Alright, let’s gab about this Jonathan Mogbo fella and this NBA 2K25 thingamajig, whatever that is. Kids these days with their video games, I tell ya. But hey, if it gets folks talking about basketball, it can’t be all bad, right?
So, this Mogbo, they say he’s a basketball player. A big one, like them fellas who wrestle under the basket for the ball. He ain’t no little fella, that’s for sure. They say he’s 6’7″, that’s taller than my Billy, and Billy was a tall drink o’ water, God rest his soul. And this Mogbo, he’s got arms like a dang windmill, 7’2″ they say. Means he can reach things most fellas can’t, I reckon. Good for grabbin’ them balls, I suppose.
Now, this NBA 2K25, it’s like a pretend basketball game, but with real players. They give these players numbers, like they’re cows at the market, but they call ’em “ratings.” The better you play, the higher your number, see? Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo, they got the highest numbers, 98 they say. That’s pretty high, I guess. Like the price of eggs these days, higher than a kite.
They gave this Mogbo fella a number too, in this 2K25 thing. I don’t rightly know what it is, but folks are lookin’ at it, talkin’ about it. They look at his “offense” and his “defense,” like he’s some kinda soldier boy. They even talk about his “badges,” like he’s some kinda sheriff. It’s all a bit much for an old woman like me, but I’m tryin’ to keep up, y’know?
- NBA 2K25 Ratings: Them young fellas in the game get a number that tells how good they are, like them cows at the market.
- Jonathan Mogbo’s Rating: People are lookin’ at Mogbo’s number, seein’ if he’s any good.
- Rookies in NBA 2K25: There’s a bunch of new fellas in the game, and they get numbers too.
They say Mogbo is a good rebounder, which means he grabs the ball when them other fellas miss. That’s important, I hear. You gotta get the ball to score, right? Like when you’re makin’ biscuits, you gotta have flour. Same kinda thing. And they say he’s good at protectin’ the rim, which means he don’t let the other team score easy. Like a good fence keeps the chickens in, he keeps the other team out.
Now, this Jared McCain fella, he’s another one of these young basketball players. He got a pretty high number too, they boosted him up to 83. Folks say he’s the best of the new fellas, the “rookies” they call ‘em. Imagine that, being the best at somethin’ right off the bat. Reminds me of my Bessie, she could bake a pie that’d make you wanna slap yo’ mama, even the first time she tried.
They say the lowest number they ever gave a fella was a 40. Poor fella, must’ve been worse than my old rooster tryin’ to fly. His name was Brian Scalabrine, and he played for the Chicago Bulls. Guess he wasn’t much of a basketballer, but hey, at least he made it to the big leagues, right?
This Mogbo fella, they say he’s got a good “motor” and “BBIQ.” Whatever that means. Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in a car, not a person. But I guess it means he plays hard and he’s smart about the game. Like a good farmhand, knows when to plant and when to harvest. And they say he moves “fluidly,” like water flowin’ down a creek. Sounds pretty fancy to me. They’re even talkin’ about his “draft status”. That’s like gettin’ picked, just like you pick the best lookin’ tomatoes from your garden.
So, is this Jonathan Mogbo fella gonna be a big deal in this NBA 2K25 thing? I don’t know, and to be honest, I don’t much care. But it’s nice to see these young fellas workin’ hard, playin’ their games. Reminds me of simpler times, when we used to play hopscotch in the dirt. But hey, times change, and the games change with ’em. And if these young fellas wanna play pretend basketball on their fancy machines, well, more power to ’em, I say. As long as they stay outta trouble and don’t forget their manners, that’s all that matters. Jonathan Mogbo’s position, age, height, weight are all things they look at, like they’re buyin’ a prize-winning pig at the county fair.
And if you want to know more about this Mogbo fella or this NBA 2K25 game, well, you’re gonna have to ask one of them young whippersnappers. I’m just an old woman, and I’ve got more important things to worry about, like makin’ sure the chickens are fed and the garden is watered. But it was nice chattin’ with ya, and y’all come back now, ya hear?
