Brian Scalabrine appreciation post
Happy 35th, White Mamba
Brian Scalabrine; pure shooter.
In other NBA news, THIS happened
The White Mamba - Brian Scalabrine
I’ll accompany this with a mix of the world’s greatest.
Around two hours ago, the Offseason asked readers to give the oft-neglected Brian ‘Veal’ Scalabrine a little love, by voting him the best player from USC. At the time, Brian was receiving less than 10% of the vote, beating only Nick Young.
We didn’t quite get Veal the glory he arguably doesn’t deserve, but we got him into 2nd place. Needless to say, the Lakers booth was a little baffled. Great work, everyone!
I imagine poor Scalabrine is still a little sad that the Celtics let him go. Let’s lift his mood using the power of the NBA Offseason, and let him know he’s the best Trojan in the league.
Go to the Fox Sports West site and vote for him—the voting panel is halfway down the page on the right. Let’s put a smile back on Brian’s dial!
Update: 5 minutes after this was posted, Brian has gone from 10% of the vote to 14%. Keep it up, guys. Give Brian the glory he deserves!
The Ginger Goes to Chicago
via ESPN Chicago:
Free-agent forward Brian Scalabrine has agreed to a non-guaranteed contract with the Chicago Bulls, according to a source with knowledge of the deal.
New Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, formerly a Boston Celtics assistant, wanted Scalabrine and pushed hard for him with Bulls general manager Gar Forman and vice president John Paxson.
Scalabrine, 32, spent five years with the Celtics and had limited playing time last season. He averaged 3.3 points and 2.1 rebounds a game in nine seasons with the Celtics and New Jersey Nets and made four trips to the NBA Finals, including a title-winning campaign with Boston in 2008.
Luke Harangody is the perfect replacement for Brian Scalabrine.

This is still a classic in my mind. Skeets goes in on the infamous “Simon Says” instrumental, produced by Pharoahe Monch.
Get the funk up!
