Bostin Celtics star Jaysen Tatum explained coach Joe Mazzulla's unique use of UFC clips during the ongoing NBA Finals.
Now just one win away from the Boston Celtics’ 18th NBA title, Jayson Tatum has revealed coach Joe Mazzulla shows the team specific footage from UFC fights as motivation to take down the Dallas Mavericks.A dominant regular season saw the Celtics put together the best record in the NBA and secure home court advantage throughout the playoffs, and in the first three rounds Tatum and company bested the Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Indiana Pacers to return to the NBA Finals.
The Celtics have now stormed out to a commanding 3-0 lead in the series over the Mavericks, and following Game 3 in Dallas Tatum explained that head coach Mazzulla shows the team clips of UFC fighters attempting to fend off what appear to be fight-ending submissions.“Joe does a great job of showing us clips and things from different sports. He’s a big UFC fan. Showing us fights of people that – I don’t know like the terminology of UFC – but put ‘em in a chokehold and s***.
Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and the other Celtics stars will certainly have to be ready for a huge push from the Mavericks in Game 4, and perhaps Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving will be able to stave off defeat in the same way the fighters do in the UFC clips Mazzulla has been showing his team.Drew is an MMA writer that regularly watches regional events in addition to major promotions such as the UFC, PFL, Bellator, and ONE Championship.
