Basketball to Drug Trafficking: The Story of Pee Wee Kirkland VICE Sports 2018-12-11 | Richard “Pee Wee” Kirkland began playing basketball in the streets of Harlem when he was 9-years-old. By age 13, he split his time between playing ball and committing robberies to help finance a growing drug empire. In college, Kirkland was the 1968 MVP for Norfolk State, turning down an offer from UCLA to play alongside Kareem Abdul Jabaar. Kirkland was then drafted by the Chicago Bulls but turned down their offer when he realized he could make more money in the drug game than the basketball game. With law enforcement on his tail, Kirkland found himself behind bars twice between 1971 and 1988. From there, he made a change, becoming a motivational speaker and inspiring young, inner-city athletes to take a different path out than he did.Presented by Ryot.Subscribe to VICE Sports here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-SportsCheck out VICE Sports for more: http://www.vicesports.comFollow VICE Sports here:Facebook: facebook.com/VICESportsTwitter: twitter.com/VICESportsInstagram: http://instagram.com/vicesports
The Death of NFL Star Will Smith VICE Sports 2018-12-04 | In this episode of Red Cards, a fender bender gets carried away, leading to the death of New Orleans Saints defensive end, Will Smith. The perpetrator claimed self defense, saying Smith was the aggressor. Renowned defensive end Will Smith was leaving the French Quarter Festival when security cameras show him lightly rear ending another vehicle. An altercation ensued, culminating in the other driver, Cardell Hayes firing shots at Smith and his wife, killing the retired football player. Smith family publicist, Lauren Renschler, called it “sick irony” that a New Orleans icon would die in the most typical New Orleans fashion - murder by gun violence. When Hayes was convicted, some rejoiced, while others wondered what would have happened if the roles were reversed, and “Saint Will” was the one claiming self defense.Presented by Ryot.

The Champion Mountain Biker Turned Drug Smuggler VICE Sports 2018-11-20 | VICE's Red Cards meets one of downhill biking's all-time biggest names, Missy "The Missile" Giove. One of the first women to break out on the mountain biking scene in the 90s, Giove was known for her high-intensity riding style and outspoken personality. Her peddle to the meddle attitude did not always result in the safest rides, however, and Giove suffered several injuries throughout her career, eventually causing her to put down the bike. With mounting medical bills and few other options for income after her career drew to a close, Giove sought a new form of adrenaline rush by smuggling millions of dollars worth of marijuana across the country. A massive DEA operation brought Giove head to head with law enforcement in 2009, and she faced up to 40 years in jail. Nearly 10 years later, we catch up with the daredevil to learn more about her life of high stakes racing.Presented by Ryot.Subscribe to VICE Sports here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-SportsCheck out VICE Sports for more: http://www.vicesports.comFollow VICE Sports here:Facebook: facebook.com/VICESportsTwitter: twitter.com/VICESportsInstagram: http://instagram.com/vicesports
