10,000 Ways (The REAL reason why CP3 keeps gettin' a pass for failin')

"At some point boyz are gonna stop givin' me pass bruh!"

Thomas Edison once said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Zig Ziglar gave it to us like this, “You cannot climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.” Then ole Thomas Edison grabbed the mic again and shouted, “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”

Well playas…the Los Angeles Clippers have cemented themselves on that list of duns that gave up just as they were openin’ the doors to success. Boyz saw that joint crackin’ open when they were up 3-1 in the series and took the seat belt off, leaned back like Fat Joe and went to sleep bruh. These duns lost 3 straight becomin’ just the ninth team in NBA history to blow a 3-1 series lead in a best-of-seven series.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! How does a boy dig off  into the Rockets and blast them by 16, 25 and 33 points then blow a 19 point lead late in Game 6 on their home court? I’ll tell you how playa, because of a lack of leadership! That’s how!! Now boyz don’t wanna hear it and I hate to tell them the truth but it is what it is. Everybody and their momma’s momma and some of these boyz baby’s momma will tell you that Chris Paul is one of the best point guards in the game and from a skill set standpoint he is. However, from a leadership standpoint he’s not even close.

When you’re runnin’ the point you’re essentially runnin’ the team right? So if you’re the quarterback you get all of the glory when a boy wins and you get the horse head when a boy loses. Again, who’s the leader of that team playa? CP3! So why aren’t boyz givin’ him the blues like they do duns like Peyton Manning and LeBron when they choke in the playoffs? I know LeBron’s not the point but he’s the point bruh.

By losin’ Game 7 CP3 becomes only the third player in NBA history to play his 65^th post-season game without reachin’ the conference finals. The other two cats are Thurl Bailey and Kiki Vandeweghe. That’s not a list that a boy wants to be on pimpin’.

So again, why aren’t boyz ridin’ ole Cliff Paul, mustache, glasses and all, like they do LeBron or Peyton when they fall short? Why does Cliff keep gettin' a pass and they don’t? Because they like him that's why bruh! He's everybody's little brother. So boyz keep lettin' him fail without sayin' a word to him. At least those other guys have won something.

Now I get it, he’s played for two horrible franchises durin’ his entire career, both New Orleans and the dull Clippers. Now it was virtually impossible to win in New Orleans and on the surface with the Clippers too. Then they put together a roster full of duns that looked like they could play. Boyz brought in Doc Rivers, who’s won an NBA championship, and surrounded Cliff with a bunch of duns that talked a good game, dunked on errrbody and could run the floor. So he was at least in a position to get past the second round right?

Then they jumped on a boy 3-1 and leadership got comfortable and fell asleep at the wheel. Boyz wouldn’t have tripped if Cliff had gotten to the Western Conference Finals and lost to Golden State. Naw…he wouldn’t have been expected to win that joint but when you’ve got a boy on the ropes like Clubber Lang you’ve gotta knock him out. And the fact they Cliff couldn’t get his boyz to knock him out says a lot about his ability to lead men and win at the highest level. I’m just sayin’!

If you’re gonna blast Peyton or LeBron then you gotta blast Cliff for wearin’ the silly mustache and glasses and he hasn’t won anything yet. And please don’t let that dun tell you he hasn’t failed, he’s just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. Stop me when I start lyin’!
