Just When you Thought The Celtics Couldn't Get Older

They contact Reggie Miller about coming out of retirement. First off Reggie Miller was one of my favorite players when he played, partly because he was a complete dick at times, partly because he tortured Knick fans but mostly because he was so damn clutch. He would hit the most ridiculous shots to win games for the Pacers, the only problem was he was their best player every year. And he never had someone his equal on his team so they never came close to surpassing the Bulls or winning a title.

But that was a decade ago. Earlier today I mentioned they wanted to get Mutombo and while that was moronic atleast it would fill a position of need. The Celtics have no center of value. Ok so what do the Celtics have now, hmm two SG guards in the tail ends of their prime not to mention the fact that they signed Eddie House and the only thing he does well is shoot.

So what the hell kind of role would Reggie possibly fill on this team? The article said 15 minutes off the bench. What does that get him like 4 or 5 shots maybe? When Reggie was at his prime he just ran around and used screens all the time, would the Celtics actually run plays for a 42 year old who's been out of the game for two full seasons? I just don't get you Danny.

REGGIE MILLER!? Why not just bring back Sir Charles, Rodman, and call up a big man like Ewing.

Maybe he was playing NBA Jam and thought he would fit in well.

I bet the next step is that Danny becomes a player/GM and Kevin McHale resigns as Minny's GM to play alongside KG and Danny.

Hopefully Danny is talking the the Chief or Pervis Ellison too. Unless they keep with the white stiff routine and go after Vitaly Potapenko.

Reggie Miller was unreal in NBA Jam. Just send him turboing down the court to either corner and lob him the ball from the defensive end. It was sure fire three every time.

I'm pretty sure when he was on fire you could make full court 3 pointers. Now they just need to bring back the pride of Marist Rik Smits and they have the old NBA Jam team back together

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
