The media clip should be available later.

But article link says it all. Thompson wont be shy to speak up and try help elevate JT/Brown etc games to the next level. Via the ways his Cavs team was lead by Lebron

My guess is that Danny Ainge was hoping this from Kyrie Irving. But that guy just wanted Lebron limelight and didnt know how to lead/got easily frustrated

In Thompson the Celts get their Haslem/Perkins figure. Not the best player on the team but wont be shy to hold other players accountable, stars or role players. 

Good signing by Ainge.

Is "LeBronism" the term for when your jaw gets weirdly big for "no apparent reason"?
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

Yep! That and bullying the refs into doing whatever you want.

TT can be that kind of leader because he is a solid player in his prime who has a ring and works like a junkyard dog.  I'm so excited to have that guy on our team.  I really think he will help push Brown, Tatum, and our younger guys to new levels.  As a guy who grew up loving to watch the defensive battles of the 90's, I'm excited to see Smart, Brown, Tatum, Thompson, and Theis or G Williams on the floor getting stops in crunch time.

Yes, just replace "instill" with "inject"

he said something about being a front court Marcus Smart too.

I really like that.

Tatum's gotta stop griping after nearly every play.

They all do it. Except Leonard or Jaylen Brown

Kemba goes nutty also

Kyle Lowry and his sidekick Nick Nurse. Nonstop....

The Cavs won a title not because of leadership, but because Lebron was better than everyone else.
