April Fool’s Day in the United States is not celebrated until April 1, but Boston Celtics They had the ‘deference’ to adapt to the Spanish calendar for Hugo Gonzalez and play a good prank and hazing at the same time on the former Real Madrid player, although advancing such an important date a few days, several before the 28th.
On December 12, the Celtics published a photo of the forward with the popular board game Monopoly before getting on the plane to travel to Milwaukee. An image that hid a hilarious story behind it.
Hugo himself told it to Drafted last weekend:
“We had to go to the plane at 1:15 (in the afternoon) and it’s half an hour from the pavilion to the airport where we fly from. It’s 12:25 and Payton Pritchard He tells me “listen, Chris Boucher was missing to play cards” and I always carry cards, the rookie has to carry the cards,” the 19-year-old rookie began explaining, who was petrified by what the point guard told him next.
“We are not going to play cards, we want to play Catan or Monopoly“Go buy it,” Pritchard told a Hugo who began to feel overwhelmed.

“What a boarding! I have to take a shower running, at around 12:30 I leave the pavilion, and I hope that Boston doesn’t have many cameras around the pavilion area, I ran, I couldn’t be late either. I went to Target (a store), bought Monopoly or whatever, I ran there. Then the funny thing is that I go out with Monopoly and they were already playing Catan. I have Monopoly here in my house because they haven’t touched it,” explained Hugo, to whom Sergio Andrés, from Draftedconsoled him by saying that at least he already had it if Pritchard asked for it.
“You’ll have to let me know so I can take it with me because, as you understand, I’m not going to take Monopoly for 45 trips from home,” added the forward. 19 years old, who added another striking anecdote about what they make rookies do in Boston, who have to be the ones who bring the cards but with a strict condition.

“They have to be new letters, you remove the plastic and they are all ordered. When I found out in September or so I placed an order on Amazon for 80 barajas of cards,” Hugo also revealed. He has Boston and the Celtics in love with what he is doing on the court, but he is not safe from hazing.
