The Boston Celtics might be starting a season in which they hope to contend for an NBA title with an untested interim head coach in Joe Mazzulla, but in the eyes of former Celtics floor general Kemba Walker, Boston has itself a “great coach” according to the former UConn standout in a postgame interview with NBC Boston Sports’ Abby Chin on Friday.
In attendance to see two of his former ball clubs go at it in his adopted home state of North Carolina as the Charlotte Hornets and Celtics played a preseason tilt in Greensboro, Walker spoke with Chin about the team’s new head coach for the 2022-23 season, the growth of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, and more.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what Walker thinks about his former team as it gears up for a title run.
