Count Bill Simmons among the Boston Celtics fans who were stunned by how the little the team got when they traded Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers. But what Simmons was going through at the moment the transaction went down made for a one-of-a-kind reaction.
Simmons, a longtime Boston sports supporter, gave his first thoughts on the move during a live recording of “The Bill Simmons Podcast” on Thursday, July 2, and revealed that he found out Brown had been traded from his wife after finishing a colonoscopy at a medical facility around 3:20 p.m. PT. She then told Simmons the details, which featured the Celtics receiving Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks from the Sixers.

“I’m not really coherent … and I’m like, I think I’m dead. I think I died,” Simmons said on the broadcast. “The anesthesia killed me and now I’m a dead person.”
