John Wall Throwing Gang Signs

[JokersWild24]

With the link today on KSR, does it bother any other UK fans that Wall is repetitively throwing gang signs and doesn't seem to care about it in the least bit?

Not sign language, him doing the same type of thing in the NBA:

 

Not sign language at the SEC Tourney:

If nothing else, dude is really going to end up hurting his image and endorsements.

Paul Pierce, Derrick Rose and James Harden are other NBA players who have allegedly thrown up gang signs. Not sure where James Harden is from but Pierce is from LA and Rose is from Chicago. I am sure they both know or are related to gang members. With Wall being from North Carolina it makes me chuckle that he is throwing up gang signs.

Are 3 goggles a gang sign?

I wonder how Desean Jackson feels about it with them both in Washington.

That's a pretty well known Blood's sign. Looks like the guy next to him is throwing a CK for Crip Killer.

Depends on where you are. In LA they are. On many college campuses they resemble the hand sign of Kappa Alpha Psi members. 99% of the time on a basketball court they mean " I made a 3 pointer".

They're on the same side tho, so maybe a crisis is averted.

I was thinking Jackson was throwing up crip signs because I had to find pictures of him in red. I could be mistaken though.

I think you are right. I was getting confused because Jackson's Twitter account didn't mention the letters 'CK' together. Makes sense with him being a West Coast guy. Looks like the war is on.

I better be more careful. When I'm on vacation and I see another guy in UK gear I often throw up the goggles.

 

Oops.

Could get hairy if they are at the same place with their 'crews'. :lol2:

That is kind of a gang sign when you frame it like that. :lol2:

I think that parts of Raleigh might surprise you with how bad they're portrayed to be. No Los Angeles or Chicago, but not the best places to find yourself either if you wind up in the wrong part.
