Gifts (Why Anthony Davis has no more excuses for cancellin' dental appointments bruh)

"Yo Doc! I'll take the Ron Isley joint!"

Emily Oster, the well-known economist, once said, “The key to good decision making is evaluating the available information – the data – and combining it with your own estimates of pluses and minuses.” Plato jumped out of the whip with the music still bumpin’ and said, “A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers.” Then General George S. Patton shut the joint down with, “The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That’s the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead.”

Well playas…the New Orleans Pelicans collected all of the facts and fears and made a serious decision to swoop Anthony Davis up for the next 6 years. They jumped out ahead of the new TV deals that will change NBA salary caps in 2016. Most cats like LeBron have been signin’ one year deals over the past year or so in anticipation of that deal because boyz are lookin’ to get PAAAAID next year!

When the free agency period started at midnight this mornin’ the duns in the Pelicans front office wasn’t playin’ and weren’t goin’ to wait until 2016 to back the Brinks truck up to Anthony Davis’ crib to unload that joint. So they agreed this mornin’ to a 5 year extension worth $145 million startin’ in the 2016-17 season.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! For all the suckas tryin’ to tell boyz to stay in school that possess the DNA to go to the league after one year of college, you’re completely wastin’ your time now. EVERYBODY sittin’ around watchin’ this foolishness that is a top McDonald’s All-American just made up their minds to pass go and go straight to the league after one year of school. Are you kiddin’ me? Why not? You can always go back to school bruh. School has been here for 2000 years. Your ability and window to play this game is only open for a short period of time.

Now granted everybody isn’t gonna get that type of bread but the bread just got bigger across the league. For all of you simple minded individuals that means that the scale just rose for all duns involved. So low man on the totem pole just got a raise. The dun that was makin’ $800,000 just essentially went up to $1.7 million. That ain’t bad for a dun that never plays and its GUARANTEED!

Can you imagine Big Momma and Uncle Willie tryin’ to tell a boy that’s the No.1 high school player in the country that he needs to go to school, stay and get his degree this mornin’? Can you just imagine the gloss over that dun is doin’ right now. They sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher bruh, “Wah, wah, wah, wah!”

Now keep in mind playboy, I’m not talkin’ about everybody that can hoop. Just because you can play doesn’t mean that you should leave school early. I’m talkin’ about the 5 or 6 people in the world a year that this applies to. Everybody else needs to listen to Big Momma and Uncle Willie.

Anthony Davis just didn’t need to waste his time in school playa. There wasn’t a school on earth that could have taught him how to make $145 million. Naw pimpin’, when you’ve got that type of talent you’ve got to use it. The word of God even says in Proverbs 18:16, “A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.”

Sittin’ in a classroom would have been a complete waste of time for Anthony Davis and cats just like him. All you really need to be able to do in this world is read, write, add and substract and make logical decisions. And on some real talk, you don’t even need to know how to write now. You aren’t learnin’ any of that in college. You’ve already learned how to do that by the time you graduate from high school. Stop it! You sound crazy even tryin’ to argue otherwise.

Gifted people have to use their gifts. Everybody doesn’t need to go to college because what they’re gifted in may not include college. And if we’re talkin’ about the geniuses in a particular field then they darn sure don’t need to go to college. And that’s the edited version.

Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, etc. etc. etc. didn’t need to go to school because they were geniuses at what they do. Duns like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of school because it was a complete waste of time for them to sit in a classroom and listen to some fool tell them things they don’t need to hear.

And we don’t have to just talk about famous millionaires and billionaires either bruh. There are people like plumbers, construction workers, electricians, carpenters etc. etc. etc. that didn’t need to get a degree per se to become successful. They did the necessary work in an apprenticeship  or trade school to learn what they needed to learn to use their gifts to make a livin’.

And yes playboy, cats that can play basketball at the highest level better than 90 percent of the best players in the WORLD don’t need to sit in a classroom either. If a boy is gonna pay you millions of dollars GUARANTEED when you come out of school then you’ve got to take advantage of your gifts. Why? Because God didn’t give everybody the ability to play basketball at that level. Consider yourself blessed and take advantage of the blessin’.

How many people do you run into on a regular basis at the supermarket, gas station, restaurant or just walkin’ down the street that are 6’10” or taller? You don’t! You know why? Because they’re all playin’ basketball, coachin’ basketball or managin’ basketball somewhere. They aren’t walkin’ up and down the street or workin’ in some joint sayin’ “May I take your order.”

Congrats to Anthony Davis for bein’ smart enough to recognize that he had a special gift and now that he’s gotten paid for it I hope that he uses it to help someone less fortunate than himself. Always remember this bruh, God doesn’t just bless you to only bless you. And by the way, he can stop makin' excuses for cancellin' dental appointments from now on. As a matter of fact just take that dun's whole bottom jaw off and give him Ron Isley's joint. Well...you gotta wrestle C-Lo Green to the ground and get Ron's teeth out of his mouth first! Stop me when I start lyin’!
