Media Day looked a bit different for the Boston Celtics this year. Last year, the Celtics had to answer questions about a devastating loss to the Miami Heat in the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals. This year, they had to answer questions about defending their title. Last year, Celtics fans were reconciling Kristaps Porzingis wearing a Celtics uniform instead of Marcus Smart. This year, the Celtics bring back their entire championship core. Last year, there were questions about who would fill the emotional leadership role that Marcus Smart left behind. This year Celtics know who their emotional leader is: Jaylen Brown.
