The Metaphysics of the Jump Shot

 
Up the court under the press of the defendant
Preparing my offensive and my mentality is relentless
24 on the clock a lot of time to get my shot
They try to trap but sometimes you must pass the rock
Pass up the shot to get a better shot
Strategy along with agility is the reality of my lot
I sense my supporters motivating me to accelerate and dunk it like bad stock
High percentage efficiency but not as majestic as the finesse of the Jump Shot
But if it is open then I will drive in like the Audubon
I hold the pill like a bottle on a gun
To Silence ya
When I release the Jump Shot – the violence is done
I’ll murder it, speaking metaphysically
That means my energy utilized during my dribbling shaking and baking
Picking and rolling or giving and going
Just to separate myself from my adversary and get open
To pull up in traffic with precision not hoping but knowing
That as the time winds down the ball will go in
The metaphysics of the Jump Shot is in the follow through
The metaphysic of the Jump Shot can’t be seen by the naked optical
The skeleton of the Jump Shot is the silhouette of the perfection of Michael
While game winning in the finals
Double pump fake and at the precise pinnacle,
The climatic release of a perfect arch shot quiets even the cynical
And with hand still raised, the wrist prophecies the trajectory and the destiny
and the awe is seen in the pupils of my adversary
The metaphysic is colorless not Celtic Green nor Laker Purple
It’s odorless and not a belief, a guess or a wish
The Metaphysic of the Jump Shot is simply this
You can’t see it but you hear the Sssssswish
The metaphysics of the Jump Shot is not the audible; it’s the energy brought nova
Meaning you won’t get the essence of the Jump Shot until you learn how to crossover
