The Thread of the BIG Bad Asterisk *

[T.he I.nformant]

This is for all my salty, hating, stuck in the moment, can't let go, bitter as fukk, umad?, yes, I'm mad, fukk you, you, and you too brehs

This is for my can't live in a vacuum, context is everything brehs

This is about my team woulda won, shoulda won, coulda won if not for this bullshyt

This is about the backstory, the event within the event

We talk a lot about championships, accolades, accomplishments, awards, and legacies but we sometimes leave out those little details that made the biggest differences

If not for certain things playing out the way they did, shyt might've turned out differently

This not bout the headlines, this bout the footnotes

That shyt nikkas forget about

In here we talk about all that shyt

I'll set it off:

#94-95NBAChampionHoustonRockets*

*After the Chicago Bulls's first 3-peat, His Airness escaped an impending suspension for gambling by retiring. The pretext involved Jordan's field of dreams foray in minor league baseball. Had this not happened MJ would have led the Chicago Bulls to a 4th and 5th championship during the 93-94 and 94-95 seasons and the Dream would have joined the likes of Malone and Barkley as ringless greats.

 

[Tha Gawd Amen]

Lebron can't win without 2 HoF

Kobe can't win without Phil and a big man

Tim Duncan had been surrounded by great talent and had Gregg Popovich his entire career.

Mj needed Phil and Pippen

The dream needed jordan to retire

Magic and Birds teams were loaded.

I don't get why people want to hold on to bull shyt ideas like this to take away from a players greatness

#GoldenBearRecord18Majors* #Asterisk

*The holder of the most esteemed professional golfing record was preparing for his record of 18 majors to be obliterated by a once in a lifetime, transcendental talent who was still in the prime of his career at 33 years old. Then Thanksgiving 2009 happened. And we heard Tiger Woods had crashed his Escalade and was lying on the ground in some serious condition with facial lacerations. (I thought the nikka was on drugs.) The world soon found out that his injuries were not the result of some freak accident but the result of wife Elin doing tee time on this cheating nikka's face. We learned that that Tiger had not one, not two, not three, not four...but a stable of big fake-tittied white bytches inviting themselves to this nikka's balls on a regular basis for a fairly long time. The media love story was over. The backlash was on. nikka momentarily lost endorsements. nikka took over a year off (because he was coming off an ACL injury). Now, Tiger's back, knee, and Achilles are fukked up. And the nikka can't play and is stuck on 14 majors. Hasn't won a major since the US Open in 2008. Over 5 years brehs. This shyt over. The inevitable moment when Tiger tied Jack and then passed him with a 19th major seems impossible, now. Jack Nicklaus's record will likely stay intact. And the Golden Bear has to thank that late Thanksgiving 2009 night where in the wee hours of the morning, the world discovered Tiger's kryptonite: the lack of numerous white bytches. If Tiger starts slaying porn bytches, waitresses, neighbor's daughters and soccer moms, again, he might have a chance. Looking bleak, though, brehs.

Why would Jack Nicklaus have an asterisk by his 18 majors

*2012 Kentucky Wildcats NCAA Championship

It was suppose to be THE rematch of the year between the two most talented teams....UNC & UK. The first matchup was an instant classic with UK pulling out the win at the very end with a impossible block by Anthony Davis. UNC was a different team come tournament time with the addition of Reggie Bullock in the starting lineup and the team was playing at its best, ready for that rematch with Kentucky. Then Kendall Marshall breaks his wrist at the end of the Creighton game We had already lost our backup PG halfway through the season with a torn ACL and losing Marshall was too much to overcome UK walked away with the title without having to face the only other team with as much talent as they had. Not saying we would have won, but damn sure woulda put up a better fight than Kansas.

Georgetown 1984 title got a * by it too....If Kenny Smith doesn't injure his wrist, one of the best Tar Heel teams in history would have taken the title that year....GUARANTEED

fukking injuries.

One of the most significant injuries in my lifetime was Kenyon Martin's broken leg in 2000 so...

#Asterisk #2000NatlChampMichiganStateSpartans*

Cincinnati was the best team in the country and K-Mart was the best and most dominant player in college basketball. That season, the Bearcats were ranked No. 1 in the national polls for 12 of 18 weeks and K-Mart made a clean sweep of the national player of the year awards (Naismith, Wooden, Rupp, Robertson, NABC). The Bearcats tied a school record for victories with a 29-4 record and won their fifth straight Conference USA regular season title. Cincy seemed poised for a run for the national title until Martin suffered a broken leg in the first few minutes of Cincy's first-round game of the Conference USA Tournament. Cincy went from the #1 team in the land to a 2-seed in the NCAA Tournament, and fell to Tulsa in the 2nd round of the tournament. Martin was a unanimous first team All-American and would be the number one pick in the NBA draft. I love that Spartan team but y'all can't tell me shyt wouldn't have been different if K-Mart had been healthy. nikka averaged 18.9 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game. Can't replace that. Son was simply a beast.

okay why would tiger failing health mean an asterick by Jack Nicklaus major wins?

Jack's 18 is a fukking record. It's the standard in golf. If Tiger were to have continued to sleep with scores of white women without so much damn publicity, he would've probably recovered more quickly and been able to break the record with ease. A healthy Tiger at that time in 2009 was a dominant. The fact this nikka must now be monogamous is the reason his health continues to derteriorate and why he is no longer invincible on the golf course. Jack's record was going to fall if Tiger could have continued his serial philandering. This nikka hasn't won a major in over five years, breh. FIVE+. He only had four more to go for the tie and five for the break. Damn shame.
