Ed Sheeran reacts to the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals

The Boston Celtics are 2-0 in the NBA Finals series against the Dallas Mavericks. On his Teddy’s Vinyl Breakfast Instagram account, music superstar Ed Sheeran told Eric Jay Santos that he is rooting for the Celtics to win their 18th NBA championship.

“I bought an NBA season ticket to watch it! From that match on, I became a basketball fan overnight. Love it.”

Sheeran first showed support for the Celtics in May, sitting courtside at TD Garden during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. That day, in an interview with ESPN, Sheeran stated that he was a Boston fan.

“I don’t want to jump from too many teams to too many teams. I feel like I adopted the Celtics today. My dad is Irish, so I feel like we’re here.”

This weekend, the “Shape of You” singer will perform at the Rock in Rio music festival in Lisbon, Portugal. Meanwhile, Boston continues its campaign for Banner 18 on Wednesday, June 12 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
