OLIVER NORTH / PRESIDENT REAGAN BROUGHT TONS OF COCAIN INTO THE COUNTRY, ........ WHERE DO U THINK THOSE DRUGS WOUND UP?

[melv4]

Its crazy because Hook was at my basketball game on Sunday June 19, 2011.. and I didnt even know who he was. He was helping me warm up at half time and trying to help improve my jumpshot. He's a good guy, I wouldve never thought he had been through the obstacles he has been through.. Hes a great person.

[CoverGirl084]

@melv4 so he is still clean! That's great!



[edoboss505]

@melv4 wow man .... it must have been a real shock after you seen this movie .... hah

[12eburton]

[killuminatiplz]

nigga u aint lyin, a couple in every hood, maybe they never went to jail, maybe they got injured or had a shorty, but its alot of niggas that aint make to the mlb nfl nba shit soccer jus because of major setbacks that should of been minor

[mottent]

its a hook in every hood

[Smokegerbs21]

god this god that god aint gon help for shit! he needed help from his closes peers and they ignored him!

[edoboss505]

@Smokegerbs21 God help those ...who help themself first .....no one can help you if you don't chose to help yourself first

[Timetraveler7777]

compelling story, great production!

[waveali]

This shit is so sad if he back on that stuff. These fucking drugs have ruined so many in our community and family. In the end someone on drugs has to make that change for themselves and no matter how much they family and friends love them it wont make a difference to they are ready to make that change.

[DBZnetwork]

What a Shame.So much talent forgotten , All by Drugs.

Demetrius "Hook" Mitchell , He could have been the greatest point guard in the NBA.

God Bless You Hook.

[ESSJ333]

nate robinson is 5'9'' and he can dunk so i guess thats what hook could have been oh well he has only himself to blame for being in prison

[means107]

wow its crazy how someone with so much talent can fall through the cracks

[GOGYRL79]

Great movie.....

[ivan8149]

GOOD BLESS YOU ''HOOK''!!!!!!!

[personses]

as sad as this is this is such a motivation to not end up like him. if someone wants a motivational tool this is it.

[GEasy5]

same thing happened to booger smith from new york. they say booger was the best player to never make the league and it was cause of drugs he aint make it. they made a movie bout him to its called soul in the hole check it out

[WemSum]

so when does he get out?

[bondservant4Him]

I seen this dude riding a bike at Lowell Park he back on drugs true story man, sad i know

[lilwiltchamberlain]

its sad to hear stories of great talents gon to waste. theres a guy i kno personally they call him 6'9 cause he's so tall. he's really only like 6'5 but he has extremely long arms and a 44 inch vertical which makes him a best on the boards. i hear guys say he could've been a better rebounder than rodman gerald wallace haslem dwight howard josh smith and all those guys but so many street fights landed him in and out of jail so he will probably end up as anotha great talent gon to waste

[lilwiltchamberlain]

one tym derrick favors josh smith jerry stackhouse joe johnson tyson chandler and a few more nba players played a pick up game at a gym in atlanta called run n shoot and mane dat guy 6'9 was skying over derrick favors and tyson chandler and even took some from josh smith. all of them were wondering why he wasnt playin pro or college but that street mentality has a hold on him but we all try to help em out but tha decision to listen will be on him so to me hes one of the greatest not playin pro

[delight1984]

true story??

[bondservant4Him]

unfortunately yes man

[ESORYNO]

ROLAFRICAIN i feel u i watched hook in hi prime but i wa suprid what he had left truly a legend

[roiafricain]

'bonservant4Him' how do you know that "Hook" is back on the wrong path again? Where did you hear that? I truly hope he's not for that matter because the non-profit program he started in '04 is a wonderful initiative!

[heavykid155]

3:18 Special by Drake

[bondservant4Him]

unfortunately he is back on drugs and living that street life again

[justohara]

@bondservant4Him

really? are you serious? what a drag.

[bondservant4Him]

yeh unfortunately man

[Blackseed1978]

this brought me to tears real talk so many people have talent and let it go to the streets i am one of them i i made wrong decisions in my life as well and i was very talented in basketball also for all young people watching this never loose hope in striving towards forfilling your goals in life never give up remember that

[jaroby8]

i cried wen i saw dis really touchin kuz im frm oakland n i know how real it iz out der n i wish was n da nba rite now.he had hall of fame potential but he blew it all bkuz he didnt have a mom or dad n da community really raised him n got him on 2 drugz..his only mentor whu cared 5 him died n datz made him feel lyke he was notin n he spent out of control n throw away his life..n dat women talkn D.Patton is a teachers aide at my school n she hate talkn bout it...but thankz 4da upload dat touched

[sblackNFTU]

it ultimitly was his choice to sniff coke ...

[roadcommander132]

SweetJRT, thanks for sharing this, much appreciated.

I sincerely feel for Hook. A product of his community. This just reaffirms that we got to worry about OUR kids before we worry about the rest of the world.

We failed Hook and all the countless people like him.

[SweetJRT]

You are welcome. Hook is a product of his community, but he also needs to be held accountable for what he did. People come out of the same projects as him and have made something of their lives. Everyone makes their own choices.

[rsohlich1]

@SweetJRT true but the drugs were a power he just messed with and didn't UNDERSTAND the real consequences of those drugs like cocaine and heroin. They are PURE evil, especially heroin because it becomes a REAL NEED. like water almost, or the air you breathe,

[josephwaynesimmons]

great story

[pearlfection08]

I'm praying for him if he is back on that stuff. Lord be with him.

[pearlfection08]

He has so much pain, he never really knew what love was, or any support, which is why he turned to drugs. His form of addiction is serious because he's using it to cope/ In addition to that, getting out of prision then going back to the same negative environment, chancesof recovery are slim.

[ncdc123]

if anyone ask me, whos my favorite baskeball player, Demitrius Hook Mitchell is my favourite basketball player

[thirdandlong303]

what is the name of the song at 3:18

[two415dude]

idk if u found wut that song was but its Closer by Goapele

[nookie569]

I think this is an excellent story that's packed with messages about life; a man that's broken, staying true to yourself and your dreams, don't let you surroundings dictate who you are, overcoming obstacles etc etc. Prisons are full of stories such as this. I don't just mean the brick and mortar type. I mean the prisons of our minds. Every day it's an all out war to achieve what we want and the push to get it must be stronger than the forces coming against you.

[d1powell]

Man sometimes we dont know how blessed we are... This was a great documentary... We definately need more movies like these...

[jbobbydigital]

Good stuff

[Jordan19930P]

hey whats songs title in this video in the end

THanks

[medcardman]

i wanna ball wit hoops...n im in oakland every week...wats da deal?

[SweetJRT]

hit up Mosswood in North O cats stay hoopin up there

[CatDome4Life]

Best video I have seen on YouTube. Thanks for the upload. This is so sad to me. If it's true that he is back on drugs, please, please, someone in the Oakland area reach out to him. I know his mistakes are numerous, but it is how we serve others that matter most. Pray for Hook and those that he surrounds himself with. Someone please try and track him down... God Bless Hook.

[SweetJRT]

I wish reaching out to Hook was that easy. I know a lot of people that are friends with Hook and that grew up with him, but sometimes the power of drugs is just to strong. It's between Hook and God now nobody else can reel him in.

[baerumsverk23]

he is so deep im gonna learn from his mistakes and hopefully i will make it

[sirspencemasta]

Good luck Hook.

[360MAXPAIN]
