Thanks Chris for talking to germanmhoops.com We have to talk basketball. The Boston Celtics finally won a title again since their last in 2008. How good is this for the NBA in general to have the Celtics back on the map?

This year has been really competitive. I am happy some guys from the Celtics have won a championship. I was rooting for Philly but to see JB get the MVP was also good.

Boston have had many critics the last years saying they didn´t have enough to win a title. Did this title surprise you a bit or did you see it coming?

I think once they got Jrue Holiday it completed their team. I feel he is a better more mature Marcus Smart. Him and White bring a crazy Defensive backcourt.

What was different this year? Was it just another year of experience for Tatum and Brown?

The fact they had a great team mixed with Tatum and Brown. Also a year of maturity and experience of being there already it was a perfect mixture.

What was your prediction going into the finals? Did you have Dallas or Boston winning it all?

I would have liked to see Kyrie win one for the story line but it is hard to bet against a full stacked team.

Both teams had 2 superstars a piece. If you had to rate the 2 against each other, which team would have the better complete package? Wouldn´t Dallas have the edge

If you go 2v2 Dallas won but team vs team its Celtics 10 VS Dallas 4 maybe.

Boston had the better supporting cast, but seriously would the Boston Celtics have won the title without Jrue Holiday?

No chance Jrue was the missing piece. He gives every guard hell on the defensive end and it shows.

Does this title run make him a top 5 point guard?

He is an underrated pg for sure Top5 is hard to get but he is making a good argument.

What is your perception of Luka Doncic not playing defense? Is it fair for his teammates that he plays so much and has to do so much offensively that he can take plays off on defense?

I think he is doing what he is paid to do. He does so much on the court already any defense you get from him is a bonus.

If you had to pick an unsung hero of the Boston Celtics who would it be? Would Derrick White be a good candidate?

Him and Jrue would have to share that title.

Is Jayson Tatum a top 5 NBA player now with this title?

JT is a top 5 player no question.

Could the Boston Celtics be a dynasty in the making? If you could add one piece who would it be?

I don´t think they need another piece. Only way I see them adding something is if Horford retires and they get another big for rim protection.

Thanks Chris for the chat
