White IQ shirt is Leon Powe

Didnt Powe have a huge mole next to his nose?
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

He did/does. I saw Leon at a C's game during the season, he still looks like Leon.

How stoned is PP do you think?

Who’s wearing the IQ white shirt??
is that Eddie House?

It's the only player from the roster I think it conceivably could be, but it doesn't really look like him.
He wasn't on the chip team but I think it's Marcus Thornton.

Powe was their inside player. Offensive rebounder. They had a highly diverse team in '08. Everyone had a different role. It was a deep team. A great team.

Wyc decided after the '08 championship not to spend above the cap. So they let Perk and Posey go. And then KG hurt his knee, and the rest is history.

I'm not sure the condensed version you've provided paints the most accurate picture of post '08.

Timeline’s a little off, but sure. I’d consider him more “the perfect specimen of what a Celtic is, was and should be” than “inside player” and “offensive rebounder”.
My pic is now, and will be Fab Melo until he posts his first official NBA dbl-dbl. This may be permanent.

LOL some observations from the pic.

Looks like they took this pic after dinner. The table is virtually empty and the beverage glasses are empty. Looks like Genie got the bill, which would be just like him to pay. Who put a brush on the table? lol.

Also looks like Garnett did not drink which will not be surprising since he is so hyper.

Would've loved to see Big Baby with that group. He was one of my favorite players that season.

I’m sticking with a weighted Gabe Pruitt. He’s from LA and hasn’t played pro ball in over a year.
