Celtics broadcaster Mike Gorman talks Pritchard, Nesmith as bright spots in a tough season

Mike Gorman shared some positivity on the team’s two rookies while helping @Riffs_Man raise money for Marcus Smart’s @YGC_Foundation

In the midst of an especially tough — perhaps the toughest — season for the Boston Celtics, a handful of fans of the team with ties to Boston media decided to inject some positivity back into the fanbase with their own telethon-style event to raise money for Celtic veteran guard Marcus Smart’s YounGame Changer Foundation.

Having raised over $39,000 in just a few days with time left on the clock to donate for those so inclined, the event sparked by a conversation between The Riffs Man — perhaps best known as the man who dubbed Robert Williams III “Timelord” — and “Winning Plays” podcast host Rich Levine has been a resounding success.

The event itself featured a number of Celtics-related guests including longtime broadcaster Mike Gorman, who shared his thoughts on a number of issues including the two new rookies on the team.
