Danny AingeIf a player is a great athlete and has a good brain, shooting is the skill they can always learn
I mean, if a guy is a great athlete and a good player has a good brain but can't shoot, I think that's a good bet... they can learn that. Like Scotty Pippen, Magic Johnson... they weren't great shooters... they still would've been great players. Kawhi Leonard was another guy that wasn't a great shooter in college and turned out to be one of the best.

PFT CommenterKyrie Irving has never lost a closeout game
Kyrie Irving has never lost a closeout game. That's interesting. Yeah. So just remember that if you're new to DraftKings, listen up.
HankThe Celtics are a seasoned team that knows how to make big plays in high-pressure moments
The Celtics are a seasoned team that knows how to make big plays and that's what they did time and time again in this series. In the past when it feels like they turtle up in close games and kind of turn into more iso ball... they didn't do that at all. They found a way to win.
Big CatThe NBA scheduling is crazy for making teams wait until June 6th to start the Finals
I'm rooting for double sweep just so we can make fun of the NBA scheduling. Fans have to book their hotels and tickets months ago... there's no way anyone, any fan books their hotels and plane tickets for the NBA Finals months in advance. It doesn't make any sense.

Well, Michael Jordan. Yeah, I would say that's fair answer... Michael is so fun to play with, right. I mean, he's a great competitor as we all know.
Danny AingeThe 1986 Celtics are the greatest team of all time, better than the 1996 Bulls
No, no, no. Not up there. It's above [the 1996 Bulls]... Best team of all time. In my unbiased team... we were 50 and 1 [at home]. That's insane... we just assumed [playing the Lakers in the Finals] was gonna happen. We weren't gonna lose either way.
Danny AingeJimmy Butler is my biggest draft regret
I would say Jimmy Butler is the first one that comes to mind. It was, you know, he was a late first round pick and he was seriously in our thoughts of drafting and we went another direction and Jimmy turned out to be a great player. And that's probably the one I regret the most.
