Confucius says, “The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential…these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.” Napoleon Hill, one of the earliest producers of the modern genre of personal-success, stood up and said, “Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.” Then my man Bill Cosby shut the building down with, “In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.”
I hope all of you Chicago Bulls fans have been paying attention to boyz like Adrian Peterson, Darrelle Revis and RGIII when you start making excuses for ya boy Derrick Rose. The difference between all of those cats and Rose is desire. RGIII especially, has been in a battle with Mike Shanahan just to play preseason games bruh.
Not regular season games! Not games that count! We talkin’ bout… preseason games! Not the games, not the games that I love. But preseason games! Excuse me bruh, I had an Allen Iverson flashback there for a minute. Now on some real talk, no way should Shanahan have McDodo Braids on the field during the preseason. It makes no sense at all to take a chance on injury in games that don’t count. However, if by week 1 this dun is still chompin’ at the bit and the doctors say that he’s good then let him loose.
It was shameful to see Derrick Rose just sit and watch his team battle from February, when he was cleared, until their gallant playoff exit against the Heat and that dun seemed not to care. He should have at least had the desire to play 5 to 10 minutes a night to get back into the groove and then by playoff time he would have been in shape and ready to go or not. At least his desire would have shown up and told the world that he was a competitor.
I think that if "DoDo" is going to play week 1 against Philly that he shouldn’t take unnecessary chances on the field. The direction should be to throw that joint away if nothing is open. Don’t try to make something happen with your feet. Don’t get into traffic if you can help it and run out of bounce whenever possible at least until you're comfortable.
Ima keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! I’ve got no respect for a cat that says, “I’m not mentally ready to play yet.” That is the weakest line EVER spoken in the world of sports at any level playa. I don’t care if a guy is ready or not but he should always have the desire to play and Derrick Rose proved to the world that he didn’t. I would even give RGIII, A.D. and Revis a pass for not wanting to jump the gun because not only do they play an extremely dangerous contact sport but the bread isn’t guaranteed at all. So if they come back, get hurt and end their careers they’re Prince purple pants butt out.
D. Rose’s money is guaranteed and he just signed a $95 million joint with the Bulls in November of 2011 and a $200 million joint with Adidas in February of 2012. Did you hear me say that all of it was guaranteed? Well, let me say it again, "it’s all guaranteed playboy!" That means for all you slow thinkin’ individuals out there, he’s got nothing to lose by playing. So his ends are meetin’ like the Browns and those dull patent leather shoes. The only reason boyz don’t take chances in professional sports is because of their fear of getting hurt before that major contract is signed. Once they get the bread it’s time to ball out and ole boy never even tried. Either he has no heart or he has no heart because he can't stand up to his brother that's really calling the shots.
Understand this playa, DNA has allowed Derrick Rose to become D. Rose up to this point. He got out of the bed better than 99% of cats breathing. Now desire will have to take him from this point forward. If you don't possess it, you don't possess it. They don't sell it at Wal-Mart or at the vitamin store bruh, either it's locked into your DNA or it's not. Some cats get the combo meal that includes talent, desire and a drink and some get either/or without the drink.
So I’m giving the man with the terrible hair cut major props for even wanting to play in the preseason because he showed the world that he at least has the desire to play. I’m still looking at hittin’ is crib like the Fed’s at about 4AM to tie him up and cut his hair though. Big Momma has been cursing about it since he immortalized his Heisman Trophy photo with those joints. I’m tired of listening to her hollering every time he’s on TV.
Y’all know I’m tellin’ the truth because your Big Momma, Nana, Grammy, Mamo, Mema or whatever you call her is cursing too. “I don’t know why that boy won’t do something with his hair? He got too much money to be walking around lookin' like that!” She would be cool if they were corn rows or dreads but this dun is rockin’ plats! Plats bruh! They stopped wearing plats in '74 even in the country pimpin'! All jokes aside, I still have tall respect for him because of his extreme desire to get back on the field and lead his team. I'm preachin but y'all sleepin' in the pews and Big Momma is gonna pinch that thigh in a minute!
Holla At Ya Boy!
