Which Premier League team is the equivalent of @Celtics in terms of heritage, relevance and ethos?
Great coach and, most importantly, great human being #joemazzulla
Holy shit! I’m a Die hard Celtics fan and an Arsenal fan this is dope
True story, years ago, I get a call from a good friend, he says, 'D, you have some time on your hands?'. So I say (cause he's a good friend), sure, what's up? So my buddy says, 'my former high school men's soccer team needs a coach, no one volunteered.' So I agree, and the next day or so, I walk over to the high school, and sure enough, there's about 17 or 18 guys screwing around with a ball. Just the school librarian sitting off some where. So I just walk onto the pitch and say, you, you stand over there next to the post, and you, you go take some corners. And you, you're standing next to the goaltender.' And they're like, whaa? who is this guy. No intro, no speech, just, let's go. Didn't even tell them my name at first. But we went far into the playoffs, and at the end of the year, one of the players said, 'you know D, when you showed up, we were all pissed off, but you really made playing fun, and we really enjoyed it.' So there you have it, and I come from a very interesting lineage of soccer history, but that's all I'll say about that 🙂
Kevin DeBron … nice mispronunciation there
Amazing to have this coach talk about a completely different sport 👏
So he’s not a robot.
Look, I am not saying it gets called (my home nation famously scored the 1-0 vs Brazil off a screen) but generally they are not allowed because it turns into blocking without the ball.
Screw the Celtics Screw man city. Cmon Lakers Cmon Manchester United! lol
Oh man, as a City and a Celtics fan, what a delight that Joe and Pep have this friendship lfg
notice he doesnt call it soccer 🙏🏿
I love the part when he was talking about how he deal with pressure👏🏾 that was a great take
And why we run no plays and jacking up 3s. Guess Pep ain’t teach you nada.
it's funny how mazzulla is the only person on the celtics with any aura
Legit thought it was Celtic FC at 1st lmao
Yanited need him
oh look its the most pretentious coach in the NBA that started on third base…
Footie, the Steve Nash advantage.
This host loves the sound of his own voice. Fuck me.
Joe Mazzulla is a great Lakers coach.
Pride of Rhode Island, a huge inspiration to me that Little Rhody can produce prominent figures. Hoping I’ll be in that list in the coming decades 🙂
Seems like a good guy and I like him but the Celtics are so boring to watch
Really looks like Joel Matip too.
Really impressive coach. His attention to detail shows in how Boston plays. Unfortunately I’m a Sixers fan so that sucks.
You are such a great interviewer
basketball and soccer (yes im calling it soccer as im an american and thats what we call it) are easily my favorite sports and i think they both have a lot of similarities that i enjoy . i hate the celtics , but this was a cool video
As a Celtics fan, who primarily watches football. I was fully expecting Celtic from Scotland, not my Celtics. 😂😂😂
1:09 what an amazing intro you gave him
Here for Mazulla but the interviewer asked fantastic questions and didn't once mess with the flow of the interview. Fantastic work! ❤
football gaffers can learn a lot from other sports but they are too proud or something, or maybe tunnel vision. icehockey in particular there's so much you can take from there.. arsenal geting ideas from the nfl thats not too bad as set play is like 90% of the nfl
Great man and coach👏
Fucking NEXT LEVEL
ah, I love the coach of the boston celtics Jake mazzulla
Celtics fan who never watches football – your facial expressions are so good. They show intense understanding and joy!
Yeah i always said growing up to people that didn't do the other that theyre basically the same game. Both are really good at teaching movement. Broad and acute amounts of space, passing, lanes, all of it.
This is fun to watch. First time watching this channel but I’m in. Thank you.
I hate the celtics but i like their players and coach. lmao
The overlooked piece in this basketball football crossover is the effect the worldwide popularity of the video game “FIFA” by ea Sports had…
“Listen Joe and listen good. The first key to being a good coach is have all the best players in the world”
