I'd like to thank KG for returning in the fashion that he did. He took a 50% pay cut, no fanfare, didn't hold us hostage by being courted by half a dozen teams even though nobody would have blamed him, made the decision quickly enough so that Ray knew that the gang would be here waiting for him if he decided to come back, and allows Danny the freedom to work his magic.

He will go down in history as the greatest team player of all time not only on the court but off of it. His contract says that he gets paid 11 million...what a steal. Marc Gasol, Nene, and Tyson Chandler all got over 13M last year in free agency.

I really do think that the Miami game 6 "Let's go Celtics" chant sealed his decision that Boston is the only place he'd play and the emotional hug with Doc at the end of Miami game 7 sealed the fact that Doc is the only coach he'd play for.

Thank you KG!

If he were Dwight Coward, he would have based his decision on tweets from random strangers.

KG is the real deal.

If every human being were like KG, the world would:

A. Find world peace.

or

B. Turn into the Amazon.
My pic is now, and will be Fab Melo until he posts his first official NBA dbl-dbl. This may be permanent.

It might be cuz I'm on my 3rd IPA of the evening, but nevertheless you sent shivers down my spine. Well said, well done, TP to you.



EDIT: It could also be the AC. It is freaking hot here in NYC.
Celtics fan for life.

Yes -- thank to KG.  Now it's time for DA and owners to show their gratitude by pulling out ALL the stops to make this team a champion.
