If Joe Mazzulla Robbed A Bank, Here's How He'd Do It
Joe Mazzulla doesn't really seem like the type of guy who would rob a bank. But he's definitely the type of guy who's thought about it.
The Boston Celtics head coach appeared on Zach Lowe's The Lowe Post podcast last week to discuss his team's championship season. But at one point, the conversation de-railed into how Mazzulla would pull off a bank heist. (Hypothetically, of course.)
And he's put a surprising amount of thought into his role in the successful robbery.
"I would either want to plan the whole thing, like attention to detail. Find the people that you know’s personalities and characteristics work for each positioning that you need. It’s all about the preparation," Mazzulla explained.
"Once you’re in that moment, you have to rely on the preparation similar to a game. So I would like to be the guy that plans it or hires the people and sets it in motion. Or the guy that has to have steady hands, control his breathing to execute the safe."

That's oddly specific. But what do you expect from a guy who is obsessed with the movie The Town?
In case you're not familiar, The Town — a 2010 film starring Ben Affleck and Jeremy Renner — follows a group of bank robbers in Boston. It's a gritty action drama that helped Affleck to inject new life into his career and propel Renner to superstar status. Mazzulla admitted to sometimes watching it four times a week.
It all makes sense now!
