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.

“That’s my goal: To be Defensive Player of the Year,” Bradley said Monday morning while unveiling a Celtics-themed basketball court for the Goentzel family of Belmont as part of a community initiative that will see Bradley unveil two more courts later this week. “I feel like [the award is] possible for me if I go out there with the right mindset.”

Bradley didn’t just earn a spot on the NBA’s All-Defensive first team last season, he was the top vote-getter among all guards and finished behind only San Antonio’s Kawhi Leonard and Golden State’s Draymond Green in All-Defensive voting totals.
