Dead-Set Ledge Status:
Assured! Unrepentant gunners are the goddamn greatest, and Larry Hughes was as unrepentant about gunning as Jules Winfield was about topping Brett in ‘Pulp Fiction’. Dude even played in Ice Cube’s Big 3 league and everyone was like ‘man, this dude is shooting too much’. Still – Larry Hughes is a dead-set ledge
