Joe Mazzulla hilariously claimed he can't understand Jaylen Brown because they both mumble

Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla was asked to give an update about 2024 NBA Finals MVP winner Jaylen Brown.

Effective communication is important between a coach and his star player, but apparently, it does not always come naturally for Mazzulla and Brown. Boston’s head coach wasn’t able to provide much information about the wing because, according to Mazzulla, they both mumble.

Brown has missed his last three games for the Celtics due to a hip injury, but Mazzulla didn’t actually add additional insights for reporters during his press conference.

The coach said that while he talks to Brown daily, the conversations don’t always go well.

“We both kind of mumble when we talk and we just shake hands and move on.”

When asked if Brown mumbled about his hip at all, Mazzulla said that he “couldn’t understand” him.

Never change, Mazzulla. Never change.
