Brad Stevens @BCCoachStevens always used to say he would turn off the NCAA title game before the final horn because it was too painful to watch the celebration after coming so close & falling short. Tonight, the celebration belongs to him. #celtics – 11:14 PM

Two years ago, Golden State general manager Bob Myers celebrated on the Garden floor by drinking beer out of a champagne glass.
Not sure what Brad Stevens’ beverage of choice will be, but pretty sure he’ll keep his shoes on. pic.twitter.com/H6ESQUqXPj – 11:00 PM

The 2024 Boston Celtics are just the 3rd championship team in the past 34 years without an NBA MVP winner on the team

Two Jays with a Finals MVP case + Brad Stevens made trades to put Al Horford, Derrick White, Kristaps Porziņģis and Jrue Holiday around them = Title No. 18.

More than most, this feels like a “front office” title for the @celtics. The players and coaches obviously deserve credit, but the job Brad Stevens (and @mikezarren, @dsparks, & others) did putting together this roster of talented and complementary players is very impressive! – 10:53 PM

Fun detail from today’s story: Jayson Tatum’s longtime trainer Drew Hanlen had been in Greece training a “new client” for most of the Finals. I’ll let you guess who that might be…he flew from Athens to Boston Monday morning to make Game 5 -via x.com / June 19, 2024
