conversation couple front guy initiate last quiet starts stuff sudden talking
He's been talking a little for the last couple of days. We've been laughing, having some fun. He even got on me the other day for having my stuff in front of his locker. But he's a quiet guy. He really doesn't say much. I pretty much had to initiate the conversation and then all a sudden the guy just starts blabbing. Hey, you'd never know that guy could talk so much.

based black diamond drives drove fancy liked perception player seen team wears
I was never really liked in that city. I mean, I don't think I was liked as a person. I was kind of seen as a black kid, young African-American, cornrows, drives fancy cars, wears diamond earrings, things like that. They just kind of based their perception off of what I drove and what I did and things like that. All those things were never a part of any other player on that team but me.

I can't even get a read on him or how he's feeling. As long as I've known him this year, he's been the same, no matter what. What's so special about this game?
figured gone miss
I don't think he should have gone that far. I figured I'd get fined, but I didn't think I'd miss the whole first quarter.
