Tom Foolery

"Tell ya boy Reggie to keep my name out of his mouth!"

The famous French writer of the 1600’s, Francois de la Rochefoucauld, once said, “The intellect is always fooled by the heart.” Big Momma said it this way, “Baby, your eyes are way bigger than your stomach.” The old Italians used to say, "If you gone talk the talk! You gotta walk the walk." The playas in the hood simply broke it down like this, “Don’t write checks your butt can’t cash pimpin’!”

Well, ole Reggie Evans learned the hard way on Wednesday night as LeBron James and the Miami Heat came through the Barclays Center and rocked the joint like Jay-Z beatin’ the brakes off of the Brooklyn Nets 105-85. The Heat have beaten these cats 3 times this year by a combined 63 points. What was so crazy was that Reggie Evans of the Nets was talkin’ trash to LeBron in the media before the game! “Who?” Some dun named Reggie from Pensacola. “Ruthy Mae’s baby boy?” I guess! “Oh that clears that up huh?” SMH

This clown told the Daily News that he wasn’t impressed with the Heat winning the NBA championship because it was a lockout season. We went on to say and I quote, "Our team is defending the Miami Heat. If our team has to defend one person, LeBron isn't going to score nothing. LeBron is no different from Joe Johnson or Andray Blatche. No different.”

So LeBron went out and hit ‘em up like Tupac for 24-9-7 as he’s gone 17-0 verses the Nets after starting his career 6-10 against them. He’s scored 20 points in the last 20 games against these clowns and you’ve got a scrub talking noise to the best player on the planet? Wheredeydodatat?

 It would be different if it were Kobe or Durant talking. At least you would say, “Well LeBron better bring his B+ game tonight!" But cats that can get down already know how hard it is to win a title and they already know that LeBron ain’t no joke! So that won’t EVER happen and Kobe’s got 5 rings! It's called RESPECT or around my way, "Game Recognizing Game!"

See ole Reg was sitting around with all of his homeboys that he’s currently sponsoring because he’s the only one that made it out. You know the drill. Now the whole crew is living better off of him in the Big Apple. You know these duns were sittin’ up smoking weed, playing video games and a boy just hollered out, “LeBron ain’t nothin’! You can take him son! (Boyz have picked up a little NY lingo now.) He a man just like you Reg!”, and there it was! He showed up, gased up and a boy threw a mic in his face and he drowned.

Let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! How do you talk crazy to a boy and not score a single point in the game you're hyped up about? How do you even fix your mouth to woof when you’re averaging 3.2 points per game, .5 assists, .09 blocks and .82 steals? Those ain’t even whole numbers playboy! It should be illegal to be in the stat column with fractions! I say David Stern should fine this dun for impersonating a professional basketball player.

To get .5 steals is like you stole the joint and then felt bad about it and gave it back. How do they even record .09 blocks playa? That’s like saying you thought about blocking it, then on the way up you changed your mind and just waived. How does this dun even get to travel with the team with .82 steals? It’s like you tried to steal the little old lady’s purse and she Rodney King’d you with her cane until the police showed up.

Let this be a lesson to all the cats that are simply lucky to be in the league! See everybody in the NBA can ball. The difference is that superstars like LeBron, Kobe and Durant can ball with somebody talkin’ trash and guarding them. See this Reggie character thought he was going down to the Rucker to play LaBrandon James that has a shoe deal with Zips instead of LeBron James, King James if ya nasty! LeBron may as well have pulled a fake rat out of his pocket because that dun disappeared at the tip! Now go head on with that Tom Foolery.

Holla At Ya Boy!
