Giannis Praises Celtics Coach Joe Mazzulla

Giannis Antetokounmpo praised Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla in a conversation with Lori Nickel of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Giannis credited Mazzulla for “the mentality that you instilled in your place” and said, “No. It’s about you,” when Mazzulla pointed to Boston’s talent. Mazzulla gave the credit right back to his players. “You can’t do anything unless you have the players to be able to do that,” he told reporters. The comments come as questions continue around Doc Rivers and Milwaukee’s locker room, so Giannis praising a rival coach will get attention.
