Boston.com-
We know Wally Szczerbiak has fallen off the map a little bit since his playing days, but this is kind of mean.
The former Celtics forward is an analyst for CBS college sports, sitting in the studio during college basketball broadcasts. He actually does a pretty good job, but apparently he hasn't done enough to impress his own production team. The folks at Awfulannouncing.com pointed out that Szczerbiak was identified as "Random Dude" during a recent broadcast. Apparently someone forgot to take out the placeholder. Ouch.
Somewhere in there there's a joke about Celtics fans not being able to identify Szczerbiak, either. You know, because he wasn't very good when he was here.
How the mighty have fallen. Seems like just yesterday old Wally and his brittle ankles were raining 3 pointers from the Garden Parquet. Sorry, more like riding the bench in street clothes.
I don't really think people in production didn't know who he was. Conversation in the production truck prob went down like this...
"Hey, how do you spell Szczerbiak?
"Got no Idea bro, google that shit and find out."
"I can't right now man I'm busy."
"Alright, just put random dude down for now and fix it later."
Poor Wally. But hey, still beats being kicked in the face right?
