A Pro Ballers Crib in Kuwait

Last month Al Nasr, a Basketball team in Kuwait signed up American center John Francis Smith to play for their team. Well John is in Kuwait now and he’s made a video of the apartment the team has given him. It looks really nasty and very old, I don’t think I could even spend a night there yet alone live there. Its a really shitty place and he’s really really pissed. [YouTube]

This fool should quit immediately, board a plane to Guatemala City then join the Guatemalan Basketball League. He would still get a shitty apartment, but it would have unlimited access to tequila shots, spoonfuls of cocaine and plenty of Ho’s.

Good luck

No lights anywhere besides the bathroom?

He should have a contract to argue about, I doubt youtube will solve his problem.

His problem is he doesn’t have the white man edge Americans/Brits use here, so he can’t bitch and get his work done and live in Hilton resort or something..which’s extremely funny.

First of all I dont get whats so damn funny about this!! Imagine if u had to live this way yourselves- (this is directed to the commentors who think this is funny by the way!!!!)

It is attrocious and disgustingly dirty..no one deserves to live like this.
If he was being brought over by contract, there should be some conditions that apply to the living standards.

He should definately go and officially complain- not that I am saying that anything will be done, but its better than just sitting in absolute filth.

I wish him luck walla— cuz he is gonna need it!

NoNoWa – it’s funny because Al nasser can’t afford to pay for new shoes for it’s KUWAITI players, yet can afford to spend OUR goverments money on American Basket-Ball players .. hahahahahahaha our parliment is questioning Nouria Al-Subih and the entire country is falling apart, yet you think that this POOR – OVER PAID – BASKET BALL PLAYER is living in a DUMP! SO FUCKING WHAT !!! WHAT IF accomodation was not even mentioned in his contract ? you think he’d still be here if he wasn’t getting paid more than enough to go live in HILTON RESORT ….
I AGREE WITH Damon Dash .. he is just a sorry cheap basket ball player !!
i wonder where he used to live before he started playing PRO! what ghetto did he come from ?! complaining about a stove im sure that 10 years ago he couldnt even afford his electricity bills (at his paretns house)
AYSHAY !! hatha elee kan nages ..
oh and Suspic – i doubt that its because he’s black! i think it’s just because hes a sorry asses BASKET-BALL player !! not an engineer or a Professor ..

Way to go Al Nasr you sad f*ckin piece of shits.

This guy is going to send this info back to all his friends, his fellow sports pro’s and warn against pursuing a sports career in Kuwait.

Anyone who was thinking of coming here to boost our shitty sports scene, sure as hell wouldn’t come after seeing that.

Yet another catastrophic shot in the foot by Kuwait.

That place is disgusting and a pimp wouldn’t run a whore house out of it – let alone house an International Sports Player.

An animal shouldn’t live in that dump let alone a human being. Regardless of who he is or what he does that accomedation is not suitable for anyone. Why should he pay for it?? Didn’t they buy him and bring him here they should be responsible for everything.

he should have read the contract and specified his requests in terms of living arrangements…etc…..by the way…if he is PRO baller….how come he is asking for ONLY $2000/month?

Mesho, pro ballers salaries vary according to skills and clubs/championships; Kuwait’s BBall league isn’t especially known for big player salaries and Mr. Smith doesn’t look like a player with huge skills; in the end it’s a supply/demand thing

Compared to the places that most labors here in Kuwait live in, this place is a palace and its not like nobody knows about it, people here are just not bothered about it.
But for some reason this is something news worthy or worthy enough to make the main page just cuz the dude happens to be an american basketball player?

NASTY is right. Even cleaned up, what do you do about that ancient washing machine, that inoperable stove and the old, worn, torn furniture? They should be ashamed to give him such a dump. And just how well do they think he will play when he feels resentful and ill-treated?

Sunny the reason i posted this video up and not a video of where laborers are sleeping is because i dont have a video of where laborers are sleeping but i did find this one.

i doubt this guy is making a lot of money, just because you are a professional basketball player doesn’t mean you make millions of dollars and own multiple houses and drive around in escalades with 60 inch rims.

Before he came to kuwait he was playing in luxemburg and before that he was playing in denmark so it wasnt like he was playing in the NBA, he was playing for teams in small countries and now he is in Kuwait probably because they offered him more money or because his previous team didn’t want to sign him up again.

Whatever the case they should have put him in a clean apartment at least, i mean look at the bathroom, look at how old that thing is. I don’t think they should have put him in Hilton or some penthouse sweet but atleast in a new one bedroom apartment in a new building.

Anas your mentality is really disgusting and racist.

Anas – you are a racist – how very sad for you.

This is very sad that a visitor is treated in such an awful manner.

Living conditions for labourers are getting worse and worse by the day. Even government run shelters look better than what this guy got. I really doubt that anything will be done in the near future that such things don’t happen. Unless the country gets back on track, everything will keep crumbling down.

