Twitter Reacts to Richard Jefferson roasting Bill Simmons

You’re a good follow but that’s a bad take, don’t need to play to feel, as fans we live and breath it. @BillSimmons just happens to be a famous fan. Don’t disenchant yourself from the people that keep you earning RJ, now you’re retired we don’t need you, you need us

Hate this so much. Let people be fans. We love our teams and stick with them for lifetimes. He was a Celtics fan before you were born. Let him celebrate.

Do coaches count? Do fans genuinely not impact the game? There were only 7 guys that played more than 7 minutes on your finals team. Do they still count if they didn’t make an impact? Does it count if you shoot 17% from 3 in the finals and make 2 shots a game? Just curious..

Without fans, the team doesn't exist. Owners 100% want fans to feel an investment; if we didn't, teams wouldn't sell tickets or merchandise or tv rights; politicians wouldn't use tax dollars to buy owners stadiums. The league wouldn't exist without fans paying for it.
