<p>The <strong>Dallas Mavericks </strong>had an impressive run last season, with <strong>Luka Doncic</strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyrie-irving">Kyrie Irving</a></strong> leading the team to their first NBA Finals appearance since 2011, when they won the championship against the Miami Heat. However, despite the team’s success, Irving was candid about his personal struggles in the Finals.</p>



<p>During a recent <em>Twitch stream</em>, the former Brooklyn Nets guard discussed the Mavericks’ Finals loss to the <strong>Celtics </strong>and his own performance. <strong><em>“Last year was definitely disappointing from the standpoint of not winning the Finals as a team and coming up short,”</em></strong> Irving admitted. “<strong><em>We got there for a reason. Blood is definitely in the water.”</em></strong></p>



<p>Irving also acknowledged that his play in the latter part of the season wasn’t up to his usual standards. <strong><em>“I’m always going to take accountability, and it starts with me,”</em></strong> Irving said during the stream.<em><strong> “I didn’t play my best at all down the stretch, and it’s been eating me alive in a healthy way. I’ve been staying motivated. We’re gonna be back. Just gonna have fun and take it day by day. But losing f— sucks, though.”</strong></em></p>



<p>The dynamic duo of Doncic and Irving struggled to maintain the high level of play that carried them through the earlier rounds of the playoffs. But with the offseason addition of <strong>Klay Thompson</strong>, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-mavericks">Mavericks</a> are setting their sights on another Finals appearance next season.</p>

<h2>Mark Cuban reveals how Doncic, Irving led Mavs to the Finals</h2>



<p><strong>Mavericks owner Mark Cuban </strong>shared insights on how the pairing of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luka-doncic">Luka Doncic</a> and Kyrie Irving led Dallas to the Finals during an appearance on <em>The Roommates Show</em>. According to Cuban, building chemistry in the offseason was key to their success.</p>



<p><strong><em>“It was like, okay, let’s just take the summer and figure things out,”</em></strong> Cuban said. <em><strong>“Going into training camp, they learned how to play together. [Head coach Jason Kidd] is great at managing guys with that level of talent, and we were able to put it together.</strong></em>”</p>

<p>For years now, the debate over who is the best player in <strong>NBA</strong> history has been narrowed down to two names: <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan">Michael Jordan</a> </strong>and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron--james">LeBron James</a></strong>. The discussion becomes even more intriguing because LeBron has played in two different eras, allowing many youngsters to grow up watching James instead of Jordan.</p>



<p>One of these youngsters is <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a></strong> star <strong>Derrick White</strong>, who seems to have made his choice between LeBron James and Michael Jordan as his personal <strong>GOAT</strong>.</p>



<p>While statistics can never definitively settle the GOAT debate, they can provide context for White’s selection. In terms of longevity, James has a clear advantage over Jordan. Drafted No. 1 overall in 2003, he was one of the youngest players in the league at the time.</p>



<p>In a video posted on social media, White is seen on a golf course being asked if LeBron is his GOAT, to which he responds with a series of nods, prompting the videographer to comment, <strong><em>“LeGOAT, my king.”</em></strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/27194335/LeBron-James-Michael-Jordan-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-226640" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Michael Jordan and LeBron James hug after the presentation of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team during the 2022 NBA All-Star Game at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on February 20, 2022 in Cleveland, Ohio.

<h2>Why could LeBron James be considered the GOAT?</h2>



<p>Twenty years later, LeBron is still playing for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/angeles-lakers"><strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong></a><strong> </strong>and is currently the oldest player in the NBA at age 39, being the only active player born before 1985. During his 21 seasons, LeBron has become the top scorer in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba">NBA </a>history, surpassing <strong>Kareem Abdul-Jabbar</strong>‘s record. In addition, in 2016, he led the Cleveland Cavaliers to a historic comeback in the NBA Finals, becoming the only team to win after being down 3-1.</p>

<h2>What advantages does Michael Jordan have over LeBron James?</h2>



<p>Many fans consider Michael Jordan to have an edge over LeBron James because of his six championship rings. While James has a 4-6 record in the Finals, Jordan won all six titles without needing a Game 7. Additionally, Jordan achieved two three-peats, dominating the 1990s and significantly contributing to the global growth of basketball.</p>

NBA News: Celtics star picks GOAT between LeBron James and Michael Jordan - Bolavip US

