The Celtics have finally signed Glenn “Big Baby” Davis to a two-year contract. The roster appears to be set but 37-year-old Doug Christie says he’s ready to return to the NBA. I guess he’s tired of producing lame records and reality TV shows. Any chance he’ll be wearing Celtic green? I say, zero. We already have James Posey and there’s no money left unless Danny can swing a deal. What’s with the Geritol generation attempting comebacks? Guys like Christie, Charles Oakley, Allan Houston, Penny Hardaway and Reggie Miller need to be reminded the reason they retired in the first place – they could no longer hack it in the NBA.
As for other Celtics news, the Globe reminds us that KG is just an absolute workout warrior.
(Joe) Abunassar has been working out Garnett for seven weeks this summer, the majority of the time in Los Angeles. The regimen includes about 90 minutes of weight training and 90 minutes of basketball drills and five-on-five scrimmages. While Celtics training camp doesn’t begin until Sept. 30 in Rome, Garnett already seems to be in prime shape.
How can you not like this guy? I’m embarassed to admit I wasn’t behind the initial trade for him. KG is supposed to be in Waltham as early as tomorrow to join the other C’s already participating in pre-training camp workouts. In his blog, Rajon Rondo says he’s chillin’ in Atlanta and should be around these parts soon.
And yes Fire Doc, that’s three posts in the three days. The Viagra must be boosting my work ethic as well.
Allan retired because of INJURY, not because he couldn’t hang anymore..
Allan couldn’t hang anymore because he got hurt. And if the injury was so bad that he had to quit… it’s even more reason not to come back.
Allan should come back so he can pay back all that money he stole.
He was one helluva shooter….
Allan Houston is an extremely rich poor mans Steve Smith. Who cares if that makes sense.
i’ll just pretend i didn’t see doug christie and celtics in the same paragraph.
Word out of the camp of RFA. Charlie Bell suggests that Bell and not Christie may be next.
I have got to say, Doug Christie REALLY freaks me out. First of all, he looks like Austin Powers Mini Me from the neck up. Second of all, I think he and his wife are way too freaky and sexually explicit for me to even be able to look at him without thinking about it. I can’t respect him as a player anymore. They should just go off and live in a nudist colony or something and have lots of kinky sex or whatever it is they do…
