You can take the competitor out of the game, but you can’t take the competitiveness out of them, which the Boston Celtics have been demonstrating in their downtime at the Disney restart ‘bubble’.
Passing their time off at the Wide World of Sports complex may have a limited range of options, but the Celtics seem able to find ways to compete against each other no matter the backdrop, and such was the scene at a local pool on the Disney NBA campus.
In the second such aquatic race between two Celtics, German big man Daniel Theis utterly waxed Georgian shooting guard Jaylen Brown as the former put on his best Michael Phelps impersonation for the friendly contest.
In the background, you can hear teammate Marcus Smart shout, “He could have beat you running!”
Watch the clip embedded above that was posted by Boston.com to Twitter Tuesday for yourself.
And never challenge Theis to a water-based race, evidently.
