After a week of waiting, new teammates Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward finally had their introductory press conference early on Friday, followed by a photoshoot of the two donning the Boston Celtics green for the first time.

Even if Irving's NBA 2K18 cover was released on Thursday, nothing beats getting the real athlete into his new threads, now wearing his new No. 11.

Hayward was soon to follow with his iconic No. 20, striking a serious pose.

The new teammates even made a short video for Celtics faithful, expressing their excitement to be part of this year's journey and what's to come for the city of Boston in this 2017-18 season.

Even after facing the media during the introductory presser, Irving was excited to get the ball rolling, getting a few cracks at the mini-hoop conveniently located by the front office.
