Remember the Celtics championship basketball team mister Scott Pollard planet Pollard on the phone hello Scott. I have a senior and I like 24 hours of my green there. I went you've been -- You -- doing all right -- Redick but it. The little party it was a guy that was as big as you there at the party last night. One of my ready Brothers how many you got. Or rather than it is. She's you guys want Femi don't want to mess with he's he's sure he's big man.
Period victory of my brother bigger than me one the -- bigger 271 of those guys. And go from seventh to three oh oh in the sort of he's six.
Oasis a little little -- you little little brother. So what's your life -- licenses all the stuff -- pretty exciting time last week I gotta play and aside from a few maniacs going on -- green. -- of the parade and and just a big huge celebration after such a long drought for the Celtics.
Well it was just. It is I've been writing where it made people was everywhere -- go out nearly got -- down on walk around downtown lot. Well out of eight there you walked in on -- walk. It around and and just every day people. Coming up and record graduate and walked over bitter. And you know every person and it regulars visit this phenomenal Beers city that cares so much about sports and like go to ball yearlong it was just so proud of -- law there's there's nothing like that in other cities mentioned are there.
You know what's funny to his got to the you know -- it is it is that kind of rabid sports town. And there was a long period time were these the Celtics fan forward which is starving and dying for something good to happen. And for whatever reason you know the luck of the draw the look at ping pong balls you know. Give players star players dying I mean I had some very tragic. Look over the twenty year period time. But suddenly and it was very sought to Scott stall took place within the past twelve months where that the team just totally revamped itself and went on -- crazy. Wire to wire win it's it's it's kind of almost like a a shock treatment therapy for these fans.
Yeah absolutely it really wasn't a whirlwind experience and you know it. Well all The Beatles started going down people started talking about -- currently development arm between August -- an -- an outsider art and chew him a deal -- graphic. Rare obviously started making the Garnett -- and hero off. Became the bottom of the NBA just because those and they are -- had completed and who you know. We know it is phenomenal closure for petty to do to get via.
rep the reps -- a pretty big there. Yeah now what you're -- close personal this stuff and I I felt particularly two and I think a lot of people would join me in this sentiment for for Doc Rivers. Because docked out of from the outside looking in for -- all he's good with the media so we we don't have any reason to gripe about anything along those lines. But he seems to be a legitimate good guy and a solid citizen. I mean a solid man. On whom people can rely during the course of the season for the for the proper kind of leadership and he was a bad rap has been a bad coach because in -- players before.
Well it's always tough when Europe player and then become a coach. To break into your head -- I think inside out my opinion is. Players know what it's like you player in the league and that accommodated your little off -- you want to give guys they're rat is or practice. We got young team and docket that was a -- news and here's a coach in Orlando and here. You can't let the young guys up who easier not care about. But you put a lot of pressure on those guys that don't get a lot of minutes and even and even older guys don't get a lot of negative. It's a lot of pressure he'll practice very much you know they off pretty consistently. Throughout that in a week is he knows what a player you need those late in April page use. Practiced really hard and people my age and winter -- break and it's a fine line of the -- and coasted to learn. R I gotta be easy on the veterans the guys completed a minute if we don't want to -- now they aren't. Yorvit buoyed because you're young guys don't respect your own goal and I think it's to leave Vietnam he's got to get -- play. And they're not shape of their own accord. It's because well it makes you lose games and the -- so. Part of that is coaching young team and part of it to become better coaches use --
We watched of Laker fans now they they kind of run away a little bit stunned we saw that nine out of ten of the quote ESPN experts had picked the Lakers to win that. That's finals series against Boston and then now they're talking about how well you know maybe coach Phil Jackson is beyond. As my friend Lenny makes calls in the he's not the zen master he's the then mastered now you know without Colby without to Shaq rather. -- just one guy that Paul Gasol is soft and he looks like a -- I mean up all these excuses were here now we were here and before the series is it's as possible the Celtics were just that much of a greater team flat out.
