Dan Beyer: “Here we are, fast forward to present day, and we go into an NBA Finals where that storied franchise in the Boston Celtics, is playing second fiddle to an opponent that isn’t the Lakers or the Warriors…it’s the Dallas Mavericks. They are the draw in this series! People are not tuning in to watch Jayson Tatum or Jalen Brown!”
Kerry Rhodes: “Everything you said is pretty accurate…when you talk about this NBA Finals as a whole, you talk about Dallas being the story in this Finals, it’s because of the ties to the Boston Celtics. The biggest story with this game is Kyrie Irving returning to Boston, and then you have the young guns in Tatum and Brown trying to elevate the brand back into that light that you talked about before.”
On today’s edition of Fox Sports Sunday, Dan Beyer and Kerry Rhodes discussed the waning significance of the Boston Celtics as a brand in the NBA, with Dan taking the position that the Los Angeles Lakers are the clear number one in the league, with the Golden State Warriors easily coming in at number two!
