Re: Newest NBA superstar!

Baloney, I saw the kid in Boston against Memphis. He was like a fish out of
water.
We we're and are trying to win games. OB is going to give the kid the ball,
yeah sure. I wish him luck and also glad he's gone. The Celts have a better
chance of improving with the trade and making the playoffs than he has
continuing his 2 game run. I was never a big rookie fan.
