Wyc Grousbeck on 2024 Celtics: 'I love these guys so much. This is a lifelong bond'

CHARLIE CHAPLIN FILM OR NOT, BUT WE’RE EFFORTING THAT WHEN IT COMES TO CHAPLIN. WANT TO LISTEN TO THE OWNER OF THE TEAM TALKING RIGHT NOW? LET’S LISTEN IN. RICK ROSS BACK. PEOPLE WERE ASKING ME LAST NIGHT, ARE YOU EXCITED OR WHAT? I SAID, I’M EXCITED ABOUT 2008 STUFF NOW. WE GOT 24 TO CELEBRATE AND THANKS TO EVERYBODY FOR COMING OUT. YOU SAID TODAY WAS DIFFERENT THAN 2008. WHAT WAS IT ABOUT THE CROWDS AND EVERYTHING? YOU KNOW, THERE’S JUST SOMETHING SPECIAL. THIS IS A VERY THIS IS A GREAT CITY WHERE THE CITY OF CHAMPIONS, WE HAD ANOTHER BANNER TO THE COUNT. I LOVE IT WHEN YOU WERE ON THE DUCK BOAT. CAN YOU JUST TAKE US THROUGH WHAT IS COMING IN? THE CROWDS WERE JUST, YOU KNOW, DEAFENING. IT WAS DEAFENING. YOU KNOW, YOU MAKE THAT TURN ON THE CAUSEWAY AND YOU EXPECT TO HAVE TEN DEEP AND IT’S 100 DEEP AND IT GOES FROM THERE. AND IS YOU ON CLOUD NINE OR WHAT CLOUD ARE YOU ON? I’M ON CLOUD 18. I GOT 18. HOW MUCH FUN WAS THAT FROM START TO FINISH? START TO FINISH. WELL, IT FEELS LIKE WE GOT MORE TO DO. I MEAN I GOT TO GO DESIGN A RING WITH THE GUYS AND WE GOT TO RAISE THE BANNER IN OCTOBER. THERE’S MORE TO DO, BUT WE’RE GOING TO BUILD THE TEAM FOR NEXT YEAR. WE’RE GOING TO ENJOY THIS FOR NOW, THOUGH, PLAYERS HAVE TALKED IN THE PAST ABOUT WHEN YOU COME OUT AND MAKE THAT TURN ONTO CAUSEWAY, THAT’S WHEN IT HITS IT. WHEN A CHAMPIONSHIP IS ON IT TWICE NOW, WHAT’S THAT SECOND FEELING LIKE? THE SECOND FEELS? SOMEHOW IT’S EVEN SWEETER. I DON’T KNOW HOW IT COULD POSSIBLY BE. I LOVE EIGHT, I LOVE 24, I LOVE THESE GUYS SO MUCH. THIS IS A LIFELONG BOND. WHEN YOU LOOKED, WERE YOU AMAZED AT THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE? I FILMED IT FOR LIKE TEN STRAIGHT MINUTES. FINALLY PUT THE CAMERA AWAY BECAUSE YOU KNOW, I CAN REMEMBER IT. IT WAS JUST SPECTA
