That's it

He reminds me of M.L. Carr in the '80s, another Celtic who came off more like a fan than a player, and was loved for it.

I'll never forget how he would get up from the bench and swing his towel, whipping the loyal Boston crowd into a frenzy of cheers for the beloved Celts.

...but I hear Keef's married.

Tant pis pour moi.

This is a funny cartoon, the cleverest part being Brian Scalabrine's comment which is only a slight exaggeration of how males tend to exaggerate their prowess as time passes. Do females do the same thing?

But Scalabrine is a fine player, as his performance in this year's playoffs demontrates. He not only can score from outside, but he's a surprisingly nimble defender. Sure, he will never be an All-Star, like the Celtics' pantheon of uber-whites (Havlicek, Cowens, Bird, etc.), but he's an important part of the team, not merely the token white guy sitting on the end of the bench.

sounds like a nice Italian dish. Anyway, he played for USC & one year they sent UK packing in NCAAs, with him playing a big role in the game.

Didn't think at the time that he'd have the number of NBA seasons that he's had. He is a big dude, though.

He wouldn't speak or look at the Boston fans, wouldnt' give interviews and said that he hated Boston. Punching Ray Felix in the face and knocking him out in a game was pretty cool too.

Fuck yeah.

This reminds me of an interview with Steve Nash. I can't find the exact quote at the moment, but it was after he won MVP either the first or second time. Asked whether basketball was a "black man's game", Nash replied: "Yeh, but the ball doesn't know what colour I am."

I can attest that seeing Scal's play makes people cringe a little; he's a solid defender, but it usually means someone who's better can't play (KG, Powe, Perk, etc). But everytime he's on the floor, he's obviously committed to making the more hustle plays than anyone else.
