One Word from Deuce Tatum Helped Joe Mazzulla Find Perspective on Life & Basketball

This is where you learn about how Joe Mazzulla REALLY approaches life and basketball 🏀

In Part 1 of our two-part conversation with the Boston Celtics head coach, Mazzulla shares his approach to knowing his players on a deeply personal level, which has led to him traveling all over the world during the offseason to see them in their natural, home environments. The coach also shares a story about how Deuce Tatum said one word following a loss that snapped Mazzulla’s perspective on fatherhood and basketball into a clear image. The conversation then dives into Mazzulla’s outlook on the current team, why depth is so important in the NBA, and – randomly – how aggregators recently pulled a quote of his somewhat out of context.
