Boston PF/C Kelly Olynyk’s strong showing in Friday night’s home loss to the Lakers apparently caught the attention of MC/thespian powerhouse Sir Mix-A-Lot, which not only struck the Boston Herald’s Steve Bulpett as newsworthy….but me, too!

After the rookie’s 25-point, seven-assist game against the Lakers, Mix (we call him Mix) tweeted, “Hey @BillWalton does @KellyOlynyk remind you of anybody? Long hair, smart player, fundamentally sound. .?.?. I’m just saying.”

“It’s pretty cool,” Olynyk said yesterday. “I mean, you don’t realize all the people that are noticing you. It’s kind of interesting — especially from a guy like him where you’ve heard a lot of his music. It’s pretty cool.”
