Celticsblog has links up to a few Globe stories on Celtics superstar Brian Scalabrine, and not surprisingly, they're all very much supportive of the great things that he does for the basketball teamwaitasecond WHAT?

Brian Scalabrine is many things. The anchor of the All-Awkward Whiteboy All-Stars? Sure, he's co-captain with Mark Eaton and Danny Ferry. An inspirational story for anyone completely lacking in athletic ability and/or skill? Absolutely. If it wasn't for Brian, I wouldn't be declaring myself eligible for the NBA, MLB, and NFL Drafts without fail every year despite being born with no arms or legs - I know what you're thinking, and I type with my mind.

One thing Brian is not is a good basketball player. And I don't think that Celticsblog or the Globe's NBA beat writers would say as much if they truly fathomed the consequences of their outlandish statements. You see, every time you say "I don't think Brian Scalabrine is that bad," an NBA legend somewhere bursts into flames. So the next time you feel like trying to be nice to a guy making $15 million dollars for averaging 12 minutes a game and just under 2 points, please take a second to imagine what Bill Walton looks like on fire.

Okay, bad example.
