Boston has a ‘different atmosphere than I’m used to,’ says newest Celtic Blake Griffin

Newest Boston Celtic Blake Griffin got a chance to speak to the press for the first time as a member of his new team and wasted no time praising the internal culture of a team he once reportedly avoided due to bad reports about the same.

“The amount of maturity and welcoming,” related Griffin via the Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn, “it’s a different atmosphere than I’m used to, in a good way.” The former Brooklyn Nets big man also shared his thoughts on his first day working with the team to get acclimated to the Celtics’ style of play.
