""It's more about the players, more about the work that the staff puts in. It's just that simple. I don't ever want to be asked or talk about it again. It's just that dumb. The players play, it's about them. The staff works their a** off. I'm grateful to have them.""
""I'm not a basketball coach, I'm just a person that shows up every day to help people. I think that's the way that you have to look at it. I don't coach basketball, I don't really care about basketball as much as I care about the people.""
Joe Mazzulla, a top contender for NBA Coach of the Year, believes the focus should be on the players and coaching staff rather than individual awards. Despite missing star player Jayson Tatum for much of the season, the Celtics have achieved significant success, including a fifth-consecutive 50-win season and a strong position in the Eastern Conference. Mazzulla expresses gratitude for his team and downplays the importance of personal recognition, stating that his role is about supporting others rather than just winning games.
