The Boston Celtics have finally gotten around to putting together their first-ever dance team. Apparently, they’re just going to call them the “Celtics Dancers,” which is unfortunate. I was holding out hope for something like “The Paul Pierce Pleasure Crew,” or “The Girls of Scalabrine’s Weenie.” But, in the tradition of the Celtics, they’re playing this one conservatively.
Celtics.com has covered the historic proceedings with this blog. Some of the judges included former Celtics Ernie DiGregorio and Dana Barros, along with current Celtic Tony Allen. I’m sure Tony’s looking forward to getting to know some of these ladies better, and if you’re Dana Barros, hey, why not take one more shot with the old, “Baby, I’m Dana Barros” line.
Photos from the auditions are here and here.

Reports (from no less than the awesome “ESPN.com news services”) are surfacing that Kobe Bryant had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee this summer, and thus, won’t be suiting up for Team USA’s training camp, or pre-World Championship tour. The surgery itself is described as minor, but it is going to require 8 to 12 weeks of recovery time.
So Kobe adds his name to the list of players who have pulled out of the training camp, including Paul Pierce, Lamar Odom, and J.J. Redick. Pierce is having elbow surgery, Lamar Odom tragically lost his 6-month-old son Jayden, and J.J. Redick’s had problems with his back and a breathalyzer.
Kobe has an expressed a desire, to be with Team USA as he rehabs, attending both the training camp and this summer’s games, which seems like a much better idea than, say, rehabbing at a hotel in Eagle County, Colorado. He might want to avoid that.
