Joe Mazzulla stares at reporter who asked if Jayson Tatum participated in practice yesterday
Normal Mazzulla response
You will never have a tank year with him as your coach. He’s too dedicated to being awesome.
r/NBA’s How to Fix Tanking #9978346784: Clone 30 Mazzulla’s and assign one to each team.
What are we gonna do with the 31st one of him?
Celtics lose the advantage of being the only team with Mazzulla, so they get two!
They turn on each other and end up with none.
Gotta admit it would be fun to watch!
Or they fuse DBZ style but somehow come out as the exact same dude, regular Joe. Very much a 2 x 2 = 2 situation
Heat would have Spo still so they are still at a disadvantage
Yeah, but they’d have Mazzulla + Spo now!
Yeah thata what I meant Spoach is the goat and theyd have a joe as well while celts only have 2 joes
You keep Mazzulla prime in reserve to clone again when the other Mazzullas inevitably kill each other during a game
You’re constantly subbing one clone in so they all get turns watching the town
He’d rather challenge the starting 5s of every team in the league to a fistfight than intentionally not win games.
It is more likely he will drive an actual tank onto an NBA court than he will coach a tanking season.
i always thought it was a bit but now i don’t know any more
If this is a bit he is the most brilliant comedian of all time.
He is my favorite to watch pressers of.
The man is mentally ill
The drowned out national anthem really adds to the eeriness
This feels like an A24 horror movie trailer
He seems like a Key and Peele character. Key could do a spot on impression
He was, it was the UFC guy, thats basically who Mazzula is
i can absolutely see Joe saying some shit like “God’s lessons are beautiful”
I lose it when someone edit it as 40k character. Getting called crazy by the people worshiping and in the legion of chaos god

That was great! Didn’t realize my life was missing that.
Jordan as his anger translator would be fun too.
Feels like that scene in nope
thought it was an Arabic call to prayer at first
Same thing
dm me for qtips
can you do cat facts too?
Bro I’m high on a mushroom chocolate bar and this is fucking hilarious
So uh, you get those from a vape shop or something, or do you mean like a legit psilocybin one?
Lmfaoo it’s real. From Colorado I think. It’s my first trip ever and I get on reddit and this video is the first thing I see 😂😂😂
There is a movie called Baraka on prime that might be fun to watch while tripping. It’s just music and cool visual stuff, no plot or dialogue to follow. Near the end it gets into some grim parts of human history which could be less fun tho.
The mortal kombat guy?
so glad our coach made you happy
Oh he’s comedy gold.
Samsara, from the same director, is my absolute favorite thing I’ve ever watched while tripping
Ahh thanks.
Listen to the song homingbird by kinnship
Definitely will. Appreciate it
Great song. Thanks again
Be careful on here big dog
Schedule 35
Why is that even happening? Is this a pregame interview?
Anthem singers practice before the game too sometimes
Yeah I got shivers down my spine, something just felt off with this entire video 💀
Illegal screen
still not sure if he’s a troll or if he’s genuinely on the spectrum or something.
It’s probably both
spectroll
Please let this be a thing
It is! It appears to be Russian car dealership scams.
“Polyurethane anti-gravel film designed to protect the paintwork of the car from chipping, scratches, sandblasting and reagents.”
He plays it up for sure
This is his public persona but he also clearly has a type of autism. He despises these post-game interviews
You can tell he extra hates the super obvious questions. Definitely has on the spectrum energy, but he also plays it up and has a very dry sense of humor
Pop media presence 2.0 honestly. Pop and Mazzulla act the same way with media and I love it.
It reminds me a lot of Belichick. Doesn’t give two shits about stupid questions but if you ask Belichick about a kicker’s performance from 30 years ago he’ll go on a 4 minute tangent.
Which makes sense, since Mazulla is a New Englander and would’ve been a teenager when New England had their dynasty.
He loves the technical questions. When he gets the trite ones he tries to credit the players, but for technical questions he can just answer.
He doesn’t have autism. He just hates dealing with media and has a dry sense of humor
People on reddit swear everyone is autistic
I agree that there is a recent obsession with labeling everyone as autistic, but Mazzulla legitimately has a case lol
Obviously not gonna try to diagnose, but I have seen much more egregious examples of claiming someone is autistic.
The word has crept a lot but Mazzulla clearly has a very weird way of socializing
He could just be an asshole. Some people are just assholes and don’t care. Not all Autistic people are Sheldon Cooper as well. The whole “spectrum” Autism has became basically means every single person alive could claim autism. I mean I hate talking to people and I like airplanes. Shit must be autistic.
