Bulls mascot reportedly shoots T-shirts at Garnett, Posey
The Chicago Bulls (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=chi) players don't have much bite these days, but the mascot isn't messing around.
According to a report in the Boston Globe on Wednesday, Bennie the Bull shot T-shirts out of an air gun at Celtics players Kevin Garnett (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3007) and James Posey (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3341) during Tuesday night's game.
"I felt threatened," Posey said, according to the newspaper. "They already don't like me here already."
Posey has a history with the Bulls. A number of hard fouls and confrontations when he was a member of the Miami Heat (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=mia) led to him being booed every time he touched the ball on Tuesday. "I don't feel safe," Posey continued. "The T-shirts were fired out of that gun or whatever. I feel a little sore in one spot. I might have to get treatment. First, I thought it was a teammate just tapping me. But then I looked down and there were T-shirts and there were only two down there. Let's see how the league handles this."
After the incident during a timeout with 2:49 left, Garnett glared at the furry Bull.
"We exchanged words," Garnett said, according to the paper.
Stop crying.
