Quentin Richardson’s Private War Against the Celtics Rages on

by Marcel Mutoni

Last year, Q-Rich inexplicably (though, hilariously!) began popping off at the mouth about the Boston Celtics. And of course, despite the verbal bravado, the results for Richardson and the Knicks remained the same: Boston routinely humiliated New York on the court.

This season, Q has a bold new tactic in his never-ending quest to slay the men in white and green.

Since he and everyone else knows that the Knicks have no chance on the basketball floor against the Celtics (even when they’re short-handed), he’d like to settle matters away from the bright lights of NBA arenas. Preferably, in a dark alley somewhere.

From the Boston Globe:

“I think a few of those guys know they can’t just say anything to us,” said Richardson. “I’m just real curious to see what those guys will be saying if we weren’t in a basketball league, and didn’t have referees. I mean it wouldn’t be the same story. I mean they are the world champions and rah-rah-rah, but the tough part I don’t factor.”

“I come from a neighborhood where you can say what you want to say, but ’til you do something, it don’t mean nothing. Some of those guys are happy to get a ring, but you ain’t been in the league long enough to talk to people like that. I don’t have a lot of respect for that. Like I said, I’d be curious to hear what they have to say in a different setting, I’d be very curious to see that.”

It’s painfully evident that Quentin Richardson was born in the wrong century. He should totally have been a cowboy in the Wild West. His spirit is too free, too wild for these placid times.

    @ Cizzo: Okay, so what you’re saying is that athletes shouldn’t be tough. Oh okay, so what sport are you watching? Curling?

    @lenjac: since when does inner city mean just black? it can mean poor white trash, hispanic, asian, etc….don’t try that ish on here…q is an idiot…when was the last time his game was relevant, depaul? it appears the knicks are having a ginormous inferiority complex when dealing w/the celtics, maybe they’re haters disguised as a basketball team.

    @Crook : Anal Circles….hahahaha..Im asking for your permission to use that phrase in my weekly report..please man

    haha..Quentin is crazy weird – how did he start up a feud with Boston anyway…? Why? They basically ignore him as an organisation up there in Beantown.

  • Tommy Vercetti

    Q-Rich just jealous the only ring he will ever get is a wedding ring.

  • Seth

    Quentin is a dumb mofo. Really, he’s tougher because he grew up in rough surroundings. Where does he think about 99 percent of US players grew up in? Does is he think the Celtics players came from picket fence suburbs. The wacked out turd probably thought he was playing the 1980s Celtics.

    And talk about a guy who has no claim to swaggering about winning. He’s been on ONE winning team he’s entire career.

    Dacre, it really ain’t big at all. Q would like to think it’s big. But yes, we just ignore him.

  • nastierthanyou

    It just goes to show that ignorace is cage-less cell.

  • Crook

    @Reno: By all means use it if you wish. Until the Knicks get much better and start beating The Celtics there isn’t a rivalry. A rivalry can consists of hard fought (figeratively) games for years if both teams respect/dislike each other (key word RESPECT). Eddie House can talk trash b/c he serves a purpose and has his whole career, Richardson can not b/c he doesn’t and never will serve a purpose in this league. The biggest excuse for being tough (an anal circle) is to say you’re from the hood. There is a difference between being tough and being a man..toughness comes out when needed.

    Let me explain something, Q from the Southside of the Chi. On the tip of the Wild Wild Hundreds. Anyone from the Midwest knows what time it is over there. Q ain’t no punk, so for him to come out like this about them, he knows something we don’t.

  • f**k New york

    southwestside,
    you obviously need to shut up cause u obviously know nothing about basketball, and o yeah its basketball people kinda talk trash buddy

  • lewis

    I would love to see richardson to meet leon powe in a dark alley. I really don’t think he’d be as tough as he is talking. Just read up on Leon. Furthermore, the league should be suspending him for physically threatening remarks toward another team. Can you imagine in the real world one of your coworkers saying the crap Q said and having no reprocussions? Not just Quinten, a lot of pro athletes need to be treated like men, not coddled and excused for
    being total punks. Just saying……..

  • Nick

    Q-Bitch is popcorn soft. He wants to distract the public from his horrible performances on the court by countinuing to whine off the court.

  • perkisabeast

    The only guy who would be an even fight for bitchardson is Eddie House or Coach Tibedeau
