Why Jordan fans have to figure out who they hate the most! "73-9 or LeBron"

"They can't have it both ways playa!"

Frederick Douglas once said, "Man's greatness consists in his ability to do and the proper application of his powers to things needed to be done." William Shakespeare gave it to us like this, "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." Then the big homie, Bob Marley knocked over the dominoes at the barber shop when he spit, "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."

Well playas...in this year's NBA Finals greatness will either become a bunch of cats that will be known as the GREATEST TEAM to ever lace them up or the dun that will eventually become THEE GREATEST player to EVER play the game of basketball. Here's the problem for all the haters forced to watch this foolishness. They've got to pick one of these duns to ride with but there's a huge problem. They can't cheer for the Warriors because they're diehard Jordan fans and they can't cheer for LeBron because they're diehard Jordan fans. Problem!! 

Let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! All season long these duns have been goin' nuts hatin' on Golden State and rootin' against them to break the 72-10 mark set by the Chicago Bulls. Why? Because they all want whatever Jordan was apart of to be the best EVER! Just like the Jordan Brand! So they spent the entire season hoping and prayin' that these boyz would lose. When they finally won 73 games they went through hater withdrawals like a heroin addict. Then they started prayin' that they'd lose somewhere in the playoffs because no way can any team ever be greater than the 72-10 Bulls. Can't happen bruh! Won't happen! Accordin' to them. 

Then they started havin' ignorant conversations about why the 72-10 Bulls were better than the 73-9 Warriors with no information to go on other than their emotional eyeball test. So I pulled up the stats on both teams as the season ended to see what the difference actually was and found out that they were essentially the same team statistically with the exception that Golden State won one more game than the freakin' Bulls. 

Let's take a look playboy! First of all, 73-9 is better than 72-10 especially when they're averagin' more points with a higher field goal percentage (48 vs. 47) and 3-point percentage ( 41 vs. 40) on over 1,000 more attempts from behind the arc. Defensively, it's a freakin' wash because Golden State's margin of victory was pretty much the same as the Bulls. They've won by 11 ppg and the Bulls won by 12 ppg.  So if these cats have better stats and have won more games then if they win it all they'll be known as the BEST TEAM to EVER face them up until somebody else wins 74 or better. Stop it! You sound crazy tryin' to argue it. 

On the other side of the coin is the dun that Jordan fans hate even more, LeBron James!! At the age of 31 he only trails Jordan's total championships by 1 title. What boyz get twisted is that Mike was 36 by the time he won 6 championships not 31 bruh! By the time Mike was 31 he had only gone to 3 Finals and won 3 titles. LeBron is on his 7th trip and he's won 2 so far!! Sure, Mike was 6-0 in the Finals by the time he finished his career but he played on the BEST TEAM with the BEST coach to EVER walk the sidelines EVERY time he showed up. 

Oh, he wasn't on the BEST TEAM bruh? Best player (Jordan), best 3-point shooter percentage wise in the history of the league at 45% (Steve Kerr). Sure, Kerr only averaged like 6 ppg but he it the few shots Mike needed him to knock down. Jordan also had the best wingman in the league at the time (Scottie), best rebounder in the league (Rodman) on three of those title runs and the BEST COACH in Phil Jackson. 

Mike wasn't carryin' boyz! All Jordan had to do was show up and play HIS position. He never had to play multiple positions, guard multiple positions and lead the team in points, rebounds and assists. He never had to average darn near a triple double in the Finals just to have a shot at winnin'. He didn't take the worst team in the league within 4 years of bein' drafted to the NBA Finals with the Cosby Kids on the roster! He never took 2 separate franchises to the Finals. He didn't leave a team because they refused to get him a coach or a roster that the followin' year became the worst team in the league and join another team only to take that team to the Finals in year 1! Mike didn't then leave that team, go back to one of the worst teams in the league and take them to the Finals again two straight times!!!

When Mike was 16 years old he was cut from the high school team! When LeBron was 16 he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated named "The Chosen One!" At 18 Mike was the third option on his COLLEGE TEAM. LeBron was named the Rookie of the Year in the NBA! At 22 Mike's Bulls were gettin' swept in the 1st round of the NBA Playoffs. LeBron was gettin' swept in the Finals by one of the greatest teams to EVER lace them up, Tim Duncan and the 2007 Spurs. I'm just sayin' bruh! This isn't my opinion these are the facts! 

When Mike retired the first time after winnin' three straight the Bulls won 2 less games without him than they did the year before with him. They didn't become the worst team in the league when he left.  They kept it movin' and darn near went back to the Finals again without him. 

These hatin' non-information havin' cats love to hate but refuse to look at the facts. At only 31 years old LeBron's got more playoff wins than Jordan did in his ENTIRE career and he played until he was darn near 40 bruh! Think about that!! 

At 31 LeBron is already 4th all-time in most points in playoffs history behind Jordan, Kareem and Kobe. He's third all-time in playoffs career assists behind Magic and Stockton. He's ranked 11th in career playoffs rebounds and 90 percent on the duns on that list are centers and power forwards. And this is what you boyz keep forgettin'! Everybody on each of those lists is retired and he's still got 4 or 5 good years left in him bruh. And that's bein' generous! So what does that mean? The only dun's numbers that will get better over time on those lists are the person's that is still playin'!  

So you've got between now and Thursday to get your emotions in check to figure out which one of these duns; Golden State or LeBron you hate the most and root for the other. Because you can't hate on both of them! And let me say this bruh! If LeBron wins a championship in CLEVELAND that joint counts for about 4 anywhere else! Stop me when I start lyin'! 

Playas Thesaurus: 
1) Spit: verb - to say
2) Dun: noun - the person in question, dude, guy, etc. It's whoever I'm talkin' about and its non-gender specific.

Holla At Ya Boy!
