Secret Identities III
May 10th, 2009
Miami, FL
The guy talking to Paul Pierce is one of the best pure shooters in the NBA
and had one of the best playoff runs Mr. Black has ever seen in his last series versus the Chicago Bulls. Ray Allen was taking more shots than a sorority girl on spring break, and knocking them down like Pistol Pete Maravich. He was an absolute assassin, killing the Bulls at key moments and hitting game-winning shots, shots to put games into overtime, and shots to kill momentum.
But we all know Walter Ray "Jesus Shuttlesworth" Allen could shoot, but like a true legend he took the stage and showed us a whole new part of his game. Like Jordan coming back from baseball with a sick fadeaway, Ray suddenly developed something totally unexpected -- defense, and that's what is making his playoff performance special.
Which makes Mr. Black wonder, is Ray Allen harboring a secret identity? He looks strikingly similar to Mos Def. Mos is a rap legend. Mos spent years putting out amazing rap as half of Blackstar, and just when we started to think he was just part of a great group, he starts dropping amazing solo records, the last which was a hard rock-influenced sound we had never heard from him and pushed his musical talent further.
In addition to that, just when we all thought, "hey, that Mos Def is a talented musician," he starts to take on more and more crazy acting roles, holding his own against Jamie Foxx in "Collateral," as an action guy in "The Italian Job" and "16 Blocks" and in a variety of comic roles.
Odd, but both of these two guys continue to show that they have many, many sides...perhaps there aren't really two guys, but a single, super-talented guy. After all, Brooklyn and Boston aren't THAT far apart, right?
