Was it too soon to write this one? Yeah probably. I mean it was just 3 seasons ago that Wally "Blue Steel" Szczerbiak was outplaying Ray Allen in the conference semifinals. You do remember that, right? I remember thinking I was hallucinating that series while watching that. How the hell could Szczerbiak be outplaying a future Hall of Famer? Ray couldn't hit a bull in the ass and Wally actually was contributing more. As for the "Blue Steel" reference, perhaps some of you never saw the movie Zoolander, with Ben Stiller. Szczerbiak just reminds me of his character, and I've been calling him that for awhile.
Wally Szczerbiak was born in Spain but grew up in Cold Spring Harbor in Long Island and was the son of former ABA player Walt Szczerbiak (Walt was playing in Spain when Wally was born). I remember listening to Mike and the Mad Dog back when Szczerbiak was at Miami Ohio and he had his first Nationally Televised Game of the season on ESPN to Kent....
