Tom Brady will always be woven into Boston sports fabric. The Celtics reminded fans of that with a video released on Wednesday, a day before they face the Dallas Mavericks in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
The latest in the Celtics’ series of hype videos featured throughout the NBA playoffs was narrated by Brady, who best represents Boston’s championship pedigree with the six Super Bowl championships he won for the New England Patriots.
