None of this stuff is a big deal, but IT is getting more and more annoying with each passing day.
Its not surprising. He builds his whole identity on me against the world etc etc. Hes got a mega chip on his shoulder and an inflated ego.
It was awesome when he was here, but now hes gone and the Celtics are part of 'the world' that IT is against. Now he wants the spotlight so he can stick it to us. He wants everything to be perfect while he basks in his adoration and then "puts on a show" to send a message of F you to Danny Ainge and the rest of his doubters.
The Brinks stuff was annoying, the brinks sandals were annoying, the ripping on Danny Ainge was annoying, suggesting the Celtics medical staff lied to him was annoying, and now him demanding that his tribute be moved is once more annoying.
He's still IT and I still love him. Hes not any different from the guy he was when he was here, but I really just wish he would shut up. Would make it easier to think of all the awesome stuff he did when he was here.
When someone mentions IT I dont want the first thing I think of to be all this bogus drama hes caused since getting traded.
Same with Jae. I want to remember Jae for helping turn the team around, for his play that made him a fan favorite. Instead Im starting to think of Jae as the thin-skinned guy who chose his own fanbase as his source of motivation.
It sucks. Those guys were awesome.
