    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Celtics forward Kevin Garnett has been playing pickup ball against current and former NBA players, Los Angeles standouts and college players at UCLA this week. Word is Garnett's team did not lose one game on Wednesday. Several attendees raved about how he dominated easily. On one play, he caught an offensive rebound on the block and jumped and dunked without taking a step.

    Word is Garnett and potential Celtics teammate Reggie Miller have been working out together at Pepperdine. He was there Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.</div>

    "That's it," he said by telephone from his home in Malibu, Calif. "Physically, I know I could have done it. But mentally, when you do something like this, you've either got to be all in or all out. And I've decided I'm all out.

    Allan Houston man. I don't where the Celtics would go wrong with someone 6 years younger and basically the same player. Allan's decision to go back to the court is official too, so I wouldn't be surprised if they looked towards him.

    Smart move, just would've tarnished his career IMO. Some players just never know when to give up.

    agreed, he made a good descision. I think Allan Houston actually might be able to come back though. The celtics could definitely be able to use his 3 point shooting off the bench.

    Houston has half a chance, depending on those knees. Reggie did the best thing and just left his legacy as one of the best pure shooters and scorers. He may have been able to add a little bit off the bench, but it's just not Miller time again!!!

    Yeah, I didn't like when MJ came back with the Wizards. It hurt his stats so bad and he looked so human out there. I'm glad Reggie Miller has decided to be smart and keep his legacy the way it is.

    Bring back Scottie Pippen. I've heard for a while that Pippen was making a comeback. The Celtics could sign him. They could use a "point-forward." lol

    ^I remember the whole thing about Pippen...what happen there?

    I think Reggie made the right choice. I guess when you have a hall of fame career like he did and never get a ring, then have a chance to join a team that has a chance of getting there really gets you thinking.

    I think Houston needs a Point-Forward, or do they have one?