<p>After seeing <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a></strong> help the <strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong> win their 17th <strong>NBA</strong> championship in 2020, the <strong>Boston Celtics</strong>‘ trust in <strong>Jayson Tatum</strong> and <strong>Jaylen Brown</strong> finally paid off last season with the achievement of a long-awaited 18th banner.</p>



<p>But far from being satisfied with leaving the Lakers second in the list of winningest teams in NBA history, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Celtics</a> <strong>want to build on last season’s success</strong> to hang even more banners up on the rafters.</p>



<p>That’s why the front office is making sure to <strong>keep a competitive team</strong> around its cornerstones, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayson-tatum">Tatum</a> and Brown. Curiously, Boston is adding a former teammate of LeBron on the Lakers for the 2024-25 season.</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba">NBA</a> insider Adrian Wojnarowski of <em>ESPN</em>, the Celtics have reached an agreement with <strong>Lonnie Walker IV</strong> on a one-year deal. The 25-year-old was a free agent after spending last year with the Brooklyn Nets.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/27194351/LeBron-James-6-of-the-Los-Angeles-Lakers-congratulates-Lonnie-Walker-IV-4-during-Game-4-of-the-Weste-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="LeBron James 6 of the Los Angeles Lakers congratulates Lonnie Walker IV 4 during Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Golden State Warriors on Monday May 8, 2023 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California." class="wp-image-226509" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>LeBron James 6 of the Los Angeles Lakers congratulates Lonnie Walker IV 4 during Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Golden State Warriors on Monday May 8, 2023 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Lonnie Walker IV’s NBA journey: From playing with LeBron to joining Tatum, Brown on the reigning champs</h2>



<p>Selected out of Miami by the Spurs with the 18th overall pick in the first round of the 2018 NBA Draft, Walker spent the first four seasons of his career in San Antonio <strong>before landing in LA</strong>.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-the-only-stars-besides-lebron-james-stephen-curry-with-100-hall-of-fame-probability" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20240828_BUS_226045_LeBron-James-6-of-the-Los-Angeles-Lakers-stands-next-to-Stephen-Curry-30-of-the-Golden-State-Warri.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="LeBron James and Stephen Curry may not be the only active NBA players guaranteed a Hall of Fame spot.

<p>The Pennsylvania native joined the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Lakers</a> on a one-year deal <strong>in July 2022</strong>, making 32 starts alongside LeBron James and company before a knee injury kept him on the sidelines for 14 games.</p>



<p>By the time he was healthy again, Walker struggled to recover a prominent role as the Lakers’ rotation had improved with Austin Reaves turning up his game and the trade deadline moves paying off for the purple and gold. Still, Walker still got <strong>significant minutes of action in the playoffs</strong>, helping the Lakers reach the 2023 Western Conference Finals.</p>



<h2>Walker aiming to prove doubters wrong with the Celtics</h2>



<p>Walker packed his bags after only one season with the Lakers, joining the Nets on a one-year, $2 million contract in the 2023 offseason. However, <strong>things didn’t go to plan</strong> and he once again hit free agency in 2024.</p>



<p>“<em><strong>I ain’t even reach my prime yet, yall gonna see soon. The apology better be just as loud as the disrespect</strong></em>,” Walker wrote on social media back in June as he entered the open market. </p>



<p>Now, Walker gets to join <strong>none other than the defending champions</strong>. Apart from joining forces with Tatum and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jaylen-brown">Brown</a>, the 25-year-old will get to reunite with former Spurs teammate Derrick White, a key contributor to the Celtics’ championship last season.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Boston Celtics</a></strong> are one of the <strong>NBA’s most storied franchises</strong>. Currently, the team is experiencing a period of success, which has drawn the attention of a <strong>billionaire entrepreneur interested in purchasing</strong> the club.</p>



<p>Just two months ago, the Celtics secured their <strong>18th <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> title</strong>, setting a new record for the league. The victory brought <strong>immense joy </strong>to the team and its fans, but that celebration was soon <strong>overshadowed by surprising news</strong>.</p>



<p>The ownership group that controls the Boston Celtics announced that the <strong>team is up for sale</strong>. They are currently entertaining <strong>offers</strong>, and it appears that a serious bid could be coming very soon.</p>



<h2>Report: American business magnate is set to make an offer for the Boston Celtics</h2>



<p>In recent years, the Celtics have assembled a highly competitive team. The front office’s efforts paid off this year, as the <strong>club finally secured another Larry O’Brien trophy</strong>, ending a <strong>16-year championship drought</strong>.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-golden-state-warriors-owner-joe-lacob-clarifies-position-on-boston-celtics-acquisition" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20240720_BUS_147897_Joe-Lacob.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob spoke about rumors to buy hometown team the Boston Celtics.

