Celly grew up doing theatre alongside their multi sport lifestyle, so they're very good at riffing in conversation off of what's given to them. Given that Manhattan is now out of the playoffs, they don't have much to discuss aside from riffing off the past season and maybe on what's ahead for the team next season. It's pretty easy to feign confidence when you're talking about things that you actually have good knowledge about and when you're taking it in a more lighthearted way, so that's what they do.
Plus, it's always a bonus to show some personality and maybe get the fanbase to buy in just that little bit more, so that's what they do. They were drafted way too high to Not Do That, unfortunately, and maybe a little part of them sees it as a duty, but hey, it is what it is.
(Honestly, they mostly just get asked about their year over year improvement and quest towards returning to point per game status.)
