WASHINGTON D.C. - Culture is a word that gets thrown around a lot in the world of sports. Yes, it’s meaningful, but oftentimes it’s only seen at the surface. The Boston Celtics proudly rep their culture as a team and as an organization. From the coaches and players vocalizing it in press scrums, to teammates picking one another up on the floor, the 2018-19 Celtics have recently made it a point to play, as they call it, “Celtics basketball.”
The Washington Wizards, on the other hand, are currently struggling in the culture department. Earlier in the season, it was reported that the team went through a turbulent practice involving players voicing their issues, arguing with coaches, and even Bradley Beal yelling at long-time General Manger Ernie Grunfeld.
