Harlow proved that he was an ardent Celtics fan during a byte last year. He said, “Yeah, I grew up a Celtics fan… When I was young, when KG (Kevin Garnett) got traded, that’s when I made my decision, but I’ve been a Celtics fan my whole life.” However, the rapper’s visit to the Friday night game turned out to be memorable because of Tatum’s brilliance. Harlow grew from an unknown Celtics fan to a lucky charm for the side.
What’s on the cards for the Celtics?
The Boston Celtics are currently the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference behind the Milwaukee Bucks with a 54-24 record. The Boston side has already sealed their spot in the playoffs and will look to repeat their 2022 magic. Even though the team failed to cross the line in the Finals, they put up a strong fight against the Golden State Warriors. They have 4 games left in the regular season and the team would look to end the season on a strong note.
