Was Hall of Fame Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird hard to guard in his prime?
"People ask me all the time, 'Who's the hardest player (to guard)?' And I always say, (Bird), because I played against Michael Jordan, George Gervin, Andrew Toney—those guys'," shared Cooper. "When they passed the ball, they had a tendency to take a break for a second."
"Larry never was going to take a break," he added.
"Larry was going to go get an offensive rebound, he was going to go set a back pick—he was going to do something to impact that possession. That's why he was the hardest."

Luka Doncic started doing two-a-day workouts after Lakers lost in 2025 NBA Playoffs
For months and perhaps years, Luka Doncic has been criticized for his lack of fitness and conditioning. A good amount of that criticism seemed to come from the Dallas Mavericks after they traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 1, perhaps as their attempt to justify what most considered a brain-dead trade. But by all accounts, ever since the Lakers lost in the first round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs, Doncic has been working hard to get into the best shape he has been in since early in his career. He looks noticeably slimmer this summer, and according to one report, he has been "incredibly committed to his conditioning" while adopting a strict diet. Javier Barrio, a physiotherapist, told Men's Health magazine that Doncic started doing two workouts a day with trainer Anze Macek right after the Minnesota Timberwolves eliminated the Lakers, and that he wanted to start transforming his body right then and there. "His goal this year?" wrote Andrew Heffernan. "Come into his first full season as a Laker in the best shape of his life. In three months. "No big deal. "Macek took charge of the workouts—except Sundays, Dončić hit two per day, with plenty of lifting, mobility, and court drills. But fueling the 6'7' point guard as he underwent this Rocky-style transformation may have been an even tougher job: a chemistry experiment where all the elements not only had to fulfill a specific function, but also taste great and make sense to Luka as he learned the ropes of performance nutrition. 'He's 26, and it's a learning process,' says Barrio. "It helped that their client was motivated. Luka's final game with the Lakers was April 30th; days later he was on the plane to his native Slovenia. 'He arrived May fifth, and said, I want to start immediately,' recalls Barrio. And he did: right around the time you'd forgive a pro athlete for kicking back with pizza and a few beers, Luka went low-carb." Doncic reportedly had a habit of enjoying his beer and hookah over the years. But he has apparently accepted a more balanced diet and health regimen, especially after all the playoff losses he has endured through seven NBA seasons. It was just one calendar year ago that Doncic and the Mavericks lost in the championship series to the Boston Celtics, which made it clear that he wasn't well-conditioned enough to take home basketball's grand prize. The criticism hit a crescendo when the Lakers fell flat on their faces in the playoffs a few months ago, and it seemed to culminate with coach JJ Redick telling the media that the team needed to get into "championship shape." Most interpreted that comment as being directed squarely at Doncic, even though Redick never mentioned Doncic by name when making the comment. But the Slovenian superstar is apparently doing his part, and it could mean lots of trouble for the rest of the league.

Can we expect a change in play style from the Boston Celtics next season?
Heading into the new NBA season, the Boston Celtics are expected to tweak their play style. Brad Stevens has already discussed the franchise's desire to see the team play at a higher pace with quicker decision-making. Stevens has added multiple young talents to the rotation, likely in the hope that Mazzulla will feel empowered to see the team put the pedal to the floor as often as possible. Of course, when you have Jaylen Brown and Derrick White on your roster, you also need to be comfortable playing in the half-court, which is where Boston has excelled in recent years. Mazzulla's job will be to find a balance between the two approaches and figure out how to blend them together, and what play calls can work out of each situation. During a recent segment on "98.5 The Sports Hub," Coley Mick joined James Stewart to discuss the issues with Boston's play style last season, and the changes we could expect to see, both this season and in the years to come. The two hosts also touched on the stagnation we saw from the Celtics roster as the 2024-25 season wore on. You can watch the full podcast episode by clicking on the embedded video above.

Will the Boston Celtics keep Joe Mazzulla no matter what next season?
Since taking over as the Boston Celtics head coach, Joe Mazzulla has always had a winning roster. He inherited a team that boasted Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. For the past two seasons, Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday have also been part of the rotation. However, things will be much different in the upcoming season. Mazzulla must now adopt a different style of coaching. Rather than contending for a championship, his remit will primarily be focused on talent development as the Celtics continue to retool the roster following Jayson Tatum's Achilles tendon tear. Therefore, the expectations on Mazzulla's shoulders are far different from what he's become accustomed to. Still, that doesn't mean there won't be high expectations from some sections of the Celtics fan base. In a recent episode of NESN's "Hold My Banner," Travis Thomas & George Balekji discussed Mazzulla's job security, and whether his position could come under the microscope if Boston doesn't achieve its goals next season. In truth, Mazzulla's job is likely safe. However, if you want to watch the discussion, you can do so by clicking on the embedded video above.
