Witness

Witness, Lebron, Dirty-Wade, rest of the world, Witness. The Boston Celtics just defined why I'm so fucking proud to be part of this great city and this great region. They just summed up what being knocked down and taking someones best punch only to get up again is all about. Ya Rondo was unreal, he defied medical diagnosis, and he has larry bird sitting in his rocking chair in French Lick, Indiana with all green on chuckling to himself while he smokes a cigar. Like jerry mcguire was right, that is what inspires people, heart. But excluding rondo, its the 13 other guys on that team rallying around each other and their fallen teammate. It's guys like Jeff Greene stepping up when it mattered most, and the Big 3 playing more intense than ever before, as if they were 21 years old again. They all put their arms around each other and their fallen star and said to the demons of the NBA, not today, not in our house, not in our city.

I think Mark Jackson put it best when he said, "for the rest of Rondo's career you can question every aspect of his game, but you can never question his heart." Well that goes for all those guys from Jermaine O'neal to Paul Pierce, you can question their age, their skills, their anything else, but not their heart, not their desire, not their will. It's undeniable. This is us. That's what the Boston Celtics have always been about, that's what this city has always been about, and these are the undeniable facts.

Celts Guarantee Reggie?

Hell-Our spies have informed us that Celts exec Danny Ainge is so impressed with BC point guard Reggie Jackson that he’s already guaranteed the Celts will take him with the 25th pick in this year’s draft. Ainge personally was on hand for a number of Jackson’s game, and is a tremendous fan. The problem for the C’s is that Jackson’s stock is soaring and the thoughts from scouts everywhere is that he will be long gone by then meaning that Boston will have to trade up to select him.

“Danny’s already guaranteed him,” a source close to Jackson’s camp told TKB. “He saw a ton of games at BC this year.”

Now this is really interesting. I kind of had a feeling the Celtics liked Jackson, I mean when there are 5 people in Conte and 3 are me, 3, and danny ainge, that's when you know a team likes a guy. They need some guard help, avery bradley struggles and Ray Ray is getting older so Jackson would be a nice playmaking fit. I still stand by my assertion that Jackson should return for his Senior year. I think he would be even higher than 25th next year, baring some freak injury. But hey, looks like he's staying in the draft so I guess we gotta live with that. From a pure basketball standpoint, it would lay an interesting future for the team with Rondo, Jeff Green, and Jackson, all athletic guys who can run out of the building. All in all, I don't hate this, hopefully Danny can make it a reality. In all seriousness, this such a Danny Ainge move. Who guarantee's shit? Why put yourself in that position? Danny is just such an interesting fellow, and this has gotta be some kind of fine or something right? Whatever. Keep it going Danny let's kick the Heat's ass tonight.

Is it weird that a Knicks blog is reporting this? I didn't even know the Knicks had a blog, didn't know they had the interest for that sort of thing. I guess this is what they can do with all the free time on their hands.

Ps. I hear Reginold looked fly at the Athlete Banquet last night, guess he's got that NBA draft swagg going.

-thanks ponz for the tip.
