or Uncles

SOME kinda strong male figure who can get you in line when you start acting soft

cuz he does so much in the "bruh, for real?" lane its pitiful

and he CRAVES validation way too much

constantly swinging between "is *this* good enough for you to love me" and a weird, false, and petulant "I don't need you to like me, I like me"

so talented basketball wise, but so in need of some "get right"
