This is ridiculous.

“I don’t feel safe,” … “First, I thought it was a teammate just tapping me.”

Posey doesn’t feel safe and might have to go get treatment. Note to Boston Celtics: Don’t tap Posey. He’s sensitive.

The last thing you want as a mascot is to get Kevin Garnett pissed at you. Pretty sure the dude behind the mask was more than just sweating when he got KG’s intense glare.

Wow. Ok, so the mascot shouldn’t have shot TShirts at them, but NOT because it’s UNSAFE. I mean, c’mon…

Posey goes, “At first I thought it was a teammate tapping me”

and in the SAME BREATH he says that he’s now SORE and MIGHT NEED TREATMENT?! He’s GOTTA be joking…

GEE...Can someone get T-Mac a body cast says:

That mascot is the new intimidating force for the Bulls. Sad state of affairs. Even more sad that K.G. and Posey actually put that out in the media. Seriously you glaring and giving official statements on a mascot shooting you with a t-shirt. WOW!

CONSPIRACY THEORIES OUT THE A#%

Next K.G. and Posey will be claiming something against the dancers or senior citizens were wearing to much Ben-Gay on purpose to get them.

Stop it!

Celts Fan says:

na hoopsguru, try, “DNP – Sand in Vagina.” Christ, I’ve seen 5 year olds in the upper deck bare-hand those things. Should the mascot have shot at them? Obviously not. Should the mascot be punished? Absolutely. Should Posey be MUCH more ashamed of himself than the grown-man dressed in a costume, shooting t-shirts for a living and generally making a clown out of himself in front of 20,000 people? ABSOLUTELY! Don’t know why you’d ever bring that up to the media. “I’m James Posey. I’m a 6’7″ pro athlete who’s in the prime of my life and career and built like an absolute animal but I’m terrified of a guy in a mascot suit shooting shirts at me with the same gun they get shot into the crowd with. Waaaaaaaaaaaah.”

Celts Fan says:

there’s one excuse and one excuse ONLY to be afraid of a t-shirt cannon, and I’m pretty sure Posey isn’t related to Maude Flanders, so dude should probably just STFU.

andre says:

maybe if KG wanted to be more intimidating, he should roam the court with a t-shirt shooter. no way lebron would bring it in KG’s house with the constant threat of being hit with a t-shirt

I’m surprised this side of a guy named “Posey” hasn’t come out sooner … literally come out.
