I don't cheer for anyone because my job is obviously more important, but the reason why I got into sports is because of my father. He's a giant sports fan and we are from New England, so he cheered for the Celtics and the Red Sox.
The Celtics are an amazing franchise and a great organization to play with.
This is the Boston Celtics. This isn't the Phoenix Suns. No disrespect to any other organization, but you don't hang conference titles. Do we hang going to the conference finals?
The only thing we know for sure about superiority in sports in the United States of America in the 20th century is that Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics teams he led stand alone as the ultimate winners.

Now every club promoter wanna bid like auctions, cause I pack shows, sell ticks Celtics like Boston.
I lived to play basketball. Growing up as a kid, Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics were my favorite team. The way they played, the teamwork, the sacrifice, the commitment, the joy, the camaraderie, the relationship with the fans.

When the opportunity arose for me to join an organization like the Celtics, I could not refuse.
Of all the four major sports, whether you like Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, maybe you like Bobby Orr, or you like Larry Bird or Tom Brady - Bill Russell is the greatest athlete to play in Boston.
I've been very fortunate to play for four great organizations, but New York really takes the cake. Wearing the pinstripes is something that's very special to me, and it's the greatest organization in sports history.
The Boston Celtics are not a basketball team, they are a way of life.
Boston is one of the country's more insecure cities and see you it in Celtics fans.
My most memorable moment came in 1985 as we beat the Boston Celtics.
Everyone knows my career was catapulted to another level when I got traded to the Boston Celtics.
That's one of the reasons I decided to come to Boston - to contend and win a championship, especially with the history of the Celtics and what they stand for.
