Now look at my neighborhood for example you can freely buy marijuana and all you need is a simple doctor's note saying you have headaches. Drug laws were an easy way to lock a bIack people.
I pray that this man gets the support and positive attention from his testimony that he needs. Seems like a real stand up guy. I’m from Memphis so I heard of his story 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
God bless you William Bedford. We love you and rooting for you. Wish you nothing but the best the rest of your life. Keep your head up and keep grinding with your food truck! 💪🏾
@Jay dilla A 62-year-old who played 10 or more years in the NBA will earn over $215,000 annually from his pension according to hoops high. if he on the roster for 1 NBA Game that's considered a season. So, let's say he played 5 seasons that would be $4,115 every 2 weeks. You could live like a king in Memphis if you got that kind of income. ijs
That crazy iam from Beaumont Tx the stories I hear about that place is crazy I gotta few potnas in the Feds but the in the low or the camp that maximum ain't nothing to play with it's ppl from everywhere there
Project Pat and William Bedford did time in my city!! Beaumont, TX aka BMT, Big Murder Texas, Bloody Beaumont! Boys in BMT don't play at all. Not the best stigma to hv on ya home town but it is what it is! 🤷🏿♂️
I’m from Louisiana I did 2 yrs in tdc 1 yr a Garza east and Dominguez in San antionio it was the hardest time I ever had to do cause it wasn’t no hotpot no cell phones they barley got packs in go to store 1x a month no radio no ac no hot water in the shower
At times I wonder if my calling is a mentor .. from the age of 11 until my last bid I'm done! Bbrc,BbH,T.Y.C.recommit. State jail1,tdc1, federal 1ce .went to trial.and lost
Exactly bro, I thought the same thing. I have family in Memphis and was just there visiting last week. If I know the name of the food truck I'd tell my family about it and go myself next time I visit.
Vlad too fuckin busy looking for juicy shit... he's just messy... i only clicked because of the name and I'm interested to hear what he has to say... but Vlad? 👀🤨🚫👎🏾🚓🚔
Yeah I ran into...that samolian that hijacked the ship.vessel Was there w the man who killed the cardinal in the mexica airport ...a few well known others @ bmt USP
You know another 7 footer who likes to cook?... It would be awesome to see him and Shaq link up. Shaq love to cook and has his own cook book. Best wishes my brother 🙏
Beaumont my second home stayed there in the 90s. Went to Odom Academy. 1st place I ever seen TV in a car (Lac)with Chameleon paint all white interior. Back when Lil keke dropped that song Southside
Being a detroit fan...heard on a sports talk show yrs ago a story from some guys that played bball pick up games during the summers with Mr Bedford that the man is anatomically correct.word
They knew who their dad was because he's famous. Sad the trials he had to endure because he's a naturally intelligent man. But professional sports is not all what's it's chalked up to be, the business creates this aura that these dudes are not routinely human like the people who pay to be entertained by them. They're susceptible to misfortune like anyone else. Glad big Bed never gave up despite his tremendous hardships. Respect and hand to a Memphis Tigers Legend! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Vlad I’m tyler William was like a unc to me lol his ring finger has my moms name on it. They didn’t work out but he’s still a great guy. What he’s saying is true. He’s very nice very funny loves Cane Corso. Hard work ethic I was 14 teaching me not to make these same mistakes he did.
Nba should have a union to take care of past players this makes no sense to me all this money being passed around if you make it 7 years in the league you get the pension
Yeah if only you were buying every players jersey watching every game at home while also buying a ticket to every home game possible for every team....Then maybe they might of been able too.
Vlad I know u a smart guy so why not invest in this guy restaurant u should give him a 100k loan or be a investor for him💯👍 give back to the ppl on your platform sometimes🤷🏾♂️
Man u could took the NBA money and franchised a McD or BK...man the NBA, NFL, MLB gotta mandate financial literacy the first 2 years ....can't take a 18-22 year old workin class at best with no idea on saving investing anythingonly seen the struggle they whole life...give him millions and think they gone know what to do and how to stay out of trouble...yea they adults but they ain't grown yet..
If I was him I would’ve tried to be a personal trainer, he doesn’t have a certificate but he’s an ex basketball player, so I’m sure some parents would pay him to train their kids privately
Sum prisons operate like boot camps - ur up @ 5am dressed & standing for count after count u get 5 min to eat bkfst & u report to ur assigned job by 5.30am & u work for 20 or 30 cents an hour until 6pm 6days a week - if u refuse or disobey an order u r handcuffed & shackled & sent to solitary confinement for months - builds character & gets u tough for the world outside of ur mind
You on some hater bs. It's not about what you do when you fall. Get up and keep it moving...its bigger than you. He had kids to raise. I salute this OG.

25 pounds of Marijuana, a non-violent offense. A non-violent offender gets sent to bloody Beaumont? A maximum security prison, like what the fuck?
