Sports Illustrated - "In New Orleans, Alvin Kamara Can Feel the Vibe"

"After years of being underappreciated, undervalued and underutilized, Kamara has finally found what he has long been searching for. A home. An ideal fit, both in football and in life. A scheme that accentuates his skills, a coach who maximizes his abilities, a team and a city that allow him to be him—bull nose ring, gold grill, dreadlocks and all."
"Eventually he hopes to sit at every great restaurant in the city. He knows this might take years to accomplish, but he’s in no rush. He plans to be here for a while."
"He had no desire to make an outlandish purchase after he was drafted, because there was nothing he wanted. “I got my signing bonus and I put that s--- in the bank and I went and got some motherf---ing wings,” he says. That is Kamara."

At around 10 p.m., gold grill still in his mouth, he heads to Chicken & Watermelon, a counter-service wings dive. “I’m finna take you to the hood,” he announces, saying that’s where the best food is. Not to mention the daquiri shack next door, where the drinks are strong and the DJ is spinning Juvenile. “I gotta get some food in me before I do some crazy s--- tonight,” Kamara says, before ordering 100 BBQ and lemon pepper wings and several colorful daiquiris for the group. He daps up the group of men standing in a circle outside the front door, smoking cigarettes and passing blunts. “Your real n---- points out the roof right now,” one man says to the Saints player just hanging in the hood with the real New Orleanians. As he leaves, there’s a loud bang somewhere in the distance. “That one was a gunshot,” Kamara notes.
At 11 p.m., Kamara is shirtless in his kitchen, drinking Cupcake white wine straight out of the bottle. His mom calls. “I’m bout to get f---ed up,” he tells her. “Bout to get turnt.” He opens a drawer and pulls out a stack of $1 bills. “Left over from the strip club,” he says, being unapologetically Alvin Kamara, the best rookie in the NFL, organic, authentic, distinctly himself.
At 1 a.m., he piles into an eight-seat Mercedes Sprinter to fit his 13-person crew and heads to the club. The van pulls up to the front, and Kamara leads the way inside, turning around frequently to make sure everyone gets through the velvet ropes. He weaves through the crowd, frequently being stopped for pictures and well wishes, arriving in his section at 2 a.m. But within minutes he leaves the club, abruptly.

one of the best Saint Quotes I can think of
This guy is out of this world.
What NFL RB has 30 yard route/back shoulder throws in their repertoire?

This dude was meant for New Orleans.

On Claiborne. Pass by all the time but have never had the balls to walk in

Was just about to post this earlier. Great article on a very talented and humble young man. I'm SO glad Kamara fell to us because it seems to be such a perfect fit scheme-wise, and New Orleans seems to be a perfect home to him vibe-wise. Here's to hoping he'll be here for a while

Great article.
AK41 is a beast, and some likes he has his head on straight. He is such a perfect fit for the city, and that should go a long way to keeping him focused/happy/good vibes, which should keep his productivity up.

Yeah. This is a great story, but what's Cowherd's line? "Nothing good happens after midnight."
Have fun, but please keep out of trouble, Alvin.

Man use to get the best wings on Orleans and Claiborne. And hood punch. Red arse fruity sugar water. Eat'em in the car right under the interstate

Love that he's enjoying life
Just hope he stays out of trouble
