Aaron Nesmith: Hard-nosed sniper

Aaron ThreeSmith came out of college with that reputation of a knock down, bullseye hitting, stone cold shooter! What Celtics fans saw was this dude has all the tools, and works hard in practice to be out there - and now with new Coach Ime Udoka, he could get some decent consistent minutes.

Last season Aaron started up a bit slow, catching up on everything. Granted, that could have been because of Brad's sometimes calculus type offense and defense. Yet when he finally had a grasp of everything, he was ready and able to be a contributing member to the Celtics. He could knock down threes - get to the hoop - crash the boards with reckless abandon and become a dawg on D.

During Summer League his progress looked like it was on the same path and his trajectory was on target. If he can continue to work and progress, there are regular minutes for him alongside the Jays. Imagine him just doing his thing as JB and JT drive and kick to an open guy in him. It's Lights Out!

For Celtics fans, getting Aaron and PP in the same draft is a steal. If he continues to climb that mountain and improve his game, the sky's the limit. He just needs to go out there and seize the day!

A sorrowful farewell to Kitty's Restaurant (North Reading, MA) as a family tradition

Time to say "Goodbye" to Kitty's Restaurant - my family's destination and tradition for six generations and more than 80 years. My memories of Kitty's go back to the early-1950's . I would accompany my dad and grandfather on fishing trips to the Ipswich River in North Reading, Massachusetts - followed by a visit to the restaurant on Main Street. In later years, my wife, Linda, and I would eat there with our two kids, Marc and Lisa - and years later - with our two grand daughters - and still later - with our great grandson, Carson. Author and family at Kitty's approx. 10 years ago Kitty's never disappointed. The drinks were big and well-made . The food was terrific - as were the portions. The service was exceptional and we became well-acquainted with the waiters and waitresses. It all worked so very well for many decades. My grand daughter, Courtney , was particularly fond of the restaurant. She was born with cystic fibrosis , and during her fr...

Wemby versus Kareem as rookies

We already know that the Spurs Victor Wembanyama is going to be an NBA phenomenon, but will he surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by the end of his career. It is highly likely. I did a "per-36-minutes" comparison between the two stars, mainly because Kareem logged 43.1 MPG in his rookie campaign - while Wemby has been held to only 29.4 MPG. Kareem: 24.1 PPG - 12.1 RPG - 3.4 APG - .518 FG - .653 FT Wemby: 25.9 PPG - 12.9 RPG - 4.5 APG - .463 FG - .796 FT No blocks, steals or 3-pointers were looked at since they were not tracked in Jabbar's first year in the NBA. It should also be noted that Kareem was 22 years old at the time, while Victor started at age 20. Two factors favoring Wembanyama ultimately surpassing Jabbar on any "Best-of-All-Time" charts are his point guard skills , shared by so many European players. and the fact he is being mentored by Gregg Popovich. His potential seems astounding. But the question remains. Can he garner six Titles and six MVP ...
