Pre-Game Speech to LeBron! "Keep It Movin' "

Hey bruh, I’m out here telling folks that you’ve got more talent than Jordan at age 26 etc and you go out and lay an egg in game 4. What’s up with that bruh? I’m going to call it like I see it my man. You looked like you’re scared to just take over! I know you want be a good teammate and involve everybody but it’s the NBA Finals.  It should be you and D. Wade every time down the floor. Every body else should already know to get rebounds and play defense that’s it.

Let’s keep it real bruh, Jordan didn’t care who was on the floor, he was taking over and it didn’t matter what Phil, Pipp or anybody else thought. I know that you have D. Wade but you’re deferring to Mario bruh!Where are Chris Carter, Tom Jackson and Mike Ditka when you need them? C’mon Man!

"Keep it movin' der boi!"

You making me look bad! I’m writing articles giving you all kinds of love, breaking down your stats, awards etc. and you look good on paper bruh! But the game isn’t played on paper! It was played in Dallas at American Airlines Center and you may as well been sitting next to me and Ol' Otis.

By the way he’s got something to say to you, “Whatcha say der boi! Ya say ya wanna be the greatest basketball player ever der boi?  Ol' Otis say ya look like ya scared der boi!  I mean ya look strawberry soft der boi. Ya look like they need to check ya der boi to see if ya got "melons” der boi.  Ol' Otis ain’t got money ta blow on a game der boi , so you either gotta show up tonight or keep it movin’ der boi.” Hear what I say der boi, just keep it movin' der boi.

Hey man Deion Sanders says it best, “You gotta bring that dog out”. It’s in there but you’ve got to dig way down deep and get it. My problem is this, if you have to be told to bring it out and it’s the NBA Finals you don’t have it. All the talent in the world doesn’t mean a thing without the desire to use it and for that matter take over with it.  

You’ve got the complete game and you disappear when all of the marbles are on the table. D. Wade shouldn’t have to go off on you to tell you to hold on to the rock in game three. You’re freaking LeBron James for crying out loud! He can’t want it more than you. Otherwise, what was the point of showing up bruh? I’m riding with you because I don’t like the haters hating but you got me fired up. I shouldn’t be upset about a basketball game man. I’m breaking my own fan rule, “Take your heart out of it”. However, I seem to want to see you succeed more than you do bruh!

 You’re giving folks ammunition to say that you’re soft and that you’ll never be as good as Jordan, when you’ve already got more natural talent than Jordan at the same age. The question is, are you going to have the heart that Jordan had? That’s the x-factor and it’s on you baby boy! If Allen Iverson would’ve been blessed with the natural size and ability that you have he would have been the greatest ever. That guy had more heart than anybody that I’ve seen play the game.

Hey man, I’ve got a reputation to uphold so don’t make me look bad out here again. I’ve got you but you’ve got to have you!  Now you can erase all of the doubt if you just go out here tonight and play like you’re capable of or you can’t establish yourself as a "bust wanna be Jordan with no heart".

Holla At Ya Boy!
