Speaker 1 (00:02):
What it feels like to play for the Celtics, right,
it's truly in the privilege. Just put this jersey on
every game. It's an honor. You You tapped into history,
you tapped into legacy, and Paul peers with one final
farewell gift to a franchise, a fan base and a city,
the culture. You know, it's all about winning. The one
(00:26):
thing I would say is it's really a winning environment,
winning atmosphere. How tweet it is, how sweet it is
if you're the Boston tell the responsibility, accountability, humility. It
takes a lot of talent and a lot of pride
and a lot of team work to win a championship.
Its inspiration, it's legendary. It is better seventeen. They all
came to them so proud of them. You just feel it,
(00:50):
and you know that it's different up here. It's almost
like the crowd is like a living organism just breathe
in as with you. It's a boat of energy that
you just kind of absorb. It's almost like you feel invincible.
It's the fourth of July, you know, it's probably we're superheroes.
(01:10):
Tailor round, Papa, take all that you're in Boston, It's
something that I didn't even expect to that extent knowledge
of the game. I think that's the biggest thing in
Celtics fans have over a lot other bands. It's kind
of like everybody knows miss play all time. Ask any
(01:34):
player who was put on a Boston Celtics uniform and
they'll all tell you the same thing. There's something different
about playing for this franchise. It doesn't matter if a
player was here for three months, for three years, or
for a decade. They all feel it. They all know it,
they all understand it. Wearing this uniform in front of
(01:55):
these fans, beneath these banners, it means something. It's special.
It is well, let's allow them to tell you. That
is what this episode is all about, what it feels
like to play for the Celtics. It's truly, Uh, honor,
what's going on is Jayson Tatum from the Boston Celtics.
(02:17):
You know, just from the history and our fans and
expectations that we have and all the great players that
have came through this building. Um and put this uniform on.
Let's put this jersey on every game. Uh, it's Anna,
what's up, everybody? It's market smart I mean, we see
all the legends and things that came before us that
(02:39):
opened the way for us, that you know, built a tradition,
build a culture here in the game of basketball. And
to be a part of their group and have your
name even mentioned with those guys um and putting on
the same jerseys that they were to start their careers
and to finish their careers and to become who they are.
(03:00):
It's an honor. This is Grant Williams. It's an honor
being able to represent an organization that has a history
like Boston, has had success, like Boston has had legends
like Boston. It's it's an honor to be a part
of every single day. There's one specific element that generates
(03:20):
that feeling of honor. It's an element that's been built, maintained,
and evolved over the last seventy five years of Celtics history.
It's the culture. The culture, you know, it's all about winning,
you know, and everyone genuinely cares. The thing that really
says this organization apart from others, is just the winning mentality.
It's a winning culture. High the standard ties from the
(03:42):
Boston Celtics, like you want to win. If you put
this Jersey on. You want to win like that, Like
I said, the expectations are, you want to win responsibility, accountability, um, humility,
all those those things that I feel like the such
as franchise has had over the course of the years,
and that something that uh, teamwork and trust are another
(04:04):
two words that could be used, and that's something that's
very important. We frustrated after a loss, and everybody is
really invested and we hold each other accountable because every year,
you know, we're trying to win a championship and you know,
we don't celebrate conference finals or making the playoffs. You know,
that's something that you know we expect year in a
(04:26):
year out, and you can't say that about you know,
every franchise. I should tell them. I say, yeah, you
had a good summer. Everybody pat me on the bank
the World champions I said, it's gonna take two losses
in a row for people to say, who are those bumps?
(04:48):
You got a lot of organizations out there, and it's
no knock tune. You know they're good organizations, but it's
tough to win and to be able to do it
as many times as the Celtics have consistently time after
time Um him of the crop this it's crazy, and
I think that's really what separates in the Boston from
from anybody else in that standpoint, because you come here
(05:09):
here to name Boston. You see is Um talked about winning?
All right? This is Emaudoka, head coach of the Boston Celtics.
It's really a winning environment, winning atmosphere, and what it
takes to get there the day to day grind and
you know, the big picture approach, you know, not not
getting caught up in the moment. And so what I
(05:31):
try to relate to our guys is uh, you know,
grinding away, pounding away every day towards the ultimate goal.
