New Boston Celtics big man Blake Griffin raved about the overall maturity of the Celtics upon signing with them officially this past Monday, as well as meeting new teammates such as star wing Jaylen Brown this week.

The veteran frontcourt player said he wasn’t used to the kind of environment he encountered in Boston upon his arrival. The comment was, perhaps, a subtle reference to his recent experience with the supremely dysfunctional Brooklyn Nets. Longtime Celtics nemesis Goran Dragic didn’t have rave reviews about that team after also leaving it this offseason.

Join CLNS Media reporter Bobby Manning as he breaks down Griffin’s arrival in Boston in the clip embedded below while we wait to see the six-time All-Star playing ball in green and white for the first time of his career in the Celtics’ exhibition game against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.
