It's the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.

Welcome back to the Lockdown Podcast.

Thank you for making this show part of your routine.

I'm John Corralis here with a special series for you.

This week and next week, it's a deep dive into the Brad Stevens coaching era.

If you remember, if you're a regular listener, back when the pandemic shut down the NBA,

Mike Dynan, Chuck McKenney and I took turns talking about the entirety of Boston

Celtic history from day one, from the formation of the team, getting us all the way into the Brad Stevens era.

Well, now we're basically going to finish that, and now that Brad Stevens has moved upstairs,

we're going to take a deep dive, seven episode deep dive into that Brad Stevens coaching era.

So that's going to start today.

Four shows this week, three shows next week, and then media day comes up on that following Monday.

Next season is right around the corner.

So I hope you enjoy this deep dive into the Brad Stevens coaching era.

All right, guys, this is great.

The old Red Army team, RIP Red Army, the fellas here, going back through the Brad Stevens era.

So let's go back to July 3rd, 2013, eight years ago.

I can't really remember eight days ago, but we're going to go back to eight years ago, and that initial shock.

I remember, I do remember I was working at NBC in New York at the time, and I'm sitting there in a newsroom,

and someone looks at me because they knew I do, I was all into the Boston Celtics, and they said,

Oh, you guys hired Brad Stevens.
