Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce claim Brian Scalabrine used to be a nasty one-on-one player

Astute fans of Scal can recall when he played some fans who did not expect to get their posteriors handed to them.

It might surprise some younger fans of the Boston Celtics to learn present-day Celtics broadcaster Brian “White Mamba” Scalabrine used to be a pretty nasty 1-on-1 player on the court. At least, that is what his former teammates on the Banner 17 squad from 2008 say.

Speaking on a recent episode of the Showtime Basketball “KG Certified” podcast, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett shared their recollections of the onetime USC star’s mano a mano game back in the day in a short put together to laud White Mamba’s skills.