And that expectation isn't just for the players, it's for
the fans to everyone involved in this organization expects to win,
is motivated to win. That is the connective tissue that
runs between the team, the city, and these fans. That
(05:53):
creates a unique atmosphere, one unlike any other in the NBA.
Different in a great way is the x dictation of
the pressure. It's like they're part of the team and
connected and that's not the norm with a lot of franchises. Obviously,
I came from one that's one a lot lately and
others that were trying to establish in Philadelphia and Brooklyn
and you know, trying to get to that next level.
(06:13):
But here it's it's really already set. And you can
see that on day to day basis obviously just by
looking up. But um, that standard and that pressure is
good for everybody. I feel what's going on in Jalen
Brown from the Boston Celtics. I think basketball is bigger
here than any maybe any work in the world. So
many sports fans we know that in this home environment
(06:34):
we got the best best, so we know that each
and every night we're gonna complete, We're gonna fight. It
makes it that much more exciting and fun to be
able to come to work where you know people care
so much about what you do. Other places in the
world people may or may not, or they may care less.
But here in Boston, title town, you know that energy
(06:57):
is electric. The one thing I can tell you is
that even on the street I'm out, you know, you
just feel it and you know that it's it's different
up here, hid and it means something. And uh, as
you get older and as you start understanding, you talk
about legacy and things that you want to do and
(07:18):
things like that. You want to be in a place
where it's meaningful. You know, where you can bring you know, Joe,
you can bring happiness to to a certain part. And
I find that that here that you know, people care.
It's hard to kind of explain. You kind of have
(07:39):
to live through it. But like everybody in town, like
it's engaged, it's into it, it's it's ready and and
it's an appointent. I just took notice of that, and
even years before because I've played, you know, against the
Celtics a few times and hangu and just getting that feeling.
But then once you're in the arena and the people, um,
you know, it's just a loud. I've been a place
(08:01):
in the NBA. Um you know how much the people
are into it, um how much they drive the team
and uh and and that really helps us um on
on the Flores players. Everyone in the building knows what
the team is playing for. The players, the coaches, the staff,
the fans. They are all there for one goal. The
(08:23):
Celtics start rolling, the crowd begins roaring, and when those
circumstances collide, it's the fourth July. You know, it's fire works.
Those are the moments where like you get goose bumps.
Those are the moments where you know, it's almost like
(08:44):
the crowd is like a living organism, just breathing as
with you as the game goes on, all like in Unison,
and it's just like electric. It's almost like you feel invincible,
big flexing. Honestly, when you're playing here at home and
(09:07):
you have the fans supporting you in that way behind
you um playoffs in the garden, there is so much
meaning to it. That's the beauty about the fans that
we had. We really do feed off of them and
they give us the end of you to keep going,
(09:27):
especially when we feel like everything else that we had
ad Energie is called we don't you know, let it
all out of court. We don't have any more. And
hear those guys in the stands cheering and you know
giving us there of that energy. It picks us right
back up and refused us. Today's episode is presented by
the Boston Celtics credit card powered by Cardless. New card
(09:48):
holders can earn a special sign up bonus which you
can redeem for front row game tickets, autographed year cash back,
and more. You'll continue to earn points on all of
your purchases too. Card issued by First Electronic Bank Member
f d I C offers subjects to credit approval because
at cardless dot Com forward slash Celtics for more information,
(10:10):
that's Cardless dot Com forward slash Celtics. That boost is
not restricted to the friendly confines of TD Garden either.
