I'm Not Freaking Out About Avery Bradley's Poor Knockout Showing But I'm Not Ready To Call It Nothing Either
Not to brag, but knockout with NBA players is what you call, right in my wheelhouse. Ever since losing to Walter McCarty at the Red Auerbach Basketball Camp at Brandeis, this is something I take very seriously. Yesterday, Avery Bradley and Cedric Maxwell were in Belmont to help unveil a neighborhood court built by Celtics and Arbella and I’m trying to, but I can’t think of something I’m more jealous of right this second. Need that basketball court. Need to find a way to get adopted by the Goentzel family.
The point of this blog however, is what happened once the gloves came off and they broke in the court. Now viral videos of NBA players murdering little kids will never get old, but sadly, this is not one of those videos.

Just moments after talking about how he isn’t afraid of any guard in the league, whether it be Kyrie Irving, Steph Curry, Dame Lillard, didn’t matter, Avery would bet on himself. As jazzed up as that makes me to read, after watching him get bounced so early in knockout now has me questioning everything. Maybe it’s the fact that we’re ending August and still have weeks before camp opens, but this is not what you want to see coming from your longest tenured Celtic.
Either Ainge needs to sign that kid ASAP or Avery needs to get back in the gym because I won’t sit here and second guess everything I’ve grown to know and love about Avery Bradley. Can’t do it, won’t do it.
