How am I just finding out that the real dude Donnie Andrews who Omar was based on was on the show as one of his bodyguards in jail...lol

That was cool seeing a young Prop Joe (one of my fav characters). I remember when I first seen him on the basketball court in that suit he was just some corny fat ****.

Young Omar was real small. I was expecting it'd be the other guy.

Melvin Williams who Avon was kinda based on played the deacon.

The deacon was the real life Avon?

You couldn't help bit to love string dealing with straight ignorant street ******.
