Rozier is referring to himself in the third person. He thinks he is one of the best point guards in the league. Having a ego is understandable because having confidence is vital for success but there is a thin line between confidence and delusion. Rozier is definitely capable of being a good starter in the NBA but i dont see him as a star point guard.
kharis87 you’re absolutely right with that assessment. 👍🏽 How can you talk like this when you haven’t done anything yet in the league? I don’t think he’s going to have a good career in the league. Until he’s much older.
@@Eastsiderep40 hes too delusional. not one person in the world would start him over any top 10 point guard in the league. Hes arguably up there with Dennis Schroeder and reggie jackson at his best. Hes not as good as Kyle Lowry which is the bottom of the top 10.
This situation reminds me of when Reggie Jackson left the thunder. He was so overhyped even though he was a solid PG. Yes Terry rozier is good but not even on the level of kemba yet. We'll see
Yeah i remember reggie and i think this is a similiar situation aswell.... i think he put his foot in his mouth with these interviews... all he had to do is fall back and let the C's give him the bag smh
D Smoove The Reggie Jackson comparison is bogus honestly. Terry came in and out played Eric Bledsoe, ROTY Ben Simmons, and helped take the Cavs to 7. One thing folk don’t realize is he was the only active PG for Boston I think game 3 of round 2 when Larkin went down. Rozier showed everyone what he’s capable of given the opportunity. Hell he averaged 16 5 5 during the playoffs, not only that but had clutch plays offensively and defensively. Rozier showed his worth and it’s been better than Reggie Jackson’s
@@percyschannel4187 nice opinion but I'm not thinking on a low level like you I'm thinking macro. Just because things are similar it doesn't make them the same and I wasn't thinking like that. But thanks for taking the time to respond 👍
This fool made it very clear why the Celtics underachieved this year. That locker room was toxic. Dude sitting on national tv running his mouth like teenage girl smh.
True But I SERIOUSLY BELIEVE that ainge should build this team around ROBERT WILLIAMS, as imho has WAY more upside and is better than BOTH Tatum & brown Combined .
I don’t think this interview helped his stock at all. On top of that he shooting under 40% from the field. Not sure if he’s quite ready for the big stage. Lot of the young guns should have focused on winning. That might have translated into securing the bag more than individual numbers. Start for half the teams in the league. I doubt hat SAS.
I think the problem with the Celtics was everyone’s egos clashing combined with them not assessing every situation carefully. First, I believe kyrie’s first year with the Celtics was great. He led the team to the second seed (55-27). This was when the team accepted him as a leader and was some what willing to have a reduced roll on the team. During that season I believe they went on a twenty game win streak and kyrie was willingly sharing the rock. The problem started when they went on that playoff run without kyrie and the media gassed the young players up. They started to question whether kyrie should lead the team and why they have a small roll when they played in weak eastern conference(the bucks team they played last year was terrible). Of course kyrie deserves a lot of blame. He only made things worse with his antics but it’s hard to control a players ego when the the player you are trying to control is upset with you instead of another player. It also didn’t help that the media kept making it worse and these players kept listening. If you read this far I overall think that the Celtics main problem was the young players including kyrie just being young and dumb, not assessing every situation with careful thinking, and allowing outside forces to affect their judgment.
The Fro u have to be able to follow before u can lead! Kyrie didn’t want to be under lebron’s leadership, thought he was the man. Then he found out it’s nt that easy to be the man!
All True it's that Playoff run that made some of them think they was bigger than they realistically aren't , atleast not yet : but I TRULY BELIEVE that Brad Stevens is the most to blame , because of the fact that he didn't fully trusted his deep bench , an kept using the same lineup over and over and over again to where it became predictable .
@@NobodyGreaterthanJesus true , but it was brads Stevens fault for not being a coach : but rather a guy that just called plays . an didn't believe in using other bigs on the bench , just to keep the same starting 5 all season .
