Bill Simmons pure bliss when the Celtics drafted James Young

Haha I replayed his reaction multiple times it was fantastic and hilarious.




And which pick was this one lol

I prefer this one.

That was after Napier wound up on the Heat.

Well, Lebron said multiple times that he likes Shabazz. Let's see how that's going to work for them.

Haha kinda thought so but wasn't entirely sure. Thanks TP.

I know he said that, but right before the pick he was all over Harris.  That is who they should take and then reacts like that with Young.  Just total lunacy.

So he's not allowed to like more than one player in the draft? Why is it so ludicrous for him to be happy that one of the players he liked got drafted by his hometown team? Did you like more than one player in this draft, or is excitement a mutually exclusive element?

It was when the Celtics drafted Young with the seventeenth pick.  see the description in the post, and it was replayed twice last night during the draft.

So smart by Ainge to take the best player available at 17. It was also smart to take a player whose 18 & buried on a stacked team. Let everybody hype Randle & the Harrison's, & let me snag Young who may just have the biggest upside of them all.

Loved both picks, but Young is lotto type talent. Thanks for him Billy King.

That was my reaction to the Lakers lucking into Randle.  I worry about him turning into a star.
