Celtics alumni, adjacent react to former Boston guard Jeff Teague, Bucks’ Finals win

While he couldn’t have known it would be with another team, it seems former Boston Celtics team president Danny Ainge managed to sign a player at the start of the 2021-22 NBA season who would earn himself a championship ring by the end of the season.

That would of course be veteran point guard Jeff Teague, who latched on with the newly-crowned league champion Milwaukee Bucks after being cut by the team he was dealt to by the Celtics at the trade deadline. Several current and former Celtics and Celtics-adjacent personalities took to the Twitterverse to congratulate the former Boston guard and his new team on their hard-fought win secured by a historic 50-point performance by league and finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Let’s look at some of their messages.
