  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
I was listening to Full Court Press, the show today was hosted by Ian Eagle and Dee Brown, and one of the guests was Mitch Lawrence.

Some things he said:

"I..I don't want to say anything. Im not on the Pharrell show (on Howard Stern Radio, so he could swear), I'd rather not say anything about that."

"I've had enough KG to last me the next 10 years"

"From what I've seen, from him talking on the court and off, the guy is not what you'd call a classy winner."

Now these aren't verbatim, its just drawn from memory...but I think yall get the gist.

"You've gotta respect a 15-percent 3-point shooter. A guy
like that is always lethal." - Evan 'The God' Turner

Who cares what he thinks; he's our winner, and that's all that matters.  :)

Mitch Lawrence = Moron

Yeah, he was so "un-classy" when he was being treated like Timber-leftovers in Minny.  He did all the terrible things like making fun of his ownership and management, complaining about his cast, talking in the media and on YouTube.....




wait, that's Kobe who Lawrence loves more than life itself (example of his flattery: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/2008/05/31/2008-05-31_kobe_bryant_and_los_angeles_lakers_go_fr.html)

I thought it was classy that KG gave a shout out to Minnesota almost right away.

Other than that, who the heck is Mitch Lawrence?

I'd take KG's "classlessness" over that demonstrated by the Lakers' players, coaches, and fans any day.

KG has the best work ethics of anyone in the NBA.  He plays his heart out every game and does not diss his teammates publicly or show a me first attitude. He realizes there is no I in TEAM. KG maintains a class most professional athletes cannot began to be measured by on and off the floor.

These haters are stretching when they start calling this young man classless. It's one thing to dislike someone, but the truth speaks volume. I'm glad Paul Pierce developed into a great player, but without KG, Doc Rivers and the Celtics would not have been hoisting that trophy in the air Tuesday night. KG carried this team when Paul nor Ray played good during the early playoffs.

Yet, it was great to see all three play awesome during the final game.  My hat is off to KG and the whole Celtics organization.

I don't have a clue who Mitch Lawrence is but did you know that my neighbor, Billy Lawrence said, "KG was an emotional wreck after that game. It shows how much of himself he throws into the game and how much he wanted to be crowned a champ."

So if you don't like what Mitch Lawrence(who?) said maybe you'll like what my neighbor Billy Lawrence(probably equally as famous as Mitch) said.

  • I left Indiana. Because it was horrible.
I can understand the KG hate from people who hate the Celtics.  He's intense, and his demeanor demands a lot of attention.  If you don't understand his overall intensity, you'd just assume that he was a cocky jackass.  But it turns out he's not yelling to or at anyone...he's just yelling.  If I saw KG in a pickup game, I'd assume he was a jerk without getting to know him.
CB Draft Bucks: Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Tobias Harris, Zach LaVine, Aaron Afflalo, Jeff Green, Donatas Motiejunas, Jarrett Jack, Frank Kaminsky, Lance Stephenson, JaVale McGee, Shane Larkin, Nick Young

DKC Bucks. Also terrible.

Mitch Lawrence writes for the NY Post. Most people don't think its worth the 25 cents it costs you each day. Mitch is an example why.
