right, so here it goes. although now relocated (LA BOS), (and if we haven’t given it away by now!) the b3sci crew is cleveland-born and bred. blah blah blah, anyway, this shit’s been all over the internet the last 24 hours/entire summer/last 3-4 years/since bron was first drafted. but anyway, miami is way cooler than cleveland, no shit. we get that. but to punk out your hometown on natl tv? bron, please. and the whole akron/cleveland thing is bullshit. all that really separates ak and cle is 30 miles of I-77. it’s like asking someone from texas if he’s from dallas, and dude replying, “fuck nah! i’m from fort WORTH!” (accent on worth). or “nah, dude, you thought WRONG! i rep that g-a-r-l-a-n-d (garland, tx) “minneapolis? fuck what ya heard! st. paul is in the building!”. keep it classy in mia, lbj
