Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table At which he's fed.
Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts Anyway!
Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he Tries to think.
Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways To tax his ass Tax all he has Then let him know That you won't be done Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers; Then tax him some more, Tax him till He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in Which he's laid.
When he's gone, Do not relax, It's time to apply The inheritance tax.

Michael Jordan really scored THREE THOUSAND points in a single season (1986-87)
It hadn’t been done since Wilt in 1962-63, and it hasn’t been done since
The top three totals since are:
-MJ in 1987-88 (2,868)
-Kobe in 2005-06 (2,832)
-Harden in 2018-19 (2,818)
Jayson Tatum led the NBA this season with 2,225, Joel Embiid finished second with 2,183
To reach his total of 3,041, MJ played all 82 games and averaged 37.1 PPG, the highest non-Wilt single-season scoring average in NBA history
He shot a career-best 85.7% on a career-high 11.9 FTA/G that season
It was his first of seven straight and ten total scoring titles. Ditto for All-NBA 1st Team selections
In order to break 3,000, a player would need to average:
36.6 for 82
37.1 for 81
37.5 for 80
38.0 for 79
38.5 for 78
39.0 for 77
39.5 for 76
40.0 for 75
It’s not untouchable, but it might be close

RIP to one of my favorite guys I’ve ever known! Hearing him say his famous line “Yo Dawg” would instantly bring a smile to my face and I know it was followed by a laugh. Until we meet again my old friend I will continue to enjoy life just like you did everyday