Multiple offenses over years
@@italianwaterice9594 Thought it was his first charge, what else he do
That's a Lie! He just told you that the WARDEN GAVE HIM SPECIAL PRIVILEGES BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE NO WRITE UP'S!
@@PrinceTae rocks
Now look at my neighborhood for example you can freely buy marijuana and all you need is a simple doctor's note saying you have headaches. Drug laws were an easy way to lock a bIack people.
10 years in prison for weed?They sure do us dirty..SMH
Probably under a corrupt democrat president
us?
Black law
White law
🤷🏿♂️
Thanks to Joe Biden.
FACTS!
Big Fella didn't blame anybody and bounced back on the outside.
👏🏿
Glad he is getting his life together again. Really happy to hear he’s doing better
I pray that this man gets the support and positive attention from his testimony that he needs. Seems like a real stand up guy. I’m from Memphis so I heard of his story 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I live in Beaumont, TX and he's not lying. It's ugly in the prisons here.
Ms.Angie...I did read your comments and yes you take a pretty woman beautiful Woman 💝😍 photo😁
Motivation, I'm never giving up, I needed this interview.
@Jay dilla facts
25lbs of Marijuana he lost 10yrs of his life now dispensaries sell double that a day
Sh!t crazy man
It’s part of the drugs laws by Nixon to lock blacks and browns up facts
Rooting for this Guy 💪🏾
God bless you William Bedford. We love you and rooting for you. Wish you nothing but the best the rest of your life. Keep your head up and keep grinding with your food truck! 💪🏾
I'm from Beaumont. Way too many of my childhood friends will never leave that prison.
Damm
He played 7 years in the NBA, he should be getting at least $130, 000 to $150,000 a year from his NBA pension

Man it was serious at Beaumont they shipped all of us to usp mcquery in pineknot ky ..that was a new usp at the time 2008 and 2009...
When vlad say “na mean “ it sound like a undercover cop tryna score drugs off a corner boy
Can we all take a second to realize that a "normal" "boring" life isn't a bad thing at all. Cause life is all about the little things.
That crazy iam from Beaumont Tx the stories I hear about that place is crazy I gotta few potnas in the Feds but the in the low or the camp that maximum ain't nothing to play with it's ppl from everywhere there
Bad boy 4 life!! Just met him today at a signing cool guy!
I wish the best for this Brother 👏🏿👏🏿💪🏿💯
What’s the name of the food truck business??
Damn I heard that’s one of the deadliest prisons
Good for him. He is content in life. It is what it is. Glad I watched this.
Big Will I'm happy for you brotha keep up the great work OG.. Big Will you need to teach these young big men post up moves!!!!
It’s crazy how almost 1 in every 3 black male has been to prison or knows someone who has been to prison. Damn 💔
Maybe they should stop committing so many crimes and the black men should be fathers to their kids
@@snarlwayne7333 Right.. When yall commit a crime the law turn they head..
Becuz the system was build to lock u up.
That's what you say.@@ikewilson4500
Project Pat and William Bedford did time in my city!! Beaumont, TX aka BMT, Big Murder Texas, Bloody Beaumont! Boys in BMT don't play at all. Not the best stigma to hv on ya home town but it is what it is! 🤷🏿♂️
That is something to be proud of.
@@snarlwayne7333 I don't think so but I can respect boys thats trying to survive in the joint. 🤷🏿♂️
Pat was at the FCI not the USP
we need more of this ppl that really were in prison and is being real about it i did 8 years in tdc but respect the honesty here
You want a butterfinger or what
I did time in Florida it was bad but I heard y'all boys in Texas got a rough chaingang
@@jackjill8129 i mean its just prison but if you mean like slave camps like fr sun up to sundown
I’m from Louisiana I did 2 yrs in tdc 1 yr a Garza east and Dominguez in San antionio it was the hardest time I ever had to do cause it wasn’t no hotpot no cell phones they barley got packs in go to store 1x a month no radio no ac no hot water in the shower
@@Tracklife4 i feel ya but just chill cus its in our past now
Damn glad you gotta fix the audio on these
As a Piston fan I remember Bedford. I hope everything works out for him.
At times I wonder if my calling is a mentor .. from the age of 11 until my last bid I'm done!
Bbrc,BbH,T.Y.C.recommit.
State jail1,tdc1,
federal 1ce
.went to trial.and lost
Right!!! Vlad that's your trademark like seriously!!!! I can see it now; clothing line saying 🤔 Right 🔥 ✅️ 🤔 🤣 😏 😂
He sounds like DJ Paul
Dang my uncle locked up in Beaumont 😢
This dude played in the nba you mean to tell me no one he played with, no one he had contact with while in the nba had no type of spot for him.
It’s not that easy lol
@@stringer2295 Yeah it's that easy but unfortunately there's so many fake friendships/relationships in life!
@@bdailey8065 I would love to live in your world where somebody can just pick up anybody off the street and put them behind the bench 🤦🏾♂️
Unfortunately as a men ur left for dead no 1 care. No one care it like the previous comment a lit of fake friends.
