NEW FEATURE: In an alternate world, Amile Jefferson is still in the NBA. In his last-ever game as a pro, he tallied 20 points & 15 rebounds. But Jefferson picked coaching, and the Celtics’ are the biggest beneficiaries: You can tell he’s a winner.”
Love Amile. And he has such strong bond with Tatum too. He will call him out.
Senior at Duke when Tatum was a Freshman
Oh I know. National champ
Bobby Krivitsky: I asked Amile Jefferson if he’s getting feedback from people like Joe Mazzulla, Jon Scheyer, and Coach K during his opportunity as the Celtics’ Summer League head coach.
“All those people you named are really in my corner and have been super helpful to me in my career.
“Jon’s one of my closest friends. He’s really smart. He’s an amazing coach. So as much as I can talk to him; the feedback that I get from Joe is always really good, and he’s been amazing to my growth and my career. “So especially those two, being able to talk to them before games, after games, just making sure I’m good and knowing that I have their support is really helpful to me.”
Nice, thanks for posting
“I was them,” he said. “I played in three summer leagues. I know what it’s like to be fighting to make it. I know what it’s like to be undrafted. I know what it’s like to be in a new environment, learning a new system in three days, and then trying to apply it.”
THIS is why (great) journalists matter.
Noa has added emphasis: you KNOW what Amile is stressing as speaks. You can hear this, even if you don’t know his voice.
Which underlines how good a coach he is. Who doesn’t want to play for the guy who KNOWS and wants to help?
Awesome feature that lets me think I know Amile Jefferson, future Head Coach, by a great journalist.
