At 46:50 Paul mentions a play that was written for a lob for KG and felt that because he was standing in the corner he was "not involved". My man, with this team, plays like that work because great/clutch shooters like you are always a threat. You might be standing on that corner, but the defense it absolutely paying attention to you, and that helps the play develop.

[@GTR24]

That 2008-2009 team was going to win back to back. They had a 19 game win streak and they down-played the seriousness of KG's injury.

Was a big fan of that Big 3 of KG, Paul "Truth" Pierce, Ray Allen (Rajon Rondo) Era of Celtics Basketball, THEY PLAYED ANGRY, always ready for a battle, the team was constructed right Dawgs everywhere: Tony Allen, Eddie House, James Posey, Big Baby Davis and more!

[@Drewdriskle]

Man, that 08' celtics team was the reason why I started watching basketball & became a legit celtics fan! The energy around that team was contagious for everyone watching. That whole team literally reminded of all the guys I played pick up basketball with from the hood. Everyone had someone in their hood that looked liked rondo that can ball out 🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💯 fun times. Hearing doc talk about camaraderie @ 53:45 was great to hear. No team can win in sports or business without camaraderie 💯 great interview gentleman! #banner18🏆

[@WildL23]

It's about time yall had Doc Rivers on fellas. Doc Rivers played on the High School basketball team with my cousin and Doc graduated High School with my Brother. Me and about 50 kids met Doc at Proviso East in late june/early July 1990. My coach was a grade school teacher of Doc's. My coach looked around and said where is all my players? Somebody said they are in Memorial Hall playing basketball with Doc Rivers. My coach said forget Doc Rivers, he already has his, you guys have to get yours. Let's go! So 15-30 minutes later Doc comes walking into the Field House floor and my coach yells get Doc, "GET OUT OF HERE, GET OUT OF HERE" (Because Doc was distracting all of his players) Doc started laughing. So Doc says come on guys, I will give you a pep talk: "All of you come to one side because I can't see all of you if you are behind me. I wasn't the best on the team when I played here. I had a teammate named Ricky Wilson. He was the best basketball player I ever saw. He was better than me. He was better than Mark Aguirre, he was better than Isiah Thomas. Everyday afyer school me and Rickey would go to the park (10th Park) and practice. Games, one on ones, etc. Ricky didn't take advantage of his talent. Everybody (colleges) wanted Doc Rivers to play for them. Get your education guys because when you hear Moses Malone talk, it's sad. So get your education.....I don't think Jordan is the best, I still think Magic is the best. Michael doesn't have any championships. Magic has 5." 8 months later we won the Illinios High School State Basketball Champion led by 3 future NBA Playera, Michael Finley, Sherrell Ford and Donnie Boyce. And after we lost 3 players to the NBA we went Undefeated and won another championship. Meeting Doc Rivers was like Superman because at that time only Doc and his Uncle Jim Brewer had made it to the NBA from the neighborhood. So I always knew his name, I didn't know what he looked like until 87 and I finally met him in 1990. But know we've sent more players to the NBA than all the schools in the nation except for about 8 or 9 schools. So guys like Doc, Jim Brewer and my schoolmate Michael Finley set a great example for us.

Winning a championship involves a lot of factor, but something you can always assure is having a winning culture!
