Pocket Full Of Posey

James Posey's mouthTwo days before the Boston Celtics beat killed destroyed slaughtered massacred the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals to win the championship, Marc J. Spears of The Boston Globe was busy campaigning for James Posey.  The same James Posey who was a solid contributor to the Miami Heat’s success prior to the team’s complete collapse.  The guy is a relentless defender, is known to consistently knock down a three from the corner, and wears the coolest mouth guard currently in production.  I would turn in my ballot now if Obama chose Posey as his runningmate.

Anyway, back to the Boston Globe article.  The Celtics may be at risk of losing their big three, and I am not talking about Pierce, Allen, and Garnett.  How about the other big three: Posey, Eddie House, and P.J. Brown, who were all huge pieces of the Celtics puzzle that made their wagon roll over the Lakers?  All three of them are joined by one common factor: they share the same agent.

Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports may have been the loudest man in the arena on Tuesday night.  Actually, Garnett was pretty loud in the postgame interview, so maybe Bartelstein was second loudest.  Posey, House, and Brown will all be unrestricted free-agents this offseason, and you better believe that Bartelstein will mention the NBA championship in this offseason’s negotiations.

Posey’s girlfriend recently gave birth to a baby girl, Sai Aleke.  Time to get his baby and his baby’s momma some dollar dollar billz yall.
