David Lee did what many NBA players would never do, sit back despite his awesome skillset. I mean we all would happily sit on the bench and get a championship ring. But all NBA players got into the pros because they fought for minutes. That fire doesn’t die out, you will see that in the upcoming season when David Lee balls for the Celtics.
Boston are legit once again, they got a young, deep team that play seamlessly. Sure they haven’t got a superstar, but they work. Lee actually sees similarities between the young C’s and the world champion Warriors.
“It’s a similar make-up as far as the team, with great chemistry, we have an unbelievable chemistry,” Lee said in Madrid on Wednesday, a day before Boston’s final game of a preseason double-header in Europe.
“Guys on the team get along well. There’s not the superstar like Stephen Curry on this team but we do have a lot of depth and I think we are going to be a team that it’s going to turn some heads this year.”
“I’m just getting to know coach Stevens but he is a very smart coach, teaches the game very well,” Lee said. “We have such a young team, it’s very important to have a guy that can really teach the younger players how the game is supposed to be played and he is similar to Steve Kerr of all the coaches that I’ve had, that really knows the game and has great enthusiasm toward the game.”
I really like Brad Stevens. He will get some Coach of the Year awards no doubt.
Don’t get Lee twisted, he’s not saying the Celtics are a championship team, but he is saying that they work very well together and we all know that teamwork makes the dream work.