@@NobodyGreaterthanJesus forget building the team around Tatum & brown ROBERT WILLIAMS has WAY more upside to his potential than those two ever did , KG should train an mentor him , pierce should train Tatum & Tracy should help brown .
Rozier 🤦🏾♂️ this was a very interesting day watching the highlights of ESPN with Rozier. He was, to me, the Celtic mole in the media. The manner in which the rumors were spreading, it had to be him.
Rozier jealous on Kyrie & Gordon's money bec he thinks he's better? Dude, Kyrie & Gordon both were All Stars & proved their value in the league way before your little run last yr. They've earned it, even if you can give them fits in practise. That's just shows immaturity.
Terry Rozier reminds me a lot of Dennis Schroder when he was backing up Jeff Teague in Atlanta. Schroder and the Hawks thought he was ready to be a starter and moved Teague. It didnt turn out well for the Hawks or Schroder. Now Schroder is a back up to Westbrook in OKC, and thriving. Peace.
What if Kobe inserted/ planted the proverbial seed in the minds of Kyrie and Jason Tatum to cause disruption in the team's chemistry to continue his battle against the Celtics lineage/ legacy 😂😂😂,... #Diabolicalgenius 24allday
Kyrie first year as a leader was poor. But he is still young. Hope he learns from it and moves forward. Boston should keep Kyrie and let Rozier go and trade Brown and Tatum. Rozier, Brown and Tatum all believe they are stars which is delusional right now so they need to go to seperate pastures. Boston wasnt a collective........they were just a gang of talented individuals which crashed and burned.
Been saying that all along. Once the season started and saw how Brown and Tatum was playing i was like hell no. Taking bad shots bad body language and shit. I think the celtics should unload them for some veteran players. Hayward gonna be fine all he needs is another offseason to completely heal up and he is gonna be back cooking.
@@5starathlete804 the core has to be Kyrie, Hayward, Al Horford and hopefully they can get Vucevic in free agency. You put that with Marcus Smart and that is a contender. Hopefully Hayward comes back to what i remember him as in Utah. Chain of command in team requires that Tatum, Brown and Rozier go. The team can also be bolstered by what Boston can get back for Brown and Tatum. Boston needs to let Rozier be signed elsewhere.
Another very good chime in. My take: 1. Ability & contribution of Tatum & Brown higher than originally expected or Ainge would not hv paid Hayward that much. That was not supposed to happen if Hayward didn't hv that horrific injury that gave both a lot of playing time. 2. Kyrie's announcement at start of season means he was a snake to immediately screw Rozier as Kyrie was getting beat in practices. 3. Stevens' failure - He clearly was not the alpha / dominating coaches like Pop & Riley. But I did see Stevens called timeout in several occasions to stop Kyrie to go hero ball in end of games & drew up winning play & scored instead. And I fully agree that Ainge was the one telling Stevens to go with his strategy. So cannot fully blame Stevens. When boss tells you the direction, you follow. 4. Ainge's tactics to show max value in Kyrie & Hayward in order to consider trading them are understandable but I think he didn't pull the trigger bec most GMs saw the type of person Kyrie is, & no one wanted to give up assets for a few months' rental. Once after trade deadline, 1 game before the Rockets game Kyrie started to really play the right way, on both ends, up until playoffs & including G1 of Bucks series. My hunch is when Ainge spoke to him (this was in the media), he prob told Kyrie "we've given you enough time to get your stats & showcase yr value. Now it's time to play ball as we need you to play the right way to try & win a championship. If you don't follow that, I'll gell Brad to sit yr ass down & you'll get 15 mins / game & we'll let Rozier run the show & push down yr value"
Wouldn't mind kemba joining us if etheir Kyrie or rozier walks : or hell if both of them leaves I STILL wouldn't mind them going after kemba , but I TRULY believe that ROBERT WILLIAMS is better than both Tatum & brown COMBINED , an that ainge should consider building the future of the team around him tbh.
