“My favorite Boston athlete is Julian Edelman because he’s Jewish, and I’m Jewish and that feels really good.”
“Jayson Tatum because he's really committed to what he does for Boston and how he treats his players. [The Celtics] do a lot of coming to Boston and showing kids how to play basketball. People really appreciate that.”
“When I was really young, someone asked me who my favorite player on the Red Sox was. I didn't really know what to say, so I just said Dustin Pedroia. Then, I really loved him forever. I was a big Red Sox fan. I would root for him more than I'd root for the actual team and he became one of my heroes.”
“Payton Pritchard is my favorite athlete because he plays the game the right way, and he's a sharpshooter. He’s a shorter player and he challenged the norms. You have Tatum and Brown, who are 6’ 5 plus, and [then] you have Pritchard, who is 6' 2. He's a little guy and he makes [things] happen [on the court].”
“My favorite Boston athlete is probably Kristaps Porziņģis, a new player on the Celtics. He's going to be a great addition to our team and he's going to help us win our 18th ring. He’s new to Boston, so we should welcome him in.”
