Re: Greg Minor

Well it matters to me.  It matters knowing that the Celtics have a deadbeat
dad on their team.  It matters to me that the guy doesn't even care about
his own chidlren.  It matters to me that he feels no inclination at all
towards helping them.  That matters to me a lot.  If Antoine Walker was the
same, I would want him to be dumped off the team too. I guess its just a
matter of priorities, but on my priority scale family goes way before
basketball.
