Were you a Celtic fan growing up?

Always, still am.

Was it heartbreaking to watch and lose the Knicks?

Yeah, but they only lost because, you know,

Taitam got injured.

You know you guys were down like 14 with three minutes left when he got to do. We're down by seven, it's cool though. Was it seven? Yeah. So you think you guys would have won that game or you would have won seven in Boston?

It didn't matter we're going to win a series.

They can have their fun for now as New York.

They still lost in a conference trip.

This championship two years ago is the first one you were old enough to really like experience. I mean, I was at games when Paul Pearson and KG was. You were? Yeah, I was won, but he took me to some games. What's up everybody and welcome to Boardroom Talks. Boston. Waited at the airport for seven hours. I already got his pops off camera mad at me. Please welcome to the show, AJ D. Bonsa. You like being in New York City? Love New York City. Where are you from? Right here in New York City. You're born and raised. Born and raised, bro.

and you was there you're from there all right talk and walk talk and walk all right it seems to me

that you're this like new rare breed of athlete right where obviously the work comes first obviously

the work ethic that you've had to have to get you to where you are today has

I mean, basketball is my passion, so regardless of what happens, basketball is going to be first, and I know everything's going to take care of itself if basketball works out.
