Griffin described playing in Boston as "one of the best experiences" while on the "Barstool Sports" podcast (hat credit to ClutchPoints). He also had a lot of nice things to say about his teammates. Griffin described the team's members as "just such a great group of guys." He is a true superstar, similar to Jayson Tatum. He talks to everyone on the squad and to the entire staff, and he is just very modest.
Griffin joined the Celtics soon before the regular season began last year and played in 41 games, averaging 4.1 points and 3.8 rebounds. There are unfilled roster seats for Boston, and a recent rumour indicated that Griffin would be interested in returning. However, the Celtics are considering their alternatives as they have arranged workouts with T.J. Warren, Lamar Stevens, and Louis King as well.