How the hell Vlad not remind him to shout out the name/ info of his food truck 🤦🏽♂️
Exactly bro, I thought the same thing. I have family in Memphis and was just there visiting last week. If I know the name of the food truck I'd tell my family about it and go myself next time I visit.
I just saw him interviewed about his food truck. He gave a free meal to someone who is homeless. Check RUclips it might be on hère.
Vlad too fuckin busy looking for juicy shit... he's just messy... i only clicked because of the name and I'm interested to hear what he has to say... but Vlad? 👀🤨🚫👎🏾🚓🚔
Wow he was locked up in my hometown whew!!!
Yeah I ran into...that samolian that hijacked the ship.vessel
Was there w the man who killed the cardinal in the mexica airport ...a few well known others @ bmt USP
What up.. this is LiLJeff … we were in Fort Worth together… remember I was the bookie from Cali
Definitely push for that restaurant 💯
Every car dealer is definitely a criminal. All they do is sit around thinking about ways to rip people off.
I'm happy for the brother getting his own business and living life
What's the link to the food truck??
One of the saddest NBA story’s 🤌🏼 people forget these ppl are normal ppl they just do some things better than others.. - Vinny Boy Soprano
Good Interview Vlad 🐐🐐
I was at Beaumont from 2000 to 2008
What a great perspective he has on life
Project Pat spent time in Beaumont too!!
Good old Beaumont Texas! Death trap
He’s calling about Beaumont prison I’ve been there
If Vlad profiles don't hit at least 22 parts, you can tell he not fuckin wit it lol
You know another 7 footer who likes to cook?... It would be awesome to see him and Shaq link up. Shaq love to cook and has his own cook book. Best wishes my brother 🙏
He was at beomount camp.. not the penitentiary
Bloody Bloody Beaumont 🦾
Beaumont my second home stayed there in the 90s. Went to Odom Academy. 1st place I ever seen TV in a car (Lac)with Chameleon paint all white interior. Back when Lil keke dropped that song Southside
"Bloody Beaumont", hear Prince Miller and Clarence "Preacher" Heatley are in the feds at Beaumont.
Vlad didn't ask prison rape questions this time? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just wait!
@@anwarknight7667 vlad ain’t asking a 7 Ft 300lb man that.. quite sure ain’t nobody want them problems attempting to

Dude seems to start something but never finish it!!!
Bloody Beaumont....Rockin Robinson....Darrington....those the worst all time in TDCJ Texas penitentiary history ....
Why don't you hire him Vlad?!... Sounds like a intelligent guy!...
Who are these guys that Vlad keeps interviewing on his damn channel?
Audio fucked up around 3:40 vlad. Yall gettin sloppyyy lol jk
What did John Salley say about him?
Dayyum brother to the pistons to the feds
I hope Vlad invests in his restaurant...he seems like a good guy who made a couple wrong choices.
SALUTE
so bro don't look like thanos lol
Big Money Texas
B.M.T
Prayers for him....hope his food truck boom
Get my boy in touch w @Berner !!!!
Nba should have a union to take care of past players this makes no sense to me all this money being passed around if you make it 7 years in the league you get the pension
You were speaking In AA meetings lol you weren’t running any groups
That criminal justice might have helped him on his case but hey🤷🏽♂️
Not in the least bit would it have helped. But hey
Vlad played in the NBA?
This crazy one day we.gonna have to claim independence iin this place
Yeah I thnk that's the feds out there they had a lot of famous people there over the years from b.g. 🆓 b.g. 2 project pat
If they were paying nba players back then what they do now he wouldn’t have needed a 9-5 as a 7 footer, but that’s just how life work ig never fair
Yeah if only you were buying every players jersey watching every game at home while also buying a ticket to every home game possible for every team....Then maybe they might of been able too.
@@ohyababyohyea You feel accomplished now Rob?
@@PrinceTae are you really a prince?
He wouldnt have made the league in this small ball era where 7 footers gotta shoot and handle the rock
@@jonscobell9656 You might got a point
Vlad: did you do more college
Bedfort: “My major was criminal justice ain’t want to do that no more “😭😭😭
If he played to day he would be one of the best big guys in the league he played against so many good big guys.
He got drafted because of height only..he couldn't shoot
They won't find no players in Zimbabwe. Zimbabweans are all short.
Shout out BigMoneyTexas 409 STAND UP
Vlad I know u a smart guy so why not invest in this guy restaurant u should give him a 100k loan or be a investor for him💯👍 give back to the ppl on your platform sometimes🤷🏾♂️

You on some hater bs. It's not about what you do when you fall. Get up and keep it moving...its bigger than you. He had kids to raise. I salute this OG.
Anybody who grew up in or spent time in Memphis, Tennessee is going to have a difficult life. He played college ball at Memphis State.
You sound like a lame
He sounds like DJ Paul
Bedford sounded like that first
