Joe Mazzulla has only been head coach of the Boston Celtics for two seasons.
But the hyper-focused and often blunt basketball coach has already delivered decades worth of headline-stealing quotes and viral musings while fielding questions from the media.
The 2024 NBA champion already set the tone for the upcoming 2024-25 season on Monday, stressing that Boston isn’t focused on pressure amid their title defense because, as the 36-year-old coach put it, “we’re all going to be dead soon.”
Add in his obsession with the Ben-Affleck-directed flick “The Town,” relishing in the pain of tearing his meniscus, and harping on killer whales, and Mazzulla’s pressers and interviews have now become appointment viewing in the NBA.
