Young Thunder Cat (How Marcus Smart screwed his teammates & coaches)

"Dang bruh! I wish I could get that one back!"

William James, the 19^th century philosopher and psychologist, once said, “Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.” Confucius says, “When anger rises, think of the consequences.” Then Robert Louis Stevenson, the 19^th century Scottish poet, got boyz attention with, “Everybody, soon or late, sits down to a banquet of consequences.”

Well ole Marcus Smart sat down sooner rather than later to a table full of those joints on Sunday a day after shoving a Texas Tech fan during a loss in Lubbock on Saturday. He was suspended for the next three games for his actions. He’ll miss the Texas, Oklahoma and Baylor games.

What blew my mind on Sunday was the amount of duns on social media that were caught up in what the fan said as opposed to what Smart did in response to what was said. Was the fan dead wrong and needed his butt whooped for saying whatever he said? Absolutely! Should his season tickets be revoked? You darn right! And that’s the edited version playboy.

However, the entire sports world isn’t talking about the fan today, they’re talking about Marcus Smart. The fan isn’t trying to get drafted bruh! He isn’t trying to improve his game either. He isn’t even trying to make the NCAA tournament. The fan isn’t trying to put himself into a position to make easy money with endorsements down the line but Marcus Smart is.

In my Big Momma voice, "Marcus better take care of Marcus before Marcus get's himself into a lot of trouble."

So whatever ole boy said wasn’t worth being suspended for the next three games and having to deal with the embarrassment of the last couple of days. All of these young thunder cats that I’ve talked to since the incident have completely been focused on what the fan said like that was more important.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! That ain’t the first nor the last time ole Marcus is gonna run into some racist cat during the course of his lifetime. Let me put something on ya head playboy. You can’t jump bad every time some cat says something crazy to you. Otherwise, you’re gonna be fighting everyday of your life and nobody is gonna want to fool with you if you can't control your freakin' emotions. Like I told you in the Hot Joint entitled, “The Wish Factor” on yesterday Big Momma always said, “The penitentiary and cemetery is full of cats that didn’t want to be disrespected.”

I guess I can throw in the unemployment line too. We all know the fool that can't keep a job because every time somebody pisses them off they're ready to fight. Well good luck with that playa. Is it comfortable down at the mission bruh? And guess what? Somebody is gonna piss you off down there too.

Think about this pimpin’! Oklahoma State has lost 5 of 6 games and now four straight! Smart is the whole freakin’ team playboy and with him being out for the next three they’re sure to lose those. So by the time he comes back there’s the real potential of them having lost seven straight. Not to mention that they still have No.8 Kansas and No.16 Iowa State still on the schedule. Can you say, “Oklahoma State's not making the NCAA Tournament this year playboy?”

In hindsight, stepping to ole boy and shoving him wasn’t really worth it now was it? Not only did he screw himself but he screwed his entire team, coaches and the program. Also every time they bring up the name Marcus Smart during the pre-draft conversation guess what tape they’re going to show playa? Not the joints of him ballin’ these boyz out here but the joint of him pushing some old fart that means absolutely nothing to him.

Listen up all of you young thunder cats! If you’ve got aspirations of being great at anything you’re going to run into some haters on your way to the top. The key is to not let them keep you from accomplishing your goals. If they know that by saying something crazy to or about you will derail you, they’re coming at you every time. It's a set up bruh! Keep your eyes open for it.

Now on some real talk let me ask you, was pushing ole boy worth the consequences regardless of what was said? At the very least playboy you gotta live up to your last name! I’m just sayin’ and stop me when I start lyin'!

Holla At Ya Boy!
