0:10.0

moments from club, Shasha, so far.

Hey, you did it all. You missed the basketball, Mr. Football, and Newport. You're from Newport,

0:30.3

yeah, you from Newport. Newport, Newport, yeah. Michael Vick, Sweet P, Perna, Winners, all

0:37.1

y'all from down that area. Let me ask you this, had you not chosen basketball? Do you think you
