OAKLAND, CA. — After LeBron put in crazy work durin’ Game 1 of the NBA Finals finishin’ with 51 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds in an overtime loss to the Golden State Warriors. Ole boy had to fulfill his media obligations after the game. Now everybody and their baby’s momma saw JR Smith do the freakin’ unthinkable by grabbin’ a rebound with 4.7 seconds left in a tie game and sprint out to mid-court instead of puttin’ the joint back up.
You could see him on camera tellin’ LeBron that I thought we were up. EVERYBODY saw it includin’ Stevie Wonder, Louis Braille and Helen Keller. So fast forward to the post-game press conference. ESPN’s Mark Schwartz broke the No.1 rule in the art of askin’ questions. I’ve been in sales for 28 years and the No.1 rule to askin’ questions is to “Never ask a question that there is NO answer to.” Here’s the exchange between he and LeBron bruh:

Bruh….Don’t ask questions that you know the dun isn’t goin’ to answer. That’s called a stupid question!!! If he’s not goin’ to answer it you’ve just wasted his time and more importantly, you’ve wasted everybody else’s time listenin’ to that foolishness.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! I know there are duns that are askin’ the question “Why did he just tell us that he’s been in sales for 28 years?” In the field of sales you have to ask good questions to clients or potential clients in order to find out information to see if the product or service that you offer fits their needs.
So if I don’t ask good questions I don’t eat!!! Duns in the media many times can make a livin’ askin’ dumb questions because all they’re doin’ many times is askin’ questions for the sake of askin’ questions. Some cats are only lookin’ for that one time when they can catch a boy sleepin’ to get something juicy out of them.
Well playas…that juicy piece of information is only goin’ to fall out of the closet every 300 or 400 questions asked. So therefore, you’ve built a reputation of bein’ the cat that constantly asks dumb questions.
Unfortunately, you can be that guy that asks dumb questions every night and still get your work done because you’re sittin’ in a room full of people that are askin’ about 95 percent of the time, great questions. So it’s a freakin’ open book test and the teacher allows you to cheat off of the next guy’s paper. As long as you hear the quote in a public settin’ you can use it.
So often times there is no need for a dun to work on askin’ better questions because he or she is still able to eat at the end of the day. I applaud LeBron for walkin’ out of that foolishness. More players and coaches should do it. Then it would force cats to work on their interviewin’ skills. I love Gregg Popovich because he doesn’t tolerate dumb questions and I’ve interviewed him on several occassions and my sales background has kept me from gettin’ shut down by one of the very best. Stop me when I start lyin’!
Playas Thesaurus:
1) Dun: noun – the person in question, dude, guy, etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ about and its non-gender specific.
2) 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!”
