Few Boston Celtics players have hit it off with the local fan base better than star big man Kristaps Porzingis has, but the Latvian center does not take the open-armed reception of his tenure with the storied ball club lightly. Embracing the history and high bar that comes with wearing a Celtics uniform, Porzingis has built a bond with the City of Boston and the fans of the team that has become a symbiotic relationship, helping to power the team in their efforts to repeat as champs this season.
Cohost of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast, Cameron Tabatabaie, had a chance to sit down and talk with KP about his ties to the community, and what it means to have the privilege to represent the Celtics on and off the court. The whole crew also gets into what the rough outline of the looming 2025 NBA Playoffs is starting to look like, as well as what Boston might do with their open 15th roster spot.
So make sure to tune in to this special episode of the pod -- we have a lot on the docket for a part of the season that supposedly doesn't matter very much.
Celtics Lab is brought to you by Prize Picks and Gametime.
