ANTI KEVIN MCHALE PAGE
Throughout his Celtic career, Kevin McHale has always been the lowest of the low.
I know all you Kurt Rambis fans deep down inside have a deep hatred for this man due to the cheap shoot he took on Kurt.
The Boston Celtics were a dirty team. Allot of people credit the late 80's Pistons as the "Bad Boys." But in reality, the Celts were just as dirty. Many times during the Lakers head to head match-ups with Boston, fights broke out. Riley loved the open-court game with Magic Johnson. He talked of Lakers basketball being poetry in motion and the Celtics being Neanderthals. People, he said, wanted to see "Showtime," not some scrum match under the basket. The Celtics-Lakers showdown in the 1984 NBA Finals changed after Kevin McHale took down Kurt Rambis on a lay-up attempt. Kevin McHale complied , after being yelled at by M.L. Carr for being a wimp, in the second quarter when he clotheslined Kurt Rambis on a breakaway lay-up, causing a ruckus under the basket. The Celtics wrestled control of the series from the Lakers. His closeline cost us a title. Maxwell, on the other hand, was overjoyed with the development. "Before Kevin McHale hit Kurt Rambis, the Lakers were just running across the street whenever they wanted." If he was really a man, he wouldn't have resorted to the cheap shot. Had Kurt seen it coming, McHale would have had big problems.
