For many people, the British royal family is a big deal.
They track all of their moves and read everything about them, so when the Prince of Wales and future king William showed up to the Celtics game with his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales, many people thought it was a huge deal.
Not the Celtics.
The crowd gave the Prince and Princess a big cheer, but when Jaylen Brown and head coach Joe Mazzulla were asked about the royal family at the game, they showed less than enthused answers. Brown said it was just another game, and Joe Mazzulla gave a better solution than Brown.
He was asked if he got to meet the royal family, and he responded by asking if they meant Jesus, Mary, and Joseph because he was only familiar with one royal family. He did say he hoped the Prince and Princess were Celtic fans.
Boston Celtics Coach Joe Muzzulla was unimpressed with the Prince and Princess of Wales’ appearance at his team’s game, where they were booed and blasted with USA chants.
At an after-game press conference, Muzzulla, 34, was asked if he had a chance to meet the visiting Royal Family, to which he replied: ‘Jesus, Mary, and Joseph?’
When the reporter laughed and corrected him, he waved the question off, telling her hadn’t met the couple, who kicked off their American tour in Boston on Wednesday for the Earthshot Prize awards – a three-day event commemorating people who have made significant contributions to environmentalism.
‘Oh no, I did not [get to meet them]. I’m only familiar with one Royal Family, I’m not too familiar with [the British] one,’ he told reporters, despite being pictured standing right in front of them.
Hilarious answers by the Celtics.
