Brown and to the 2024 NBA champion Boston [Applause] Celtics Mike back to you thank you Lisa complete and utter Joy it it just it has to be overwhelming and JJ Andor we’ve seen them all season long and it it comes to fruition here and just the way they handled this they’re the epitome of a team they’re always willing to credit the other person there’s no there’s no me there’s no I it’s always about their teammates the coaches the ownership their fans this is It’s just reflective of who these players are and Mike I I want to I want to say a couple things as a fan of sport as a fan of sport to know that these guys had a dream and committed to the work and committed to the craft every day they’re in the gym this is what they’re envisioning and you listen to them talk it’s better than they ever could have expected and you hear what Tatum said about it was all worth it you can grow through failure you think about him in 2020 to he didn’t have the playmaking chops that was needed to win this NBA Finals it was his growth through failure that allowed the Boston Celtics to succeed I have to give a shout out to Brad Stevens because that at the top of the organization trying to put together a team you stand fast in the face of the criticism about the Jays not being able to play together you have to make really hard decisions Marcus Smart was the culture Setter but to get better and to change your roster you were willing to part with him and then the gutsy decisions Mike you put a 34y old last year in charge of one of the storied franchises in the world unbelievable leadership from top to bottom he was the head coach for eight years now the president of basketball operations for three years and Stevens and his staff including his special consultant Jeff vany this year all part of it as the Boston Celtics from front office the coaching staff the medical staff training staff and the players it’s the first time in seven years the team with the best regular season record won the title it’s also the six different team to win the title in the last 6 years and for the Boston Celtics their first championship in 16 years and number 18 and they win it on their home floor in front of their adoring fans as the MVP Jaylen Brown caps off a magnificent playoff run a special night at the TD Garden in Boston and a special celebration out on Causeway Street much more to come as the Celtics win another NBA title

Adam silver got praised.
I am happy for Al Horford he dedicated so much time with the hawks and he finally got one with the Celtics before retiring.
Extremely Happy for Al Horford as well,, a pro's pro. never seen or heard anything negative during his career… Well deserved.
NBA have one of the worst trophy presentation. Too much talking, cringe interviews, suits no one cares about, handing the trophy to someone no one knows.
most boring finals ever lmao
Shoutout to GM Brad. When he moved off the bench into the front office, there were a lot of doubts. Bringing Al back, acquiring DW, KP and jrue will cement him in Boston sports history. IN BRAD WE TRUST
Jason tatum not completely happy.
Yessir my team final won the championship let go Boston
Bill Russel is proud watching from above
Kyrie must be steamed
Al was so happy โค
