Evan Turner's greatest quotes from 2015-16 Celtics' season
No Celtics player was as quotable this past year as Evan Turner, who was always good for a laugh or two in his postgame interviews. I'm sure I missed a few highlights along the way, but here are Turner's greatest hits from the 2015-16 season:
