    ...from Celtics teammate Kedrick Brown

    Not that interesting, but in addition to just being comfortable with his number, maybe Vin's also a D. Adams fan. :D

    Whatdoyouget when you multiply six by nine? ;)

    Wow, to use, $10,000 dollars is a lot, but to Baker, it's couch change.

    this part just cracked me up. Rather subtle.

    And coming to a place with so much tradition I thought it would be a great thing. I want to end here and I want to end in this number. It's one of those lucky number type of things."

    In the Celtics' first practice Tuesday, Baker couldn't make it all the way through. Vin Baker sprained his left pinkie, but he was not expected to miss any practice.

    CK, it's just a reference to the D. Adams I mentioned. If you ever want a fun read, you should try this cult classic.

    I've read the books and I think you meant to say What do you get when you multiply six by seven? Of course I didn't need to read the books to tell you that. :D

    B, believe it or not, I can do simple multiplication. ;) Reread the end of the first book when they're pulling the Scrabble letters out of the bag.

    I shouldn't be wasting server space, but I love those books, and just love talking about them.

    At the end of Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy that happens? Man I must be slipping! I just listened to it on audio tape about 3 months ago! I must be getting up there in age.

    Juan Dixon bough the #3 Jersey from Haywood apparently. Do these NBA players actually need $10,000? Jeez. Anyways, Haywood went back to double-zero. When I heard the reason Haywood had #3, I couldn't believe he just didn't give it up for free. The reason was because John Starks was his favorite player.

    :confused:
