Absolutely love seeing this. From a non-roster training camp deal to being a part of the Celtics for the next 3 years, he deserves every single penny of this
Boston Celtics G/F Ron Harper Jr. intends to sign a new three-year, $9 million deal to return to the franchise, sources tell ESPN. The Celtics are declining Harper's $2.6M team option, clearing the way for the sides to commit on a longer deal.

The Red Sox have truly been bailed out this season with the ability to just roll Payton Tolle out in front of a microphone and it just be the best thing you’ve ever seen. This guy is phenomenal

Can’t say that this is a good look going publicly like this. Marcelo Mayer hasn’t even played a full big league season, and as with a lot of young players, he is still trying to find his footing and learning about himself.
I do believe he will figure it out, but it doesn’t help when something like this goes public for all to see
