I would pay anything for a Celtics documentary with that winning team

As a Celtics fan, this was so dope to watch and listen to. Absolute legends these guys.

It's crazy cause I hated these guys back in the day, I hated the celtics, couldnt stand em' but now I love these guys. Great human beings and so cool to see this NBA podcast era where we can look back and hear all the stories from back in the day.

Would of been dope if rondo and Allen was there too 🔥

Great podcast! You can feel the deep love respect brotherhood between these three.

I grew up with and became a fan of the NBA around 2009 with the Kobe/Pau Lakers teams, NEVER in my life would I have imagined that I’d be so interested in hearing what these dudes have to say for an hour. Salute KG certified!

Love to see y’all dropping episodes weekly man. Helps me through a lot when it comes to tapping into my routine. Y’all motivate people off the court the same way y’all do on the court. Real impact💯

That 2008-2009 team was going to win back to back. They had a 19 game win streak and they down-played the seriousness of KG's injury.

As a sixers fan who was partially angry with Doc after last season, I can’t even be mad. Great coach, even greater man and leader. 40+ years in the association is not something to take lightly. HOF coach hands down. Respect to a legend 🫡

So great seeing this gang together...

I'm not a BOS fan but I can still remember KG's "Anything is possssssssibllllle!" after they won the chip. Fun team.

Was a big fan of that Big 3 of KG, Paul "Truth" Pierce, Ray Allen (Rajon Rondo) Era of Celtics Basketball, THEY PLAYED ANGRY, always ready for a battle, the team was constructed right Dawgs everywhere: Tony Allen, Eddie House, James Posey, Big Baby Davis and more!

What a great time in Boston to have Doc Rivers Terry Francona Bill Belichick and Claude Julien As head coaches at the same time. It was special, thank you 👏🏻☘️

They really got love for doc!! One of the best episodes yet!!

Man I could watch these guys go for another hour, this was soooo fun to watch, loved it 🎉

Man, that 08' celtics team was the reason why I started watching basketball & became a legit celtics fan! The energy around that team was contagious for everyone watching. That whole team literally reminded of all the guys I played pick up basketball with from the hood. Everyone had someone in their hood that looked liked rondo that can ball out 🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💯 fun times. Hearing doc talk about camaraderie @ 53:45 was great to hear. No team can win in sports or business without camaraderie 💯 great interview gentleman! #banner18🏆

The part where Doc talks about the locker room being quiet and players not knowing how to speak to one another is crazy. Hope I’m not being a 33 year old “old head” by saying this 😂

The best basketball show by ex-nba players, HANDS DOWN!! I’ve always been a KG fan & still have him as my no.1 PF to this day. But now, love him even more in this setting. kG & PP have the best duo & their vibe is 100% genuine like real brothers!

This was an awesome conversation! We need more conversations w/ coaches.

From the first clip i saw earlier i know this is going to be great but Paul will definitely keep interrupting KG lol

Imagine if Allen was here. This would’ve been the best podcast episode of the year

Doc needs to be the 3rd member the chemistry n good conversations are effortless

What a-GREAT-interview,these guys act like they've been in Vietnam together as soldiers. LOL. Funny stories too. Hope Doc writes a book or two,40 yrs in tha-GAME-and counting.

This is Awesome man!! We need a whole lot more of this. We need this look behind the curtain from more teams, players, coaches and GM’s!

As a die hard Lakers fan, this Boston team will always have my respect 🤝🏾💯. Can't wait until our next go round 👀🍿

The stories were just incredible so cool to hear about the team dynamic and funny moments. Best bball duo on RU-vid

"Anything is possible"- KG Gratitude for sharing. Peace to Leon Powe and that Championship Team. I saw Powe at a Barbershop in North Oakland the week after yall got your rings. He's a cool dude.

Great conversation! Thanks for putting out quality content..one of my favorite pods🙏🏿

So much truth and wisdom from Doc on this episode , in the end ego is the biggest enemy

That team was my team and Doc was my coach! I’ve always been a fan of KG, but watching him play with Paul, Ray, Rondo, Big Baby, Perkins, Leon, E. House and being coached by Doc was everything.

This was like a dad talking with his 2 sons about old times that us regular regular people don't know about. They're all good but this is the BEST one. 🔥🔥🔥

It's about time yall had Doc Rivers on fellas. Doc Rivers played on the High School basketball team with my cousin and Doc graduated High School with my Brother. Me and about 50 kids met Doc at Proviso East in late june/early July 1990. My coach was a grade school teacher of Doc's. My coach looked around and said where is all my players? Somebody said they are in Memorial Hall playing basketball with Doc Rivers. My coach said forget Doc Rivers, he already has his, you guys have to get yours. Let's go! So 15-30 minutes later Doc comes walking into the Field House floor and my coach yells get Doc, "GET OUT OF HERE, GET OUT OF HERE" (Because Doc was distracting all of his players) Doc started laughing. So Doc says come on guys, I will give you a pep talk: "All of you come to one side because I can't see all of you if you are behind me. I wasn't the best on the team when I played here. I had a teammate named Ricky Wilson. He was the best basketball player I ever saw. He was better than me. He was better than Mark Aguirre, he was better than Isiah Thomas. Everyday afyer school me and Rickey would go to the park (10th Park) and practice. Games, one on ones, etc. Ricky didn't take advantage of his talent. Everybody (colleges) wanted Doc Rivers to play for them. Get your education guys because when you hear Moses Malone talk, it's sad. So get your education.....I don't think Jordan is the best, I still think Magic is the best. Michael doesn't have any championships. Magic has 5." 8 months later we won the Illinios High School State Basketball Champion led by 3 future NBA Playera, Michael Finley, Sherrell Ford and Donnie Boyce. And after we lost 3 players to the NBA we went Undefeated and won another championship. Meeting Doc Rivers was like Superman because at that time only Doc and his Uncle Jim Brewer had made it to the NBA from the neighborhood. So I always knew his name, I didn't know what he looked like until 87 and I finally met him in 1990. But know we've sent more players to the NBA than all the schools in the nation except for about 8 or 9 schools. So guys like Doc, Jim Brewer and my schoolmate Michael Finley set a great example for us.

