Back in 1989 T-Swizzle recorded a song called “Shake It Off” and the hook went like this
‘Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off”
Well playas…that’s LeBron’s theme song and has been since he took his talents to South Beach in the summer of 2010. He’s simply just been playin’ ever since. On Saturday night in Philly he surpassed Kobe Bryant’s 33,643 points on the All-Time NBA scoring list to become third in a 108-91 loss to the 76ers.
As much as boyz want to hate this dun they keep running out of ammunition. He’s now third all-time in scoring with 33,655 behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone and he’s eight all-time in assists with 9,134. There’s not another player in the history of the game that’s Top 10 in both categories. NOBODY!!! That’s means that he’s handling the rock, distributing it and shooting it all at the same time better than anyone else that’s EVER played the game.
He’s 13th in steals right now!!! So that means that by the time he’s finished playing this game he’ll probably No.1 in points scored (if he stays on this path he’ll pass Kareem in the 2021-22 season) and Top 10 in both assists and steals. He’s 50th in rebounds right now for crying out loud on a list full of bigs!!!!
Just sit back and absorb what you just read. What he’s doing to this game is incredible especially now that players are bigger, stronger and faster than they’ve EVER been. They are playing what we call now “Position-less basketball. That means that everybody’s playing everywhere regardless of size.
We’ve got bigs handling the ball and shooting the three as efficiently as guards and he’s still destroying the league. It’s NUTS!!!
I just get a kick out of seeing the haters scramble for material to come up with to keep hating on him. They’re like Trump supporters trying to tell boyz that he didn’t do anything wrong during this Impeachment Hearing.
I’ll just keep sitting in the cut listening to the foolish arguments about how this guy isn’t one of the greatest players we’ve EVER seen, if not the greatest. The ammunition is running thin playas. Why? Because all of the duns on the list ahead of him are retired. Therefore, their numbers can’t change. So he’ll continue to pass them.
In the words of the great Shawn Carter, “Men Lie, Women Lie, Numbers Don’t!” Now stop me when I start lyin’!
