This is our school community. These are our kids. I would be honored if you could come back and speak to them directly in that capacity.’” -via Celtics Blog / May 31, 2025

Stunned, the hundreds of high schoolers at the auditorium went berserk, screaming, jumping out of their seats, completely incapable of containing their excitement as a thrilling reality set in. One of their favorite athletes, one of their biggest role models, was at their school. “I saw a couple kids even cry,” Mason told CelticsBlog. -via Celtics Blog / May 31, 2025
