Letter to LeBron

"Assume this position at the 3 minute mark bruh!"

Dear LeBron,

First of all, let me say congratulations on a huge win last night in Oklahoma City 100-96! That was the first loss the Thunder has suffered in these playoffs at home. They were 8-0 up to that point! So big ups for the win bruh! I just wanted to holla at you real quick before game 3 at the crib. Dude, you are the best player on the planet hands down and it's time that you start acting like it. I don't know where you're from but you not acting like you grew up in the ghetto, I'll tell you that. Cuz when boyz in the hood know that they're the best cat on the floor everybody understands what's about to go down. It's called the take over!

Granted you put up 32 points, picked off 8 rebounds and handed out 5 dimes but that's called covering the expectation for the night. However, I kept saying that it would be a wash because ya boy Durant was gonna put up his usual and he matched your 32 points in the end. Now what? At the half I was telling these cats that both Westbrook and Durant had 6 points each and they were going to get their points in the second half because that's what they do! You can't keep them from showing up because they've got that gene!

Because you're so good and you've fulfilled your level of expectation you've got to put more in the collection plate than everybody else. It's that gene I'm talking about! During the last 3 minutes of the ball game everybody in the building needs to understand that you're gonna take ALL of the shots the rest of the way. Not jumpers either bruh! I'm talkin' take the rock to the rack every time down the floor. There isn't a cat on that team that can deny you the basket. So you're gonna score, get fouled or both, either way, it's points!

If the Heat is up at the 4 minute mark you guys should never lose ball games because it should be impossible for them to take the rock from you. All that freaking passing the ball around down the stretch is for chumps! If they wanna know what the ball feels like tell the trainers or equipment managers to give everybody on the bench one and tell 'em to shut up. Everyone on the floor has a pair of their own to keep them busy. During crunch time you didn't see Jordan give that joint up nor does Kobe! Well, you have to start becoming as big a jerk as they have been down the stretch!

I don't wanna see you drive to the paint and dump it off to some cat that's not expecting it because he grew up in the ghetto and understands hood protocol. How many times have you hit a Dun in the face down the stretch because he wasn't expecting it. He's knows that you're supposed to shoot it too. I don't know what they taught you at that private school but the best player controls the ball when the game is on the line. That's standard hood protocol bruh! Get with the program! You're playing for the SHIP!

So now you guys at least as a team took care of business and won the 1 game that you absolutely needed to win in OKC. Real talk, ya'll should be up 2-0 going to the crib because ya'll gave Game 1 away because you didn't follow the hood by-laws bruh! Quit trying to get boyz involved that don't want to get involved! It's like Doughboy riding around with Tre' in "Boyz N the Hood" after Ricky got killed looking for revenge. He knew Tre' wasn't down and would eventually ask to get out of the car. You see he didn't even argue with him when he finally asked to get out because he knew he wasn't built for it anyway! You already know some of these cats you got in the car with you are nothing but Tre' so why do you keep trying to give them the gun?

Who gave Juwan Ice bruh?

Like Charles Barkley said in the Dream Team documentary, "I'ma get in trouble for what I say anyway so from this point forward Ima say whatever I want!" You're going to get blamed by the media and hatin' fans whenever the Heat loses anyway bruh. So why not go down swinging every night! What you'll find is, more boyz will start riding with you because you've got the heart of a real G. That's why all these cats aren't giving you any love out here. You my guy so I'm in the ride but Kobe gets more love than you in the hood and he ain't even from the hood. Why, because he's got that gene I've been talking about. That Killer Instinct gene bruh! When cats in the barber shop see that gene come out of you then you're ghetto pass all over the country will get processed and approved.

If you take over this series like you're supposed to, I've got a pair of red Miami Heat gators waiting on you because you'll be carte blanche in the hood and not just in Akron bruh! What are you gonna do with the opportunity? I'm Ya Boy but I'm waiting bruh!

P.S. Tell Juwan to take his street clothes off before he puts on his warm up or at least push his shirt sleeve up because I could see it falling down under his joint. Also he needs to take off them Stacey Adam's and put on his sneakers for game 3 cuz he's marking up the floor with all of that fidgeting. In my Bobby Bowden voice, "tell him to quit wasting the ice in the training room, dadgummit!!!"

Sincerely Frustrated, Ya Boy!

Holla At Ya Boy!
