BOSTON - RJ Hunter fell in the draft this past June to the Celtics at the 28th pick. For such a successful player at the collegiate level with a game tailor made for the modern NBA game, Hunter is carrying a chip on his shoulder. "I've always been that little light-slinned, skinny coach's kid. So I've always had that attitude on the court."

"That's somethat I need though," Hunter said. "If I don't have that, I'm not aggressive enough. I'm kind of passoive. So I think I always have to have that chip on my shoulder."

Watch the playlist above for pregame interviews with Hunter, Jordan Mickey and Brad Stevens. Plus a bonus bizzarre interview with Brooklyn Nets coach Lionel Hollins, in which he makes one of the weirdest possibly-intentional jokes in recent NBA memory.
