At The Finish Line…Where Only the Truth Matters

* Ok young folk . . . here’s enough truth to last you till the end of time or until you get a clue. Here’s your “Top Ten” wake up call about what you think you know!!!
:10 Your Warriors get the #5 spot all time at best. They fall in line behind #1 the Michael Jordan Bulls. #2 the Magic Johnson “Show Time” Lakers. #3 the Larry Bird Celtics. #4 the Isaiah “Bad Boys” Pistons and then maybe . . . maybe . . . maybe Steph Curry and the boys fall in at the #5 spot. But let’s not forget the “Hakeem the Dream” Houston Rockets, the “Dr. J.” 76ers and the Tim Duncan Spurs MMMMAAAANNNN!
:09 This has to stand by itself! The Boston Celtics had six Hall of Famers and won eleven, count-em, eleven world titles for a reason. Does the name Bill Russell ring a bell.
:08 So let’s talk match ups. Who on the Warriors covers “Russell”, who covers “Chamberlain”, who covers “Shaq”, who covers “Parrish”, who covers Darrell “Chocolate Thunder”, Dawkins, who covers “Olajuwon” . . . wait, wait, wait . . . who the hell covers Kareem Abdul-Jabbar??? Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody! You all are so 3-point crazy you forget the objective is to get the ball to the closest person to the hoop. “The Center”. There ya go. Oh, by the way, did I mention Moses Malone and Bill Walton!
:07 You do know that Wilt Chamberlain holds 72 NBA records, which is also a record, and that he was 7’2″ tall and weighed 275 lbs. C’mon man!
:06 I suppose you also know that Kareem is the NBA all-time leading scorer. His sky hook was the most unstoppable shot in the history of basketball.
:05 While I have your attention, I am sure you know that Michael Jordan is recognized as the greatest basketball player of all time.
:04 So here’s this. If Clay Thompson watches Michael, who watches Scottie Pippen? It would have to be Green because Curry has to watch Kerr . . . and Kerr can shoot 3’s with him all night. Now!!! Who gonna watch Dennis “The Worm” Rodman. Then just for the fun of it, you got all-star Toni Kukoc of the Bench and 7’2″ Luc Longley in the hole at 265 lbs. C’mon man, c’mon man!
:03 Still having fun? Let’s keep this party going. You got Thompson on 6’8″ Magic Johnson. You got Curry on Michael Cooper. Green on Worthy. One miss match after another. You may have someone to watch Kurt Rambis, but he’s gonna get beat up. Here’s your “Huckleberry” (Doc Holiday . . . Tombstone). No—–Body can watch Kareem!
:02 You do the match-up on this one, and it might be the most difficult of all. You’re in the Boston Garden, an impressive place to win, Dennis Johnson 6’5″, Danny Ainge 6’6″,
Larry Bird 6’9″, Kevin McHale 6’10” and Robert Parish at 7’0′. You lose again! Hey, turn around and come back here. I’m still talking to you. I’ll tell you when it’s over. It’s over when I say it’s over!
:01 Take this to bed with you tonight – – – the 76ers legend “Dr. J.” the most unstoppable force in basketball, along with Moses Malone, Maurice Cheeks, Bobby Jones (The highest jumping white boy of all time) and the great and lethal Andrew Toney. Are – You – Kidding – Me! And all I will tell you about the Isaiah Thomas, Dumars, Rodman, “Micowave”, Mr. Nasty Bill Laimbeer and the finisher Rick Mahorn Bad Boys Team is that the Warriors of today may not get to a 4th game with them in a series with the nastiest team to ever play the game.
Shut-up. This lesson is over. You got the truth and you know nothing else matters. Now pick up your jaw, your i-phone, all your tweets . . . faces . . . and grams and be gone. And remember, an old cat told you this, all my players put the “B” in Basketball!
