Celtics lose #1 overall Draft Pick!
Believe it. Celtics fans' worst fear has become a reality: The Celtics have lost the #1 overall draft pick. The #1 pick of the 1998 draft that is.
Michael Olowokandi is done for the season with a broken bone in his foot, although when reached for comment the Kandi-Man insisted the diagnosis was glaucoma. "Das' some good weed," Olowakondi said through squinty, bloodshot eyes from his bed at New England Baptist Medical Center. Olowokandi also reportedly asked his physician if he qualified for the Make a Wish Foundation.
What does this mean for the rest of the Celtics season?
Coming off last night's impressive win against the Raptors, this is a real momentum killer. With Olowokandi in street clothes, the Celtics oldest active player is only 29, and the bench is now 7 feet shorter and 270 pounds lighter. The Celtics also risk losing their major fan base of University of the Pacific alumni, a powerful faction of the green and white that is believed to be the only demographic of TC Banknorth Garden attendees besides Wyc Grousbeck that cheers for Lucky during timeouts. Also look for the Celtics offensive production to take a hit (no, not that kind of hit Kandi Man!), a 1.7 points per game hit.
Kandi man was a driving force down the stretch during the Celtics' recent defeat of the Spurs for the first time in a decade. He will be sorely missed down the stretch of this season, a season that could be his last in Auerbach green.
When the rest of the Celtics finish up their season on April 18 and leave the Garden to watch the playoffs at home, the Kandi man's his season will just be starting. You see, 4/20 is only two days after the season finale this year, and broken foot/glaucoma or no broken foot/glaucoma, you better believe the Kandi man will be there to usher in the stoner holiday. "'Shit's like christmas!" Olowokandi has said about his favorite day of the year. Amen Kandi, Amen.

Michael was also recently quoted as saying he doesn't smoke anymore because "it makes him feel funny." I thought it was a rather astute observation although I am not sure that wasn't the desired effect.
