The Real ATL

1*

Imma take you back. Way back to 1970.

"One day we gonna be famous" Jahquan said dribbling the ball as we walked towards the court.

"Man you can't even move around a court. You staying in the hood." Jaylon said laughing takin the ball out his hands.

These were the best times sittin around the block. Playin ball. Not a worry in the world. If only we knew we would end up like this.

So hurt.

So damaged.

So distant.

"Let's just play ball." I yelled snatching the ball from Jaylon and running towards the court.

Don't you miss when your young. A simple game of b'ball took all the stress away. How I pray to play basketball again and have that stress go away.

"Ayo, ya see them girls over there...That one right there look like the wave." Jahad said pointing to a group of girls.

I ain't gonna lie shorty was thick. But she was cute so it balanced out.

Before I could even agree I saw all of them walking towards the girls.

Damn I just wanted to play ball.
