I hate hearing guarantees, but a celebration is generally improvisation. Which I tend to appreciate. I guess as a black male, watchin black athletes is no big deal, mostly likely because I can identify with a play. I hear friends say, that was impossible. I tend to think, naw that was just concentration because I've done something similar. From one handed TD grabs to put back dunks. Chasin a baseball down and makin an over the shoulder grab. Tossin a silly dime on the break, and gettin hype before your man even touches the ball. Screamin after a big play. Tellin the QB to just throw it to me in the huddle. Talkin landfill amounts of trash. I can relate to all of that. Hoppin over someone, I was speechless. It's being able to relate. I can't watch sports when it looks like the athletes are puttin in work. Sports shouldn't be that difficult. If it is you need to get your game up. I can agree, to an extent, with Boney.

This is not about showing someone up. If I saw my kid do that I would be all up in his chest. Who the hell are you to tell a grown man to check his emotions when you have no idea what he went through his entire life to get to that moment of joy? You miss the whole point.
