Give Away (How George Hill & the Pacers took advantage of the Cavs sleepin' at the gas station)

"You can leave the joint runnin' if you want to playa!"

Robert Collier, the self-help author, once said, “Start where you are. Distant fields always look greener, but opportunity lies right where you are. Take advantage of every opportunity of service.” Victor Cruz, the Super Bowl winnin’ football player, gave it to us like this, “There’s only one life. There’s no repeats. You only get one life, and you gotta take advantage of it.” Nikki Giovanni, the great writer and poet, ended the conversation by sayin’, “A lot of people resist transition and therefore never allow themselves to enjoy who they are. Embrace the change, no matter what it is; once you do, you learn about the new world you’re in and take advantage of it.”

Well playas…the homie George Hill is not resistin’ change and is definitely takin’ advantage of the new world that he’s in. He no longer has Lance Stephenson (Charlotte) and Paul George who has been out all season rehabbin’ a broken leg. So on Friday night he took advantage of the dull Cleveland Cavaliers playin’ without both Kyrie and Lebron as he triple doubled a boy to lead the Pacers to a 93-86 win.

G. Hill finished with 15 points, 10 rebounds and 12 dimes to cap off his career first triple double. Now all of the haters will say that he was only able to do it because the Cavs weren’t at full strength. Kyrie was out due to a strained shoulder which an MRI confirmed on Friday that he suffered on Thursday night against Golden State. LeBron was out because David Blatt decided to rob a boy of hard earned money to give this dun a rest.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! If G. Hill hits a boy up for a triple double because everybody didn’t show up for work whose fault is that? If you jump out of the ride in the middle of the ghetto to pay for gas and leave your joint runnin’ and boy jumps in it and drives off. Did he steal it or did you give it away? George Hill did his job on Friday night playa regardless of who was there or not. Don’t hate the playa hate the game homie. They won’t put an asterisk next to his triple double because some dun left the ride runnin’ with the doors unlocked.

What blows my mind about some of these cats in the NBA is that they don’t have a clue or just don’t care about the sacrifices that people make to bring their kids to these freakin’ games. David Blatt’s explanation for not playin’ LeBron was that he needed a rest. Then once he knew that he was soundin’ crazy to a boy he starts talkin’ about ole boy havin’ some back soreness on Thursday night against Golden State.

Hold on a second dawg, are you talkin’ about the same cat that just put up 42 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists? That dun? Well if he was havin’ back soreness he didn’t know or feel it. Don’t lie to me playboy!! I grew up with hustlas and con-men. Just tell me the truth. I know that on Sunday you’ve got Houston on the road for the first of 10 road games in the month of March and your boy put in work the night before. I get it. But here’s my problem pimpin’, boyz have worked all month or for some of these duns out here, all year to take the kids to see LeBron. If that dun ain’t hurt he needs to suit up, run out of the tunnel, warm up, tip off and play at least a quarter playboy.

There were so many kids in the buildin’ with LeBron jerseys on that only came to see him and he didn’t even sit on the bench with the team in his street clothes bruh. Can you imagine buyin’ tickets to see Michael Jackson, get into the arena, buy some high “A” concession stand food, sit down and a boy comes out and tells you that Mike ain’t feelin’ it tonight but his band is gonna play all of the instrumentals. Enjoy the show! Wheredeydodatat?

Some of these kids got those tickets for Christmas bruh! Think about that! I don’t care if you’ve got 25 games in March and they’re all back to back to infinity and beyond. You are a professional basketball player in the freakin’ NBA and you’re makin’ $21.5 million! If you ain’t hurt you need to be at work! Don’t give me the excuse that ole boy needs a rest because he’s human because he’s not! He’s human with superhuman DNA that’s why they pay him $21.5 million to play a freakin’ game. Boyz didn’t come to see Arthur Johnson or Pookie Smith from the east side bruh. They came to see LeBron!

So if George Hill jumps in the ride and drives off don’t blame him for bein’ opportunistic because he was payin’ to attention to whether the car was runnin’ or not. Not only did he get in the joint but the homie Rodney Stuckey filled it up with 19 gallons. C.J. Miles bought a pack of Cool 100’s for 13 and David West hit ‘em up for 12 pack of Mad Dog 20/20. Everybody jumped in the ride willingly but they had to coerce ole dull Roy to get in with only 8 Skittles and 4 rebounds. They were literally draggin’ that dun into the car as George Hill hit the pedal. Up next the dull 76ers! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Playas Thesaurus:
1) Dun: noun – the person in question, dude, guy etc.
2) Dawg: noun – the cat that I’m talkin’ to that’s about to piss me off.
3) Wheredeydodatat?: In other world playa, “Who does that?”
4) Arthur Johnson or Pookie Smith: nouns – the every hood cats that are playground All-Americans. They’ve got the talent to be in the NBA but they couldn’t stay out trouble enough and refused to go to class growin’ up. So they’ve got to wow boyz in the project cages. We’ve all seen duns in the projects that could hoop “a many” cats in the league.
5) Dull: adjective – used to describe a boy that you can only shake your head when you say his name and I you say “ole dull” it’s even worse.
Holla At Ya Boy!
