About the Author

When I was a young boy growing up in Orange, New Jersey me and my friends use to play basketball in the park all the time in the summer. We had all walks of life coming to the park to see us play. The older teenagers and college students that worked in the park would stay after their shift was over. Friday afternoon was the best. You got people that worked from 9 to 5; then you have your players that don’t work but have other ways of making money. After work these young men would get their drink and smoke on. The flavor at that time was 40 oz. beer and reefer. The players were too clean and pretty to play ball. They have their shoes or sandals with their short set on. They only took a couple of shots in between games. Now the blue collar players they don’t mind getting sweaty because they are a bunch of women on the sideline watching the game. You would think we played for the N.B.A. The women were no different from us except when they have their 40 oz. they would bring their small clear plastic cups; Ladies never drink out of bottles. When the brother with the boom box comes through all man! You have all the ingredients to a great block party. When the party is over all you see was empty beer bottles and E-Z wizer boxes all over the ground. Now you got both groups have a little liquor in them, here comes the arguments. Who is a real player? A blue collar player or the one that don’t work; they both agreed on one thing life is a game so for a long time I use to think about the same question. When I got older and a little wiser, I learned that life is a game and we have many boards and levels to play on. As far as being blue collar player or player, it’s almost the same thing except one chooses to work and move up in a company or start their own business. The other one runs his mouth and the streets capitalizing off of somebody else’s work; let’s see how long that will last. The thing is you choose the life that you want to live. Players of all walks of life never sit on the sidelines. They are going to live life to the fullest with their own set of rules. When it was time for me to make a choice, it was a no brainer. It seems like so called players were getting locked up at the end of the summer. A brother like me can’t do no time in jail and besides work never bother me.
