Curt Schilling may love to stir the pot o’ controversy, but Tommy Heinsohn puts together the ingredients.

Remember when Schilling wasn’t “sure of any scenario more enjoyable than making 55,000 people from New York shut up?”

Four years later, thanks to new features on the Internet machine, Schilling can comment on pretty much everything sans a required press conference. School went beyond his team — and sport — to stir a subplot in the 2008 NBA Finals; in his blog, 38 Pitches, Schilling questioned Kobe’s style of leadership after sitting in The Garden’s Jack Nicholas seats in Game 2.

“… As a fan I was watching the whole thing, Kobe, his teammates and then the after effects of conversations,” Schilling wrote. “He’d yell at someone, make a point, or send a message, turn and walk away, and more than once the person on the other end would roll eyes or give a ‘whatever dude’ look.”

(Whatever. Love or hate Schilling’s diarrhea-of-the-mouth, there’s never constipation.)

In response to those comments, fan-favorite Celtics color commentator Tommy Heinsohn spoke his mind, too. But unlike Schilling’s lengthy blog entry, Heinsohn cut right to the chase.

“If I was playing with Kobe, I’d want to lay him out,” Heinsohn said on FSN Comcast Sports New England on Game 4’s pre-game show.

I LOVE WALTAH.
