Lester Quinones Is Holding It Down For All Us Lester's Out There

It’s not easy out there for a Lester. It’s not a name that screams toughness. It’s the name you see stiched onto your mechanic who looks like he was born under the hood of a Ford truck and bathes in a tub of motor oil. Or it’s the name of your strange, racist country uncle who everyone in the family has blocked on Facebook.

This week, the Golden State Warriors signed Lester Quinones to a guaranteed contract for the remainder of the season and immediately upon sketching his finger over his phone screen on the DocuSign, my guy Lester wanted to beef up his stats a little and put pressure on GMs for his next contract.

So with the Warriors up 95-84 on the Charlotte Hornets with about 12 seconds left and both teams ready to check Twitter and their Instagram DMs, my boy Lester tried to get a quick bucket. All hell broke loose.

I know this struggle. You grow up being called Lester The Molester enough times and you’re ready to strangle the oxygen out of another man at work. Every Lester is burdened with this boiling rage we must harness and use as motivation to get out of bed in the morning.

I totally understand my g Lester out there trying to make his final stats look a little sweeter so he can keep his job in the NBA next season and suddenly he has to square up with a guy who shouldn’t even be in the NBA after beating the blood plasma out of his girlfriend. Miles Bridges is a cornball for what he did to that girl and absolutely deserves his ass beat.

BUT, it’s when Grant Williams enters the conflict where things go super left.

“You a bit*h.”

You cannot be named Lester and allow GRANT WILLIAMS of all people to get in your face without letting him know he is a bitch and Grant Williams, who is a bitch, just lets another man call him a bitch to his face and chooses to bark at Draymond Green on the bench instead of the guy who’s barking in his face,

I just want to say thank you to Lester Quinones for holding it down for all us Lester’s out there.
