Singin' & Dancin'

"Turn up the music playboy!"

The French poet, Anatole France, once said, “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.” Harry S. Truman kept it real when he said, “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” Mark Twain standing around with the fellas broke this down, “There are two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. This first group is less crowded.”

Yeah, ole Mark was right! We started two weeks ago with 68 duns with aspirations of cutting down the nets and now there are two, the Louisville Cardinals and the Michigan Wolverines! On some real talk, 68 cats showed up but only about 10 of them actually expected to get to Atlanta playboy.

Sports are no different than real life because you’ve got boyz always talking about being great but their actions say just the opposite. An old timer told me once, “Son, the way you do anything is the way you do everything.” How many  teams were just happy to get into the big dance? Boyz that were celebrating to get in weren’t looking to win a national championship! They had already accomplished what they had set out to do. Dance!

It’s like the cat that talks about hooking up with the successful bad chick but all he really wants to do is stand next to her so boyz can think he’s with her. Why? Because it’s easier to look like the man than to be the man!

"Thank's for lookin' out!"

Gotta give mad props to Wichita State for not being satisfied with the music playing or standing next to the bad chick. They had Louisville discombobulated leaning on the ropes with their mouth pieces hanging and couldn’t finish them off. Instead of continuing to jab, they kept going for the knockout punch and let them regain their composer to pull the joint off 72-68.  The Ville had boyz holding Mint Juleps nervous last night bruh! After a couple standing 8-counts they finally pulled it off and Tupac and his boyz weren't fighting in the lobby afterwards either.

The young Michigan Wolverines let the world know that they were more than, “Trey and the Burketts!” With Trey only putting up 7 points on 1 of 8 shooting they still attacked the Syracuse zone like grown men to advance to the national title game on Monday night with a 61-56 win.

Ole boy Mitch McGary has gone from being a stage hand on the tour to singing solos and carrying boyz. This dun has only started the last 5 games and now he’s playing like a lottery pick! While you’re playin’, this cat is about to get drafted off of 6 games! Stop me when I start lyin’!

I was happy to see my homeboy Glenn Robinson’s son, Glenn III, do what his daddy couldn’t do and that’s not only make it to the Final Four but advance to the national title game.  The home team is pulling for yet another player from the G or should I say a player with G roots to do great things. His daddy was rich so the hood and everything connected to it is his godfather! He’s got an honorary ghetto pass on his daddy’s strength, 2-5 for life playa!

Don’t get too comfortable Cardinal and Wolverine fans because this joint is going to be a battle. So enjoy the festivities and trash talk today because tomorrow everybody’s gotta go to their respective corners and wait for the bell! In my Michael Buffer voice, “LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!”

Holla At Ya Boy!