<p>However, everything comes at a cost. Building this competitive roster was expensive, and it seems the <strong>team’s owners are not comfortable maintaining these expenses</strong> in the future.</p>



<p>Just <strong>two weeks after winning their 18th title</strong>, Irving Grousbeck, his son Wyc Grousbeck, and the other <strong>owners </strong>decided to <strong>put the Celtics up for sale</strong>, considering offers to acquire the franchise.</p>



<p>In <strong>2002</strong>, this consortium <strong>bought </strong>the team for <strong>$360 million</strong>. Now, Sportico values the franchise at <strong>$5.12 billion</strong>, a price only a few individuals could afford for a sports team.</p>

<p>According to Bill Simmons, <strong>American entrepreneur Jeff Bezos</strong> is expected to make an <strong>offer </strong>to buy the Boston Celtics. With a <strong>net worth of $195.7 billion</strong>, per Forbes, the <strong>Amazon founder</strong> is more than capable of purchasing the team.</p>



<p>This is not the first time Jeff Bezos has been linked to buying a sports team. Most recently, there were rumors that he was interested in <strong>purchasing the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Commanders</a></strong> of the NFL, but he did not pursue the opportunity further.</p>



<h2>Why are the Celtics up for sale?</h2>



<p>The Grousbeck family has significantly increased their net worth since acquiring the Celtics. They purchased the franchise for $360 million, and it is now valued at $5.12 billion, making it the <strong>fourth-most valuable NBA franchise</strong>.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> </strong>owner<strong> Joe Lacob </strong>spoke about his interest in buying his<strong> </strong>hometown team, the<strong> Boston Celtics, </strong>which are currently up for sale<strong>. Lacob, </strong>was a minority owner of the Celtics<strong> </strong>from 2006 to 2010.</p>



<p><strong>The group that owns the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a>, announced its intention to sell all of the team’s stock. </strong>The ownership group, after considerable internal discussion, has decided to sell the equipment due to equity and family planning reasons.</p>



<p>In recent years, the values of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/nba">NBA</a></strong> franchises have skyrocketed. According to Forbes, in October 2023 the <strong>Celtics were valued at $4.8 billion.</strong> When Grousbeck and his group bought the team in 2002, they did so for $360 million.</p>



<h2>What did Joe Lacob say about buying the Boston Celtics?</h2>



<p><strong>“No chance,”</strong> Lacob told David Aldridge and Marcus Thompson on&nbsp;<em>“The Athletic NBA Show”.</em> Lacob said in a recent interview. ” No chance, sorry. That ship sailed a long time ago — a long, long time ago. I’m a Warrior, this is my identity, it’s our identity. I love what we’ve done. I love our fans, our arena (and) the last decade, and I just wanna do more. I just wanna create an even longer and even greater legacy for this organization.</p>

<p>Under his leadership, the<strong> Warriors have become one of the NBA’s most dominant dynasties, winning four championships in the past eight years.</strong> Lacob has invested a lot of time and money in building a world-class organization in Golden State, and he’s not willing to risk everything to return to his hometown.</p>



<h2>The Celtics are in a difficult situation</h2>



<p><strong>The team has a very high payroll</strong> and faces a significant luxury tax bill for years to come. This makes the property a less attractive prospect for prospective buyers. However, it remains to be seen if there will be anyone willing to take on the financial risks associated with Celtics ownership.</p>

<p><strong>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a> are still in their quest to repeat as NBA champions </strong>and have taken a step in that direction<strong> by signing the son of a legend who played and won NBA championships with Michel Jordan</strong></p>



<p>According to Jared Weiss<strong> of <em>The Athletic</em>, <strong>Celtics have signed Ron Harper’s son</strong>: </strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ron-harper-jr"><strong>Ron Harper Jr</strong></a><strong>. </strong>who will receive a minimum veteran’s contract of one year.</p>



<p>The addition of Harper Jr. has special significance, as <strong>he is the son of five-time NBA champion Ron Harper</strong>.

<p><strong>However, Harper Jr. seems to have overcome the injury and will now have the opportunity to prove himself with the Celtics.</strong> The team, the reigning <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> champion, is in a transition period following the departure of some key players.

