    Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens took time to talk with TNT sportscaster Ernie Johnson in the pandemic hiatus as the league geared up for a resumed 2019-20 season. The duo discussed his players’ participation in protests going on at the time and his history as a basketball player.

    Much of the conversation between the Celtics head coach and NBA analyst focused on the background of Stevens and what led him to become a coach of the league’s most storied franchise. They discussed his time as a pharmaceutical rep as he figured out what to do once his career as a Division III player ended, and touched on his experience playing the game.

    Johnson even dug up some footage of Stevens while he was still a high school basketball player, allegedly edited to make the Indiana native look a lot better than he supposedly was.

    Judge Stevens’ jumper if you want, but it’s a curious window into an era of the NBA executive’s life we don’t often get to see — watch the video embedded above for the clip.
