I. Love. Delonte.

On Thursday I didn’t have enough time to write a full blog on Delonte’s return to the Celtics, so I gave you guys the Blog Before the Blog. It’s not the Blog I’m gonna bring to the club with me and show off to everyone, but it’s the Blog that gets the ladies thinking about that hot tub. Now I got the real fresh-to-death Blog on Delonte being back in Green.

Basketball Angle: Exactly what the Celtics needed. Out of the three backup guards, West is the one that will get the most minutes. He proved in Cleveland he can be a very reliable NBA shooting guard, and he also has the versatility to play the point. As much as I loved what Nate Robinson gave us during those last two playoff series, I’m glad we didn’t throw all our eggs in his basket as the “offensive-minded guard off the bench.” And since neither Nate nor Delonte are particularly strong defensively, this gives Avery Bradley a chance to show what he can do.

Entertainment Angle: I’ve always been fascinated by this man. Who could have predicted when he was being the man at St. Joe’s that his career/life would have played out like this? Personally I think his KFC rap/video is hysterical. NBA players are pretty funny overall and he kinda separated himself from the field with that performance. Not to mention I really appreciate his neck tattoo. Go big or go home, right?

LeBron Angle: Do I really believe the story about Delonte being involved with LeBron’s mom? Uh yes, actually I do. But regardless of whether or not it’s true, LeBron probably thinks about this at some point everyday. I doubt he gets a phone call from his mom and is able to keep that thought out of his head completely. It’s like I always say, “Once your mom has an affair with Delonte West, you never stop thinking about it.” So when the Celtics play the Heat in the Eastern Confernce Finals, Delonte has to start giving LeBron’s mom phone calls again, right? I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was written somewhere in his contract, to be honest. LeBron can talk all he wants about how he is always 100% focused on the task at hand. But when Delonte runs by and gives him a little pat on the ass, we’ll see what he’s really made of.
