Boston Celtics Coach Joe Mazzulla Silences Room with a Single, Powerful Response to Race-Baiting Question (VIDEO)
In a press conference that should have focused on the Boston Celtics’ strategies for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks, the discourse took an unexpected detour into identity politics, thanks to a question from Vince Goodwill of Yahoo Sports.
Mazzulla, however, took the conversation a different direction.
Goodwill asked, “For the first time since 1975, this is the NBA Finals with two black head coaches. Given the plight sometimes of black head coaches in the NBA, do you think this is a significant moment? Do you take pride in this? How do you view this, or do you not see it at all?”
According to Yahoo Sports, “For the first time since 1975, the NBA Finals has a Black head coach on each sideline, with Dallas’ Jason Kidd facing off against Boston’s Joe Mazzulla. Al Attles (Golden State) and K.C. Jones (Washington) did it last in a series the Warriors won 4-0.”
In response to this question, Mazzulla silenced the room with his simple yet profound response, “I wonder how many of those have been Christian coaches.”
This response effectively silenced the room, showcasing Mazzulla’s refusal to engage in an attempt to propagate a race-baiting narrative.
