I also love him because of his enthusiasm, confidence, and loyalty to any team he plays for. The guy has already gotten a leprechaun tattoo on his forearm. Respect.
What I...

CSNNE:
"Until last year, when Miami won, the average age of an NBA championship team was 34 and up, and so that goes to tell you that you have to have that veteran experience, that leadership that knowing guys have been there before. And so, that's why I like our team. You got that with a good mix of young guys and you got yourself a championship contender."

A silent but deadly offseason
The offseason was reminiscent of a storm brewing off a shoreline, that shoreline being the Boston harbor.
