[Culture Crave] Joe Mazzulla showed the interrogation room scene from The Dark Knight to Jayson Tatum to work on handling expectations and pressure. “Batman goes ‘Why do you want to kill me?’ the Joker starts laughing at him like ‘I don’t want to kill you, I need you. You complete me’.”

Joe Mazzulla says he showed the interrogation room scene from #TheDarkKnight to Jayson Tatum to work on 'handling expectations and pressure'

"Batman goes ‘Why do you want to kill me?’ … the Joker starts laughing at him like ‘I don’t want to kill you, I need you … You complete me’… It was the coolest moment of good and evil having to coexist. Differences have to coexist in order to bring the best out of each other"

    He’s so weird. Hope hes in Boston for decades

  2. recollectionsmayvary

    as someone who routinely quotes heath ledger’s joker IRL, I genuinely appreciate Maz coaching a billion dollar franchise by the Joker’s idealogy.

    Some shit a JV 8th grade basketball coach would do not gonna lie

  4. The_Uncut_Gem

    Quite frankly have we seen a guy like Mazz before?

  5. Domainsetter

    It’s like a Facebook meme come to life a bit

  6. Joe is corny

    Tatum is corny

    Luke is Korny

    The rest of the squad are dawgs though

    You can just call us the Boston Corndogs

  7. Imagine he is coach the Pistons.

    They losing 30 straight, while he’s talking about killer whales, Batman and Joker.

  8. Remarkable_Wafer1996

    So he’s like the average film bro who’ll find any excuse to shove Christopher Nolan down your throat?

    If you watch the whole interview you see that Joe is a goofy nerdy guy whose “psycho” persona is more of a media act than it is his real personality. At times during his first year I was questioning his sanity and intelligence but it’s largely a bit imo.

  10. This lunatic is a championship winning coach lmao

  11. thunderous2007

    Holy shit this man actually is a psychopath.

    Different coaching styles.

    One of the old guard might have told Jayson

    ‘You gotta work on your decision making under pressure’

    Mazzulla said

    ‘Do you wanna know how I got these scars?’

  13. I keep accidentally reading this as saying that Nikola Jokic said that

  14. rugbyman12367

    Joe mazzulla seems solid. But it will be funny if they ever start losing and he’s doing all this weird stuff. Hes gonna get cooked

  15. Efficient_Art_1144

    You know that guy who hangs out at your gym all the time and watches way too much YouTube? So he’s an nba champion coach now

  16. CabbageStockExchange

    People say he’s the NBA Pep.

    Man this dude is the Bielsa of the NBA. Proper crazy and obsessive he’s great lol

  17. Victorcreedbratton

    He has a Joker tattoo and/or poster in his home.

  18. Luka_Dunks_on_Bums

    Jason Kidd is going to read this and show Luka the Heat shootout scene

  19. thy_armageddon

    Glad he chose that interrogation scene and not the one from Prisoners.

  21. kevinfederlinebundle

    Do you think Joe Mazzulla has ever waterboarded anyone?

  22. recleaguesuperhero

    Lol that had to be awkward as hell for someone as introverted as Tatum

  23. BugO_OEyes

    I despise the cs

    But love joe and happy al got a ring lol

  25. LetMeInImTrynaCuck

    Joe mazzula was like 9 when the Dark Knight came out

  26. TinnieTa21

    I’m confused.

    Is Tatum supposed to be Batman and the media as a whole as the Joker? In other words, the media needs Tatum to have a talking point and be ‘complete’?

    Or am I just overthinking this and the man is just a weird fuck? Lol

  27. Western-Variation524

    I actually like Joe Mazulla 30% as much as I despise the Celtics. That’s a lot.
