The Celtics made petty victory cigars for their championship parade with a tribute to their doubters

This is next-level petty.

The Boston Celtics had victory cigars made for their championship parade, and each one contained the words of those who doubted them.

Jayson Tatum did not forget his haters when he quoted Kanye West shortly after winning it all. Jaylen Brown didn’t forget the doubters when he wore a shirt aimed at Stephen A. Smith before Friday’s championship parade. Still, the Celtics’ pettiness has reached elite levels.

Per Daniel Donabedian of Clutch Points, a Boston rapper revealed that the Celtics had 18 victory cigars made — a nod to their 18 championships — and each one contained words of doubt that will quite literally be smoked away soon. Here’s what the message included with the cigars said:

“These are the same kinds of cigars Red used to smoke. Each one comes with the words of all of those who doubted a Celtics’ victory this year. We know how that ended. Congratulations on Banner No. 18.”

The Celtics sent out 18 special victory cigars, each with words from those who doubted the team.

Those will go up in smoke today
