  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
So we all heard about this unknown chump going anonymous and having the nerve to call KG a punk and a coward without revealing himself.
I think this is basically just fuel for KG and more than anything will help the Celtics cause this season.
Just like Amare calling out BBD or D'antoni calling out Rondo.
All these morons just don't understand that you cannot 'psyche' our Celtics out. They just use to punish you or any other doubters even more.
Just for speculation who does everyone think it was?
I've heard people mention Noah but I think Noah respects KG more than that.
I thought it was great that Mark Jackson called 'Player X' most likely a bust and Van Gundy sad he most likely didn't make the playoffs.
My money would be on Reggie Evans of the Raptors.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

You mean Reggie "How's-your-Balls" Evans?  :D

My guess about Player X would be Bosh.. Cos' his knees are probably shaking with just the thought of facing KG in the second round..  ;D

It could be any number of people because that is KG's reputation.  And frankly it is probably deserved.

The source is supposedly an nba star, so that rules out Charlie and Evans.

I still think it's Perk upset at doing all KG's dirty work for the last 4 years

Interesting.

But just about any decent center can do what Perk did for KG, like JO is doing now.  Perk is not one of a kind.

There has been a lot of speculation in the past that Player X is Jason Terry - this is his fourth column - and this article seems to fit with that, after KG and the Mavs tangled earlier this season.

JO is not doing anything like what Perk did.  Not even close.

Yeah, that was my first thought as well.  

And my second thought was that it was Paul Pierce just messing around with KG.... lighting a fire underneath him.

  Perk's career will be doing dirty work and it's a role he seems to relish.

I agree, but I think he wants others doing the dirty work too. Not just him and then others getting all the glory