@@Cj-hj6rm Identity of Celtics under Stevens is defense first, grit & ball movement. Not sure Kemba is a good fit as he also holds the ball too much & suspect on D. Williams has a lot of physical gifts & seems to hv good ball sense as he's been mostly on spot on PnR & on D, except for his tendency to chase for blocks than to play D with verticality, box out & rebound / let teammates rebound. His shot & form is still very very weak so he is clearly a work in process, as a player. His mindset was way off at the start then sort of had a whipping before got under "leashed" & seems to be appreciative of what he has based on what he said in his interviews (Remember, NBA teaches players what words, phrases to say in front of camera. Notice how consistent they are at most times from rookies to veterans, even star players!) So mindset wise, Brown is the most awesome young player within the Celtics group, as he had several games single-handedly willed the Celtics back & won. He is also not afraid of the moment & never backs down, no fear. After he got thru the hand injury that he tried not to blame on before All Star Break (ASB) , plus a bit of a beef going on with Kyrie & getting used to his minutes, he has been the most steady & impressive Celtics on both ends from ASB onwards, & esp in Pacers series. You can teach & learn skills but high IQ & tough alpha mindset & knows exactly what he wants, at this young an age, this kid MUST be kept in Boston. He MUST, however, improve his FTs. He was the lone one trying to get to the hoop & line consistently since ASB. Tatum is already tainted by Kobe. Even though he did get more opp to learn to be the 1st & 2nd option to read defense & create opp for his teammates, he struggled all yr esp first 20 games mightily. He has been holding the ball too long in reading the defense, not by intention (Kobe & Kyrie) but bec of experience. Last summer he did not improve himself in areas he should have: defensive footwork, & left side moves & finishes with left hand. Notice that his favorite moves in left side is mostly step back long 2s, where he is way more active with drives to hoop on right side that initiates with his right right. If Kyrie is gone & Ainge & Stevens get his mind right to focus on improvement, not just $ & fame, he'll still has a chance to be Pierce 2.0.
@@makgeoff but kemba would just be a SG , an will pass the ball , ONLY reason he seemed like a ball hog in Charlotte , was that nobody on that team was an effective shooter like he was , which is why he was able to play as much hero ball as possible : he'll flourish under brads system , an become a pass first player for the team. an I do agree with you on tatum try mimicking Kobe's moveset ... Which was a Terrible idea from the start , which is what dropped his value from the start ... an is better off training with etheir Paul or kg .
@@makgeoff an tatums dad was right on the money , when he said FROM THE START when tatum was drafted by boston , that he should try learning under pierce .
Now that Rozier and Walker have essentially switched teams, it's going to be interesting to see what Rozier is truly made of. He showcased a sample of his talent in the season before as he cooked Eric Bledsoe in the playoffs. Gonna be keepin' an eye on this young brother.
Kyrie learned leadership from LeBron. But he's not as talented as LeBron. But as a Celtics fan I saw it coming. LeBron doesn't work well with young talent. Neither did Kyrie. Instead of trying to fit in a system, something Kyrie wanted to be the system. Same as LeBron. And of course the the passive-aggressive thing LeBron does, Kyrie was doing. Add the defense wasn't as good as last year, and coach did poor job managing the egos, 2nd round is where I thought we'd be
Rozier has an overrated opinion of himself! He shoots 38%, poor finisher and mediocre playmaker. He is a great rebounder and defender when he wants to. I am hoping the Celtics improve on him. Goodbye Kyrie and Rozier!
Rozier is the Jackie Bradley of the Celtics. When he's good, he's very good. When he's bad, he sucks. Rozier was awful this year. Re: Hayward, you could tell that he wasn't right physically every night... but, even on the nights he didn't do much (or anything), you could tell that he still knew how to play, but he just couldn't execute. Overall, a bad year for Hayward, but he was still much better than Rozier. I think that Kyrie AND Rozier are both gone.
They team goes to the conference finals last year. These guys come back and get popped in the 1st round by the team that they put out last year. He had a great year in the absence of these guys so I see why he feels that way.
