00:00It's absolutely amazing. Oh my God. I'm a full Boston squad team. Red Sox, Patriots,

00:16Celtics, Bruins, Rebs, you name it. Oh my, and this is my first parade. I am enjoying

00:22every single moment of this. All I got to say is thank you to the Celtics, Brad Stevens,

00:29you are a great GM. Thank you for putting this team together. You did everything you

00:34could and look where we are. We got Banner 18 finally. Celtics finished the story.

00:40The way they've handled themselves on and off the court, they've been so gracious. They're

00:58really a team, T-E-A-M. Even though we were Celtics season holders and we went back to

01:07Larry Bird, which was a great era, but this team has soul. The way that Tatum handled

01:15the fact that he didn't get MVP, so gracious in the way that they embraced the other players

01:21after the loss. I mean, they're just, they're everything everybody says about them. I'm

01:26proud of them. For me, I think standout player this year was definitely Jalen Brown. I think

01:43with him getting the $300 million contract this offseason, I think there was, again,

01:47a lot of expectations on him. I think he absolutely lived up to the hype winning finals

01:52MVP, conference finals MVP. I just hope that my boss isn't working. That's why I wore the shades

01:56today. I got the hat down low, but I wouldn't miss this for nothing. I don't even care. I'll

02:02tell him that I showed up today. I wasn't going to miss this for anything.
