AFTER THE SHOT DOPS
By Randy Ribay
Nasir Blake
With Maximillian Martinez
Q1: So Nasir, to start off this interview what was it like with your own friend, Bunny moving to a different high school?
A: Yeah man, it was very hard to deal with at first since I’ve known him my whole life, and he just left to fight for myself like I didn’t even matter to him, and that led me to feel that I was betrayed, and that led to a lot of events that I can’t even get into.
Q2: Next question, how did it feel spending time with Wallace? Was it fun? Was it risky? Was it stressful? We have to know.
A: AIght, so Wallace was a very dangerous person to be around. If you want to be safe, and you want a hundred percent chance that nothing will happen to you then Wallace is the last person you want to be with. But yeah he led me down a very dark path, which made me make some bad decisions.
Q3: Alright Nasir, how did it feel when you had to go against Bunny in the tournament?
A: Wow, that's a tough one. Well it was very tough and stressful since he was my friend, and he is very good, so it was very tough to stop him.
Q4: Next question. Would you transfer to the same school Bunny goes to?
A: Okay wow. Ummmmm. That’s tough right there. You know what. Yeah I would know that I think about it because I’d get a better team, environment, and I’d have a good template and friend, which is Bunny.
Q5: Alright moving on from that. Did you ever think that you were better at basketball than Bunny at some point.
A: Oh yeah for sure. I still do. Hear me out I’m the better finisher, the better shooter, the better defender, the better ball handler, I’m more athletic, and he can’t carry his team like I do. I have to carry them into the playoffs every year just for us to lose. He has good teammates; all of my teammates are just some washed up bums.
Q6: Alright let’s move on. Do you enjoy playing basketball or do you just play it for the benefits like Nikola Jokic?
A: This is the dumbest question I’ve ever heard. Of course I like playing basketball. I’ve been in love with the game ever since I was young.
Q7: My bad, Nasir, but anyways what’s your opinion on Bunny?
A: Bunny is very smart, talented, hardworking, and responsible. That man is one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. He’s a good basketball player, he works hard, and right now I have nothing but love for that man.
Q8: Okay now how do you feel about Wallace?
A: Now Wallace is a whole different person. He’s very irresponsible, he’s not talented, he’s a very dangerous person to be around, and he just makes bad decisions.
Q9: That makes sense, but everyone needs to know; How did you and Bunny make up?
A: After one of his games I went to the basketball court, and we saw each other, so we just started talking, and the rest is history.
Q10: Alright, now this is your final question. Why did you start to be against Wallace? He’s your own cousin.
A: Alright, so when I was still feuding with Bunny he made me do some things that would affect Bunny negatively, but it would benefit Wallace, and overall he just led me down the wrong path.