Imma Celtics supporter but I have major questions about Brad Stevens. He’s a great mind but this season showed he cannot manage his egos. Every championship coach could handle egos, not sure if Brad can.
Dude you got shots up. You chucked up alot of bricks. You aren't a knock down shooter and you aren't a better iso player than Kyrie. So what are you saying?. You can neither shoot nor penetrate better than Kyrie and it's not even close. Are you just asking to be traded to a worse team so you can get more burn???
This needs to be said from the jump: The young guys know Gordon is soft...listen to Terry as he references him; he's uncomfortable even saying his name. He's being paid like a boss, but has the personality of a worker; these guys see this because they either have developing boss mentalities or demand that if one is getting paid like one, he better act/play like one so they can fall in line behind that. Under other circumstances, Gordon would be a third or fourth option with starters on teams as talented as the Celtics but was force fit into the lineup to their detriment. This created the issues with him on that team and he played like a guy (no more injury excuses) who was burdened by his contract, was pressured into the lineup by coach/management out of a brand of loyalty not shown to anyone else on the roster and knew the younger guys can outshine him any day. Kyrie is a whole other ball of bullshit as is the coach. We all saw this coming in the preseason when they played like shit, the coach kept saying they aren't playing right, nothing was done about it, no expectations were set and the offense/defense dynamic was screwed for 82 games. Never so happy to see a Celtics season end in my life....I wish Oladipo didn't get hurt because they would not have made it out of the first round.
I really don’t think Terry Rozier is envious. I think he’s just talking about the facts as they were. The money played a part in a couple ways A) you have to justify Hayward’s pay scale if for no other reason than to showcase him and B) Irving doesn’t have the same constraints because he’s paid and will continue to be paid. He doesn’t really have to “prove” anything in the way the younger guys were
Rozier is just competitive you can tell by how he went at Bledsoe last year In the playoffs I honestly thinks he thinks he’s better than kyrie I can imagine how intense practice was with these two
I dont think he's really envious of his money but the fact that hes making all that money and basically not contributing how much hes supposed to. Ya see that he didnt say anything about kyries's money because he actually had the stats and game winners to back his up
Well the one thing i'll say is that the numbers actually show that the team played better without Kyrie, so the "young dudes" sort of proved it. It's too bad. The ceiling should've been through the roof with Kyrie. I also don't want to hear Kyrie saying things about "team" ball when he didn't move the ball well and integrate the people around him well most of the time either.
Kyrie hit one of the biggest shots to make Lebron a goat… So hows Kyrie on Lerbon level? Teaming up? Lebron had super teams for all his chips and still lost
Pippen 6 rings > Kobe 5 rings Shaquille O'Neal 3 finals mvps best player on Lakers 3peat and Kobe Bryant a sidekick First Ring Kobe 15.6 ppg and 36.7% fg an 20% 3pt Carried by Shaq 38 ppg and 61% fg an 16 rpg. Kobe Bryant 44.7% fg most missed shots all time isnt top 9 all time player. 2011 playoffs Mavs 4-0 swept Kobe😂
I don't know why these guys are much mouthing about how bad Gordon Hayward was it shouldn't got that much playing time you never really recovered from his injury and compared to everybody else on the team it was not a starter
Coj I'm glad you mentioned that he has an owl tattoo on his neck you know how it is you go from college or high school to making millions of dollars you have to follow the culture of the NBA and get a bunch of tattoos tatted on your skin to be fully in
In all fairness, why would the young players worry about the “team” when unlike Kyrie, they havent gotten their big payday yet?! Of course they’re worried about themselves. Kyrie has made millions and has a shoe deal. These guys are playing for their bag.
Oh shit- when he spoke on those players money that was eye opening. Jealousy and envious energy.

an I do agree with you on tatum try mimicking Kobe's moveset ... Which was a Terrible idea from the start , which is what dropped his value from the start ... an is better off training with etheir Paul or kg .
