New respect for Benny The Bull
Posted by pistonsnationHooper, take note!
bostonherald.com: (via: TrueHoop) Last night, in the process of the Celtics completing a series sweep of the Chicago Bulls for
the first time since 1986-87, Kevin Garnett and James Posey engaged in some late-game trash talking with Benny the Bull.
“Bulls can talk,” said Garnett, who initially was upset after he and Posey were hit in the back by clothing fired from a T-shirt launcher during a timeout in the closing minutes of the C’s 106-92 victory. “Walking off the floor we got hit by some shirts.”
Garnett initially had to be restrained by a member of the officiating crew as Benny stood a safe distance away.
“I turned around, saw the guy in the bull hat, and we had some words,” Garnett said.
Posey, not a favorite in Chicago dating back to when he was a member of the Miami Heat, cringed in mock fear.
“I don’t know – I feel threatened,” Posey said. “I don’t feel safe. They really have tough love here, but it was definitely an inside job. They made the mascot do it. I got hit in the back walking away. That spot on my back is sore. I might have to get treatment on it.”
How funny is it that tough guy Kevin Garnett had to be retrained from going after Benny while Posey laughs it off? Let me know if anyone comes across video of this.
