Slingshot (The REAL reason the Spurs were able to slay that Philistine and win it all)

"You gotta unhanced that playboy! It's our time to shine!"

Muhammed Ali once said, “I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion’.” Wilma Rudolph hit boyz in the head with, “Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.” Then Mia Hamm gave us the banger when she said, “I am a member of a team and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.”

The San Antonio Spurs proved to the world that they were the best TEAM in the Finals and that’s why they beat the brakes off of the Miami Heat 104-87 in Game 5 to win the NBA Championship. Like I always say, the one thing that I love about the NBA is that the best TEAM will always win the championship because you’ve gotta win four times to take the hardware to the crib.

This ain’t the NCAA Tournament where boyz can get hot in one night and upset a boy and advance. Naw playboy, you gotta have your grown man draws on ready to play for two months.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Let’s talk about what boyz really wanna talk about pimpin’, LeBron losin’ in the Finals! Today I know every hater in America is gonna be blamin’ this dun for another loss in the Finals. Here’s the crazy thing about it though, boyz that will tell you that they know something about sports know absolutely nothin’. Twitter went nuts with duns sayin’ that Jordan never lost in the Finals etc.

Did you watch the same series I just watched bruh? Did you even see Jordan play in the Finals or did you just see the highlights? Because if you watched these Finals you saw LeBron show up with a bunch of cats eatin’ off of his plate. He was in Cleveland all over again bruh!

Snap shot this playa, last night this dun jumped out of the Caddy in the middle of a San Antonio street to fight in a “Po Pimp” do or die situation and he was the only cat out there throwin’ blows. As a matter of fact, nobody else even got out of the ride. He put up 31 and 10 while the rest of those bums watched with the windows rolled up and the doors locked. By midway through the third quarter the Miami bench had 2 points whereas the San Antonio bench had 39! You can’t win with that!

D. Wade is out there lookin’ like he just got off work at mill and still had on is work clothes when a boy asked him to run. He’s runnin’ up and down the floor with a pocket full of change and a gang of keys hangin’ off of his belt.

Chris Bosh is literally outside hidin’ in the bushes waitin’ for LeBron to dismantle this well-oiled machine all by himself. You know you got problems when you take your guaranteed lift off of the bench (Ray Allen) and start him. Then he plays for 20 plus minutes in the first half. You’re askin’ way too much of him bruh. He’s 145 years old for cryin’ out loud!

Then Mario Chalmers was so bad in this series that Spo pulled a Nino Brown on that dun and told him to “sit yo $5 “A” down before I make change” when he got up to go in the game. The trainers went over and took his sneakers and socks off of him to make sure that he didn’t go in the game. As a matter of fact, they put some old school Stacy Adams “knobs” on him and tied those joints up extra tight with some duck-tape.

In Game 4 LeBron came out in the third quarter and scored 19 of the Heat’s 21 points! This dun was in Cleveland all over again I keep tellin' you!! He may as well have been playin’ with Boobie Gibson, Ilgauskas, ole dull Delante West and Anderson Varejao bruh.

He averaged in this Finals alone 28 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals per game bruh! He shot 57 percent from the field and 52 percent from three! What else do you want this dun to do?

Mike never showed up in the Finals and got out of the ride with Pippen, Hodges, Paxson, Horace Grant, Rodman, Kerr or the other soldiers that marched with him not on his hip? Where you from? You boyz act like this is tennis or track or something. This is a TEAM sport and you’ve gotta have four other guys on the floor ready to play at all times playa.

You never saw Phil Jackson get outcoached on the sidelines. Pop was runnin’ circles around Spoelstra in every freakin’ game. Are you kiddin’ me? The Spurs used Miami’s strength against them and beat the brakes off of them with it. The Heat’s strength was trappin’ on defense to create turnovers because they were the best transition team in the league and on everybody else that worked.

It didn’t work against a great ball movin’ team because ball beats man every time. You learn that in the fourth grade! They just moved that joint very quickly until they got wide open looks and they were knockin’ those joints down. They were so disciplined that they passed up good looks for great looks! Pop knew how to beat these boyz and Spo never made adjustments to counter what he was doin’. This has nothin’ to do with LeBron not bein’ good enough to “will” these cats to victory because this is a TEAM sport. San Antonio was the best TEAM and that’s why they won the championship.

These clown cats are runnin’ around here today hollerin’ “Jordan never lost in the Finals” and that’s exactly right. However, every time he showed up to the Finals playboy he had the best TEAM in the series and the best coach. That makes a difference. Y’all act like Mike showed up with the freakin’ Milwaukee Bucks with Dick Vitale coachin’ and won six titles.

But since you wanna compare the two, at 29 years old both Mike and LeBron have two championships. Mike has 2 MVP’s whereas LeBron as 4, they both have 2 Finals MVP’s, Mike’s been to 2 Finals and LeBron’s been to 5! And don’t give me the “Mike never lost in the Finals” because at 29 the dun had only been to 2. So what’s a better look? Only goin’ to 2 or goin’ to 5 and winnin’ 2 by the time your 29? I’m just sayin’! That shows a level of consistency in winnin’ over a longer period of time. And don’t give me the “Mike went to college and LeBron’s been in the league longer” because it further proves my point.

If I graduate from high school and go straight to IBM and become Rookie Employee of the Year. I consistently live up to the hype until I’m 29 by winnin' two National Sales Championships after bein’ in the championship round five times. For my first 7 years of my career I didn’t have the resources or a good manager but I produced anyway. However, my homeboy HAS to go to college for three years before he’s ready to go to work. Then he never gets to the Sales Championship until he’s 28 and then wins two straight by age 29. However, he gets what becomes the best assistant to ever work in Corporate America at the time within three years of startin' his career and he gets the best manager to EVER work in the industry within five years. Which one of our resumes is more impressive? I’m just sayin’!

Mad props to my homeboy from the G, Coach Pop, for winnin’ yet another title! Somebody finally showed up with the dreaded slingshot (TEAM) and slayed that Philistine. Now will somebody go and clean out D. Wade’s locker because that dun is finished, slam ball and all! But don't think for one minute that that dun is gonna opt out and leave $20 million on the table playboy! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!
