Celtics’ Terry Rozier Ready To Take Rookie Year By Storm

Shaker Heights’ own Terry Rozier is determined to make a name for himself in his rookie season with the Celtics.

Celtics guard Terry Rozier has spent the summer preparing for the rigors of his rookie season. But none of the training was related to piloting a canoe in Boston Harbor.

On Thursday afternoon, Rozier took a 30-minute ferry ride to Camp Harbor View, a program for at-risk youth held at Long Island. And when three children and an instructor invited Rozier onto their canoe for a quick ride, he accepted despite his reluctance.

As he removed his dark sandals and socks, someone asked if he was a little nervous.

“A lot nervous,” Rozier said, smiling.

Before long, though, he was about 100 yards offshore, pleased he had gotten his feet wet by, well, getting his feet wet. Although his visit was brief, his presence piqued the interest of some campers.

Several boys told him they could beat him in a game of one-on-one. Another asked him to settle an argument about who was the better Golden State Warrior, guard Stephen Curry — the NBA MVP — or forward Andre Iguodala, the Finals MVP.

“That’s not even close,” Rozier said, presumably giving the nod to Curry.

A few feet away, a group of girls asked to take a picture with Rozier.

“He’s so cute,” one told her friend.

Rozier took the picture, and before long, he was back on the big boat and headed to the airport.