There may be no NBA team whose fans travel stronger
than Boston's, which has turned road games into pseudo home
games and given these Celtics a shocking advantage inside arena
(10:31):
after arena. You've always understood that it's a national brand
in the national brand, and and you knew there was fans,
but not to that extent. A lot of the buildings
you go in Denver really stood out obviously because we
scored the first basket, and I felt the chair was like,
we're a home team for sure. And so you wouldn't
think that maybe obviously New York or Miami or wherever
this implants, not in Denver, you wouldn't expect that. And
(10:54):
so um it's been like that everywhere in every road arena,
you have Celtics fans more than the home arenas. And
that's something that is important and valuable and something that
you see across across the nation. It just shows exactly
that you have a home court advantai no matter where
you go. The m v P chance for Jason and
you know, let's go Celtics on road, you know, and
(11:15):
they tried to drown it out with booze, but it's
like it's something that I didn't even expect to that extent, honestly,
and so you know, appreciative of the fan base all
around the country. It's truly my favorite part play on
the road. Just looking at the stands and seeing all
the green jerseys and T shirts and hoodies, just saying
how well celt expance travel. It just really makes you
(11:37):
feel good. And you know, just being on the road
and saying all that is a great field. Those nights
on the road are even more evidence of the special
bond between the Celtics and their fans. It's unmistakable this
relationship runs deeper than any around the league. You can
see it and feel it every night inside TV Garden,
(11:57):
the garden crowd, I have a courage, and then there
are the special nights when the energy and the love
reach whole new levels. Selling fans please welcome to sen
of Cord, Kevin Garnet. Give this fan base an opportunity
to thank a player individually for raising a banner in
Boston and for his blood, sweat and tears, and the
(12:19):
result just hits differently. Boston's players all had a front
row seat to that level when they witnessed Kevin Garnett's
number five being raised to the rafters on March. J Oh,
y'all man, I'll root for y'all. Maga look in the playoffs.
Keep kicking some ass, keep playing together, you know I'm saying.
(12:39):
Some players, including Jayson Tatum, Jalen Brown, and Marcus Smart
also watched Paul Pierce's number as it was retired back
in two thousand eighteen. Oh, those moments gave the current
Celtics players even more of an understanding of the love
affair they can share with these Celtic Is faithful each
(13:01):
and every night. I've had the privileges in two of those.
Now my first year part pays God just never retired.
And you know this last one was just incredible, this inspiration.
It's legendary to see those two, you know, who had
amazing careers. To see those two get there accredited for
a the work they put in in this game that
(13:21):
was the two legends and me. For me to be
able to watch both of them, it's extremely like inspiring,
extremely motivating. Oh man, it was emotional. It was energetic
for me as a player to be able to to
sit through that and winnings. Those things, I guess you
can say, encourage you to be able to think that
one day possibly I could have a chance or to
(13:43):
have a chance to possibly have my name up there
and imagine that is something that as a kid growing up,
you know, the dream of seeing the videos and his
teammates there, you know, celebrate him and obviously how much
he means to the game of basketball and to this city.
You know, I was just like a beautiful thing to see.
It's also something that only Boston Celtics players can experience
(14:04):
and explain. If anyone out there in the basketball world
is thinking about maybe one day coming to Boston, all
you need to do is listen. It's my opinion, it
just means more here than than anywhere being a Celtic,
embracing it, representing the city of Boston, everything that it
stands for. It's something that you want to be a
(14:25):
part of you want to play, You want to do
great things, and you have an opportunity to individually to
show who you are, what you have and for people
to embrace you. You tapped into history, you tapped into legacy.
If you are coming here, you've been planning for a
fan base seconds and non basketball sports in general is
(14:46):
huge here. Sports is your career choice. It's not so
many better places to come to in title time? So
what does it mean to play for the Boston Celtics
And the Boston fans can come alive like no fans
And I reckon, why is playing here so special knowledge
of the game? I think that's the biggest thing in
the Celtics fans have over a load of other fans.
(15:06):
We're here every game. The ownership group is here every
single game along with all the other fans rolling it together. Uh.
And it's a nice feeling when you win, because then
just throwing a successful party for you know, eighteen thousands
of people. I hope that the individuals here will support
the Celtic teams of the future as much as they
(15:26):
have myself and the past, and particularly it's players, because
you have given us what every team really wants to
have enthusiasm, dedication, and you've helped us win many championships.
What more can I say? Thank you, Boston? I love
you now. You know what it feels like to play
(15:52):
for the Celtics, though it's truly privilege. Let's put this
jersey on every game. It's anna you have. You tapped
into history, you tapped into legacy, and Paul peers with
one final farewell gift to a franchise, a fan base
and a city, the culture. You know, it's all about winning.
