Today, the Boston Celtics secured their future by locking in their 2x All-Star with a historic contract: a staggering $304 million over the next five seasons.

Al Horford has taken the same, modest approach for 15+ years – and it’s paid off: he’s been one of the game’s top bigs during that span.

The 8th-seeded Miami Heat are going to the 2023 NBA Finals!

Delaybaro checks in w/ a quick recap after Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals - Miami & Boston are headed to Game 7 for the second consecutive season.

Malcolm Brogdon’s extremely efficient: he can slide into any lineup and make a difference w/ his defense, outside jumper & attention to detail.

Derrick White gets it done on both ends for Boston - key Star UnderDOG for the C’s.

Portrait: Jaylen Brown

Jayson Tatum is...just a pure hooper, plain & simple - play style & confidence of someone who'll perform at a high level for a very long time.

Derrick White gets it done on both ends for Boston.

Jrue Holiday is an All-Star level, two-way combo guard - huge barometer for success.

Al Horford has taken the same, modest approach for 15+ years – and it’s paid off: he’s been one of the game’s top bigs during that span.

JD Davison is really an eye-catching athlete at the 1 spot: special dunker w/ a ridiculous vertical attack.

Jaden Springer: young PG w/ a real, two-way foundation to his attack.

Toronto native Oshae Brissett is rising the ranks as a solid, complementary forward in the league.

Sacramento’s Neemias Queta: 1st NBA Player from Portugal - will be brought along to impose fear as a momentum-shifting shot-blocker/Watch DOG.

Sam Hauser: shooting prospect who converted his 2Way contract after year 1.

Xavier Tillman Sr: ready-made role player outta Michigan State.

Payton Pritchard’s poised, has lots of room to grow on a contender like Boston.

Undrafted outta Vandy, Luke Kornet is a true 7-footer with some range.

Svi Mykhailiuk is a very fluid offensive talent w/ catch-and-shoot, spot-up, & “off the bounce” shooting abilities.
