Albert Einstein once said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Then I’ll say that we can’t have productive and intelligent conversations with folks if duns aren’t thinkin’ for themselves. If every time you try to have a sensible discussion about who the greatest basketball player of all-time is and boyz keep runnin’ to the Stephen A. Smith go to move of six rings and never goin’ to a Game 7 as the reason why they think Michael Jeffrey Jordan is the GOAT then we can’t get anywhere.
Now if you told me that Jordan was the GOAT because of his global influence on the game and he’s culturally taken it to places that was unheard of at the time he came into the league I’d agree. If you brought up the fact that the Jordan Brand has become a cultural phenomenon I’d absolutely agree. If you told me that he changed the way we even look at the game I’d agree.
However, if you keep tellin’ me that he’s the GOAT simply because he won 6 championships I’d fight you to the bloody end. Why? Because it makes absolutely no since because there are 12 other people in the history of the league with 6 or more championships. So what do we do with them?
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! If the criteria for bein’ the GOAT is 6 titles then we’ve got 9 Super GOATS startin’ with Bill Russell with 11. Then there’s Sam Jones who has 10, John Havlicek with 8, Tom Heinsohn has 8, K.C. Jones has 8, Tom “Satch” Sanders came up with 8, Robert Horry picked up 7 along the way, James Loscutoff has 7 and Frank Ramsey has 7. So are we goin’ to officially start callin’ them Super GOATS?
Then there are the Regular GOATS. We’ve got a dun named Scottie Pippen who won the same EXACT 6 that Mike won. What do we call him? The GOAT Part II? Then boyz wanna forget all about Kareem’s 6 and Bob Cousey’s 6.
If we’re callin’ Jordan the GOAT because he won 6. How do you look a boy in the eye with a straight face and act like none of these other cats lived on this earth and bounced a basketball? Listen people, stop runnin’ with the first foolish piece of information that you hear and start doin’ your homework and thinkin’ for yourself. Repeatin’ that foolishness only makes you look incapable of logical reasonin’. 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.
3) 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!”
