Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris seems to be fitting in just fine with the culture in Beantown.

During a recent game against the New York Knicks, there was a break in the action. Morris walked over and give a fist bump to the owner of the Celtics, but then noticed that he was wearing a championship ring.

Morris stayed an extra second to take a closer look at the owners ring. It was a small moment, but it speaks volumes to a player that was traded to a storied franchise like the Celtics.

The Celtics are first in the Eastern Conference and have the league's best defense. They have surprised everyone around the NBA after losing Gordon Hayward to a season-ending injury after landing him in free agency, much to everyone's surprise.

There is talk about the Celtics possibly making it to the NBA Finals this season, and for head coach Brad Stevens to win Coach of the Year.

So it's safe to say that the Celtics have legitimate championship aspirations. In that sense, Morris looking at that ring in a way solidifies the idea that the team he is currently on can do it, because they have done it before.

Also, the ring provides an effective motivation for young players like Morris. Think of how he felt when he saw that ring. He probably thought to himself that he really wants one for himself, and the team he is on can get there.

That must make him feel committed to the franchise, his teammates and the work it will take to eventually win a title.
