Quotable Delonte West: Redz Revue

September 7, 2010 at 1:10 am by Thomas Halzack

It is in good fun. It is a look back at Delonte West in all his off beat quirkiness by Jack Jemsek of Celticsstufflive a few days ago.

Maybe he will be a bit more serious going forward this season. I don’t know. I’ve always liked Delonte, but I also thought a little less ‘funny’ and a little more ‘serious’ might help him focus on growing his game. But I don’t walk in West’s shoes. I don’t have any idea what rolls around in his head either. With slightly bent humor that’s across between Jack Handy’s Deep Thoughts to his own version of The Ladie’s Man of SNL, he inhabits the Far Side kind of look at life. He is cool in an artistic and off beat kind of way. He plays basketball very well.

Hoop it up, Delonte… and be yourself. Or is it… find out who you are. Some vicious balling this year might be good therapy and good for the Celtics. In the meantime, as summer slowly rolls toward the finish line….

Here is the link to the Return of the Redz Revue.

Celtic fan since the latter years of Bill Russell’s unprecedented run. Played (not very well) lots of ‘school lot’ ball growing up on the mean streets of Stratford. Okay, so Stratford doesn’t have mean streets. Loved the game then. Still do. With a Stevie Wonder jump shot, I prided myself on defense. And pretty good passing. Though witnesses have yet to come forward to corroborate those statements. B-ball is the most interesting game in the world, requiring the widest variety of mental and physical skills of any major team sport ever created. The games within the game multiply its attraction. Birth of a Blogger About six years ago, I discovered internet message boards for Celtic fans. Four years ago, in cooperation with the Connecticut Post, we created CelticsCentral. The timing was fortuitous. As a writer with press credentials, I observed up front the Celtics amazing run to their 17th championship banner. I now write for Celticsblog.com, as well, one of the top sites for Celtic basketball information. I have written for CelticsStuffLive at Wicked Good Sports, Comcast Sports Net –New England. My writing has also appeared on Bleacherreport.com and Foxsports.com (Court Awareness) Agree or disagree, but feel free to join me in the conversation.
