Rajon Rondo retired this week after a 16 year career that included two championships, multiple all-defense teams and recording the 4th most assists in Celtics history. His post-Boston stops included Sacramento, Chicago, New Orleans, the Lakers and brief Atlanta and Clippers stints before a 2022 finale in Cleveland. Rondo has discussed an interest in coaching, which Bobby Manning and Nick Gelso weighed alongside his Hall of Fame candidacy and where Rondo ranks among all-time Celtics point guards on a breaking news edition of the Garden Report on CLNS History.

Dan Shaughnessy Tells LARRY BIRD STORIES Never heard Before!

The second of our latest anthology focused on the legacy media, The old NBA and the symbiotic relationship between the two. 

The Boston Globe legend, Dan Shaugnessy did what many like him during the pandemic lockdowns, he wrote a book on being on the road with the NBA of the 1980’s, particularly Larry Bird and the 1980’s Boston Celtics. 

Shaugnessy provides a very unique and rare uncensored glimpse at the media life during a league that needed the media to promote their games and the media needed the athletes to build their stories. 

Symbiotic and extinct.

The Larry Bird’s Impact on the 2024 All-Star Weekend, Current Players Awestruck by Celtics Legend.

The NBA All Star game always have an over lining theme of nostalgia. This event is not only the greatest compilation or current NBA talent but it also reunites more NBA legends, in 1 city for a long weekend. For boomers like me, it’s absolutely basketball bliss. 

CLNS sent 2 reporters and a camera crew to cover the star studded event. Needless to say that when it was apparent that Larry Bird would headline the entire week, I was quite jealous and angry with myself for passing on the opportunity to attend as credentialed media. 

Once our reporters returned from Indianapolis, I wasted no time in getting Bobby Manning in the studio to discuss all things Larry Bird, All Star Friday & Saturday and the lousy “main event,” the actual game which most no one over 15 years old truly enjoyed. 

We also discuss the impact being around Larry Legend had on the all star players, especially our Celtics, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

In this riveting episode, we’re joined by the legendary Charles Oakley as we dive deep into the world of NBA management. Oakley pulls no punches as he shares his candid thoughts on the distinct eras of NBA leadership, comparing the robust approach of David Stern to the contemporary style of Adam Silver.

Charles Oakley and Michael Cooper, two of the most respected figures in basketball, sit down with Mike "Coop" Cooper on "Showtime with Coop" for an honest and insightful discussion about Pat Riley, one of the most successful coaches in NBA history. Oakley, a former NBA power forward who played for the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, and Toronto Raptors, and Cooper, a former NBA shooting guard and a key player for the Showtime Lakers, share their experiences playing under Riley and highlight some of his flaws that are not commonly discussed in the media.

As one of the most winningest coaches in NBA history, Pat Riley's impact on the game is unquestionable. He led the Showtime Lakers to four NBA championships and later coached the Miami Heat to their first championship in 2006. However, like any great leader, Riley had his flaws, and in this episode, Oakley and Cooper shed light on some of those lesser-known aspects of his coaching style. They discuss his intense work ethic, demanding nature, and sometimes controversial motivational tactics.

Moreover, they share stories from their playing days, reflect on their matchups against other NBA legends like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson, and discuss the evolution of the game from the 80s and 90s to the present day. This episode is not only a deep dive into the mind of a coaching legend but also a reflection on the journey and experiences of two incredible athletes who played during one of the most exciting eras in NBA history.

Don't miss this episode of "Showtime with Coop" on CLNS Media, as it is not just a basketball discussion, but a lesson in leadership, teamwork, and the psychology of sports.

Join us for an engaging debate on the CLNS Media Podcast as we compare the defensive prowess of two Boston Celtics legends: Marcus Smart and Dennis Johnson. These two formidable guards have left a lasting impact on the Celtics franchise, and we've gathered insights from Celtics icons who played with DJ to shed light on what made both players special.

Discover who excels defensively as we explore the unique qualities that defined Dennis Johnson and delve into what made him resonate with the stars he defended. Furthermore, we analyze Marcus Smart's potential impact in the years to come and discuss whether he can match DJ's influence.

But we want to hear from you! Do you prefer Dennis Johnson or Marcus Smart as the Celtics' defensive powerhouse? Share your opinion and join the debate.

CLNS Media presents the "Boston Celtics Debate: Marcus Smart vs. Dennis Johnson," where we explore the rich lineage of Hall of Fame backcourt players in Celtics history. From Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman to Rajon Rondo and Isaiah Thomas, we've witnessed remarkable stars donning the green and white.

When it comes to elite defenders in the Celtics' backcourt, the debate narrows down to two names: Dennis Johnson and Marcus Smart. Dennis Johnson's six All-Defensive First Team selections and pivotal role in two NBA championships speak to his defensive prowess. However, Marcus Smart, the 2022 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, has earned a reputation as one of the league's premier defenders today.

While Johnson boasts an impressive defensive resume, Smart's unique abilities and relentless competitiveness set him apart. He anticipates opponents' moves with precision, displays impeccable timing, and consistently delivers game-changing plays. LeBron James himself referred to Smart as the toughest player he's faced.

Join us as we examine the pure defensive skills of both players and explore whether Smart surpasses Johnson in this aspect. While Johnson is undoubtedly a defensive great, Smart stands in a class of his own when it comes to defensive guards.

Prepare to be shocked as we dive deep into the Marcus Smart vs. Dennis Johnson debate, only on the CLNS Media Podcast.
