Sam Hurd Vs. The Wire and Breaking Bad Pt. 2

You can check out numbers 30-16 here if you haven’t already, but in honor of Sam Hurd here are the top 15 coolest/best drug players from The Wire and Breaking Bad.  Again spoilers all over the place so beware.

#15) Don Eladio, Breaking Bad- Don Eladio really didn’t appear that often in Breaking Bad, so admittedly a lot his ranking is due to Steven Bauer’s role in Scarface.  But in Breaking Bad, Don Eladio ran shit.  He owned a lot of land and had a lot of money.

Sam Hurd Vs. The Wire and Breaking Bad Pt. 1

            Sam Hurd was arrested on ridiculous drug charges and it became clear he was a high-level drug player in Chicago.  Shockingly, Hurd, (a wide-receiver in the NFL!!!!!), was as influential in the drug game as some fictional characters.  In honor of Sam Hurd, this article will rank the drug players from two terrific shows, The Wire and Breaking Bad.  There are some characters who aren’t on the list, either because they aren’t directly involved in the drug dealing (Saul Goodman/Omar) or because I just don’t like them.  The rankings are a mix of each character’s rank in their respective drug trade along with how boss they are.  If you think I left someone off the list or you think I ranked someone too low let me know in the comment section.  Warning: There are spoilers abound so if you haven’t finished one of the series, bookmark this page and read it when you finish.
