Shawn Bradley's situation kind of reminds me of Antoine's Situation back when he was with Boston....

Walker was expected(when he was drafted in '96) to be the "saviour" of the Franchise(although the C's getting hosed in the Tim Duncan sweepstakes played a part in that decision) and when he didn't live up to the expectations, and when Pierce arrived, Walker became the Scapegoat for all that is/was/will be wrong with the Celtics....

He has been Criticized, ridiculed, and disrespected just because he wasn't a so-called "STAR" like Pierce. People were killing him for playing the Point-forward role when they wanted him to be something he's not : A Power-Forward.
