Celtics Big Man Tyler Zeller Was the Bill Russell of Nerf Basketball

Posted Apr 8, 2015
Celtics big man Tyler Zeller has blocked 50 shots this season, but if his younger brother Cody is to be believed, that’s a disappointingly low total for the greatest rim protector in Nerf basketball history. “As kids, Tyler used to stand in front of the Nerf hoop and block every single one of my shots,” Cody Zeller said in an editorial for The Player’s Tribune . “I remember crying because Tyler was relentless with the blocks.” (Boston.com)
