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.”
Derrick White was asked if he knew how to tie a tie ahead of Opening Ceremonies at the Paris Olympics:
“I do, I watched JT’s tutorial.”

Deuce kept it real in Boston’s locker room after the Celtics nearly squandered a double-digit lead at the end of Game 3:
“We almost lost.”

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
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.”
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.
