Larry Bird Showed The Celtics How To Compete
Dee Brown joins to reflect on his time with the Boston Celtics, including his unforgettable moments with Larry Bird. Dee shares some fun (and clean!) stories about playing alongside Bird and how the Celtics’ historic legacy shaped his career. Larry Bird was the ultimate competitor but also the ultimate teammate and Dee found that out quickly!
He also talks about the emotional experience of being traded by the Celtics and Rick Pitino, his relationship with the late Reggie Lewis, and his transition to playing for the Raptors and Magic. Dee recalls his iconic Dunk Contest win, including the famous "no-look" dunk, and his partnership with Reebok during his career.
Dee reflects on his journey from Jacksonville to the NBA, his time with Tracy McGrady in Orlando, and the pride he felt when his daughter was drafted by the Connecticut Sun, following in his footsteps.
Join Travis, Ountae, and Dee for an insightful episode filled with basketball stories, personal memories, and reflections on an incredible career! Catch 'Hold My Banner' every Wednesday and Friday on NESN's Youtube, Twitch, Facebook, and wherever you listen to podcasts.
