Did you ever envision that at some point in your life you'd be pausing to rationally consider the prospective length of time that two grown men will embrace each other for?
Yup

For reference: during Celtics pregame they showed 2 Posey hugs, both lasted approximately 8 (very uncomfortable) seconds.

Short.  Only slightly longer than KG gives to any other player, if any at all.  Posey doesn't start, and I don't think I've ever seen KG give an opponent an 'embrace' once the game has started.

I have to disagree!  There was no embrace during the ceremony or when Pose came in.  I think my inference that there could be no embrace at all is the winner!  TPs!
