I can totally see it.
To me it looks like Drake and simple jack had a baby.

Personnally I am happy that the Celtics did not draft Ball. I think his father could end up being a meddling and disrupting factor that will make the fan experience less enjoyable.

I don't watch a ton of college ball, so checking out Tatum's highlights, he's like the son of Paul Pierce.. Same fluid movement and deceptiveness, shot selection and range. Except maybe a bit quicker and he's an inch taller, he just needs to bulk up a little.

I like Tatum too. I think he will bulk up. Here's a couple of pictures of him.

He's clearly making progress in adding muscle.

Dude thats so funny.. it really does.. holy **** lmao

Hes one of my favs ever to wear green but I go back and forth on his number being retired. I'm good either way.

At this point 34 is the priority.

On another note Tatum looks like a smart pick. I honestly can't tell the difference but he is 6'8 looks like he already has an NBA body.

If they can trade for Paul George for maybe the lakers pick and sign Hayward, now we could be not only building for the future but possibly going to the Finals.

I have no idea if its even possible for them to acquire both players but having Horford, IT, Hayward and George.. now that is not bad at all.

He's so unlikeable.

Jackson is far more unlikable but nobody really cares.

Wyc basically guaranteed it's happening. He played just enough that I okay it.

Somebody needs to teach that kid some manners. Disrespectful little prick.

My issue is for the non career Celtics he'll be the only one with less than two titles. I guess Pierce is in that bunch but I view him in a different light.

At any rate I'm ok with KG being up there.

With that logic you can argue Ray Ray should be hanging up there but that'll happen before hell freezes over

Naaah Ray wasn't nearly as good. Only played 5 years, choked big time in the 2010 Finals (may or may not have had to do with MWP punching him in the groin). Shame we didn't get the 3-peat with a healthy starting five. Legacies are much different.

Ray was better than DJ and KG was better than Max but it's all about the gold.

EDIT: DJ is better. Someone hacked my Pats fans account. Must be the same guy who hacked Revis'

Not sure how many they win but a combo of a healthy KG in 09, a healthy Perk in G7 2010 and a healthy AB in 2012 there is one more title there somewhere.

KG was the catalyst on that team. Both offense and defense. Everything ran through, esp when we needed a bucket or stop.

KG is so underrated. The Wolves barely tried w/ him and his competitiveness is unmatched.

*Side Note* Rondo might be the most overrated Celtic of all time. I cant believe we never cashed his useless ass in.

In my home office I have a great framed pick of KG and Bill Russell embracing after winning #17. I love that pic

KG represented Celtic Pride to a T and the fact he showed so much respect to Russ, LB, etc makes me more than comfortable with his number being retired. For me it's a matter of # of titles but exceptions can be made.

Rondo is a child. Needed constant supervision. A very strange human being.

 

[Vindicate]

Belichick's 2nd round picks are often all about gambles on pure talent over production and/or injury, the Easley pick was all about talent without regards to injury or anything else, etc....

Ras-I Dowling comes to mind. Lmao did that dude ever step on the field?

I get that and KG is def exception material. Plus I think the fact that he delivered when called upon. That team really had a 2 year run and 1/1 you have to take with a smile imho.

Plus the picks we got lol

I think he's fairly likely to be mediocre anyway. He's going to have trouble getting that shot off in the big leagues. Certainly he won't be able to shoot going to his right. I don't think he's quick enough to guard small guards and strong enough to guard big guards or athletic enough to get to the basket.

Ray was a better shooter than DJ, that's it. And if I had to choose one of them to go to war with, it would be DJ all day everyday.
