Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big story line. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
If you ever wanted to see Danny Ainge, Isaiah Thomas and Gerald Green appear in a rap video together, James the Mormon (fantastic name) recently turned your long-shot dream into reality with the BYU anthem “Tellin You Y.”
The trio of Boston Celtics figures have a brief cameo at the 0:27 mark of the video. Standing in the Celtics practice facility with a bundle of banners behind them, Ainge, Thomas and Green point at the camera and sing along with the song.
If you ever wanted to see Danny Ainge in a rap video, period, you need to rethink many, many, many of your life choices so far.
The above article is evidence that just when you think you’ve reached the bottom of the barrel, the off-season serves up yet another slow news day leaving you scratching your head and wondering, ‘who exactly thought this was a good idea?’
I mean, I’m sure there is a subset of BYU fans and students who are going to just eat this up, and frankly, who am I to begrudge anyone else’s apparently innocuous idea of a good time? However, yikes. Congrats to Danny for being willing to do something for the alma mater, but why didn’t they call up Jim McMahon instead?

*Blanchard Middle School, that is.
Kelly Olynyk, apparently not to be outdone by Isaiah Thomas in the “doing really nice things for kids” department, stopped by a middle school in Westford as part of a Celtics promotion. Feel like entering their next contest? Click here.

Check out the kid draining an NBA three-pointer (or just about) at the 1:00 mark.
No word yet if Marcus has since hired him as a personal shooting coach.

Fun fact*: the Russian Thistle, or tumbleweed, is not native to the American west. It is an invasive species.
*Your definition of ‘fun’ may vary.
