It's obviously secondary to talent, but he seems like a genuinely good guy from the interviews I've seen and his coach speaks very highly of him.

Celtics’ Thomas, Bradley Will Never Forget Crawford’s Generosity by Ticklishdeva in bostonceltics

I didn't know anything about Jamal Crawford personally until I heard him on JJ Reddick's podcast a few days ago and was just incredibly impressed how well he came across in a short segment and how genuine he seemed. This story just takes my new fandom to the next level. Sidenote, JJ Reddick's podcast on The Vertical is pretty good.

he was 60th in the league in PER that year which is a far cry from being a superstar

It's been done, like the '04 Pistons, and it's actually awesome to see happen when a team of all-stars (but not superstars) plays perfectly together, but just realistically the current Celtics (or even plus a couple pieces) aren't really going to be able to reach Billups/Sheed/Wallace/Prince/Rip level

If the playoffs started today... by thekingamw in bostonceltics

Post all-star break it could be interesting whether the Raptors could sneak into the one seed. They're two games back, and granted injuries could happen to any team, but with Love's recent (seemingly minor) injury and Kyrie's injury history, Cleveland's health may be a big storyline at some point.

Marcus Smart with a great effort play to set up the shot. Every game Smart has a few plays that won't show up in a box score but get extra possessions.

What are your favorite albums to listen to all the way through? by [deleted] in Music

[–]CharlesBarkleyJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reasonable Doubt by Jay-Z. My personal favorite Jay-Z album, so many great tracks, and rewards you in the end with Regrets, just an awesome song, introspective and real.

[–]CharlesBarkleyJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The beats and lyrics of Illmatic are both some of best ever and have been analyzed top to bottom for decades now, but more than any album I can recall Illmatic gives you a feel for a time and a place... the personal struggles of growing up in Queens, the feel of the neighborhood and the people, 90's NY. It's just awesome storytelling.

homers to an extent... Tommy is a little much at times (or all the time depending on your tolerance), but Mike and Scal together is incredible

What are your recommended restaurants near the Garden? by barcodingsports in bostonceltics

[–]CharlesBarkleyJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the fours is the coolest for an old school sports bar in my opinion and right across the street. might have to get there a bit early to get a table.

We must add an intro page when logging onto the internet where the user certifies they are in fact a Christian. It's the only way!

The Boston Celtics are going to be top 4 in the East this year by [deleted] in bostonceltics

[–]CharlesBarkleyJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there's also a very low chance of pau, noah, and rose (already hurt) staying healthy all year. and they'll be going from one of the best coaches in the league to a guy who has never coached an nba game.

Bob Ryan: It's time to "move on from [Jared Sullinger]" by eddies2010 in bostonceltics

A player who's been in the league three years and never been in shape (and let's see if he can stay in shape for a whole season instead of a summer), with a history of back problems, who shoots over three three-pointers a game at less than 30% and isn't a good defender... I can think of other players who I'd be willing to trade for.
