When you're a living legend, no one is off limits to take shots at.
Brian Scalabrine, now part of the broadcast team for the Boston Celtics, did not hold back taking a savage shot at Oklahoma City Thunder swingman Paul George at the end of the Thunder-Celtics game Friday night.
Well this is pretty harsh from Scalabrine, even referencing the Gatorade commercial when George does hit a game-winner in.
This is kind of par for the course for Celtics broadcasting who, led by Tommy Heinsohn, have a reputation for being some of the biggest homers in all of the NBA. After this comeback win on the road against the talented new-look Thunder team, Scalabrine couldn't help but rubbing it in.
This shot by George probably wouldn't have even altered the outcome with the Celtics already up five in the final seconds, so the shot by Scalabrine was even more uncalled for, yet still funny considering Scalabrine's legendary story.
It will be interesting to see if word gets back to George regarding these comments and if he confronts Scalabrine or looks even more motivated to play well the next time the Thunder take on the Celtics. More than likely, he'll want to be better and get a win for OKC regardless.
