The measure of a man is how he handles defeat. After a demoralizing blowout in Atlanta, the Celtics return home with Brad Stevens keeping the team focused on Game 6.
When Jackie MacMullan talks/writes/breaths about the Celtics, we should all pull up a chair and listen, especially if she's profiling Brad Stevens. In her latest feature for ESPN's TrueHoop, she details what makes the Celtics' head coach one of the NBA's superstars without ever scoring a point or blocking a shot. He's earned the respect of LeBron James, Gregg Popovich, and yes, even Rajon Rondo and more importantly, the trust from his current players.
