That Dull Timeout

"Thanks playboy!"

Brendan Francis, the Irish poet, once said, “No yesterdays are ever wasted for those who give themselves to today.” The famous publisher and playwright, T.S. Eliot, gave it to us like this, “For last year’s words belong to last year’s language. And next year’s words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning.” Pookie and Ray Ray nem kept it real by saying, “Hey dawg, you need to get over it bruh and stop trippin’!”

The Michigan Wolverines are playing in the national championship game for the first time since the Fab Five were wearing the Maze and Blue in 1993. What’s so dull about it is that the entire Fab is in route to Atlanta to support the current team except Chris Webber who actually lives in the “A.”

Jalen Rose did a podcast on Grantland with Bill Simmons on Sunday night to make a plea for Chris to drive the freaking 15 minutes to the arena tonight. Get this, Jalen jumped on Magic’s private jet after they finished the ABC broadcast of the Lakers/Clippers joint in LA. Juwan Howard has a game with the Heat on Tuesday night so he’s making the trip and Ray Jackson and Jimmy King will meet the fellas there. But boyz gotta beg Chris to show up?

Let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! At some point you gotta grow up playboy! Who is he blaming?  HE CALLED THE DULL TIMEOUT! HE WAS THE ONE THAT GOT “CAUGHT” TAKING THE BREAD AND TRYING TO PUNK OLE BOY BY NOT PAYING HIM BACK!  HE WAS THE ONE THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WINS BEING VACATED! HE WAS THE ONE THAT CAUSED THE BANNERS TO BE TAKEN DOWN! Nobody else! So if anybody should be dull it’s the other 4 cats! Not him!

So if they have moved on then ole Chris should too. What they were able to accomplish was nothing short of remarkable and it should be celebrated. They changed the game of basketball playa. Five freshman put the swagger into the game with the baggy shorts, black socks and black sneakers bruh! Boyz always want to give Jordan the credit for that but for those of us that were grown in ’91, saw the Fab Five change the game.

What happened to Chris Webber and that team was meant to happen to them bruh. An old timer once told me, “Everything that happens is God caused or God allowed.” If you don’t believe me go read the book of Job. The devil had to get permission playboy! God could care less who won the game. However, he allowed Chris to make that mistake to become the man he is today. I'm preachin' but y'all ain't listen'! Too busy playin' in the pew and Big Momma is gonna pinch that thigh if you don't straighten up.

If they hadn’t gone through the adversity that they went through they never would have become the positive examples that they are today. Sometimes you gotta go through something to get to where you’re going.

"Who would have thought Chris would have been the dull one?"
Look at the successful careers these cats have had as a result of that dull timeout. That timeout and having to watch those banners being taken down became the motivation to become even better. Chris Webber played 15 years in the league which included becoming the Rookie of the Year and being an All-Star 5 times. Since then he has become a successful analyst for NBA TV.  Jalen put in 14 years in the league and is now a successful analyst for ESPN/ABC. Juwan is still playing! Well, he’s still puttin’ on a uniform but you understand what I’m saying pimpin’!  All because of that dull timeout!

Things happen in all of our lives along the way that are devastating but they happen for a reason. They give us the strength to become better people. That dull timeout and the banners being taken down was a part of the Fab Five’s lot in life and if that’s as bad as it gets then it is what it is. However, that dull timeout is the reason why Chris Webber SHOULD be in the building tonight to cheer on the Maze & Blue!

Gotta give Jalen mad props for puttin' that boy on blast! I just pushed him out in traffic. However, ole Jalen needs to stop lyin' to us about not having beef with Chris cuz if he was your boy you wouldn't have put him on blast. Since ALL hoods in America are the same and they both grew up in one. You can almost guarantee Chris won't be there tonight because Jalen just disrespected him by violating the code.

Holla At Ya Boy!
