Lucky No More

what did the apperance on conan go to his head, and he demanded more money?

I remember Lucky from going to see the C’s BG (before Garnett). There were days when he had more energy than most of the guys on the floor. Sometimes the best part of the game was watching his acrobatic dunks and leaning over the rail from the balcony trying to get his attention when Lucky had the t-shirt gun in hand.

He also had that knack for getting local celebrities (Big Papi and Yoouuk in particular) to partake in various tomfoolery.

I wonder if there’s going to be a replacement…

I can’t stand all of that “game presentation” crap anyway: lucky, the cheerleaders, oboxious PA announcers, light shows, chatchkes dropping from little parachutes, girls on unicycles and all the rest. Maybe they needed that stuff when they had a 25 win team but they don’t need it now.

I wish Mr. Blust well in his future endeavors.

what sells the team is the team and the game itself. the rest is superfluous. i am sure mr. lucky was and is a good guy and a good acrobat.

The guy actually was a plus. I never warmed up to the cheerleaders or the parachutes and I hate the stupid little kids race on the tricycles but you can’t be an old fogie about it – it worked as entertainment. They have had some amazing national anthem singers, the Heroes Among Us is usually uplifting and the Jumbotron is worth a few laughs. Lucky just probably burned out and got back-talkin the boss. He is only a mascot.
