“That Guy” Is At It Again

If Bill Simmons wants to be a crummy reporter, that is one thing. But he presents himself as a real fan as well as a reporter. He may be a crummy reporter, but as a fan he is absolutely despicable. The way he publicly threw KG under the bus when the Celts were going through tough times in the playoffs last year made me sick. He wrote that if the Celts didn’t win the championship it would be KG’s fault. That was ridiculous and it clearly shows that Simmons is an idiot. Even before the Celts won number 17, Celts fans should have been praising the day that KG came to Boston. If BS wants to be a reporter and criticize Celtics players and their coach, fine. And as a fan, there is a time and place to criticize your team and its coach. But real fans don’t public launch a viscous attack on their the character of its team’s leader, especially a great guy like KG. Real fans support their team and its players, especially during the hard times. After KG screwed up on offense a few times in crunch time, real Celts fans had his back and encouraged him. Ever since that article I have boycotted Bill Simmons when before I had been an avid reader. BS is fond of writing “my beloved C’s” but as a fan he willfully let the team down when real C’s fans were encouraging the team. As sweet as it was for KG and the Celts to demolish the Lakers in Game 6, it was all the sweeter that it was in BS’s two faces, as was the Game 4 comeback. Boycott the BS! That Benedict Arnold doesn’t deserve to call himself a Celtics fan. Since I’ve been boycotting BS, so I don’t know what he wrote after KG and the Celts proved him wrong. But if BS has been trying to bask in the glory of number 17, as is the right of all true Celts fans, that is wrong. He doesn’t deserve it.
