» The obligatory and expected column from Simmons in the wake of the Celtics win...
(via peterwknox)
“Let the record show KG played one of his greatest games to help clinch a championship. It’s something Elvin Hayes can’t say, or Karl Malone, or Patrick Ewing, or Chris Webber, or anyone else from the not-so-clutch group that Garnett escaped. Much like John Elway after the ‘97 Super Bowl, any lingering questions about Garnett’s ability to raise his game in big moments vanished into thin air for good Tuesday night. They will never be asked again. It’s funny how a championship can do that”

“ ‘My dad bought tickets way up in the nosebleeds,’ Russert says. ‘I went down the aisle and tried desperately to get autographs. This one baseball player, Joe Pepitone, pushed me aside and I was crushed. I came back to my seat very dejected and my dad said, ‘What happened?’ I explained it to him and he said, ‘Don’t ever forget that. It takes as much time to be nice to someone as it does to be a jerk.’ It has stayed with me my entire life.

One of his favorite activities: directing boat traffic. When we move to HK I’m going to walk him right down to Victoria Harbour so he can have a look at all the cruise ships and the junks and the famous Star Ferry. He’ll probably go right out of his little puppy mind.