@@makgeoff an the 2010 nba finals game 7 was RIGGED
@@makgeoff an tatums dad was right on the money , when he said FROM THE START when tatum was drafted by boston , that he should try learning under pierce .
Now that Rozier and Walker have essentially switched teams, it's going to be interesting to see what Rozier is truly made of. He showcased a sample of his talent in the season before as he cooked Eric Bledsoe in the playoffs. Gonna be keepin' an eye on this young brother.
Molly Qerim's attempts to relate to popular culture are cringe worthy. I can't stand her final points on topics. Cringe worthy.
Kyrie learned leadership from LeBron. But he's not as talented as LeBron. But as a Celtics fan I saw it coming. LeBron doesn't work well with young talent. Neither did Kyrie. Instead of trying to fit in a system, something Kyrie wanted to be the system. Same as LeBron. And of course the the passive-aggressive thing LeBron does, Kyrie was doing. Add the defense wasn't as good as last year, and coach did poor job managing the egos, 2nd round is where I thought we'd be
True , but I didn't think we would only win 1 game 😕
To be fair lebron showed great leadership his first 7 years in cle
Turns up to the interview dressed in black and white.
Rozier has an overrated opinion of himself! He shoots 38%, poor finisher and mediocre playmaker. He is a great rebounder and defender when he wants to. I am hoping the Celtics improve on him. Goodbye Kyrie and Rozier!
We can get kemba to take both of their spots .
Yes! Would be nice!!
@@michaelauger8077 an build the team around robert
Rozier is the Jackie Bradley of the Celtics. When he's good, he's very good. When he's bad, he sucks. Rozier was awful this year. Re: Hayward, you could tell that he wasn't right physically every night... but, even on the nights he didn't do much (or anything), you could tell that he still knew how to play, but he just couldn't execute. Overall, a bad year for Hayward, but he was still much better than Rozier. I think that Kyrie AND Rozier are both gone.
They team goes to the conference finals last year. These guys come back and get popped in the 1st round by the team that they put out last year. He had a great year in the absence of these guys so I see why he feels that way.
... and Danny Ainge had the nerve to try and clown the Lakers about their ongoing debacle in Los Angeles
This is nothing compared to the Lakers shit show lmao. Atleast Celtics compete
David Howard He did that because he knew Boston won in that game 7 in the 2010 finals , had it not been for the officials.
OG LOC did you really go there with the officials? Lol #cryinggame
Hey Judah what's your take on Magic Johnson coming out and saying why he stepped down?
I think he realized, no matter how much & how great he is to that organization. He's still a nigga(Jay-Z quote).
Imma Celtics supporter but I have major questions about Brad Stevens. He’s a great mind but this season showed he cannot manage his egos. Every championship coach could handle egos, not sure if Brad can.
Could be the players are tuning him out. After all he has been there for 6-7 years now
Dude you got shots up. You chucked up alot of bricks. You aren't a knock down shooter and you aren't a better iso player than Kyrie. So what are you saying?. You can neither shoot nor penetrate better than Kyrie and it's not even close. Are you just asking to be traded to a worse team so you can get more burn???
d league all star with zero grasp on his own game.
they're just trying to sweet talk him so he stays a loyal informant lmao
This needs to be said from the jump: The young guys know Gordon is soft...listen to Terry as he references him; he's uncomfortable even saying his name. He's being paid like a boss, but has the personality of a worker; these guys see this because they either have developing boss mentalities or demand that if one is getting paid like one, he better act/play like one so they can fall in line behind that. Under other circumstances, Gordon would be a third or fourth option with starters on teams as talented as the Celtics but was force fit into the lineup to their detriment. This created the issues with him on that team and he played like a guy (no more injury excuses) who was burdened by his contract, was pressured into the lineup by coach/management out of a brand of loyalty not shown to anyone else on the roster and knew the younger guys can outshine him any day. Kyrie is a whole other ball of bullshit as is the coach. We all saw this coming in the preseason when they played like shit, the coach kept saying they aren't playing right, nothing was done about it, no expectations were set and the offense/defense dynamic was screwed for 82 games. Never so happy to see a Celtics season end in my life....I wish Oladipo didn't get hurt because they would not have made it out of the first round.
