Dolomite (Why George Hill's debut was like Goldie at the Pimp of theYear Awards)

"Let me holla at chu playa!"

Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, “Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.” John Quincy Adams gave it to us like this, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, you are a leader.” Then the big homie Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. put a bow on it when he said, “A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.”

Well playboy…George Hill was the molder of the Indiana Pacers offense on Tuesday night. After missin’ the first 28 games of the season the floor general stepped on the floor and made everyone else better. His leadership guided the Pacers to a 96-84 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans before the short Christmas break.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! With G. Hill out for the first 28 games boyz have been ghetto riggin’ the point position with all types of boyz; Donald Sloan, C.J. Watson and even from time to time Rodney Stuckey. Now don’t get it twisted pimpin’, they all have been serviceable like duck-tape in the projects but G. Hill just made it work better on Tuesday night.

When the whip pulled up in front of Bankers Life Fieldhouse for the Pimp of the Year Awards G. Hill stepped out like Goldie with that OutKast “So Fresh, So Clean” bumpin’ and spit game like a real playa is supposed to. He took control of the offense and made it, in my Ray Charles voice, “Do what it do!”

He led the Pacers with 15 points off of the bench in only 21 minutes. With him runnin’ the offense everything seemed to purr like a kitten. Six boyz ended the night in double figures. Both Solo and D. West ended up at Big Momma’s house with 13 apiece. Roy Hibbert even jumped out of the ride with 14 and a season high 7 blocks. C.J. Miles spit game with that wet jumper is his and hollered at 11 points and C.J. Watson delivered a strong hand with 10.

Boyz were extremely efficient with the rock throwin’ 24 dimes as a squad and only turnin’ the joint over 9 times. Now can I blame all of that on G. Hill’s presence? I can’t but I will playboy! Why? Because it sounds better. They tied a season high 50.0 percent from the field for the second straight game. Was that because of G. Hill? Naw, but let’s say it was anyway because as long as he’s spittin’ game like Goldie he may as well take credit for boyz lookin’ good.

Give credit to the Pacers’ defense for showin’ up like Dolomite, not the carbonate rock that’s ideally written CaMg(CO₃)₂ but the playa, playa! They forced the a team that was 3^rd in the NBA in turnovers that only averaged 12.1 turnovers per game into givin’ the joint up 16 times that resulted in 18 points. Talk about spittin’ game on a boy!

I completely messed you up with the Dolomite reference huh? I was a science major playboy. Well…a Sports Science major but I still had to take all of the chemistry. That goes to show you, never judge a book by its cover. That’s how boyz get robbed out here in these streets, just like the Pelicans did 16 times.

In my Ice Cube voice, “Today was a good day!” Off on Christmas and the day after the fellas are in Detroit! Maybe I should wear a pair of my exotics on these boyz just to let them know that I’m from where they’re from! G.I. and Detroit are the same place playa! Stop me when I start lyin’!

P.S.: Make sure you go behind the scenes with Ya Boy and get video footage of pre and post-game interviews, shoot around etc. for this game with "Pacers Cred."


Holla At Ya Boy!
