A Tale Of Two Cities…

I have tried to withstand all the LeBRON JAMES hype that has been generated during this NBA season. The Association is too deft at finding ways to attract me whether it is visceral or emotional. They have a talented athlete celebrity who appears to be the complete package [ll]. All I can say about LeBRON’s performance against the Knicks is that it surpassed ShowBee BRYANT’s 61 points because LeBRON achieved a triple double. Not even a JASON KIDD triple double, but a WILT CHAMBERLAIN triple double.

LeBRON and KOBE are clearly two diametrically opposed forces on a collision course in June called the NBA Finals. If anything else were to happen I would immediately tune out from basketball and devote my full attentions to the Mets championship run with MANUEL RAMIREZ batting cleanup. If the Association knows whats good for them they will bring TIM DONAGHY back just to insure that we are treated to this special finals match up.

I believe that KOBE will eat LeBRON’s food in the Finals. First off, LeBRON has the funnier commercials, but KOBE has the better ad spots. LeBRON doesn’t have fast food ads that were as dope as pre-rape KOBE’s were. LeBRON is telegenic and the whole nine, but KOBE is an ice cold assassin who just doesn’t give a fuck. And more than anything else he wants a title to put his middle finger up to SHAQ.

LeBRON may be the lion king of the the NBA jungle but KOBE is the tiger. The lion knows that it has no predators whereas the tiger sees everything as its enemy. The tiger knows that its time here is short so it kills at will everything on sight. KOBE is from Philadelphia and he knows a thing or two about having the eye of the tiger just like Rocky Balboa did. LeBRON just doesn’t seem to have to battle against that same self doubt that challenges KOBE.

LeBRON knows that we know he is great, and he is happy with that.

KOBE is never happy.

This is the part of the morning where I like to give you my real talk.

Yes, there are intelligent life forms in the universe.

No, we are not smart enough to fuck with them.

Do you think the maker of heaven and Earth maxed out with the human being?

Really?

We can’t even replicate on our own. Sure we can have eight kids via in vitro fertilization, but that still required all kinds of other people to administer.

The day that we can replicate via thought is when we will be getting a step closer to being like the most advanced species.

Off the beaten path of the NYC skate and streetwear scene in the Lower East Side there is a tiny little shop off Canal street on the west side called Rival. They are hands down the best skate shop in the city. They are the skateboarders skate shop. They are the BMX riders bike store. They are the real deal Holyfield, never perpetrating the fraud Nike SB dealer.

They are my peoples.
