We nearly had a unanimous decision in matchup #4. Bill Russell got all but TWO votes in his matchup with Frank Ramsey. We'll see how he does against Reggie Lewis later in the tournament. Today's matchup is a doozy, though. We've got 13th overall seed Cedric Maxwell going up against 20th seed Antoine Walker. [...]
August 5, 2011 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized A few weeks ago, we noticed Dime Magazine doing a league-wide 1-on-1 tourney where fans voted on the winners. We thought it was a fantastic idea, so we… uhhhh… borrowed it. Except we're putting our own little twist on it. We went back through the annals of Celtics history and put together the ultimate 1-on-1 [...]
August 1, 2011 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized Antoine Walker's financial implosion is now well documented. His NBA legacy will now always be the guy who made over $100 million and went broke. And now, in a move that is either a step closer to rock bottom or putting his problems behind him… Antoine pleaded guilty to stiffing a casino Pro-basketball player Antoine [...]
June 29, 2011 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized Antoine Walker is trying like hell to make a comeback. Right now, he's averaging 16 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game for the D-League's Idaho Stampede. He's shooting an Antoine-esque 44% from the field and 36% from 3. Hell… he even busted out the wiggle! Well, now he's drawing interest from another [...]

February 13, 2011 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized All this Antoine Walker talk has some of us Celtics fans nostalgic. What better way to reminisce on 'Toine's time in green than this classic moment from 2002. Watch Bob Delaney cover his head in fear of being pelted by beer/objects as he scampers out of Staples Center. [...]
November 30, 2010 KWAPT Uncategorized Three-time NBA All-Star Antoine Walker has made numerous comeback attempts since last playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves during the 2007-08 NBA season, but the latest may show how dedicated he actually is at getting another shot in the NBA. Walker could soon be signing a contract with the NBA Development League, possibly as soon as Monday, according to league [...]
November 29, 2010 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized I've seen this song and dance before. And while I may be wrong… and this may well be different… I'm still seeing 2+2 here being written on the chalk board. Allen Iverson is getting no NBA offers. Nothing. It's his own fault, really, for not recognizing that his skills are in decline and he's not [...]
October 12, 2010 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized It's the middle of a heated playoff series between your favorite team against your favorite rival. Just like Rocky once placed a photo of his hated opponent Ivan Drago on his mirror, you do the same with Anderson Varejao, Pau Gasol, Quentin Richardson, LeBron James and yes, Kobe Bryant. You watch as they hound the [...]
September 15, 2010 Jay Uncategorized (NSFW language in video) Antoine Walker's comeback rolls on… with 'Toine trying to hook on, apparently, in Charlotte. But Walker does have a former college teammate and very close friend that plays for the Charlotte Bobcats, whose new owner isn’t just a living legend but another longtime Walker pal. So it certainly made some sense [...]
