Total fake news. Maybe the worst basketball journalism in HISTORY. Many people are saying it. Very smart people!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>They claim I haven\u2019t won a game in 2026. WHO\u2019S KEEPING THESE RECORDS? Nobody knows! Probably the same people spreading the fake news. We need an investigation. A BIG investigation. The biggest investigation Grinders basketball has ever seen!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ball Don\u2019t Lie is a TREMENDOUS podcast. Incredible microphones. Beautiful microphones. The best microphones. But because of these vicious, totally dishonest attacks, we are NOT RECORDING THIS WEEK. We\u2019re taking a short break to let the facts catch up with the fake news. Believe me, it\u2019s the right decision. A very smart decision!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Now, have I had some setbacks? Maybe. A few setbacks. But I call them STRATEGIC LOSSES. Some people call it losing. I call it gathering information. And believe me, we\u2019ve gathered A LOT of information.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The haters say I can\u2019t win. WRONG! I can win so much winning you\u2019ll get tired of winning. You\u2019ll come to me and say, \u201cE, please, we can\u2019t take any more victories!\u201d And I\u2019ll say, \u201cSorry, folks. We\u2019re just getting started.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2026 isn\u2019t over. The comeback will be HUGE! Historic! They\u2019ll make documentaries. They\u2019ll name gyms after me. The Basketball Hall of Fame will call ME!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>And when I finally win, I want an apology from GNN, a retraction from Kip Spillowitz, and a personal phone call from every single person who ever doubted me. Get the phone ready!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>THE BALL MAY NOT LIE, BUT THE SCOREBOARD IS UNDER DEEP INVESTIGATION!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>WE WILL WIN AGAIN. BIGLY. MAYBE TOMORROW. MAYBE THE DAY AFTER. BUT SOON. VERY SOON.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>MAKE GRINDERS BASKETBALL GREAT AGAIN! &#x1f3c0;&#x1f1fa;&#x1f1f8;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is happening with GNN is a DISGRACE!
