How did Doby’s early family and neighborhood shape his path to basketball?
I dropped out of college and started my professional career overseas. The police come into our practice. I get tased, I lose my eye, and I had a $155,000 restitution. If I don't pay it in 12 months, I get 20 years in prison. I'm my mama's only child. Her brothers, three of them, they average 15 kids each. So I got a huge family growing up. I was like the baby of the bunch growing up. So I hung with a lot of my older cousins. I kind of grew up fast. And I learned a lot of things through them because my dad went to prison when I was seven. So I really had no father figure. Right. Why did he go to prison? Drugs. Okay. He had two counts conspiracy, which back then each count conspiracy carried 15 years. He had a best friend that actually got caught with drugs and a brother.
And his best friend was actually an informant. that they didn't know about and they end up charging my dad with conspiracy for each one of them and sends him to 30 years in prison when i was seven years old but other than that yeah like i said my dad left when i was seven so i was actually looking at my older cousins as my father figures and i hung around them a lot and i learned a lot from them Why are you hanging out with them and what are they doing? What's the influences on? My mom worked overnight, so they was kind of my babysitters, but they still was going out and introduced me to the club life and the nightlife at an early age. Not at seven. No, not at seven. I actually started going to the club
At the age of 11. Oh, okay. Being well known in the community, nobody really questioned it. Even the ones that really knew my age, they just had respect for my family and the way that we moved, they just let it happen. Did you ever get in trouble as a kid? Well, I had two run-ins with the law as a kid, and my first one was actually on the 4th of July. And it's a tradition in our neighborhood where on the 4th of July, you know what I mean, about 20, 30 of us get together, we pick teams, and we shoot fireworks at each other. So on this particular 4th of July, we pick teams, we shoot fireworks at each other, and we shoot a firework and an innocent bystander get hit in a crossfire. okay and these are like bottle rockets uh what we call roman candles even cannons the cherry bombs all that okay whatever you got that's explosive we holding it in our hands and it's just like something that was fun to do in the neighborhood and the tradition that we did for years
right
and in sebastian ended up getting hit the young lady ended up having a third degree burn on her back oh and she caught on fire because her bra melted into her skin okay she ended up having to get surgery skin transplant and all that and I'm pretty sure she was in low-class robbery, so I'm pretty sure her insurance didn't cover it. And they needed some help. And, you know, I told you about my family. My dad was a kingpin drug dealer, so he was a millionaire in the streets. And my mom's side of the family, they was kind of wealthy, financially situated. And they said that I was the one that shot her. Like I said, it was probably about 20 or 30 of us out there doing it. Right. But they said I was the one shot her.
So the police came to my house, subpoenaed me. I ended up going to court for it. And I ended up getting on 30 days probation, juvenile time, for the situation because they said that you can't just pinpoint one person when there's a group activity. And they had no hard evidence that I was the one did it when you got 20 kids out there shooting fireworks. Right. So that was my first incident as a juvie. Second time was I was 15 years old. I was out with my cousins, female cousins at this time. And after the club, we was at the Woff House. My female cousins end up getting into a fight. I'm standing there watching and I hear a bottle bust. And I'm thinking that my cousin got hit with a bottle. So I go over there and push the crowd down.
As I push the crowd, I feel a hit in the back of my head. So I turned around and I threw a punch. And realizing it, it was the police that I had that hit.
