Research shows that when a straight male takes off his shirt in a room with large sweaty men, it’s a lot less exciting than when it happens with sexy dancers.

Big Baby, we’ve seen your man-boobs already before, drenched in champagne with dudes. But that’s not how a World Champion should roll. Why not provide a better scenario like, oh, say, a bar with skimpy Celtics dancers that would do anything to “make the team.”

Shazam! Welcome to July 24, 2008, where anything is possible! (Just ask Michelle Tafoya — KG said so). Big Baby served as a judge in last night’s 2008 Celtics Dancers finals at some sketch-lookin’ bar.

The NBA was brilliant in coming up with these type of advertisements: Videos where two opponents are split down the middle, look you in the eye and rattle off a motivating monologue that pumps you up more than the Rocky soundtrack.

Then they asked Magic Johnson and Larry Bird to do it, and well, it just wasn’t the same. As the two legends were telling me how rivalries remain and the feelings remain the same, I couldn’t help but wonder how many takes it took each man to complete the 24-second ad. Bird’s droopy eye had me feeling like he would pass our any moment.
