The Celtics have decided to pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Giannis wants to end up in Boston 😳, per @BillSimmons
“I thought Boston was out of this. I know Boston was out of this. I was wondering if they were playing possum or not. I think they were playing a little possum. I think they are in on Giannis. I’m not recanting what I said before. I don’t know the reasons for it. Maybe they felt like Miami’s offer is an offer they could beat. Maybe they want to drive the price of Miami’s offer up and don’t really have interest in him. Giannis is pushing for Miami or Boston. Those are the two locations and really wants to end up in Boston because he would have the best chance to win a title. Boston is not ruling out the idea is my intel. In general, I’m prepared for anything with Boston now.”

@RajonRondo had everyone fooled with this fake pass before driving to the basket for the easy layup in Game 4 of Round 1 vs. Atlanta!
Rondo finished with 20 PTS, 16 AST, 3 STL 🔥
