We've learned more about Joe Mazzulla the Boston Celtics head coach over the last year, but what about Joe Mazzulla the person? Since the start of the 2023-24 NBA season, NBC Sports Boston's video crew spent time with Mazzulla to learn what makes him tick. In Part 1 of our "Mazzulla" docuseries, the second-year coach showed how he developed his competitive spirit.

In Part 2, he offered a fascinating insight into his unique daily mindset. Part 3 of the series showed a side of Mazzulla that Celtics fans haven't seen. The 35-year-old opened up about his faith, rediscovering his identity, and feeling misunderstood. Later, he took our crew to a couple of his favorite hot spots for Italian food in Rhode Island.
