THIS is why I LOVE Al Horford - from ESPN recap

[Admin]

Horford, a rookie who knows a thing or two about winning from his two straight national championships at Florida, tried to fire up his teammates by showing them a video of Muhammad Ali's stunning win over George Foreman in 1974's "Rumble in the Jungle."

This upset was hardly of that magnitude, but it did give the Hawks a glimmer of hope in a series that already looked to be over.

Horford even showed a bit of contempt for the big, bad Celtics after hitting a clinching jumper with 22 seconds remaining. He got right in Paul Pierce's face, prompting the Boston star to walk toward the Atlanta bench, jawing and flashing hand gestures before he was yanked back.

Horford danced away and kept right on talking.

Fuk the Celtics. KG has been talking smack to Horford since the last regular season game. They have no business whining now when Horford goes back at them.

Hey that was 5 games of getting dragged and countless ESPN stories about how scared the Hawks are worth of frustration coming out.

Rewatching the highlights on NBA Fastbreak...yup, Pierce was definitely throwing up the B's.

So Paul Pierce is a gangsta now?

LOL @ that. Paul Pierce needs to calm down with that.

Inglewood is a city of LA. There no real sign for them. B'z and C'z are gangs.

Blood

Yeah I'm well aware of who they are, I didn't see the sign that he put up so I can't really comment.

I thought this was the sign for the Bloods?

I think the one you have there is for Blood Killer, hence the BK label at the top..

Lol, what a crazy conversation this has turned into after a great Hawks win!

This is my sign to Paul Pierce - we call it the Great Aussie Salute....

They have different signs for different messages.

The meaning of the sign shouldn't hold as much weight as the intention; although, it is hilariously Thug-tastic and fun to talk about. The intention of the sign is much different from that of what Horford did. Horford's taunt is an in-game action, whereas this beaten punk decided it was to be made personal. Very weak on his part and is far less classy than anything Horford could have done or said. What a clown.

Anyone else think future Hall of Famer is a rush to judgment about Pierce? I admittedly know little about his career, but ... thoughts?
