is there a way to embed the video in the post? I normally just post the link and it embeds it, but this time there is just a link?

If you are on Youtube, click "Share" --> "More Options" --> then click "Long Link"

Scal's a talented basketball player who had a few good moments with the Celtics. 

In my opinion, he never actually lived up to his own potential as a C.  I think he got a little lazy and self satisfied based on his ridiculous role as human mascot for this team.  Or, maybe, the whole thing was just too embarrassing for him to consistently perform up to his own level.

 Either way, I wish him well in Italy.  It seems like it would be a good place for him to start the second phase of his basketball career.

During the years the Celtics won the title and were in contention, Scali did exactly what was asked of him.


Let's be honest, he is a 10 minute a game player at most.  His best role is as the guy who can sit for multiple games but when injury (or foul trouble) hits, he is capable of stepping and playing good team defense and maybe hitting an outside shot (bonus). 


Celtics didn't have that type of player last year.  They had talented player sitting on their bench, but they needed constant time to be able to step in for the most part.
