It may not have felt like winter in Arizona, but super-agent Scott Boras arrived carrying armfuls of gifts in the form of Christmas-themed puns and one-liners. And though he missed an opportunity to refer to one of his big clients as Kris Kringle, Boras made up for it when talking about one Bryant’s former (and future?) teammates.
“Old Saint Nick delivers once a year,” Boras said, teeing up the zinger to come. “Young Saint Nick delivers all season. So you’ve got a pretty good market for that kind of player.”
While I’ll award points for the unadulterated dad-jokiness of the whole thing, he might be overselling his client’s delivery range just a bit.
