  1. Looks like we got ourselves a ‘troll war’ between these two coaches today

    Love Joe but dude is a nut. One of my friends played under him at fairmont. apparently one day, after practice, all the other players had left the court, and it was just my friend and joe mazzulla left. joe got this intense look in his eyes and said, “hey, wanna learn something special?” my friend was kind of curious and was like sure definitely. joe mazzulla proceeded to pull out a cassette tape of anderson silva highlights and popped it into an old tv/ver combo he had in his office. they sat down and watched it together, with joe occasionally pausing the tape to explain a particular move or technique. he was like, gently grunting throughout. after they finished watching, joe said, “now it’s your turn.” he had my friend stand up and try to replicate silva’s moves, with joe providing really close guidance and feedback. they went on like this for hours, joe never once losing his enthusiasm or energy. my friend, on the other hand, was completely exhausted by the end and just passed out. he woke up with joe feeding him ice chips and cradling him in his arms with the tape still playing in the background. my friend never forgot that night, and he’s told me it was one of the most memorable experiences of his basketball career. we still laugh about it sometimes, and it’s become kind of a running joke between us. but maybe there’s some truth to the idea that anderson silva’s moves can be applied to the basketball court. or maybe joe mazzulla just really, really loves anderson silva

    Honestly don’t know what to make of this guy

    The delivery was really funny but from what I know of Mazzula is that he’s a catholic and a man of faith and what I also got from his statement, is that color is irrelevant at least for now and that faith is more important cuz we are all brothers

  20. Is this one of those “There haven’t been a lot of Christian coaches coaching NBA Finals” things were Christians believe they’re somehow a minority?

  21. Mrkingladder

    Joe Mazzulla think he’s Obi Wan with these quotes.

    Perhaps he just doesn’t strongly identify with his being black or doesn’t want that to be what people think of when they see him? Like he thinks the question is foolish? He may just be conservative and ascribe to the color blindness that many do. He may think it’s just a foolish question and throws out Christian coaches as another fairly meaningless distinction as he sees it.

  23. My man has a minimum of 3 bodies in his outside freezer. Minimum.
