Jick Eye (How Mike Conley went to work on Golden State lookin' like Charlie the Wino)

"I got this playboy and my eyes still look better than Jordan's!"

John C. Maxwell, the well-known author, once said, “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” John Quincy Adams gave it to us like this, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” Then Nelson Mandela, poured out a lil’ liquor for all the dead homies when he shouted, “It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.”

Well playas…boyz down in Memphis are appreciatin’ Mike Conley’s leadership this mornin’! When it got dangerous out in Oaktown for boyz after a Game 1 loss over the weekend, Conley decided to boot up and lead Memphis to a 97-90 victory in Game 2 to even the series. Ole boy sat out of the openin’ game after havin’ surgery to repair multiple facial fractures. On some real talk, boyz told him that he needed to chill out for Game 2 as well.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! His family, the doctors and the trainin’ staff told him that it would be in his best interest to take Game 2 on the chin because he really needed the rest. However, Mike kept hearin’ the duns in Oakland bumpin’ that old school Luniz joint, “I Got Five On It,” after Game 1! No way could a boy sit for Game 2 because they’d pull out the Too Short, drop the top and turn up the “Freaky Tales” on a boy.

Naw playa, Mike understood that they were lackin’ leadership in Game 1 and no way could they afford to go down 0-2 to a bunch of cats that have the propensity to bump some “Sprinkle Me” and holler at E-40 in the parkin’ lot! Naw bruh, not with everything they’ve got on the line.

So ole boy strapped up and gave the Grizzlies his time and effort even with a jick eye. When they interviewed that dun durin’ Game 1 his left eye was so blood shot that he looked like Charlie the wino that’s been hangin’ out in front of the “L” for the past 30 years.

Mike understood the magnitude of it all playa and if puttin’ the mask on and ballin’ out was necessary, then in his Smokey from Friday voice, “Let’s do this...maaaannnnn!” He had a game high 22 points in 27 minutes all while bumpin’ some Oakland joints too. His theme music for the night was “You Can’t Touch This” minus the parachute pants playa and he wasn’t about to put on the Speedos and play that “Pumps in the Bumps” joint. That was not a good look Hammer! Not a good look at all pimpin'!

Then he really dug off into the crates and got some Hieroglyphics on a boy and bumped that “3^rd Eye Vision” usin’ the jick eye!

As the Grizzlies stole the No.1 seed’s home court advantage they put on some Tupac “So Many Tears” just to let a boy know that they ain’t playin’ up in this piece! Sure, they could have been bumpin’ boyz from Memphis but why not play all of the Oakland duns? They were in Oakland and you know what they say, “When in Rome do as the Romans do!” So in order to be respectful of the Bay Area they stuck with the Oakland sound as they rode out of town bumpin’ that Tony! Toni! Tone’! “It Feels Good!” See you boyz in Memphis in a couple of days and the playlist will change to nothin’ but duns from the Grind! Stop me when I start lyin’!
