OMG I can't believe this

if I see one more episode about someone looking for handouts.

I remember when shows used to have you rooting for the people the show was about. Only to be upset that they didn't make it at the end. This show just flat out tells ypu these people are idiots who got lucky with some money. They don't know what to do with it nor do they know how to invest it. So don't even bother trying to support them because they will do something something stupid to ruin it anyway no matter what.

So exactly what would you suggest??? Don't live one the problem, create a solution.

I enjoy the show and I'm just happy to be along for the ride. I personally believe that there are no solutions for these people. Basically Cam making it to the NBA was like the family winning the lottery.

And like most lottery winner's and many professional athletes. I see the show ending with them flat broke back in the same ghetto that they started in. But I doubt this show will be that realistic.

Now, unless I completely misunderstood the first episode, he didn't get to go to the camp because he was lucky; he arranged for the other guy to get jumped so they could take his basketball camp money and go instead. Now, that doesn't mean that if they other guy made it to the camp that he'd have made it in the NBA (or even made the NCAA). The other guy could have gone to the camp and not had what it takes since it didn't appear to be a skills based camp as much as it was a who can afford to pay camp. Had the other guy had it, he could have played in HS and parlayed it into a college scholarship & had Cam not had it then it would have simply been a summer camp away from the projects.

It happened when they were kids, but Cam said that he and Reggie stole Marcus' money, that he had saved up to go to the camp, to pay some girl to strip for them and when they got to her house, her brother beat the hell out of them and stole the money from them.
