Reggie working out hard

[Sean Giovanello]

I heard it today.

Bird was pretty funny and basically (by not denying) admitted the Pacers
arent in the same class as the Celtics now  though he did say regardless of
how you look on paper you still have  to play the games.

Reggie said the Boston offer was interesting because they had emptied the
roster to get Allen and KG and that there would be an opportunity to play a
major role for a full season.  He sounded like he is fired up about it and I
would be surprised if he didnt sign with the team.  He said his role would
be to stretch the floor and drill open jumpers - something he knows he can
do.  DP asked him about his relations with Pierce Allen and KG and he
replied - I have lit them all up so we get along fine.  DP asked about Doc
and Reggie laughed and said he lit him up too.

I thought it was interesting that KG (as far as I could tell - had a phone
call in the middle of ride home) joined him in the interview by walking over
to Reggie's house and ringing his doorbell.
