset to have and make it in life. Kudos to these MEN.
Man, I had tears listening to some of this. My brother joined the army at 17 and his instructors didn't abuse him like that.
Man stfu. I was in the army at 18, they definitely shifted on him daily in basic training.
This podcast episode need to go viral!!!!!!
it will, it has too
For sure
this lit…true facts from the guys on the team with Kwame
It’s going to happen.
Really appreciate you guys doing this interview. Glad you guys brought the TRUTH to the Kwame situation.
I'm truly starting to think that there really was some kind of conspiracy to deter high school players from going to the league. Kwame Brown was the example they had to make.
I thought the very same thing! They wanted to make an example out of him!
Who would benefit from that? NBA is gonna draft talent, they didn’t have to draft him. He just landed in a bad situation with bad people. Not a conspiracy
@@torianmoore1234 conspiracy to get players to go to college first so they won’t lose money instead, which ended up happening.
Nail on the head
@@tradariusmaddox6827 yeah, I remember a few years after KB was drafted, they official released the rule to be in college for a year instead of right out of hs. colleges won’t lose millions & nba won’t either, and they used KB as their example... I’m sure MJ was all about MJ and making a comeback & the media/Doug was in his back pocket. everyone tried KB. It was messed up & im glad KB stayed strong. 🤜🏽🤛🏽
I got mad respect for these brothers having his back
These guys are saying everything I had been saying for over 20 years about MJ. David Stern and the NBA owners protected MJ at all costs. This is only the beginning.
These 4 guys have a whole lot of character to come forth and tell the Truth for fellow friend. This speaks well of Kwame Brown and these 4 men!
Thank you for telling the truth. Now we ALL know. Kwame did the best he could with the cards he was dealt, at 17. And didn’t trip off the money and his new life. That was his Momma’s Seasoning.
This is beautiful to see black men standing up for another when he did nothing wrong. PLEASE keep this up.
The whole world need to see and hear this video!
Thank you gentlemen for the real.
It’s amazing Kwame’s name is trending all over social media!
I'm glad to see former teammates step up and speak the truth about Kwame Brown. I hope more players will step up and speak in his behalf. I would love for MJ and Doug Collins to speak about Kwame. Thank you guys for stepping up.
I appreciate these guys honesty. You can tell a lot about a good man by how they stand up for their friends.
I stand with Kwame & I feel like his bullies are getting sprinkled with Momma's cooking deservedly so! Why keep kicking this grown ass man! He's tired of taking crap & lies! Leave him alone & you will remain safe!👀
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The REAL STORY FROM MEN WHO WERE THERE ON HIS TEAM. #KwameBrown #MamasCooking 🍲🍛
Straight up they were there!
This shit was fire 🔥 these some real individuals it’s nice to hear from average nba players who have a totally different perspective than stars ✨
I'm glad you GENTLEMAN are setting the record straight and confirming the TRUTH. Kwame is a stand up guy and people are angry that he is telling his truth. Much respect guys.
