NBA players come from all over the world. Some players come from a basketball family, some are the sons of rich people, and some are from slums. Today, let's talk about the "tough guy role" with background in the NBA.
Everyone is most familiar with Melon Anthony.
Anthony was born in Baltimore's notorious slum, which was full of crime and fighting. Anthony was nurtured in this environment since childhood. Anthony and his girlfriend had a big fight in the bar. In another case, Anthony was caught in a drug abuse and gun scandal. Some netizens ridiculed: "Society is my melon brother!"
Very similar to Anthony is Iverson.
Iverson was born in a slum and was used to crimes such as guns and drugs since he was a child. Before Iverson entered the NBA, he was jailed for beating.
In the league, there is a thing that is circulated. Marbury was slapped in public because he accidentally provoked the girlfriend of a local gangster drug dealer. Marbury never dared to leave the hotel. When Iverson knew Marbury was in trouble, he called his men. It is said that as soon as the drug dealer heard that he was a friend of Iverson, he didn't dare to make trouble. It was Iverson who solved the problem by phone.
And Roy, you may not have heard of it.
As for Roy, many people will regret his career. But few people know that Roy has a deeper gangster background than Anthony. Roy once dared to reprimand Randolph, the team boss at that time, in the locker room of rookie season. Hayes said in an interview that Roy is a real "gangster" in the NBA. When others go to Seattle to play away games, they all go to high-end nightclubs, and Roy only goes to nightclubs belonging to blacks. First, the grade is quite low, and second, the personnel are quite complicated. In the team, as long as anyone dares to quarrel with Roy, he can try his best to kill him.
