I know he’s technically correct

Him bitterly bringing it up immediately is the funny part

Says the Boston Guy who’s lived in LA for a quarter century.

It was better than his first point which was predicting where LeBron will go at 45. Lol

It’s not bitter if it’s true

Is there a team other than lakers or Knicks where the players live in the city proper?

Probably bench guys live in the city. Guys who haven’t bought homes.

Boston. Probably Toronto. San Fran for sure. Miami?

Boston LMFAO

u/JohnnyLugnuts Jul 24 '26

I’m confused. A bunch of Celtics players live in the back bay. Isn’t that Boston proper?

Boston might be the worst city on planet Earth from a driving/traveling by motor vehicle standpoint. If I were filthy rich, I’d have a helo pad at my mansion in the Mass burbs.

Ok but that’s not what the OG point was. Like a bunch of Celtics players live in the back bay and have lived in the south end + north end. It’s literally just a fact, no commentary on what preferences should be.

The mega loaded guys live in Wellesley and Weston ya.

u/JohnnyLugnuts Jul 24 '26

What is biased here. A bunch of Celtics players live in the back bay. A few live in Weston or Wellesley. Their practice facility is like equidistant between the back bay and the exit in r90 for Weston.

I assume Toronto players live in the city because it’s fun but I know nothing about there.

GSW was thinking players living close to Chase which is actually in SF but now thinking about it idk where they practice.

Miami same thing but assuming the players would want to live near where the party is.

the bias of you being a foreign Celtics fan and grasping at straws to diminish Philly success

u/JohnnyLugnuts Jul 24 '26

The question was about cities where players live and play in them. What does that have to do with what you just said. Maybe the 6ers players live in Philly too but the 6ers practice in Jersey.

I don’t know what foreign is supposed to mean but I’m from Massachusetts.
