Warnin' Shot (Why James Harden didn't think twice about kickin' LeBron)

"In my Tupac voice, 'Diggin' it to these #!%&!!!'"

Mr. Willie down at the car wash once said, “The more successful you become the more boyz are gonna come after you.” Old lady Johnson from up the street gave it to us like this, “If you let one person punk you boyz are gonna get in line and it’s gonna be a long day.” Then some old timer in the barber shop broke it down so that it would forever be broken by sayin’, “Your reputation precedes you playa. So if boyz are pushin’ you around it’s because the word got out a long time ago.”

Well playboys…the word has been out for years that LeBron isn’t gonna fight a boy for bein’ disrespectful so it’s OK to do whatever you want to him whenever you want. So on Sunday night after both LeBron and teammate James Jones double teamed James Harden tryin’ to force a jump ball. Ole boy fell down and just straight up kicked LeBron square in the package. LeBron didn’t do a thing but grab his joint.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! James Harden kicked ole boy because his reputation precedes him on and off of the court playa. Even though LeBron grew up in the hood he’s built differently from your traditional hood cat. He doesn’t have the same fire that a boy from Any Hood, USA would have. That’s why cats take shots at from time to time.

Remember a few seasons ago when Russell Westbrook straight up tackled ole boy in mid-air in the Finals while he was goin’ up for a dunk and LeBron just got up lookin’ crazy? Remember when the Chicago Bulls were straight up football tacklin’ him in the playoffs a couple years ago? Just like I remember those incidents, boyz around the league remember them too. That’s why James Harden had no problem kickin’ him on Sunday night. Why? Because he knew what LeBron’s reaction was gonna be.

Here’s my naïve fan from the suburbs that has never had to deal with boyz takin’ advantage of him or havin’ to get a boy off of his back. “Man he’s a basketball player not a fighter. He doesn’t want to get fined, thrown out of a game or lose endorsement money. That’s why he doesn’t do anything to these idiots.”

All of that sounds great playboy in a perfect world. It would even sound good if he was playin’ in an NBA that was full of cats from the suburbs but he doesn’t. Most of the duns that he’s playin’ against grew up in the same environment that he grew up in and live by the same rules. So guess what playa? If he lets a boy take advantage of him or bully him everybody is gettin’ in line.

It’s like the dun that walks into school and gets his books knocked out of his hands. As soon as he bends over to pick them up somebody kicks him in his butt and slaps his hat off of his head. Now it’s gonna keep happenin’ everyday until he beats the brakes off of somebody.

Here’s Rule 16 of the Hood Code of Conduct! “A bully doesn’t want to fight because he just wants to bully. He wants to show out in front of the fellas and get laughs. He never has any intentions on puttin’ his hands to work. He just loves the attention.”

Therefore, if you hit the bully in the mouth in front of everybody then you put everybody on notice that I’m not the one. If LeBron would have punched Russell Westbrook or the one of the Bulls in the head years ago he wouldn’t be dealin’ with James Harden kickin’ him on Sunday night bruh. At some point you gotta take one for the team to get a boy up off of you.

I get him not wantin’ to get kicked out of a playoff game because that joint really counts. So you fire on a boy in a regular season game just to let a boy know that I ain’t the one!

I know y’all remember Melo meetin’ Kevin Garnett at the freakin’ bus after the game when KG said something disrespectful about Melo’s wife, LaLa, right? The fact that he had the fire to meet ole boy after the game made the statement that he needed to make. You don’t see anybody talkin’ crazy about Melo’s wife do you? Why? Because he let boyz know that I’m not the one pimpin’!

The best player in the world should never be gettin’ punk’d by lesser opponents. Can you imagine boyz punkin’ Jordan? Are you serious? Now I have no idea if he could scrap or not but his presence let a boy know that he wasn’t the one. As much as I’m on the other side of Kobe he’s not gonna let a boy punk him because he has that fire in him. LeBron is always lukewarm bruh and it drives me nuts.

He’s my guy but if I was ridin’ through the hood I wouldn’t take him with me because he’s not gonna be bout it if somethin’ pops off. I need a cat with me that will snap the moment a boy bumps into me. Let’s get it out of the way as soon as you think you’re gonna come at me. That way we can handle it and move on. Otherwise, I’m gonna to keep dealin’ with cats that want to make a name for themselves.

LeBron has become that dude that boyz know they can punk. If he had merely swung on the Beard that would have been the shot heard around the world and now he could finish the season in piece. Now he’s gotta keep his head on a swivel and that ain’t good. Fire on a boy early on and take the one or two game suspension and then live in peace the rest of your career. Because if I were LeBron I would have shaved the Beard on NATIONAL TELEVISION just to fire that warnin' shot. That dun would have been lookin' like Gary Coleman when I finished with him. Stop me when I start lyin’!
