Did I just hear many of you say any or all of the following?...
Ø Shucks I really wanted to watch the Finals but I did not know they were being played.
Ø I’m really sad they are over! Did Michael Jordan do well?
Ø What’s the NBA?
Oh well, we don’t all have the same interests.
Time to Get On With the Foolishness for Today
I know how I could get 1 Million Instagram Followers very quickly. First a little background…
Ø The newly crowned NBA Champions, the Toronto Raptors, have a ballplayer who averaged only 3.4 Minutes Played and only 1.1 Points Scored through the entire playoffs and, since he was on the team (on the bench on the team), he will still receive a Championship Ring just like all the players who earned a ring while actually playing in the games.
Ø This player may not have made a huge impact on the court but he has a strong following on Social Media because he boasts nearly 2 Million Instagram Followers.
My plan is simple. I am going to play with the Golden State Warriors next year and I am going to Play 1.7 Minutes and Score .55 Points/Game. This is half of what he played and scored. That ought to be good enough to get 1 Million Instagram Followers.
You are snickering. Don’t deny it! I can see you snickering. I am not going too far out on a Proverbial Limb here. It’s not that I alone think I am good enough to achieve these less-than-lofty goals. The Golden State Warriors think I am good enough.
Now that they have been dethroned I just know they are going to come looking for me and my considerable talents again.
Allow me to explain the word “again”…
Ø It was only a couple of years back that the Warriors thought I was good enough to play on their team.
Ø The General Manager called me on the phone and begged me to join them in time for their playoff run.
Ø While I negotiated with him I could hear several of the players shouting words of encouragement to the GM in the background.
Ø Encouragement hell! They sounded desperate!
Ø We negotiated a very Lucrative Contract but at the very last moment, he asked if I had any Tattoos and, when I replied in the negative, he abruptly hung up the phone.
I am certain that they now see the error of their ways (they lost) and they know for certain that I am what they need to Get Over the Hump and claim their 4th Title in the last 6 years.
Just to play it safe and to make sure they do not hang up on me when they call this time, starting tomorrow I am going to get the first of 24 Tattoos and I have already started Growing a Beard that any Muslim would be proud to have growing out of his face.
Would I kid u?