Anas-
There is no need for rude language- I am not insulting you so please show a lil respect for a lady.

I dont care if he is a basketball player or an astronaut- I am talking about living conditions. If you read my comment well enuf then you wud understand that. I think its sad that anyone wud have to live that way!! And who are you to judge him as a person or where he comes from? I dont know the guy and cud care less if he was an American or not- I feel sorry for anyone that has to live that way. No need to judge him by his nationality or occupation- he is a person. Would you honestly be able to live like that??

I could care less about basketball and if they can afford to buy shoes or not- its not my problem. But when people are brought in by contract you wud expect a lil more…even if they gave hima tiny studio, but at least a clean one. And its not like they are that pricy- cmon!!

I am not really into your political mumbo jumbo- I saw a video of a guy who lives in crappy conditions and commented. You need to slow your ground and stop being so rude and racist. If you want me to get started about how to improve Kuwaiti society- it wud be to start educating people like you. I am sorry that u feel like you have to insult people to get your point across- its really sad.

You need to do a lil growing up….

Anyone who loves this country and cares about Kuwait’s reputation will find this tape sad and outrageous. No visitor, irrespective of whether they are basketball stars or otherwise deserves these living conditions.

BTW Anas, your talk about ghettos etc – you are just a fucking racist, creep back into the hole hence you came from.

That sucks poor guy. Too bad kuwait is too poor and backwards to afford anything even close to having pro sports.

oh and you guys .. its not Racism .. it’s elitism .. if he had any brains in his head he wouldn’t have accepted living in that DUMP! And better yet he wouldn’t need to post a video on you tube! Did you hear what he was saying .. please !! he’s stupid! NOT BECAUSE HE’S BLACK! Because 7aram that’s just the way he is .. im not mad at him … i don’t know him personally .. im mad at the entire situation .. and i hate those LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE kind of silly people who can’t talk and stand up for themselves and ask you tube views to do it for them .. whatever

and Mark, dont JUDGE!

let’s keep an open mind here…

no justification on putting a human being on a pig pen…. whoever he is whether he can afford it or not, atleast have the decency to put a little dignity for a human being…

it’s just SAD, REALLY VERY SAD!!!!

This is not the first case nor the last, an undisclosed ministry has brought trainers from canada and put them in a worser dump. Upon closer investigation the Ministry never even visited the so-called premises, they commisioned a company who won a particular tender that supplied the appartments. This shows how much control on deliverables is made by the ministries. Irrespective whether the earnings of an individual are considered high or not, there a minimum living standard that we can accept, as for all of you commenting on this blog, if you are born with a silver spoon some people eat lead to make a living. But off course you don’t give a fuck cause all other nationalities in your opinion is born to serve you…

I wonder how he’d feel when watching all the NBA players showing off how they’re living on Mtv “Cribs” show…….
But then again, with this kinda apt… I dont think he has cable :p

Anas – you are clearly talking out of your backside. So just because someone gets paid well it is ok for you to be racist towards them!? What kinda logic do you have? You tell Mark not to judge but then judge an entire race yourself. Have a recap on what you said initially and then shut the f*** up!!

ok listen people …this is for everyone …..this vid was my friends ….as a joke cuz this place was a joke …i lived there for a short time so it was that bad ….i dont live there now im off to another country…..

now this is for the dude who talking about over priced players and contracts ….my dude who ever u are not everyone gets paid big money …if u knew what the hell u were talking about u would know that …..

now for this person anas…i dont know what this person said but when i find out ima handle it …..in the game of basketball if knew anything about …people are in certain situations that they cant get out of for the certain moment …and that life in all aspects….so watch urself….so i wll check out this comment ….

last6 and fore most the video isnt that serious and someother peeps cribs in the basketball world … thanks for ur comments good and bad ….

ok ANAS…….im not stupid thats one thing ….and u dont know me or how much i was getting paid ….this is for everyone …..NOT EVERYONE GETS PAID FUCKING MILLIONS::::….aloot of people get into certain situations that they cant get out of and try but with time every situation is resloved one way or another …..i was there for a certain period of time and then left ….the video were for friends at home to show them how funny this shit was …it was funny to me and i had video tape it ….

one more thing anas ….U DONT KNOW ME ….and u dont know how much i get paid….i swear i should smack the shit out of u……do ur reserch about fucking pro sports around the world and u would find out some are playing for free just to get their name out there….this shit isnt easy as it seems …so watch ur fucking mouth

Regardless of who the guy is – I know that if I had signed a contract to come the way over here to work (for anyone) and they provided accommodations that looked that way, I would be on the next plane back to where ever I came from. Company-provided accommodations are indicitive of the type of employers you will work for. If they can’t afford to provide decent accommodations, they won’t be able to afford to pay your salary at the end of the month either.

o i got paid and on time …but the thing is that no one knows about over seas ball its hard to get in the game and when u got an oppurtinty u got to take it…..like i said i was there for a short period of time and left it took time for me to find another team …
