What Is The Crib? Who & What Does It Represent?

In Opa-locka, FL, Darrell Streeter was born on November 21, 1977. Darrell Streeter's journey was no different, from watching his mother and father argue every Friday due to his father's cocaine addiction, to hearing his uncle's last words were "I'm not giving you any more money," and then learning of his demise that same weekend. Surely $5 was too little to pay for such dreadful news. “My dad put me in football when I was 9, my first game we got slaughtered by Southwest Boys club. ROC Preston former FSU star scored 4 times; I was surrounded by greatness growing up!” “One day walking through the mall my dad said who is that over there, it was Sugar Ray Leonard walking through the mall, I saw a real celebrity for the first time, something all too common when you grow up in Miami.” “When I played basketball in high school, coach Sergio Rouco taught me the meaning of hard work, and I didn’t want to let my teammates down.” “I Realized that I needed to do something different after high school then what everybody else around me was doing, so I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1996.” “In 2001 I was called back to the military when the war started Desert Storm.” But, as we see throughout the movie, there is victory in tragedy, and those triumphs begin unexpectedly. The reason we celebrate our youth who play football in south Florida is because, most of their stories are like mine, their home circumstances may not be the best, the environment outside of their homes might not be the best, some of them are the bread winners of their family, and football stands to teach them discipline, respect, love and business.
