The Celtics actually did what Philly thought they were doing with the whole “trust the process” movement. They’ve drafted better, made better trades, and really showed how you rebuild a team. Philly hasn’t even been to a conference finals during the process.

[@johnlim7720]

Yes and credit goes to Brad Stevens

[@Paultheguitarist]

The Sixers just forgot to get a good coach during that whole process thing.

[@zoogiemichaels4209]

Risky trades and risky moves at that! Giving up the 6th man of the year (Brogdon) for an injury prone KP is a high risk. Trading away a franchise defensive star in Marcus Smart to then acquire an older defensive star is another huge risk. These moves weren’t easy but it makes the result all the more sweet.

[@Paultheguitarist]

I really really feel like he’s done such an amazing job helping to be the missing piece on this team ever since the moment he arrived. And then, once he found his perfect footing on this team, he became as good as any role player in the history of the NBA for this specific team. Truly a Celtics legend and I know all of my Celtics fan friends know what I mean when I say that the moment he arrived there was something about him that was almost TOO perfect as a Celtic! It’s like he was born to be a Boston Celtic. It’s like he found his home, and it just lead to him becoming so perfect here.

That's the beauty if you migrated to america , you can speak 2 languages. Reason why I rooted for the celtics, Al Horford to get his ring. Porzingis got lucky to be with celtic, he also contributed. J Holiday was the missing factor, they got Jrue and they succeeded. Congratulations to the champs. D White, good for him he got rid of the jinx, his hairline Lol.

Big Al should be in the hof.

[@sganet_]

Unlikely, 5 time all star with a single all-NBA is not going to make it.

[@ridgethomas1998]

He will most certainly now

[@BallCDO]

He going make it

[@BallCDO]

​@@sganet_people with worst resumes made it. Plus Big Al won back to back in Florida. That's going to count for something

[@coops1992]

Yep, if Harden and Westbrook are hof's then this guy too, way more valuable than both of them.
