“I took a look at Baynes in the shower. He looks like ALL of Australia. He is really put together.” ------ I'm not sure dropping less than subtle references to the...err...hang time of professional athletes is a precedent that anyone wants set amongst filterless old men who cover NBA teams. However, if you are absolutely unable to hold your tongue about what you saw when the proverbial curtains got lifted then you damn well better speak glowingly of your findings. Let's just say this, I think this would be a far more egregious example of TMI if Tommy Heinsohn was throwing zingers about what Aron Baynes lacks "down under" in explaining why he's more limbering than lumbering in the post. I'm not entirely sure I understand what "he looks like ALL of Australia" means, but I'm sure the subject of that joke will appreciate the clear implication that he's tickling his knee cap when his compression shorts come off. The only person who stood to find themselves offended by this metaphorical pants'ing was the Celtics big (in more ways than one) man, and something tells me a white dude is totally cool with being made to sound like he still looks impressive naked while amongst predominantly black teammates. Now again, it's probably a good time to limit Tommy Heinsohn's behind-the-scenes access to somewhere short of the showers. After all, he's certainly not going to become any less susceptible to inappropriate dick jokes with age. Still, if you're going to talk about a basketball player being "put together" like he's a goddamn Erector set then it's best that said Erector set could be hazardous to even the most grown of adults.
