This is a fantastic scene although String has a very good point in regards to business. But what String did not understand is the streets and your name and how people perceive you. Avon knew that if he was toilet on those corner people would be saying that he is weak and turned soft, thus making him appear weak. So he had to display that he was still in control and of top.

Avon is the man, and this scene does a great job of showing the fundamental difference between the two. Stringer was in it for the money. Avon was in it (yeah for the money too) mostly for the rep and control of the West Side. He wasn't peace time boss.

@jesusftw what you wrote was the best description of that dynamic I'd ever read. Existential crisis indeed.

Stringer explaining opportunity cost and diminishing marginal returns

I don't see how String was more or less of a rat than Avon was. It's the game, plain and simple. Avon had to give up Stringer because of the game. Stringer had to do the same...it's the game. But in the end, Stringer's advice was best in this scene. Avon just figured it out too late. Who really cares who runs the corner if you're taking the loot anyway?
