Celtics players prank-sign rival NCAA jerseys

The Boston Celtics players were pranked by their social media team during the NCAA Tournament. The team decided to have some fun by slipping in jerseys from their players' college rivals for them to sign. As they signed jerseys, players like Jayson Tatum, who went to Duke, quickly recognized and rejected a North Carolina jersey. He joked that he liked the North Carolina team but had to support Duke during the tournament. Other players shared similar reactions. Jaylen Brown, a California alum, found a Stanford jersey and laughed as he tossed it aside. Derrick White, who played at Colorado, was suspicious from the start and mocked a Nebraska jersey before throwing it away. Jrue Holiday, an Arizona alum, found one of his old rivals' jerseys and expressed his displeasure by kicking it to the ground. Payton Pritchard, who went to Oregon, also wasn't a fan of the Oregon State jersey he received. Al Horford, a two-time NCAA champion from Florida, was disgusted by a Kentucky jersey and questioned whether he should even touch it. The playful interactions highlighted the strong rivalries that carry on even in the NBA.
