"When you are heckling a world champion NBA coach, you are not really thinking," O'Brien said. "Immediately just flipped a switch and I just started going on, 'do you know what we do in these duck boats?'"
"It was a lot of fun and it was just one of those, I can't believe this is happening type things," he added.
And O'Brien says Kerr dished it back.
"He said something about how we haven't done anything since the 80s, which is statistically incorrect because we have done everything in duck boats including the Celtics win in 2008," O'Brien said.
Of course, duck boats are the ride of champions here in Boston, including back in '08 -- the last time the Celtics won it all.
O'Brien is ready for history to repeat itself and for the Celtics to get banner No. 18.
"Let's cue the duck boats!!" he said. "There is no jinxing, the Celtics are going to win, there is no other reason why, we are doing a parade and I hope to be in that parade in some capacity."
