Former Boston Celtics draft pick Aaron Nesmith recently spoke about a Twitter post made by the popular sports news outlet Bleacher Report last summer, which suggested that the Indiana Pacers didn’t receive anything of value back in return for their trade for former 2023 Sixth Man of the Year Malcolm Brogdon to the Celtics in the 2022 NBA offseason, reflects a personal source of motivation following his standout 26-point performance against the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier this week.
The Vanderbilt alum admitted that “I do take things personally — I saved it to my favorites,” indicating that Nesmith used that negative assessment of himself as a player as a source of personal inspiration, potentially fueling his drive to prove his worth on the court with his new ball club.
CLNS Media reporter Bobby Manning discussed all the above after Nesmith’s return to Boston following the Celtics’ 155-104 blowout win against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.
