The head coach of the victorious NBA champion Boston Celtics took inspiration from the Premier League's winning manager when it came to beating the Dallas Mavericks

Joe Mazzulla, the Rhode Island native who just won an NBA title with the Celtics, publicly credited Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola with helping him.

Speaking to reporters after the Celtics won Game 5, he pointed to Guardiola with helping him in the transition game.

Dallas has one of the smartest defenses,' Mazzulla told reporters. 'We had to be creative to counter them.'

The Finals winning coach added, 'Pep [Guardiola] helped me in transitions and how to move guys.'

Guardiola was seen courtside for Game 1 of the NBA Finals - a game which the Celtics won on their home court.

Boston then dominated in Games 2 and 3 in order to take a commanding 3-0 series lead.

They followed that up by getting blown out by Dallas in one of the most lopsided defeats in NBA Finals history.

But on Monday night, Boston came out hot and returned the favor by beating the Mavericks by 18 points to win their 18th championship in franchise history.

Pep Guardiola is the greatest and most influential sports manager in the world. His influence transcends football

Pep not only conquered football, he's already making conquering another sport, the NBA just experienced his greatness that's why he's the 🐐 of all coaches dead or alive.

City are going to win 5peat next season.

No manager comes close steeze and composure na out of this world. That's my manager, I don't follow losers...

That's the definition of Aura, y'all haters should recreate this then I'll deactivate.. abi na oil money e take inspire the Celtic coach too...

Happy Sallah

The greatest manager of all time, a master tactician, a winner, the messi of coaches, your influence is very gigantic.

That is interesting

Ehen?
.
How I wan take tap from that inspiration like this?

LoL.
You already had one hand on the title
.How do you think this makes your players feel

As a Manchester United fan, it still pains me that Pep did not succeed Sir Alex Ferguson. He was the most natural replacement, but the Glazer idiots lacked the vision and foresight to see into the future.

Man U go stain hin white

Over hyped

Can some break this down with more insights

Am not understanding. Handball vs football. How do they relate?

This guy is going to introduce tiki taka in basketball with endless passing and winning games 30-5 by passing teams to death.

The GOAT of coaches.

The game at Dallas was a deliberate loss. We wanted to win in Boston and then have proper celebration. That was perfect and indeed we won in Boston... Celebration was a blow!

Pep is a genius but his problem is that he over thinks sometimes….he is very prone to HBP😂

Any person that fails to acknowledge Pep and Messi as GOATS is not a football fan. Coincidentally, many Pendu fans are Oloshos and street agberos.

Haters will always hate
Pep will simple wax stronger.

Reds for life but I know greatness when I see it and Pep is greatness

What is the meaning of Jagaban?

Perhaps Pep also needed someone to help him win the FA CUP, and Champions league. Even the last premier League he won wasn't by winning Arsenal or Liverpool which would have meant that they took their destiny in their hands.

So all long was it Pep that has been helping him to win before the finals?!

You're on point bro

The new owners are gradually restructuring and reorganising our club and you will start seeing the results next season. I'm not saying we will win the EPL next season o! But we will definitely improve on last season. We're definitely finishing in the top 4 next season.
