This morning I woke up late as usual. I wake up late so often that I’m starting to think late is the new on-time. Then again, CPT has already been established. It’s a cultural thing. Anyway, the Celtics are the new NBA champions. I considered going out last night to engage in the debauchery, but quickly realized I wouldn’t be able to explain the pepper spray remnants in my eyes, or why I’m calling my boss from a pay phone in jail. Or even worse, calling a close friend or family member from some obscure location saying “help me please.” But given my work out regimen as of recent, I’m sure I would have been able to flip over a few cars without too much strain, or body a couple of race-driven neanderthals.

But I digress….

While watching the Celtics dismantle, destroy, obliterate, romp, ass rape, massacre, pummel, and beat the Lakers, I realized why professional athletes are compensated so much. If I was playing and my team lost by 40 points in the last game of the series on national and international TV, I’d need a large sum of cash to heal the wounds. That’s not the type of history I would ever want make. Even dealing with the game to game criticism as a professional hooper can be a bit much on the mental and physical.
Awkward transition…Kevin Garnett has a really foul mouth. Everytime the camera shows him in the game or on the sideline talking, he always has to be bleeped or silenced out. Even when he was getting interviewed after the game, it appeared he was raining expletives onto the much smaller and helpless female interviewer. I’m pretty sure I even heard him use an endearing word limited to a particular cultural segment. I guess they missed bleeping that out because they were so used to bleeping out the F and Mf bombs. Nonetheless, I could rock with KG. Though he intimidates many, I’m sure after a blunt or round of drinks that he suddenly becomes a 6′1 regular black guy just like me. But of course, Slim Jackson does not condone the usage of any illegal substances, unless you can get them out of your system within 24 to 48 hours…
