celtics roundup

[Josh Ozersky]

I don't think you could, Steve.  My point about Telfair is not
that he's a better all-around player than West.  He's not.  Maybe
he never will be.  But their point guard skills don't bear comparison.
I live in New York and have seen this guy play a lot.  I don't
think you realize what he is.  I know all about flashy, And 1!
pgs of the Cook, God Shaamgod, Pearl Washington type.  This
guy is another Kevin Johnson.
