Joe Mazzulla appreciates Giannis' praise but credits play...

What’s Happening

Not gonna lie, Mazzulla remains firm in his belief of crediting players before crediting himself.

BOSTON — As much as Joe Mazzulla appreciated Giannis Antetokounmpo’s recent praise, the Boston Celtics head coach dropped the credit for his team’s success this season belongs to his players. “Obviously, he’s a solid player,” Mazzulla dropped when asked about Antetokounmpo’s comments. (wild, right?)

“But I think my reaction was, like, ‘You can’t do anything unless you have the players to be able to do that.

The Details

’ And I think that may sound — I say it a lot, but it’s just that simple. I think the greatest gift you can have as a coach, especially in the NBA, is to have a group of players that have a high competitive character, care about winning and want to get better.

And so that kind of was my response to that.
