Selfie (Why somebody must have stepped to Roy Hibbert about calling boyz out)

"Are you duns all in tonight or what bruh?"

I stopped by Kenny’s on my way to the Bankers Life Fieldhouse to get some fire ribs tips and the duns on the grill started schooling these young boyz on adversity. Walt Disney said, “All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” Then John Wooden turned the meat over and said, “Adversity is the state in which man most easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.”

Well the Indiana Pacers became extremely acquainted with themselves on a three game skid that finally ended on Wednesday night with a 101-94 win over Detroit. For what seemed like two weeks these duns were on a Chevy Chase family vacation in a dull minivan with the transmission sticking. The exhaust was smoking like they were barbequing and boyz were arguing over who was gonna drive.

After gettin’ the brakes beat off of them on Monday by the Spurs they pulled over on the side of the road and figured it out. Well on some real talk, I had them all banned from Latitude 38, the Sunset and where ever else I thought they might try to hang out. Don’t let any of these duns into your establishment until they figure out who they really are and what they’re here to accomplish.

The ban must have worked because they traded in the minivan on Wednesday and pulled up in various types of SUV’s all bumpin’ that DJ Khaled “All I Do Is Win” joint and went straight to work.

For the first time in weeks they looked like they were having fun and ole Lance even took boyz to the Rucker and dropped off.

All five starters were in double figures led by Paul George with 27 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists. Now I had to take that dun’s cell phone too because you know he can get reckless on Facebook etc. He’s on the JayGravesReport “No Selfie” ban until after his career is over. We don’t need to see him on the internet ever again unless its basketball related. Do you hear me?

David West hit ‘em up for 15, George Hill was good for 12 and both Lance The Don DaDa Mr. #BornReady himself and ole dull car sittin’ Roy Hibbert put 11 apiece in the kitty. Now Roy still had one foot in the ride because he only finished with 3 freakin’ rebounds but I’ll give him a pass today because they at least won the game.

The elephant in the room changes colors every week. This week he’s pink with green spots but seemed to mind his manners because it didn’t fart or belch as the Pacers only turned the rock over 10 times. As a team they had 24 assists so ole dull Roy couldn’t light weight call boyz out for being selfish.

Let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! When times get rough you can’t afford to pull a Kobe and start calling cats out on the team in the media. A real playa steps to a boy when the cameras are off and says what’s up like a G. That was foul balls anyway you look at it on Roy’s part earlier this week.

Here’s my Kobe fan screamin’ from the roof tops, “The Black Mamba has 5 rings bruh! He can call a boy out any time he wants!” Really? Let me take you to school playboy. Sure, he has 5 rings but he didn’t win any of those joints calling boyz out in the media. How do I know? Because he won all 5 of those joints playing for Phil and the Zen Master didn’t play that. All of the foolishness that you’ve ever seen from Kobe came from him when he was playing for coaches other than Phil. You do realize that he’s played for eight other cats in LA right?

Maybe he was calling boyz out under duns like Del Harris, Bill Bertka or Kurt Rambis. Or maybe you heard him actin’ a fool under Rudy Tomjanovich, Frank Hamblen or ole dull Mike Brown. Maybe it was with Bernie Bickerstaff or was it just with Mike D’Antoni because it sure in the heck wasn’t under Phil playboy. And that’s the edited version. Now how are you a Kobe fan and didn’t realize that he played for all of those cats? Because you ain’t really a Kobe fan you just like to talk. This ain’t some cat in the barber shop that’s just blurting for the sake of blurting playa. I know the history of the game playa, so you might wanna pull a Snoop Dogg right here and back up and sit yo cup down.

If the Pacers are going to be successful going forward duns like Hibbert can’t take shots at cats in the media. That’s a punk move and you already know that the real G’s in the locker room stepped to him on that. Do I know that to be a fact? I have no proof of it. Well how do you know Jay? Because I grew up in the hood and you can’t sideways call a boy out without him steppin’ to you about it. Just because these dudes are in the NBA doesn’t mean they aren’t real cats that think like you and I. If anybody in that locker room grew up in ANY HOOD, USA somebody got in Roy’s grip before he got his t-shirt on good Wednesday night.

How do I know? Because the team's chemistry was great last night. Once a boy puts the beef on the table or grab a collar or two it's all good. Now they can play together like they're supposed to.

If you’re gonna be a G then be a G! Don’t hide behind the mic like the Wizard of Oz! Come out from behind the curtain so we can talk about it or let’s move some furniture around and it had to happen. That's Rule 7 Article 5 of the Hood Code of Conduct bruh.

Are the Pacers finally back on track? We’ll see on Friday night in Toronto. Keep in mind that my ban for these duns applies in Canada too! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!