I really don’t think Terry Rozier is envious. I think he’s just talking about the facts as they were. The money played a part in a couple ways A) you have to justify Hayward’s pay scale if for no other reason than to showcase him and B) Irving doesn’t have the same constraints because he’s paid and will continue to be paid. He doesn’t really have to “prove” anything in the way the younger guys were
Rozier is just competitive you can tell by how he went at Bledsoe last year In the playoffs I honestly thinks he thinks he’s better than kyrie I can imagine how intense practice was with these two
He is not Kyrie and will never be. He is a diet Reggie Jackson
Better than Kyrie? Really?
HE AIN’T NO KYRIE
Keith Mur... I mean Terry Rozier was balling in the 2018 playoffs.
Agreed,they didn't need to sign Gordon Hayward. Brown and Tatum are good enough..
I dont think he's really envious of his money but the fact that hes making all that money and basically not contributing how much hes supposed to. Ya see that he didnt say anything about kyries's money because he actually had the stats and game winners to back his up
Don't forget the color of Gordon's skin, Judah.
Scary Terry will be in Phoenix at the start of the next season
heard Phoenix will give u the 6th pick for a vet. point guard
Well the one thing i'll say is that the numbers actually show that the team played better without Kyrie, so the "young dudes" sort of proved it. It's too bad. The ceiling should've been through the roof with Kyrie. I also don't want to hear Kyrie saying things about "team" ball when he didn't move the ball well and integrate the people around him well most of the time either.
This dude just totally exposed himself
Kyrie hit one of the biggest shots to make Lebron a goat… So hows Kyrie on Lerbon level? Teaming up? Lebron had super teams for all his chips and still lost
This dude is super immature and in over his head
10:33 facts!
Y’all peep Stephen A with the forces?
He called the Celtics nutjobs. Lol. I would just call them selfish lmao
T-ro can leave to make room for kemba
I disagree with you!!! Kyrie is very talented he's just not a leader!!!
Andy Velasquez that’s kinda what he’s harped on this past season.
Kobe 5 chips he played with in a system, stop with all the kobe jabs.
Pippen 6 rings > Kobe 5 rings
Shaquille O'Neal 3 finals mvps best player on Lakers 3peat and Kobe Bryant a sidekick
First Ring
Kobe 15.6 ppg and 36.7% fg an 20% 3pt
Carried by
Shaq 38 ppg and 61% fg an 16 rpg.
Kobe Bryant 44.7% fg most missed shots all time isnt top 9 all time player.
2011 playoffs
Mavs 4-0 swept Kobe😂
Also had shaq
I. e. Steve Kerr (Brad Stevens managing personalities )
I don't know why these guys are much mouthing about how bad Gordon Hayward was it shouldn't got that much playing time you never really recovered from his injury and compared to everybody else on the team it was not a starter
Gordon is getting money and theyre not thats why
Terry Rozier is also affiliated with the Pirus in Ohio. His little cousin plays football at my college who is also a Piru
I knew he was a G people mad cause he exposed Kyrie soft azz they a bunch of goofys
ROZIER TURN OUT BE A BUM 😅😅
Such a waste of a season.
He is better than Collison
@Damon Case We will see.
Coj I'm glad you mentioned that he has an owl tattoo on his neck you know how it is you go from college or high school to making millions of dollars you have to follow the culture of the NBA and get a bunch of tattoos tatted on your skin to be fully in
In all fairness, why would the young players worry about the “team” when unlike Kyrie, they havent gotten their big payday yet?! Of course they’re worried about themselves. Kyrie has made millions and has a shoe deal. These guys are playing for their bag.