Amazing vibes never die with this group always Legendary when we see them together again there will never be a group as close as this one ever

I've been waiting for this 1!!! My favorite team of all time !! #together

Celtics are my Favorite Team. So cool to see these 3 LEGENDS together again!!!

Awesome to see the legends together

Sucha good episode, great seeing conversations like this!

I'm glad Paul & KG are together certified classic🥶🥶🤫🤫

This is a great, great talk. It's funny how amazed Paul and Ticket are at how the locker room has changed. That Tiger Woods story though, that's the kind that moves me..great episode.

The best show man… so real… and the respect theses guys have for each other.

This was an awesome episode. Thank you!!!!

I clicked immediately! This is going to be a banger!

This episode was great 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

This pod was hillarious !! great convo

Those were some of the best basketball years I Have seen in my life so far. So many great memories of another Celtic ☘️ Lakers Dynasty💫 RIP Kobe☮️ I was 27 and balling everyday beacause of watching these greats. Thanks for the Inside noise. I Hope one day Celtics can put together another dream team with DOC drawing plays ✍️ P.S. We finna put that IST Banner up next year 🙌🏾 🏆 ☘️

Man this was so damn good yall. I enjoyed this so much. Ticket and the Truth baby!

I love to see you all back together again, putting all beefs aside. This is beautiful!✊🏽

Doc is one of the coolest coaches to have played for him, Pop, aaah some other great ones as well

man we need more of these celtics reunions… 08 champs had the most character and heart ❤ anything is possible!!!!!!!!!!

Might be the best coach+player(s) interview I’ve ever see - insanely enjoyable!

Real shit , what i needed right now !!!

This might be one of my favorite interviews. This is great.

At 46:50 Paul mentions a play that was written for a lob for KG and felt that because he was standing in the corner he was "not involved". My man, with this team, plays like that work because great/clutch shooters like you are always a threat. You might be standing on that corner, but the defense it absolutely paying attention to you, and that helps the play develop.

Okay fellas, great interview, probably your best. Good job!!

love these guys

It's like we're part of the team. Greatest interview ever!

This is just great 😊

Yayy such a great reunion. I remember trek to see y’all play. Bravo well done y’all put it in …..❤️🙏❤️

This interview was unskippable, great content!

I could sit with these guys and listen to their stories for days. Such an awesome team and man these guys are awesome ❤🔥🙌🏻

I love these dudes bro , Kevin and Paul are two of my favorites ppl in life

This is it yo ! All guys authentic , these guys love doc it’s so cool 😎!

The master 'n student dynamic was cool in this show-respect to the legends- 👑

You can see the genuine love they have for Doc

Listen to our guys.. they just in there celebrating!! 😂😂😂 Love it!

2008 was my favorite team man! the original big 3

Great show and great stories

Amazing that we get to listen to this! Wouldnt it be amazing if someone started a podcast and weekly invited Hall of Famers from every generation and every (major) US Sport to reminisce on their careers. Commentating on historic in-game and team experiences; allowing spectators, like myself, relive those moments from the perspective of an insider.

I’m not even done with this episode and this is one for the books already

That was so good, I had to watch it twice!!

45:26 KG got me cryinnn lmaooooooooo "in whatever" LMFAOOO

This is just beautiful, love seeing these guys trade their stories

My Only wish for this video.. is Rondo being in this conversation. Dude so smart.

The key part is when Doc talks about the best player, shooter, etc is the one who practices the most, takes the most practice shots, out-practices everyone else. Key takeaway for anyone doing anything.

Great show. Live the insiderview.

This was soooooo 🔥🔥💯

I’m tearing up lol. This is gold!

One of the best yet

Loved it great episode.

I love the Heat but mad respect for this convo and the memories....good to see ya'll catch up and re-kindle the vibes

damn I wish this episode was longer. great convo

This was awesome

That one was a goodie!. Thanks ya'll

When I lived in Orlando, Tiger Woods came into a restaurant I worked at at the time and had the whole back section of the joint closed off. He was the first celebrity I had ever prepared a meal for so when I just heard KG say "nigga woods" that shit was 😂😂😂

Crazy episode😊. Great talk, men

"Oh now you wanna get some Cinnabons" Truth 😂😂😂😂😂

Bruh this was a GREAT episode! I had a smile on face the whole time from the stories and the knowledge… and this is from a die hard Lakers fan 😂

amazing pod ...Doc got stories for days , i always wanted to hear more from him Also interesting to see how loose everything was ...not treating Rondo like a rookie helped the team in the short run but that big unchecked ego hurt his career

great convo !

I enjoyed this sooo much!! It made me think and made me laugh.😊

*GYAAAAAAAAAT DAMN THIS WAS WAYYYYYY DOPER THAN I ACCEPTED*

No cap doc looks less Stressed man's even look a Lil younger

I love dis so much it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

45:16 I love it when these 2 get at eachother, Ill lock you up in Golf😂😂😂

Doc is a great coach It was never him in Philly it was James and the players

13:25 pure comedy! This whole segment hahah

OUTSTANDING

That was a dope & fun conversation
