The Boston Celtics kicked off their summer with a championship parade around the streets of Boston. At one point, head coach Joe Mazzulla energized the crowd by
jumping off his duck boat to high-five fans.“That’s one of the most intense things I’ve ever been a part of, and one of the coolest moments I’ve ever been a part of. As much as I would’ve loved to just sit there stoically and just enjoy the process, I felt like I had to match the energy of the people. It was a release because it was one of the times where I could be as intense as the people around me. It was like an intensity and a passion.
Looking forward to next season, Mazzulla is ready to embrace the Celtics’ role as defending champions. "People are going to say the target's on our back, but I hope it's right on our forehead, in between our eyes. I hope that I can see the red dot.”Eric Jay Santos covers the Boston Celtics for Sports Illustrated Media Group. He holds a BA in English from Bridgewater State University. Contact: [email protected]