Game recognize game
Yea, i think its because a lot of redditors genuinely have autism and by labeling celebrities as well it makes them feel validated
i don’t know how people can feel comfortable blithely diagnosing a person like that. i just assume people aren’t until they say they are.
It’s not normal for an American to be so dry at his age. That’s why people are saying he’s autistic. He’s actually hilarious, he just don’t laugh or smile when he’s joking so the internet just assumes autism.
It’s pretty normal for the New England/New York/New Jersey area.
The only thing stopping him from just outright calling them stupid is getting fined.
How do you know for sure? Absolutely nothing wrong with being on the spectrum
100% high functioning autist
one of us
No they said high functioning.
im high at least :)
Yes…but about the functioning part…
With the fixation he has on The Town, I find it hard to believe he’s not on the spectrum.
Like the movie?
He’s just genuinely a serial killer, and we still aren’t used to seeing one directly interviewed by media on a regular basis.
He is a killer on the court. I will always fondly remember him murdering Duke in the tournament
Joe has both identified and replicated the Zodiac Killer
He definitely hams it up but this is for sure his personality. There’s a clip of him doing a post game interview after winning a game in college and he does demonstrate the ability to show emotions in it.
Autism doesn’t mean devoid of emotion lol
I know that. I’m just saying his media persona is very stoic. I also never in my comment referred to him as autistic.
little of column a, little of column be
Yes
He’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then – aww, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin’, the ocean turns red, and in spite of all the poundin’ and the hollerin’, they all come in and rip ya to pieces
Anyway, we delivered the bomb.
I love when Charlie does this bit in its Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Haha yeah haven’t seen jaws I know this quote from always sunny
Well, sir. You are in for a treat!
He reminds me of a black Kash Patel
This is a quote from Jaws
Maybe the shark from Jaws reminds that guy of a black Kash Patel.
I’ve been saying this for years
Have they ever been in the same room or water before?
It’s a quote from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. They referenced it in Jaws
What is he, a Carcharodon now?
Probably thinking about different ways he can get away with killing him.
Debating whether to use a coin on him
Drop 2
Rosa rosa rosa rosaaaa
Joe been rocking a full hate boner for bobby manning lately 😭
It’s why he set up that coaches vs reporters game, to get Bobby
“How’re you going to criticize my coaching when you can’t even score a bucket on me?”
Don’t blame him. It’s Bobby
I think Mazzulla might have been a Dexter Morgan type if not for basketball.
Dexter Morgan has a day job as well… just saying
He does get to travel from city to city. He could be going down Tyrion’s black book
SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER
He is. Just still in the early seasons he’s not on the police radar yet.
Instead of violent criminals we’re about to see the random Twitter trolls with armchair basketball takes start to turn up dead
I was just thinking of the scene in Dexter where he’s forced to go to a prenatal yoga class, and narrates “I could probably kill her before anyone knew what happened”.
omg I pray someone adds Dexter narration over this video
I’m too high. This is comedic genius, by the universe. Even down to the national anthem playing in the background 😂. I’m literally dying.
Seriously a Christopher Nolan level movie trailer
Lmao bro seriously.
Perfect answer tbh
The “I already said what I was going to say” stare.
He’s probably been asked that 1000 times these past few days
Yeah Tatum has been “practicing” for months doing drills and scripted action. It doesn’t mean he’s been doing full contact scrimmages or that he’s been medically cleared. They keep telling people he has several more milestones to hit. This question was just asking the wrong thing that has been answered many times. Yeah obviously he was “practicing” but that doesn’t mean he was a full participant.
not to mention he answered the question but the reporter asked the same thing but in a different way…
(The laaaaand of the freeeee) 👁️👁️
He’s got some weird psychopath vibes
He is just an asshole to reporters, makes their job tough for no reason.
I wish it didn’t exist.
Maybe I’m in the minority and I’ll get downvoted to hell but it just feels like a huge waste of everyone’s time except for the 0.5% chance you’ll actually get a non PR response from a player.
I can’t imagine every day after doing my job answering the most predictable and annoying questions.
He makes 11 million dollars a year.
Builds character
He’s an asshole sure, but “for no reason”??? LMAOOOO you KNOW that’s cap.
I wonder what mazzulla does for fun outside of coaching or does he just go home and sit in the corner and stare at the wall in silence??
It’s well documented: Jiu Jitsu and watching The Town.
He’s such a dick that people just praise. I don’t get it.
