Extractions: Baker boxes out media Frank Hughes; The News Tribune WALTHAM, Mass. - Vin Baker can't seem to escape the controversy that dogged him in Seattle. On a day when rumors flew around Boston, Baker, now a member of the Celtics, failed to meet with the contingent of media gathered to speak to him on the eve of his first game against his former team. It is possible that Baker did not even know he was an unwitting catalyst for Tuesday's Keystone Kops-like day. But that is not very likely. Baker has known for more than a week that reporters traveling with the Seattle SuperSonics wanted to catch up with him when they came to town for tonight's game between the Sonics and Celtics. Those around the Celtics organization say that Baker hasn't been looking forward to meeting with the Puget Sound-based media. Not after his five-season stay with the Sonics ended in an ugly divorce last summer.

Extractions: McMillan lambastes Baker Frank Hughes; The News Tribune WALTHAM, Mass. - All season long, when Seattle SuperSonics coach Nate McMillan was asked about Vin Baker, he usually said, "I don't even think about that guy anymore," and left it at that. But Tuesday afternoon, on the eve of the Sonics facing Baker for the first time since trading him to the Boston Celtics in the summer, McMillan unleashed a tirade against his former player that seemed almost cathartic. "To me, it is nothing personal with me," McMillan said. "For whatever reason, he made it personal. When he left, he made a lot of bad comments about me and what I did to him. I thought that was wrong. I was really disappointed that he felt the way he did with all that I tried to do for him, as far as giving him an opportunity, teaching him whatever I could to play the game and be effective, and giving him opportunities to play when he sometimes didn't deserve it. "And he comes to Boston and says that I took him out of the starting lineup and I had no confidence in him and all these things. And he comes to Boston and he is playing a lesser role than he was in Seattle. So it is just sad. I think he had talent. I couldn't reach him, and I tried to, and it didn't work. It's as simple as that." McMillan is the second coach to lambaste Baker after splitting. When Paul Westphal was fired, he blamed Baker for almost everything that went wrong with the Sonics. McMillan said he made efforts similar to Westphal's, to no avail.

Extractions: NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA November 1, 2001 The Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA) is proud to announce Vin Baker as its 2001 SGMA HEROES Awards winner from the state of Connecticut. Baker, who hails from Old Saybrook, was selected for his outstanding hard work and dedication to the Stand Tall Foundation. The SGMA HEROES Awards are presented annually to those special individuals who, through their unique commitment and humanitarian spirit, have made an exceptional and lasting contribution to the pursuit of sports excellence, sportsmanship, participation or opportunity within their local community or beyond. Baker, an National Basketball Association player for the Seattle Supersonics, started the Stand Tall Foundation in his home state of Connecticut in order to provide opportunities for inner-city kids to advance both academically and athletically. Bakers foundation has raised more than $250,000 to offer disadvantaged youth full and partial scholarships to the University of Hartford, his alma mater. He continually raises money for other youth charity groups in Connecticut, as well as bringing in other NBA players and friends to participate in charity events and basketball clinics for the area youth. As one of the 51 state winners (including the District of Columbia) for the SGMA HEROES Awards, Baker will receive a $100 cash prize and $400 will be donated in his name to his favorite sports charity or organization.

Desktop SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER The welcome back was manifest in a half-hearted chorus of boos and a smattering of lighthearted applause. But any reaction, even a negative one, came as a relief of sorts from the medical tests and questions about his future that have haunted Vin Baker recently. The much-maligned Celtics center returned to Seattle last night for the first time since being traded by the Sonics, along with Shammond Williams, for Kenny Anderson, Vitaly Potapenko and Joe Forte in the off-season. He also returned to the Celtics after missing a game against the Sonics in Boston last Wednesday, being checked by doctors in a hospital after feeling lightheaded and experiencing heart palpitations earlier in the week. "The return is what I expected," said Baker, who had nine points in 16 minutes in Boston's 82-76 victory at KeyArena. "I heard quite a few boos, but I'm just excited that our team came out and played the way that we did and got the win."

Louise steps on the gas pedal just as police officer Harvey Keitel realizes what they're doing, the car zooms toward a cliff, and poor Harvey sprints towards them in slow motion, holding up his hand, screaming "Noooooo!!!!!!!" Well, that's me right now. My beloved Celtics are heading for the cliff. They just traded for Vin Baker. Vin Baker, left, underachieved after signing a seven-year, $86 million deal in 1999. (Me running in slow motion.) (Me holding my hand up.) (Me screaming.) ("Noooooo!!!!!!!") Vin Baker? Vin Baker? Vin Baker? Forget about the fact that he conspired with Derrick Coleman to destroy my fantasy team last spring. If the NBA ever handed out the Jim McIlvaine Award for "Most Untradeable Contract In The League," Baker would have at least two trophies in his living room right now. Seattle acquired him from Milwaukee five years ago, coddled one good season from him and then watched his weight soar and his stats plummet in the lockout-shortened 1999 season. Then, the Sonics gambled and signed him to a mammoth seven-year, $86 million deal and watched him turn into a "VH1: Behind the Music" special. From 1995 to 1998, Baker averaged 19.5 points and 9.5 rebounds a game. During the subsequent four-year span, those numbers dropped to a little more than 14 points and 6.5 rebounds. Yikes. He also gained an estimated 25-30 pounds, denied rumors that he was having problems with drinking and depression, feuded with teammates and coaches, went from Option A to Option D in the Sonics offense. ... I mean, even Michael Ovitz didn't fall this fast.
