I don't like this thread
I tried to write quality out of the splintering effect this thread has.
As a way to pull it out of that funk and direction.
Yet this thread should be way more endearing given the content.
Hey, I may not like bron the ball player for his admin moves and the fact he sabotaged his own legacy over thinking.
Now being honest through all the goat wars.
Yes, when I saw this kid, bron.
I felt he could have been the goat easily.
if he knew the bball IQ to execute winning in the NBA for real. Yet he just did not have the actual resources to study or immerse himself in study of the game.
Which has hampered his legacy and still has not ramped by buying old footage and tape to do so. Yet originally when I saw this kid I fell in love with the idea.
it was a kid who could be better than mj and I was all for it. Now granted it has not occurred like that and eventually his mythos will be.
Somewhere chamberlain's 100 point game stands all time. Yet, originally....
When and upon first sight of bron I said to myself.
thank the lord we have someone who could potentially beat out mj and win two four peats.
or win eight titles in a row and it just never happened.
All because bron never had the resources other kids had to watch all the games. Or have a dad who had film of the games on projector or vhs. As back then, my dad's friends who had stable married lives had these things and I studied borrowed returned.
or got in hella trouble not being responsible enough to return those things. Or similar to Kobe whose dad made his way and had resources.
so Kobe had tape and a sound structured safe visionary home to study these things.
I was almost a pro in tennis because I had a library of Andre Agassi tapes, a VHS, cable and a living space.
to act out physically what I saw Andre do and the spin of the ball of his opponent and his ball spin, timing, strike zone and mechanics to study. So I ramped being s late start won third place in city in high school and was close to challenger events close to thirty before having a kid. Which I feel in our gen, this luxury of the old two parent black home was purposefully kept from us in general in America. That whole black America focused home that produced serena/venus, tiger and mj aesthetic was lost for us consistently. Which did exist in general before crack and the precursor of drug abuse and prostitute culture returning nonrehabbed nam soldiers was preyed upon in the American black community after the draft was cancelled.
Like truly fukk America for this lacking life.
they have saddled us purposefully with in America just to keep us down.
when the world prospers from everyone being able to have stability. The world suffers from governments creating poverty purposefully and unrest. Which is what we as black folks are saddled with. I hate we as black people have to have this what if comic component to out lives. Where we have alternate parrallels and have to weigh going without and the outcome of going without administering change. It is an ordeal no other race has to go through right now and it is bogus. I wish other races would realize the more they use this discovery zone on us. Old money will apply it to other races with no money and the cycle Continues.
I really be like fukk America cause we really misses out on so much because of this narcissism. Like think if we got to watch bron who had a place to chill and watch tape of the games. Where he could have seen magic and seen mike over and over like I did.
or Kobe did or any Michael jordan fanatic who tried to study and get better.
Just think if bron had his pops and he was not preyed upon being black and even his pop's friends could have supplied aid.
shyt piss me off, to make me feel real good at how we are black and about our perseverence.
Yet, and still we getting our asses kicked and they got this bullshyt system.
that keeps brothers from being as good as they really supposed to be. Now as a person I salute bron.
Bron may have formerly been my former next Gen favorite player all time too. Yet I can not support his selfishness. Yet I still recognize why it is there and I know exactly why he is not the goat.
Simply, because he had to go painfully without. Yet and still dude is a damn good model of a human being outside of this white man sport.
I still heckle the bull because of what he should have been but is not given the circumstances and his decisions.
Yet I see the kid that if we as blacks were not preyed upon. I see the kid the lack of resources changed his fate tho.
that is the incredible cracked concrete rose that sprung up story of, lebron James.
