Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla isn’t known for his off-court theatrics. But his recent response to a seemingly innocuous question has left the NBA world buzzing.
In a guest appearance on Zach Lowe’s The Lowe Post podcast, the conversation somehow got derailed with bank robbery talk.
Instead of a quick joke or a dismissive response, Mazzulla launched into a surprisingly detailed explanation. He spoke about the importance of planning, assembling a team with specific skillsets, and the need for meticulous execution. While he never endorsed illegal activity, his answer went far beyond the realm of a hypothetical scenario.
Favorite part of this (great) pod was Mazzulla 110 percent earnestly answering Zach’s question on how he’d rob a bank. https://t.co/NY6N11KxpW pic.twitter.com/86lNGKWZac