(16:15):
The one thing I would say is it's really a
winning environment, winning atmosphere. How sweet it is, How sweet
it is if you're the Boston tell the responsibility, accountability, humility.
It takes a lot of talent and a lot of
pride and a lot of team work to win a championships. Inspiration,

y'all man, I'll root for y'all. Maga look in the playoffs.
Keep kicking some ass, keep playing together, you know I'm saying.
(12:39):
Some players, including Jayson Tatum, Jalen Brown, and Marcus Smart
also watched Paul Pierce's number as it was retired back
in two thousand eighteen. Oh, those moments gave the current
Celtics players even more of an understanding of the love
affair they can share with these Celtic Is faithful each
(13:01):
and every night. I've had the privileges in two of those.
Now my first year part pays God just never retired.
And you know this last one was just incredible, this inspiration.
It's legendary to see those two, you know, who had
amazing careers. To see those two get there accredited for
a the work they put in in this game that
(13:21):
was the two legends and me. For me to be
able to watch both of them, it's extremely like inspiring,
extremely motivating. Oh man, it was emotional. It was energetic
for me as a player to be able to to
sit through that and winnings. Those things, I guess you
can say, encourage you to be able to think that
one day possibly I could have a chance or to
(13:43):
have a chance to possibly have my name up there
and imagine that is something that as a kid growing up,
you know, the dream of seeing the videos and his
teammates there, you know, celebrate him and obviously how much
he means to the game of basketball and to this city.
You know, I was just like a beautiful thing to see.
It's also something that only Boston Celtics players can experience
(14:04):
and explain. If anyone out there in the basketball world
is thinking about maybe one day coming to Boston, all
you need to do is listen. It's my opinion, it
just means more here than than anywhere being a Celtic,
embracing it, representing the city of Boston, everything that it
stands for. It's something that you want to be a
(14:25):
part of you want to play, You want to do
great things, and you have an opportunity to individually to
show who you are, what you have and for people
to embrace you. You tapped into history, you tapped into legacy.
If you are coming here, you've been planning for a
fan base seconds and non basketball sports in general is
(14:46):
huge here. Sports is your career choice. It's not so
many better places to come to in title time? So
what does it mean to play for the Boston Celtics
And the Boston fans can come alive like no fans
And I reckon, why is playing here so special knowledge
of the game? I think that's the biggest thing in
the Celtics fans have over a load of other fans.
(15:06):
We're here every game. The ownership group is here every
single game along with all the other fans rolling it together. Uh.
And it's a nice feeling when you win, because then
just throwing a successful party for you know, eighteen thousands
of people. I hope that the individuals here will support
the Celtic teams of the future as much as they
(15:26):
have myself and the past, and particularly it's players, because
you have given us what every team really wants to
have enthusiasm, dedication, and you've helped us win many championships.
What more can I say? Thank you, Boston? I love
you now. You know what it feels like to play
(15:52):
for the Celtics, though it's truly privilege. Let's put this
jersey on every game. It's anna you have. You tapped
into history, you tapped into legacy, and Paul peers with
one final farewell gift to a franchise, a fan base
and a city, the culture. You know, it's all about winning.
(16:15):
The one thing I would say is it's really a
winning environment, winning atmosphere. How sweet it is, How sweet
it is if you're the Boston tell the responsibility, accountability, humility.
It takes a lot of talent and a lot of
pride and a lot of team work to win a championships. Inspiration,
it's legendary. It is better seventeen. They all came to
(16:35):
him so proud of them. You just feel it and
you know that it's different up here. It's almost like
the crowd is like a living organism, just breathing as
with you. It's a boat of energy that you just
kind of absorb. It's almost like you feel invincible. It's
the fourth tee. You know it's five words, were Superhero, lost,
(16:59):
jailor oh Papa, take all that you're in Boston. It's
something that I didn't even expect to that extent knowledge
of the game. I think that's the biggest thing in
the Celtics fans have over a lot of other things.
It's kind of like everybody knows Less play all time.
