On Monday afternoon boyz were talkin’ about how LeBron’s luck couldn’t get any worse when Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue announced that he was steppin’ aside temporarily to take care of some health issues. Cleveland was already the third seed in the East and now they’ve got no head coach.
The first thing I thought was, LeBron’s the coach on the floor bruh. He’s the new age Bill Russell player coach. Heck, he’s been coachin’ every team he’s ever been on so what changes with Lue takin’ a break. I wish the best for him but as long as LeBron’s on the floor the Cavs have a shot at winnin’. Why? Because he’s the best player in the world and it ain’t even close even at 33 years old.
So the Greek Freak, Giannis Antetokounmpo, shows up in Cleveland on Monday night and puts up and astoundin’ 37 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists in their 124-117 lose to the Cavs. On a normal night that would have been enough to walk out of the joint with the “W” but LeBron was on the floor.
Ole boy got in the shower with 40 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds. In other words, the 40-point triple double!!! He became the third oldest cat in the history of the NBA at 33 years and 79 days old to ever put up a 40-point triple double. The others were Elgin Baylor at 34 years, 48 days and Larry Bird at 35 years, 99 days accordin’ to ESPN Stats & Information research.
He’s only the fifth player in history to record five 40-point triple doubles accordin’ to the Elias Sports Bureau research and he did it on the same day he was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week for a record 60th time. That’s NUTS!!!
Boyz can hate on this cat all they want to but he keeps goin’ to work every night showin’ these young thunder cats who the boss is. Stop me when I start lyin’!
Playas Thesaurus:
1) Ole boy: noun – the person that I’m currently talkin’ about.
The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
