    Alex was actually my teacher for a time, my college is in partnership with the team he plays for so i know him on a personal level, i also get vip seats for free and get to watch him play, believe me when i tell you this, he is the most humble and the most kindest person ever, even at class he taught other kids to stay out of trouble and dont mix with the wrong people. I never knew what he went through but when i read his book i was shocked, im glad to have met him and respect him more than anyone

      Abdullah Khan14 when u start starving to death your brain tells you to do things and sometimes it cancels out the part of your mind that says "oh no I can't eat a bug" and says "I will die if I don't eat this" crazy

      Abdullah Khan14 he's right I was broke you when I was 1-10 years old you've got to find something to eat mainly because when you're starving it hurts so bad all you want to do is stop the pain it's like having a baby but like 5 times worse

      Unmatched nut busting prowess Also Malaysia, Indonesia, Qatar, and Bahrain are alright especially the urbanized areas and I've been to all 4. Turkey's not so bad either and it's pretty open on the West Side. I'd still prefer these places over the most violent region in the world which is Latin America especially Honduras, El Salvador and Venezuela any day.

    • @radityapoerwanto7018
      @radityapoerwanto7018 6 лет назад +1

      That's because Indonesia is not fully Islamic state. The majority of the people are muslim, but not all of it. Muslim laws are not national laws.

    He has a book about his life and what happened over there too called Qaddafi's Point Guard. That's how I first heard of him and his story. This video was a nice summary. If you liked the video, the book is great too and goes into even more detail.
