What have the Celtics accomplished though in the grand scheme of things post 2008? Seriously.
Show have won THREE chips since then

Why’s everything gotta be about LeBron man
Go back to the 2020 thread I ain't rehashing it out here. Damn near everybody in the organization was obsessed with the Show last year we've went over it several times. A bunch of pompous bloviating . But I understand if you wanna erase that from your memory and act like it never happened.
Kyrie Irving is not one of the 5 best scorers in the league
Yup...Jackie's right. Obviously the priority for each athlete is what's best for them but the NBA has a league to run. If you think things are bad now, imagine how stacked the Lakers would be if players got to choose which team they played for when coming into the league.
You're paid handsomely, and if you're not willing to do it, there's a long line of other people who are willing to move to an undesirable location to receive millions of dollars.
Yup...
If it's the other stuff going on in the world that's got his mind in other places, that's certainly understandable.
But miss me with the 'woe is me' nonsense about being someone's property while you're cashing $7m a year as a rookie that had to move to Cleveland. Boohoo.
You're taking his comments and making a separate argument and not the draft
A couple years ago my homie tried to give me the whole "NFL players or slaves" talk and made a bunch of analogies between the NFL and slavery ("owners", the NFL combine, etc). I'm thinking "I'll gladly be somebody's slave for millions of dollars a year". It would sure beat working at 9-5.
I'm not saying that sports leagues are perfect but miss me with the "I'm not somebody's property, they can't tell me what to do". Kyrie signed a contract and he's making $33m this season. The nets made a huge investment in him. If he really doesn't want to be somebody's property, he can gladly retire and miss out on the remaining $100m of his contract.
This 13-year long lovefest for the 2008 Celtics is so weird to me. Like you said, the Lakers have won three championships since then and people talk about it 1/10 As much as they talk about the 2008 Celtics. Is it because KG finally got one? You'll see podcasts in 2020 and 2021 still talking about the '08 Celtics.
It's not even like they were a dominant playoff team. The eighth seed hawks took them to seven games and a Cleveland team that was essentially just a LeBron took them to seven games. They're not some all-time great team or anything
