Celtics' Mazzulla Shows He's a Winner, On and Off the Court

Celtics Head coach Joe Mazzulla's passionate speech following the video release of Tyre Nichols being killed, revealed the strength of his faith and a man who is much more than just an NBA coach.

When it comes to NBA coaches, there’s a certain rinse-recycle-repeat dynamic to them that makes most of their moves and words and actions really predictable. 

So on those rare occasions when a coach’s thoughts are zag-zigging after being a serial zig-zagger, well, it throws you off at first. 

That was the reaction for many after Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla’s heartfelt message to the media following the killing of Tyre Nichols in Memphis. 

Mazzulla didn’t waste any time getting to what was clearly on his mind, delivering the kind of speech from the heart that he absolutely had to get off his chest.
