"People are gonna say the target is on our back, but I hope it's right on our forehead in between our eyes. I hope I can see the red dot."

Joe Mazzulla has only been head coach of the Boston Celtics for two seasons.

But the hyper-focused and often blunt basketball coach has already delivered decades worth of headline-stealing quotes and viral musings while fielding questions from the media.

The 2024 NBA champion already set the tone for the upcoming 2024-25 season on Monday, stressing that Boston isn't focused on pressure amid their title defense because, as the 36-year-old coach put it, "we're all going to be dead soon."

Add in his obsession with the Ben-Affleck-directed flick "The Town," relishing in the pain of tearing his meniscus, and harping on killer whales, and Mazzulla's pressers and interviews have now become appointment viewing in the NBA.

With the 2024-25 Celtics set to tip off on Tuesday (and with more Mazzulla soundbites inevitably on the way), here's a look back at 30 of Mazzulla's best quotes since taking over as Boston's head coach.
