it’s not a decision we take it all lightly uh the partner we choose not only has to be a partner that that holds those same standards has that same ethos has a commitment to the community and frankly are people that that we can Vibe with people that we really want to enjoy a partnership with over a period of time and uh am puts a check in every single one of those boxes uh as we’ve gotten to know amik and their team uh over the past year as we’ve been working on this partnership it’s become really clear to us uh that their ethos and their values uh are completely in line with the Celtics ethos
