It has been only a week or two removed from the Antoine Walker reality show. How close the top is to the bottom! Then along comes Rondo.
(I love Rajon Rondo. Recently I posted that I wish the Celts would get it on already and pay the guy. Unbelievable, I am thinking. He is getting his money. I am so happy about it.)
Now it is Wednesday and I am thinking Rondo, Rondo... shut your mouth. Rajon, don't you realize how much money you have just agreed to be paid? 55 million dollars. Many people are out of work. Companies are going out of business. And where Antoine came from, and where so many other NBA players came from in their childhood, blocks of people are living a life of substandard foods, clothing, shelter, learning, etc... There are kids in Detroit who never tasted fruit in their lives. Their neighborhood has no fruit for sale. Friends and relatives of NBA players have no employment. know what jail is, live a life of no hope. Raajo, when the game ended against the Hornets you coudn't have just patted Paul on the rear and said, " No hard feelings. Nice game Chris." I just hope that now you realize how wrong your reaction was and how negatively people look upon that sort of thing. You are going to get 55 million dollars, Rondo. Think about that. Think about the old neighborhood, think about Antoine. Think before you open your mouth the next time.
Once upon a time there was a great basketball player out of Roxbury, Massachusetts. His name was Jimmy Walker........... You see, y'all,I am still thinking about this whole business. It really bugs me.