<p>For years, the <strong>NBA</strong> was dominated by <strong>LeBron James</strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a></strong>. But a new generation of stars is now looking to take over, and Boston Celtics superstar <strong>Jayson Tatum</strong> is one of them.</p>



<p>The <strong>26-year-old</strong> finally got over the hump with memorable performances in the 2023-24 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> season, helping the franchise win a historic 18th championship to claim the <strong>first ring in his career</strong>.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayson-tatum">Tatum</a> now joins special territory of stars who know what is like to reach the promised land, and while matching the number of titles won by LeBron or Curry might be a challenging task, the truth is <strong>both James and Steph also had to wait to win their first championships.</strong></p>



<h2>LeBron James’ NBA championships at Jayson Tatum’s age</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a> may have three more titles than Tatum, but <strong>it took <em>The King</em> longer</strong> to win his first ring.

<p>LeBron almost won his first ring in his first year in South Beach at 26, <strong>but lost to Dirk Nowitzki’s Dallas Mavericks in the 2011 NBA Finals</strong>. <strong>Only a year later</strong>, the Heat <strong>redeemed themselves</strong> by beating the Oklahoma City Thunder in five games.

Pep Guardiola was inspiration for Boston Celtics NBA title

Pep Guardiola key in Boston Celtics NBA championship

<p>The 2024 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba">NBA</a></strong> finals are very close to being defined. Soon one of the two franchises that reached this definition will receive the traditional ring that rewards the champions. How much does this <strong>NBA Championship</strong> ring cost? Here you we will tell you.</p>



<p>Although basketball is a sport where nothing can be taken for granted, the statistics largely favor one team: the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a></strong>, who have already taken a 3-0 lead in the Finals and are threatening to sweep the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-mavericks">Dallas Mavericks</a></strong>.</p>



<p>No team in history has ever reversed a 3-0 deficit in any playoff series, and only once has a 1-3 deficit been reversed in the Finals (the <strong>Cleveland Cavaliers</strong> against the <strong>Golden State Warriors</strong> in 2016). This is why many are starting to foresee a new title for the <strong>Celtics</strong>, which will, of course, come with the traditional championship ring.</p>



<h2>The value of the championship ring</h2>



<p>There is no precise answer to this question, but we can estimate a close value. Depending on the season, the winning team, and the design, these coveted rings can cost between <strong>$10,000 and $40,000.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/28072426/Denver-Nuggets-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-132974" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Denver Nuggets, 2023 NBA Champions – IMAGO / Icon Sportswire</figcaption></figure>



<p>However, this is just the average. Some rings, adorned with the finest materials and intricate designs, <strong>can exceed $100,000</strong>. And this could be the case with this <strong>2023/2024 season’s championship ring</strong>.</p>

How much does a 2024 NBA Championship ring cost?

NBA ring 2024 Value: How much does an NBA Championship ring cost? - Bolavip US

<p><strong>Luka Doncic</strong> and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-mavericks">Dallas Mavericks</a></strong> are on the ropes after losing 106-99 in Game 3 of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">2024 NBA Finals</a></strong> against the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a></strong>. Once again, Jaylen Brown, <strong>Jayson Tatum</strong>, Jrue Holiday and Derrick White looked dominant proving experts wrong as underdogs for this matchup on the road.</p>



<p>Last night, Doncic lost control for most of the game and, with 4:12 remaining in the fourth quarter, the star fouled out. Although <strong>Kyrie Irving</strong> tried to keep the Mavs alive, the absence of his teammate was significant.</p>



<p>Therefore, during the press conference at the end of the game, the inevitable question for <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luka-doncic">Luka Doncic</a></strong> was what he thought about the referees’ calls which took him out of action in the final stretch.</p>



<p><em>“I mean, I don’t know. We couldn’t play physical. I don’t know. I don’t want to say nothing. You know, six fouls in the NBA Finals, basically I’m like this (makes helpless gesture with hands). Come on, man. Be better than that.”</em></p>

<h2>Has any NBA team won from 3-0 down?</h2>



<p>No. Teams that have trailed 0-3 in NBA playoffs history have a record of 0-156. If the Mavericks manage to win four consecutive games, it would be the greatest feat in basketball history.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyrie-irving">Kyrie Irving</a></strong> was the center of attention for <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a></strong> fans at The Garden in Game 1 of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">2024 NBA Finals</a></strong>. For the past three years, the criticism and boos for the veteran have increased since he decided to step on the half-court logo in the 2021 playoffs.</p>



