Young Russ (Why Russell Westbrook is killin' these boyz but LeBron is still the MVP)

"Well I got somethin' to say about that playa!"

Bob Marley once said, “The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.” James Buchanan, the 15^th U.S. President, gave it to us like this, “The test of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there.” Then Frederick Douglas shut the buildin’ down with, “Man’s greatness consists in his ability to do and the proper application of his powers to things needed to be done.”

Well playas…Russell Westbrook is applyin’ his powers to things needed to be done bruh! Even though he ran up to the Chicago on Thursday night and fell short of his fifth triple double and took an “L” 108-105, ole boy still balled out. He finished the night with 43 points, 7 assists and 8 rebounds. That was on the back end of a back-to-back! On Wednesday night this dun put up career highs of 49, 16 and 10 in overtime against the dull 76ers!

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Young Russ is completely out of control right now! He’s virtually unstoppable and is clearly the most athletic player in the NBA that we’ve seen in years! As a matter of fact, put him in the freak category bruh. He’s in the ride with Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders, Javon Kearse and Michael Jordan. What this dun can do athletically is ridiculous and if you aren’t enjoyin’ it you either don’t know what you’re watchin’ or you’re hatin’!

From a statistical standpoint look at what this cat is doin” bruh! Accordin’ to ESPN Stats and Information he’s just the 4^th player in NBA history to have 3 straight games of at least 40 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds and the first since Jordan did it in ’89. The only other two cats to do it was Elgin Baylor, who had a streak of 4 games in the ’61-’62 season and 3 straight in the ’62-’63 joint. Then Wilt dropped a 3 game streak in the ’63-’64 season.

Over the last 5 games this dun is averagin’ darn near a triple double and he’s the only cat in the league rankin’ inside the top 10 in points, assists and rebounds over that span of games. He’s on pace to become the only cat in league history to average at least 25 points per game while havin’ an assist percentage of 45 percent. Let me make that as clear as Vodka for you playboy! Only 13 players in the history of the game have ever had an assist percentage of 45 percent or higher in a season and this dun is averagin’ at least 25 points to go with it.

I’m not sayin’ that he’s gonna win the MVP but I am sayin’ that if he keeps this up it could end up at his crib whether he deserves it or not. It’s still a long way away but he’s ballin’ out of control at this point. Think about this bruh, Russ has 7 double-doubles at this point. Durin’ that time frame he has generated 412 points (236 Pts scored and 79 Pts assisted). The most points ever generated durin’ a 7 game stretch was when LeBron did it in 2010, when he was responsible for 414 points (234 Pts and 79 assists). He won the MVP that year too. 

Again, I’m not sayin’ that ole boy will win it but he’s makin’ a freakin’ case for it. Now he definitely won’t win the best dressed award! The stuff he puts on is ridiculous bruh! And that’s the edited version. Extra tight Joe Thin smedium psychedelic foolishness! And the crazy thing is, that dun thinks that he’s clean! If you told him that he wasn’t you’d have to fight him in the parkin’ lot after the game.

"Somebody say somethin' about a MVP playa?"

But back to the business at hand, duns like the Beard, Steph and LeBron ain’t standin’ around admirin’ his work playboy. They’re puttin’ in work too. Now if we’re gonna call the award the MOST VALUABLE PLAYER then you gotta look LeBron’s way all day. Why? Because this time last year he had the Heat battlin’ for the No.1 seed in the East on their way to the Finals and now they probably won’t even make the playoffs gamblin’ on D. Wade’s knees. Yeah, I know Bosh is hurt but even with him they were gonna be an easy out early. This time last year the Cavs were suckin’ wind and now they’re the team to beat in the East. I’m just sayin’! That's what an MVP is playa! Not just a cat puttin' up crazy stats every night win or lose.

If we're lookin' at who's the most valuable to their team then LeBron answers that question all day every day. This isn't about who you like or dislike pimpin'! It's about who's the most valuable not who's the most outstandin'!

Here's my diehard LeBron hater screamin' from the roof tops, "Man the Cavs aren't the same team from last year bruh! They've got Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert etc. They're a lot better team because they've got better players." Ummmm, Kevin Love hasn't sniffed the playoffs in his career pimpin' and both J.R.and Iman have been merely role players on bad a bad Knicks team. Now all of a sudden they're Eastern Conference Finals bound playin' with LeBron! I'd say that answers the question as to who the MVP is with that statement alone. And oh yeah, Uncle Drew has been strugglin' to just win games by himself in Cleveland! Are we still talkin' about who the MVP is or do you wanna talk about somethin' else playa?

I know boyz down in the “A” don’t wanna hear that but it’s real talk! Nobody is checkin’ for the Hawks to come out of the East come playoff time playa but the duns in Atlanta. In order to win in the playoffs you gotta have some horses, experience and a coach. Atlanta’s got neither. Good players don’t count as horses. Sure, they’ve been to the playoffs but they haven’t been deep and they don’t have a superstar that will carry the load when it’s gets thick. Sorry Atlanta, we’ll call you when it’s time to get crunk or when boyz are lookin’ for exotic dancers but not for deep runs in the NBA playoffs.

It should be interestin’ as we come down the stretch because all of these boyz are playin’ like their lives are dependent upon it. Stop me when I start lyin’!
