Congrads to Antoine

[Berry, Mark S]

Oh please. Sure, with Shaq at center and Dwyane Wade at guard, a team
could win a title with ME at small forward.

Please, please ... I'm begging you ... let's not go overboard on the
Toine stuff. He got his ring, it never would have happened in Boston and
I hope I never have to think about him again.

Yeah, it was great to see Antoine celebrating last
night (and with a mini-wiggle thrown in during his
great 3rd quarter run).  I did have a tinge of
jealousy though; I wish he could have had that moment
with the C's.

But at least we can now settle that age-old debate: it
turns out a team can win a championship with Antoine
Walker as it's starting small forward.  And to think
nobody believed me when I said it was possible.