Well I don't know about the so called experts because -- those guys who played all alone in the I don't watch those guys. And well I I do goes since Shaq is not been in LA. Load shall object you know player of LA Lakers would be like -- Kerry and often -- it's he's. It's a lot of week we used up our programs are traditionally excellent and without Shaq -- What Pete regarding -- phenomenal player. But he's not Michael Jordan he doesn't have a party -- You know triumvirate of senators like Michael acted just knew their role Roger when he. Cart right you know I'd -- Pieces many -- shooters he would act. Occur out of those guys you know -- other categories on Jordan had some great pieces -- regard the new rules. -- Yeah -- team like Michael here but also be very Colby a little bit beyond real like called the bird I don't I don't need. The -- there to Colby he's got a lot. Guys that are all shall of their role I'll give you Derek fishers are aware there's all yells. He -- very well Lamar Odom does. The other -- very can fit very I would -- saw that you do would they do. The -- and it is not what you did a great role players know what will you make that in the past he'd better go. Young mind did not young players even got -- veteran. But you know follow that up about you talk about what act after act act I didn't like -- players I don't. Personally again I don't really like -- out at the -- years old Williams or the guys I think he's he is well but. He should be fair with Arum. What do you have to coach compared what Doc Rivers that.
You know while yet did you or did you happen here -- wrapped. He did wrapped last night in New York City -- of hurting everything that's. It eat -- kind of went after Kobe you'll get your fifteen seconds evident you can hear you'll immediately hear this down the line okay listen that. This is the Shaq.
You know how -- Last week Kobe couldn't do without okay. Yeah they have called myself maybe what about as good as making -- whole week and -- his god told me is his last.
Right now he's he -- afterwards he's freestyle in. And and you know he didn't mean anything by but -- Colby you're here that you gotta be -- pissed about that --
Well there was no secret they want but ran into a true I think editors in the eighties so that we championship. I think OBV to check one check into Kobe is. Check -- over my anymore what was what you're and what it lightly armed object well he act this year collapse. And Shaq is not what you used to he certainly.
And and -- as part they are we that where did you regard now I've ages ago. But you know -- That's funny I think you're Larry Jackson got a great of him I'd like -- personally I think he's great great size of an act Baghdad and to. It's my -- really appreciated play again.
Now what's a window of opportunity for his team won more championships and we know about the Big Three -- 3031 the you know about the other guys coming back and and you know and you can't speculate on that contract stuff but. It Posey was a big part of this team Eddie House is a big contributor on what you what's going to happen with you hush your foot in your feet. -- HR you were before right here.
I had all problem rebuilt you do reconstructed and the old habits -- salt issue. Which actually it's worse than which has broken a lot of years of wear it Bears bring him up but they're prepared they've not allowed to run yet. But close within a week -- be there have been political editor column along which is major surgeries reader ankle and been durable. Just figured out a way -- who. The left so bad that the right one to one did -- a lot -- on whatever while. -- coming along I'll be all right I'll be better than they've been -- went from. Red -- that's the aren't able though at least a month month and -- all.
Yeah how many of those guys you think you're going to be you mean obviously and never is their whole team we returning usually it is going to. Be some rotation and on somebody's part but you think the bulk of the state will be back.
In in this summer to try to keep as much in the other possible on eaters -- All of you -- but it suited to rookie at the shop he he's one -- them. And our -- urgent opiate out oh yeah he's under contract sure about. At least he's under contract. -- He's going to get called is going to be -- to help keep -- my opinion as it is called. -- a contribution and he can probably do better out where. The open match -- offer like -- mystery -- it he understood it. I'd -- not surprised to be out. I would be. It would be surprising if you'd. Short eagle it'll be army multiyear deal this summer you know. So aptly demand -- you deal and he -- deeper.
Well it sure has been a fun ride is probably really nice -- of Roy you guys suited to get the rings coming your way into sensitive to have to get to get a a front row seat to all the fun. That happened there at the Boston guard it's a whole different building now trust me on that I you don't do from your experience that this building is. At a at transformation.
