Big Baby is a way better defender than Bass. I think he has quicker feet too, which is absurd given his girth. But think about it, Baby has nobody to keep him in check in Orlando; his nickname is Big Baby for cryin outloud.. what do you really expect from a guy with Baby in his nickname..
He needs guidance. And he had that here in Boston. How quick ppl forget all the games he won for us.. The millions of charges he took for us??? The Shrek and Donkey show anybody??? Playoff Buzzer Beater in Orlando??? Taking over for KG when he went down??? Guarding Dwight Howard like he was 7 feet tall??? Knocking over that stupid lil Floridian kid??? Really guys?!!?
Too many memories with Baby for you guys to be bashing him like this... and honestly, Bass isn't much of an upgrade offensively and he's a downgrade defensively.. Much love to Baby... even if he is a knucklehead... he was OUR knucklehead.. Heck... he's still our knucklehead at heart.. #ForeverCeltic
C'mon man lets get real here and put sentimentality aside for a second.
This guy is fat. There is no ifs or buts about it. He obviously puts very little effort into being a professional athlete.
This guy is getting 6 million per for:
21 minutes / 7 points / No assists / 5 rebounds / No blocks / 38% shooting (He was as low as 34% a few weeks ago)
It got to a point that Orlando's home fans would boo baby whenever he attempted one of his brick 20 footers.
This guy has clashed with his new coach, NBA fans, and referees on several occasions this year in an embarrassing manner. I could honestly list 4 or 5 different occasions where baby has acted like a complete clown this year.
The fact that he was traded for a guy who:
1. Is athletic
2. Is about 4 million this year and nowhere near the contract length.
3. 30 minutes / 12 points / 1 assist / 6 rebounds / 1 block / 48% shooting
just rubs salt into the wound for him.
You come to the conclusion that this Boston Celtics team of the past few years made Glen look waaaaaay better than he actually was, and you regret not having Bass in the years when this team was far stronger.
