This Ryan is without a doubt a dumb piece of shit. Sounds like just another illiterate brother from the hood. Wake up and realize that your hero 530 is just another illiterate loser. He had someone else write the book for him and it still sounds like it was written by someone in the 5th grade. Come on now?

yo shut the fu** up. ER ur a dumb piece of sh**. How the hell is he supposed to have money in college when he had financial aid and gave it to other people in need of it? Don’t talk because Steph said he would pay the bill and he never picked it up. So he is not a theif. Ur just a dumb and go kill yourself…

I was a trainer who worked with Jamel Thomas before the draft. He screwed me out of $10,000 and he never paid me for my services. he also screwed his former agent. The reason that he didn’t get in to the NBA is because he is a low class individual who rips off other people. He blackballed himself. He should not blame Stephon Marbury. I passed the word around the league to Alonzo Mourning and many others that this guy is no good and would bring shame on any team that he was part of. As far as The Beautiful Struggle is concerned, he is the perfect role model of a user and a thief to young people. He got what he deserved.

I would like to respond to this last posting from Theresa Brunner. I am not surprised at this peace of **** and his ***** skank wife. He has taken money from so many people and screwed them over. Jamel Thomas is the biggest loser and he dares to dump on Steph. Jamel is a thief and a user who hasn’t given anything back to the community. If I were Theresa Brunner I would report thsi to the police and put this bad ass in jail where he can write books to torture the world.

Just wanted somewhere to post that I have not read the book, but I am glad he has money to do things like this. I am a wedding planner in the Caribbean where he and his wife married but never paid. Not sure if this is his style but I would appreciate him and the new wife contact me to settle their debt. Married June 24th and bounced a cheque and credit card declined. They need to take care of this. I try to believe the good in people as well but this was out of order.

I’ve read this book & respect Jamel for keeping it real! Yo he went through a lot of struggles ever since he lost his mom at 4yrs old. The whole time he grew up in C.I. I’ve never known him to be a fake dude like Steph & Sebastian. Jamel doesn’t worship money, jewelry & cars like they do so he’s definitely the one who’s down to earth. I understand some things in the book may embarrass some of his fam, but he’s just telling us his true life story. I feel real sad for this family since fame, money & ignorance has ruined their relationships! The book is not perfect, but it’s cool that he got their other cousin Corey Johnson from “The Last Shot” book who had dreams of being a Writer to help him. The bottom line is that FAMILY is supposed to up-lift each other no matter what differences they have. I understand you Jamel so thanks for being brave enough to reveal the truth to the world!

I grew up with Jamel. Jamel is a great friend and family man. He takes care of his friends and family and never forgets his roots even though he is cashing coin in Europe.

Jamel is The Truth.

This Jamel is really really jealous of Steph. He blame Steph for not making it in the league. Truth is he is too stooopid to play NBA ball, and he d rather blame the stars than face the reality he ain’t one and won’t ever be one.

Jamel was my sister’s boy. When she died I adopted him. He don’t know that his mother was sick in the head and he has inherited the same problem. He is a very dark person who believes the worse about others. His book is written to say what he should have been tellin people all along. I believe that he is a coward to write these lies about his family. He should be ashamed of hisself.

I am a relative and i know Jamel is a stupid, jealous fool who has never been able to help himself. He writes about being a role model for others. This dumnbass can’t even help himself. He needs to see a shrink
