When Coach Joe Mazzulla Revealed If Prince William And Kate Middleton Would Attend Celtics NBA Game
Last season, coach Joe Mazzulla revealed whether the royalty would be present at the Celtics NBA game but with a touch of humor. As he continues to bring faith into the mix, Here’s what he said!
Last November, when Joe Mazzulla and the Boston Celtics beat the Miami Heat 134-121 for their 18th win of the season, the Prince and Princess of Wales from the British Royal Family made a sudden appearance at the game.
When asked what his thoughts were on the royal family's sudden arrival and whether he was aware of their sudden visit, the Celtics' coach quipped with another, more witty and powerful retort, "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph? I’m only familiar with one royal family. I don’t know too much about them. But hopefully, they’re Celtics fans."
Joe Mazzulla keeps tackling problematic questions with his faith in Christianity
Faith is the answer for Joe Mazulla, even for the most testing times and well, people. That was clearly not the last time Joe Mazulla had to defy the expectations of reporters by bringing faith into the mix.
Coach Mazzulla didn't go for an easy answer when asked about being a Black head coach in the NBA Finals. He shifted the discussion from race to faith instead.
At a Saturday press conference, Mazzulla was questioned about the significance of having two Black head coaches in the basketball finals for the first time since 1975. The Dallas Mavericks coach, Jason Kidd, is also Black.
"Given the plight sometimes of Black head coaches in the NBA, do you think this is a significant moment? Do you take pride in this? How do you view this, or do you not see it at all?" asked Vincent Goodwill, a senior reporter at Yahoo Sports.
As a devout Catholic, Mazzulla replied, “I wonder how many of those have been Christian coaches.”
Coach Joe Mazzulla praises Jayson Tatum, team after Game 2 win
The recent time has been truly straining for Joe Mazzulla. There has been a lot of talk about who the best player is on the Boston Celtics team. Tired of this debate, Coach Joe Mazzulla praised his entire team after their Game 2 victory. With special regards and compliments reserved for Jayson Tatum.
In the same post-game press conference, Mazzulla said, “Jayson makes greatness look easy. He does it many different ways: he does it on defense, he does it in rebounding, he does it in passing, and he does it on screens. He’s a tremendous player; he has the ability to affect the game in different ways.”
