Who Told Him This Was A Good Idea?

No frills here, Byron Russell says he wants to make a comeback.  The man most known for this...

...says he wants to comeback and play in the NBA and says he can come back and play 20 minutes a night.  Did I miss something here?

The same Byron Russell that, at 38, hasn't played a meaningful game in the Association since 2005.  The same Russell that hasn't played more than 20 minutes a night since 2001-2002. 

Well, actually, let me apologize for my negativity.  He said in an interview that he "works out every day" when talking about his desire to play for the Boston Celtics.  If you put it that way Byron, then I'm sure you can just bop back into the league.  Who am I to think a guy that's been out of the league for two years couldn't come back to a team in March?  If he really has been working out, then that's all I need to know.

Come on.  Working out?  That's all you have to say to prove that you're going to be able to play 20 minutes a night?  And with the Celtics?  Wow, what a sacrifice.

Ultimately, I can't get too mad at Russell.  He's clearly delusional with this idea, but I've always felt bad for the guy.  He had a decent career, was a good defender, but is obviously only remembered for one thing.  

Too bad.
