Believe me I know first hand.He was taken in by Betty Cook after his Mother was tragically killed, so for that I used to have some sympathy for him.
But, since he's still out there acting a *** I have none.
It should be a lesson to Miami kids, even if you don't come to the U, if you think you're doing something to us by going to UF or FSU, you're just gonna end up playing yourself.
That's was my aunts best friend Sheree and it is a tradegy that he's still doing things like this but this is the world these kids live in and where I use to live in and come from you don't shed life long tendencies in a matter or months or years..
It's the reason why I'm going in on him, when something like that happens to you as a young man, that's the perfect opportunity to change for the better & become determined to be the best you can be.
It ain't easy, it ain't easy at all, but that's what makes it important to honor the legacy of your Mother.
You don't let tragedy turn you into a criminal, you use it as a moment to elevate yourself from your surrounding circumstances.
Every time he's presented with doing something wrong the first thought that should come to his mind is his Mother & how she would feel if she knew what he was doing. It should be the main reason why he's not out there scamming & getting in trouble.
As an adult I totally understand and don't condone his or any other kids behavior such as this.. However, I'm stating that there is plenty of truth as to why these kids leave Miami because of bad company even if the kid is (like in this case) a troublemaker himself. I graduated from Miami NorthWestern and was a senior when Teddy and Amari Cooper was around I know their personalities they are truly special kids that would have and can live through bad company and make good sound decisions.. phillips just isnt one of those kids. Antwann Easterling was another great player that had bad company because of the environment he lived in. Trouble is all some of these kids know and most of the times it is better to get out of town from bad company this just happened to be a time when the kid is/was the trouble maker
