Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla revealed that he coached through a torn meniscus during the team's playoff run, which culminated in winning the NBA Championship. Mazzulla is set to undergo knee surgery following the victory. He credited Pep Guardiola for helping him strategize against tough defenses, particularly mentioning Dallas. Mazzulla, known for his devout Catholic faith, prays the rosary before games and was seen wearing a 'But first, let me thank GOD' shirt after the win. The Celtics captured their 18th title, and Mazzulla plans to visit Jerusalem instead of Disney World to celebrate. He was also spotted taking the Larry O’Brien Trophy through Boston’s North End, allowing fans to touch it.
