does anyone think he was better than mj?

[limas312]

Oakland, ca is not the birthplace to the most NBA stars. .

[MadnessOnFilm]

Dont miss your shot at improving your lives, homies. I've screwed-up so many BIG oppertunities and nothing feels worse then looking back and saying to yourself "Damn, what was I thinking".

[bottomsbaby]

@MadnessOnFilm real spill....

[tellthetruthg]

crazy story if I'm not mistaken he robbed the Blockbuster in the diamond district. getting away ran through an Apt my friend lived in. That means he ran past a rottweiler and the apt was a dealers spot so he was extra luck not to get shot. My friend told me and he doesn't know or care about basketball . Hook must have been on one to run that get away route

[chrischuchua]

THATS MY BOY RIGHT THERE! MAD LOVE HOOK... THANKS FOR THE WORKOUT ADVICE DAT YOU GAVE ME AT TRINITY RIVER

[hyperdunk243]

he was better than everybody yoll'e he was better than jason better than gary yow

[use2slam2]

someone on here wrote that this fool is his idol, not Bill Cosby(he tells it like it is and he's labeled an Oreo or uncle tom) no not Tyler Perry or FL.Congressman Allen West no this

locked up criminal fool. wonder why the black community is in shambles-this is considered an idol,we make up just 12.2% of the pop and account for 49% of all violent crime,67% of the entire prison pop and have the highest rate of fatherless homes of ANY ethnic group,but hey this guy had hops,please !!!

[africandude1]

@use2slam2 Its because this guy understands what he did wrong and is actually working towards bettering himself and reforming himself, owning up to his mistakes like a man. The circumstances didn't make it easy for him to do better, but he is obviously trying now. I know your comment is old but I had to say somthing.

[DARRINCONNOR1]

They gotta fukin dentist in that joint or what??

[imserious2187]

hook vs the goat

[persentable]

Oh, He was definitely better than Blake Griffin

[Macdoo2]

whats the song at the start?



[therealchopmaster]

This is DOPE & such a thin line between Hook & the NBA! I'm sure every town has one, but Hook is from my town & that Nig Is DOPE! It is a sad story but it has to be told!

[Fripitto]

Reminds me of Earl Manigault.

[jenhungluvgoo]

oakland is the worst , crack is sold from ice cream truck drivers, to kids old ladies, dont matter as long as u got money, probably a murder/homicide/burglary/grand theft /robbery/shootout jst about everyday its like the grand theft auto video game come to life , especially where hooked lived in west oakland...

[VorhautDominatoR]

Awesome Carismen Person Got damn

be care B'Baller I Love this Games

[killuminatiplz]

his game is STILL nice, considering how old he is and everything, nice explosive dunks

[SLIMSLO1]

I'm 'hooked' on dat beat, no doubt!

[onspecialk]

the song at 3:30 is krumb snatcha - prison life

[Bratpfannenuser]

It is touching me time and time again, the intro's just givin' me the chills, don't know why. Maybe because it's poetry in motion. Maybe it's art. Or just knowing that no one else will ever know, why I've fallen in love with this sport. Or do you?

[Dredayyy]

West Oakland, Acorn for Life, hook still a town legend

[eliizme]

The real KICKER is that DUDE IS 5'9!!!

[lakerslove2416]

I saw hook on NBA tv about 6 yrs ago. His story made me cry. Hes the best dunker EVER!!

[savonya]

What most people dont know is that i know why hook,got hooked on hop. He was in the car crashed that killed my brotha. Eric Bell,the car also had hook inside,along with JR Rider,some some other cat. My brotha skull crushed,before he died he ask was everybody ok? Hook had a broken arm other dude was paralized from the waist down and JR only had bumps and bruises. My brotha and hook were cousin,they were really close,losing Eric affected the whole family more so hook!