<p>Now, in the start of long awaited series, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-mavericks">Dallas Mavericks</a></strong> were crushed 107-89 in a shocking turn of events after the Mavs eliminated big contenders such as the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Minnesota Timberwolves.</p>



<p>Although <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luka-doncic">Luka Doncic</a></strong> put 30 points, Irving had one of his worst performances in the postseason: 12 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds in 36 minutes. Game 2 will be played next Sunday night. </p>



<p><em>“There were a lot of emotions going into Game 1. Just waiting for the opportunity to go out there and compete. We just have to get this out of the way. We didn’t perform they way we would have wanted. It starts with me. I’ve got to take some accountability for it. They came out and hit us in the mouth early. We’re going to take our lessons and get ready for a good Game 2”</em></p>

NBA Finals 2024: Kyrie Irving mocks Boston Celtics fans

<p>The <strong>2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba-finals">NBA Finals</a></strong> are finally here, and everyone in America is well aware. In fact, with the NFL still in the offseason, even <strong>Tom Brady</strong> and <strong>Patrick Mahomes</strong> got involved in the series between the <strong>Boston Celtics</strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-mavericks">Dallas Mavericks</a></strong>.</p>



<p>The legendary quarterbacks <strong>took sides</strong>, with the seven-time Super Bowl champion looking at the camera in the hype video for Joe Mazzulla’s team, while the Kansas City Chiefs superstar hyped Jason Kidd’s men.</p>



<p>Brady’s appearance in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Celtics</a>‘ piece of content makes sense considering his <strong>history with the New England Patriots</strong>, with whom he spent 20 of his 23 seasons in the National Football League.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a>, on the other hand, is a <strong>lifelong Mavs fan</strong> as he was born in Tyler, Texas, just a few miles away from Dallas. His career led him to Kansas City, but the Texas Tech product doesn’t forget about his roots.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083355/Celtics-vs-Mavs-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Luka Doncic #77 of the Dallas Mavericks drives to the basket against Grant Williams #12 of the Boston Celtics" class="wp-image-99433" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Luka Doncic #77 of the Dallas Mavericks drives to the basket against Grant Williams #12 of the Boston Celtics.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>What Brady and Mahomes said ahead of the 2024 NBA Finals</h2>



<p>The Celtics have experienced the criticism and hatred from other fanbases throughout the season, with fans even chanting “We want Boston” as they wanted to see Jayson Tatum and company fall.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Be careful what you wish for. <a href="https://t.co/q7bvdKgl1U">pic.twitter.com/q7bvdKgl1U</a></p>— Boston Celtics (@celtics) <a href="https://twitter.com/celtics/status/1798509759693283714?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 6, 2024</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Brady</a>, who used to be an unpopular star for opposing fans while in New England, understands what the Celtics have experienced this season. Which is why he emphasized on this situation in his hype video. <em><strong>“Really? You want Boston? Take it from me, that’s a bad idea,”</strong></em> Brady said.</p>



<p>Mahomes, on the other hand, stressed how the Mavs defied the odds this year, <strong>encouraging Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and company to get he job done</strong>.</p>



<p>“<em><strong>If you don’t believe in winning this title, you shouldn’t be here</strong></em>,” Mahomes said. “<em>You know what it costs to get this far. Every moment of your life has led you to this. And if you want to hold that trophy, it will cost a lot more. Nobody expected the Mavs. Nobody wanted the Mavs. But nobody can deny it that you’ve earned it.”</em></p>

<h2>Brady and Mahomes’ history with championships </h2>



<p>Both Brady and Mahomes <strong>know a thing or two about winning championships</strong>. While the former holds the record for the most Super Bowl victories with seven, the latter is looking to chase that feat <strong>with three titles at just 28</strong>.</p>



<p>The Chiefs star is even looking for an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/super-bowl-tom-brady-addresses-patrick-mahomes-chiefs-chances-of-three-peat">unprecedented three-peat in the NFL</a> after leading Kansas City to the top in the last two seasons. However, Brady did set the <strong>head-to-head playoff record against Mahomes in his favor</strong> before calling it a career.</p>



<p>Brady first gained the upper hand in the <strong>2019 AFC Championship Game</strong> with the Patriots, eventually beating Mahomes’ Chiefs for his seventh and last Super Bowl ring in <strong>2021</strong>, this time in a Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniform.</p>
