Why I decided to check on the Kings and the Celtics during a commercial break in Monta’s Buck debut? Probably because I figured the Celtics would be up at last 10 or 15 points. What can I say? It’s no secret that I’m not the world’s biggest Kings fan. Much to my chagrin, it turned out Sacramento was not only winning, but doing so fairly handily. It also turned out that Tyreke Evans, although not playing, was making his presence felt at whatever they’re calling Arco Arena these days.
When I flipped to the game it was just returning from a commercial break. I was forced to watch Boston’s broadcast ’cause they’re my local team. Anyway, they were doing their little injury report, so they panned over to Sacramento’s bench for a shot of the aforementioned Tyreke Evans. At that point it was as if I’d just stepped outside on a sunny winter day, or turned on the lights after sitting in the dark for three hours. I’m telling you, I was blinded.
Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a little bit. In all seriousness, though, even Mike Gorman and Donny Marshall couldn’t help but notice the gleam coming from ‘Reke’s wrist. I did some research (logged on to Twitter), and voila! A closeup of the iced-out time piece had been posted just a few hours earlier. I was damn glad to find the photo because there was no way I would’ve been able to go back and get a screenshot… Boston is blacked out on my League Pass Broadband.
I’m no expert on watches, so I could be way off here, but what Tyreke is wearing appears to be a fully-flooded Breitling Super Avenger. I have no idea what he paid for it, but here’s a similar one going for just under $50,000… or approximately one percent of his ’11/12 salary. Consider my feelings hurt.

I’m a fan of the gold Rolex myself (I see you, Tyrone Corbin!), but for stunting purposes this is a flawless choice. It costs almost as much as a brand new E Class and gets noticed by 60-year-old white dudes. Tyreke didn’t even take the court, yet he hurt the feelings of many Bostonians last night. I applaud him for his impeccable swag. Note that the matching earrings are probably worth another vehicle, and that he also has a ridiculous chain and pendant.