Yeah I’ve enjoyed a lot of Mazzulla-isms but in this one he’s just being a weird asshole
I don’t get it either. Like I legitimately don’t understand how reddit randomly decides to like or dislike someone. Mazzulla seems like a dick and I would hate to deal with him in a professional setting - case in point, this reporter asking a very normal, simple question and then receiving this weird condescending power move.
Seems like a good coach, don’t get me wrong, but if I pulled something like this in the workplace or if someone did this to me, that would be classified as fucked up and immature.
Why does he get mad about reporters just doing their job? It’s such a childish reaction to a very normal question
It is probably annoying to have answer shit like this after a game, I feel as though it makes sense
Ok? The gig is the gig. Go coach AAU if you can’t handle it.
No basketball player is losing their job ignoring interview questions like this. It just doesn’t really matter. He will go to continue making a ton of money and not care about this type of shit. I respect it honestly. Unfortunately for you, he will not likely go coach AAU. But in my opinion this part of the gig is a snoozefest anyway and im sure most players feel the same
Oh I agree it’s the part of the gig that sucks. But at the end of the day he’s a grown ass man that took the gig.
Also it’s more fortunate for our youth that he doesn’t coach AAU. He’s an amazing coach with a very high basketball IQ. I’m just over the whole “I’m a psychopath” act.
In his mind when confirmed he was at practice, that answers any and all questions about that, so when the reporter asked if he participated in any of it, he can’t fathom that the reporter just asked the same question twice lmao
What whacky hijinks will Joe Mazzulla get into next??
Every time I see him with a haircut he looks more insane for some reason
Maz prolly stabbed the reporter multiple times in his mind here.
This is both horror and comedy
I watched the town and was thoroughly unimpressed. If I need a Boston crime movie I’m picking the Departed 10 times outta 10. It’s like Ben Affleck saw Heat drunk on a Sunday afternoon and was like “I could fawkin do this shit in Boston, they’ll rob Fenway nothin’ more Boston than the Sox”
Blake Lively is so unbelievably shit in it too. Her performance reminds me a lot of Cameron Diaz in Gangs of New York, including the wooden delivery and horrific attempt at an accent.
Also at the very beginning the love interest caused her coworkers death during the bank robbery, for no reason lol
lmfao
He nearly used his coin on him
Ooooh another Joe interview where he pretends to be a tough guy. Drop the act and just coach.
He is coaching and winning
“Darts eyes around the room” would be more accurate than “stares at.”
this gimmick is so old
Does he think he’s very tough or is he just incredibly cringe? Just answer the question jackass.
This is how anime characters look when they do some intense calculations they thought only happened in fraction of a second lol.
Mazzulla treats every Tatum injury question like classified military intel. The man said “I don’t operate on feel, I live by principle” about a practice update — he’s fully committed to the bit at this point.
That’s my psy-coach
Is he mentally challenged?
I find him extremely inauthentic and down right corny.
Kash Patel response
Who tf this dude thinks he is
Mazzulla the goat
now someone put math equation figures over his reaction shots
Joe and Bobby have a thing. It’s cute
I love him
Yes, Joe, Derek from the Athletic…was there an X in the background when JT was at practice?
Speak the man’s language. We’re a melting pot.
This man is a real-life David Lynch character lol
this whole gimmick is annoying.
Wtf is this guy’s problem?
Lmao I love that weirdo
time for that report to go off the grid
I love joe
Bobby Manning and Joe are polar opposites.
Meme template
He’s got a certain Delonte West about him…
This feels like an office scene
This was weird
We talkin’ ‘bout practice?
Insert Adam Gase crazy eyes gif.
I love this guy
That’s our coach. So weird and we are all for it.
He is a very weird man.
God hes so weird
I’m dying
He’s so weird lol. I feel like he’d be great to play for, but a really challenging person to hang out with.
Bro went to lunch playing my career mid question
Just answer the question… forgetting why? Look at your paychecks.
Fuck these guys.
The fucking background sound 😂
Why can’t we just all admit he’s autistic?
Some say that reporter is still waiting for a reply.
I want to know why he’s the way he is. Who hurt him when he was a kid? And Is he seeking therapy?
Anyone, please enlighten me
We had BB being purposefully obtuse for a decade to reporters just cause, now I want mazz to just do the opposite of just straight up acknowledging but not answer questions for a decade
Looks like one of his clones
Love crazy Joe davola
I think we may be mistaking because he asked if JT had been at practice he answered and said yes. But then you ask if he participated… when he just said he was at practice which means that’s another yes. Joe just didn’t want to answer the question twice!
“What do you think?”
