"Reporter: "If Jaylen and Jayson are the superstars on this team, what's your role? And if you're gonna be the team's leading scorer, leading rebounder and shoot the highest percentage in Game 2 of the Finals, why aren't you a superstar, as well?"

Holiday: "I'm a utility guy. I'll do whatever. I'm here to win. … At the end of the day, this is their team. … The pressure that [Jaylen and Jayson] have on themselves to execute and to be great is a little bit different than my pressure. I've always been honest about that, and how they handle themselves [has] been so honorable. So it's slightly different. They're superstars and I'm here to support."

Wild stat… Holiday has 38 points and zero turnovers through two NBA Finals games. The last player to do that? Michael Jordan in 1998. Not bad company for a utility guy!"

that is a very humble and honest interview answer. much respect.

I really like him as a player.

Jaylen Brown's press conference after Game 3:

Jaylen Brown: "This team has trusted me in the playoffs, in those moments, to be who I am and I’ve been able to deliver by being patient and being poised…I give all the credit to my teammates to have the trust in me."

— Jared Weiss (@JaredWeissNBA) June 13, 2024

Jaylen Brown said that the team has been hearing about its past for the past several months and tonight was proof they are a different team for the way they were able to execute down the stretch.

Career playoff high 8 assists for Jaylen Brown tonight

— Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) June 13, 2024

Jaylen is really at the top of his game this year, and a sweep or 4-1 championship seems inevitable. Those thunderous dunks remind me of Lebron, and I'd like to see Jaylen and Tatum lead a Warriors-like dynasty in the next 3-4 years. Then the Warriors can take over again

Celtics are going to have a serious salary cap issue in the upcoming years. Warriors were able to get around it by just having an owner who was willing to pay crazy ass luxury tax. I don't see the celtics owner being as crazy as lacob

Jason Kidd's press conference after Game 4:

Mavericks Coach Jason Kidd: "The hardest thing in this league is to close the door against a group that has nothing to lose. Tonight you saw that. [The Celtics] let go of the rope pretty early."

— Ben Golliver (@BenGolliver) June 15, 2024

Kidd on Lively's 3. "He can shoot. That's the next step in his development."

— John Hollinger (@johnhollinger) June 15, 2024

Jason Kidd: "We have nothing to lose going to Boston. To answer the first part of your question, Luka can play defense and you saw that tonight."

— Mike Curtis (@MikeACurtis2) June 15, 2024

All time in the NBA playoffs, teams are 0-156 in a series in which they are down 3-0.

New that Celtics have won the Finals and Jaylen Brown has been named the Finals MVP, is there any news on Jason Kidd? How long a contract does he have? I know Mark Cuban is a very demanding and difficult boss (although he has sold the majority ownership interest in the Mavericks, he is still in charge of the Basketball operations).

Go Bears!

Dallas signed Jason to a multi-year contract extension in early May.

Just found out last week that Holiday is my nephew's first cousin. Another reason for me to like this Celtic team.
