Right there he looks like Michio Grubbs sans moustache, who was also half Japanese.

Interesting discussion....but you're comparing apples and oranges.

not really...given there is only a 4 yr or so difference in age and both had early sponsorships from bbing. magazine dont pay crap...just exposure which they both received. the big differece is flex getting prize money and stan with a training business

Flex CLEARLY wasn't business minded. I think for him hanging out with Dre, partying with him, being apart of that scene was the intention rather than capitializing off of the connections.

well...flex is the 1st in the gym with dre. i'm not sure what he was thinking when dre was saying...i'm trying to get in shape...man. stan picks up dre after flex's retirement. their relationship is well after 2000.

Flex was late 20's early 30's when he peaked and was actually making good money from BB'ing. He just foolishly spent it all.

again...this has nothing to do with dre and training, is after flex's competitive days.

I don't know much about Stan but I DOUBT he was making his main income off of BB'ing.

sponsorship, magazines (not much money there...just exposure) and training/hlth business which all come from bbing. he has said it on video. he is actually doing gym ownership and some other stuff like real estate now

again...the dre window is after flex's hay day. it's too bad. flex has the brand and the training background via glass in venice as parker said...so he could be doing nicely vs hustling efx for a check and MD as an interviewer vs Shawn who just does the job better...and you can see flex is just hanging on and trying.

All Flex got was a a spot in Boss' video, and a visit from Dre while he was in the hospital. Obviously Flex wasn't thinking or didn't see the cache of being involved with the West Coast hip hop scene. Especially now since image is everything. To be truthful, Flex had a more promising bbing career than Stan ever will, so Stan had to do other ventures.

But, with Flex's genetics and image, he could have made connections on both coasts within the Hip Hop world, missed opportunity.

Yes but Stan's physique is much healthier than Flex's ever was. Stan will probably hold on to his look for decades to come while Flex is still resorting to massive amounts of oil just to look like he even touches a weight. $:-\$
