- Jaylen Brown said that when he committed to Cal., his mom made him call every other school that pursued him. Some took the news better than others, as John Calipari even hung up the phone on him (while Roy Williams showed love): “It wasn’t no ‘good luck.’ It was nothing.”

00:00 - Jaylen Brown compared guarding Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving to listening to music 🎶 “Luka has a unique rhythm. It’s almost so slow that it’s hard to time. Kyrie has a unique rhythm … I look at basketball as [music]. Everybody is playing their song … If you want to stop them
00:00 - One of my favorite bits around is the national media failing to understand that the Patriots don’t play in Boston
- A reporter asked Joe Mazzulla if he watched the fights last night. “Those aren’t fights,” he answered.
- Payton Pritchard refused to force shots to break Boston’s single-game 3-point record: “That’s disrespectful to the game, disrespectful to my teammates. If I got in the flow and took a shot that was a good shot for us, and I broke it that way, then that's the right way to do it.”

00:00 - Payton Pritchard shared an old photo of the Celtics on one of his IG accounts. The 2022-23 season feels like a long time ago.
- Brad Stevens didn’t shy away from why the Celtics traded Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis: “The second apron is why.”
00:00 - Jayson Tatum showing the city of Boston some love on his IG story ☘️
- Jrue Holiday wasn’t in Boston for long, but I don’t think any Celtics fans will forget this moment from the 2024 title run. He’s a two-time champ for a reason.
