CLNS: <\/strong>Josue, what made you to want to pursue a career covering the Celtics?<\/p>\n

PAVON:\u00a0<\/strong>I think it was just my love for the game, honestly. After I earned my bachelor\u2019s degree in Communications\/sports journalism, it was a no-brainer for me. I started my own blog, Causewaystreet.com and it sort of just took off from there. I had so much to say and love analyzing the game. I was able to eventually get my writing samples to Rob Bradford, editor of WEEI.com, who eventually offered me a position as his Celtics writer and that\u2019s when I joined the beat.<\/p>\n

CLNS: <\/strong>Do you have any specific childhood memories that you revere as it pertains to the Celtics?<\/p>\n

PAVON:\u00a0<\/strong>Absolutely, a ton. I\u2019d probably say my favorite ones were just watching the games with my dad and my older brother. We would watch them all the time growing up, seeing Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen come together and capture an NBA title is probably my favorite. Just the run they had and the way they were able to put it all together in their first year together was fun to watch. It was like tuning into a tv show that was so entertaining and fun to watch, seeing them compete and play at such a high level. Especially after watching Pierce come such a long way through so many trying years, that was probably my favorite Celtics memory. The underdog finally worked his way to the top, that story never gets old to me. Sports is special in that way, it tells countless stories.<\/p>\n

CLNS:\u00a0<\/strong>What led you to being apart of CLNS Media?<\/p>\n

PAVON:\u00a0<\/strong>So during my first year on the Celtics beat, I was invited as a guest to film The Garden Report and it sort of just took off from there. Tommy White eventually reached out to\"\"<\/a> me about a fill-in role, which at the time I was excited about because I never did much on-camera work so it was new to me and I was starting to like it. Then, when CLNS picked up my podcast, Causeway Street Podcast, I was able to build a strong relationship with Nick Gelso and the rest of guys. I\u2019m thankful for the opportunity they\u2019ve given me. In this industry, that\u2019s all you can really ask for at the end of the day. You make the most of what you earn and you never take these opportunities for granted.<\/p>\n

CLNS:\u00a0<\/strong>Are there any individuals you look up to, model yourself after, and\/or have influence on your life outlook and career?<\/p>\n

PAVON:\u00a0<\/strong>Not really, honestly, I always try to be unique and true to myself and who I am as a writer\/broadcaster and personality. Growing up, Michael Holley was definitely my favorite. Such a talented writer\/broadcaster. Man, I used to be late to class or sometimes skip back in high school just because he had a hot take or was going on and on about a specific topic, back when he had his midday show on EEI. But in terms of modeling myself after a person, that\u2019s not something I ever tried to do when I was in college or after I graduated and got my first gigs. I think finding my own voice, approach and style is so important. It\u2019s something that\u2019s constantly evolving and that\u2019s who I model myself after and constantly try to improve whether it\u2019s in my writing, on camera or behind the mic.<\/p>\n
