Former Louisville guard Terry Rozier turned heads in Boston’s opening round matchup against Milwaukee in the NBA Playoffs both on and off the floor. After replacing injured All-Star guard Kyrie Irving as the team’s starting point guard, he has exceeded all expectations, specifically when matched up against former Kentucky guard Eric Bledsoe.
After Boston’s opening game victory, Rozier mistakenly called the Bucks guard “Drew Bledsoe,” the name of the former Patriots quarterback. When asked about the incident, Bledsoe said of Rozier, ‘I don’t even know who the (expletive) that is.”
Rozier followed it up by outdueling Bledsoe the rest of the way, scoring 16 or more points in five of seven matchups, including a 26-point performance in Game Seven to seal the series victory.
