Joe Mazzulla is a NBA Championship coach, that is a fact. Joe Mazzulla is also a crazy person, both can be true.
On the Locked On Celtics podcast, Mazzulla was asked a variant of the “how do you defend your title?” question that every single championship coach has been asked in the history of sports. But our boy is not one for coach speak, no no no. Joey Mazz decided to give us this gem:
This man is a national treasure. He’s so weird you can’t be mad at him.
He works hard, he does not hardly work. He takes lemonade and makes lemons. He makes chicken shit out of chicken salad.
The only ice cream Joe Mazzulla will eat is Rocky Road because he’s so god damn gritty. When the countertops at his house get dusty, don’t you dare offer a rag and a bottle of Pledge. Coach will take a swig of lukewarm water and spit shine those bad boys. Money’s always a concern these days…that’s why Mazzulla still balances his checkbook.
As long as this man is leading the Boston Celtics, I don’t see any reason they can’t repeat as champions. I only say “as long as,” because there’s a non zero chance that if Mazzulla discovers something he finds more difficult than repeating as NBA champions, he might just quit and go do that.
