George Baernard Shaw once said, “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” Nelson Mandela broke it down like this, “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” Then Francis of Assisi poured out a lil’ liquor for all the dead homies when he spit this, “Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
Well playas…LeBron James started out doin’ what was necessary and that was leadin’ a bunch of cats that weren’t worthy of playin’ for a championship to the Finals. Then he did what was possible for him and that was to put every last one of those cats on his back and still be able to play the game for 48 minutes! And suddenly he’d done the impossible by goin’ into Boston and beatin’ a team that was undefeated at home durin’ this postseason.
Yeah, I heard all of the haters after the ball game on Sunday night screamin’ foul because neither Kyrie nor Gordon Hayward played in this series. Nether one of them played the entire playoffs bruh. Hayward played 5 minutes the entire season. What are you talkin’ about?
Boyz were hollerin’ that the NBA is rigged because the refs were cheatin’ etc. Look here bruh, I’ve been tellin’ you cats that that Philistine is the best all-around basketball player we’ve EVER seen for the past 6 seasons but you’ve refused to listen. So he keeps doin’ the impossible right before your eyes and you’re still keep fightin’ it.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! If you take him off of that team they don’t win 25 games! As a matter of fact, he’s essentially taken two teams to the playoffs this year. The first band of bandits were a hot mess and he still managed to keep them within’ the top 3 or 4 spots the first half of the season. Then they traded half of the darn team away and he’s taken these cats to the NBA Finals!!! Not to the playoffs bruh! To the FINALS!!!!
It’s common knowledge that the best T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Achieves More) always wins a 7 game series. ALWAYS!! Why? Because they’ve got to win four games to advance. The best team always wins in that format so there are no surprises. The NBA is the only sport that the casual fan can predict who will win the championship. Who’s the best team? Give me that one.
Well let me put it where the goats can get it. The Pacers were clearly the best team in Round 1. The dun took them to a Game 7 and beat them butt naked with not an ounce of help. He swept the best team in the East like Big Momma cleanin’ the kitchen after a Soul Food Sunday. Then he walks into Boston’s TD Garden where they were 10-0 this postseason for a Game 7. Pulled every stitch of his clothes off and showed every squared inch of his, like my momma used to say, “Bare Bottom” on these boyz while puttin’ up 35 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists in 48 minutes to lead the Cavs past the Young Thunder Cats and the Wizard coachin’ them.
He’s defyin’ all logic and have been for years. Y’all saw the dun take Cleveland to the Finals in 2015 with both Kyrie and Kevin Love injured but you refused to think logically. All you wanted to see was him lose and it was clear the dun shouldn’t have even been there. Y’all saw him show up the followin’ year and beat some cat that had just won 73 games that had him down 3-1.
You’ve seen him take CLEVELAND, not the Lakers or the Celtics, to the Finals three and now four consecutive years. CLEVELAND bruh!!! Let that marinate!!! I can remember all of these cats on ESPN tellin’ boyz when he first decided to go back to the crib that if he wins a championship in Cleveland that it would be worth two titles. Then he wins the title and boyz changed the narrative by sayin’ “Naw playa, he’s got to beat Golden State with KD in order to become the GOAT.” This is the foolishness that we’re listenin’ to.
Instead of lookin’ at his body of work and what he’s doin’ as a basketball player with the teams that he’s actually playin’ on to determine just how good he really is. They keep lookin’ at what he’s doin’ in the Finals on mediocre teams that he’s draggin’ into the Finals.
When Mike had no help he couldn’t get out of the first round of the playoffs! It wasn’t until MJ got Scottie and Phil that he even sniffed a Finals and by the time he started goin’ to Finals he was ALWAYS on the best TEAM. He always had a dead eye shooter in BJ Armstrong, Craig Hodges, John Paxson and Steve Kerr. He walked in with a beast and bully like Horace Grant and eventually the best bully and rebounder in the game at the time Dennis Rodman. Then he had the best coachin’ staff in the business with Phil and Co.
Mike wasn’t winnin’ with bums! When Jordan had bums he was scorin’ a ton of points and losin’ e.i. 63 points in the Garden in 1986. That was a first round loss not a conference finals loss. If he were so good why was he playin’ Boston in the first round? Why wasn’t he playin’ them in the conference finals? The East was terrible at the time because the Bulls made the playoffs winnin’ 30 games!! Nobody makes the playoffs winnin’ 30 games now bruh.
Do you realize that Jordan was 1-9 in the playoffs until Scottie showed up. With bums he was terrible in the postseason. With bums just four years into the league at just 22 years old LeBron took his bums to the Finals. Yes he loss but he was there. Mike was still tryin’ to get out of the first round at 22.
This man has gone to eight straight Finals and the only one that he shouldn’t have loss was when Miami fell to Dallas. All of the others that he loss he was supposed to lose. He wasn’t on the best team!!! Just like he’s supposed to lose this year because he’s showin’ up with a car full of bums relatively speakin’. All NBA players can play but not all of them are worthy of playin’ in the Finals.
So when he loses the haters will say, “See I told you he’s not the GOAT because he loss again in the Finals!” You sound crazy!! He’s not supposed to even be there but he is.
We’ve never seen a player play every position on the floor every night for 15 years. We saw Magic do it once in Game 6 in Philly in 1980 as he scored 42 points to win the title when Kareeem was hurt. This dun does it EVERY night and guards all five too.
He’s the only person in the history of the game that’s top 10 in scorin’ and top 15 in assists. He’s currently ranked 7th in scorin’ and 11th in assists. The dun is even ranked 59th all-time in rebounds and lets not even talk about his playoff numbers.
But besides the numbers and stats that do count, watch the darn games!! He’s been doin’ the impossible in these playoffs every year and all boyz can find to do is to hate on him. Let me give you some perspective here bruh. He won a championship with both JR Smith and Iman Shumpert. The Knicks put both of them into a car and traded them together for a second round pick in 2019.
That means that they traded them for a cat that was in the 8th grade at the time that wasn’t the freakin’ man either. Think about that for a minute. That’s who he relied on to win a title in 2016. He’s still relyin’ in JR now but you’re sittin’ around waitin’ on him to lose to either Golden State or Houston? Really bruh? Stop me when I start lyin!

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!”
