Have you talked to Pep Guardiola lately? Joe Mazzulla: I talk to him every couple of days. Well, they’re going through some challenges too, right? But they’re playing well, though. I was able to spend some time with him here in Orlando over the summer. They were here for the (FIBA) Club World Cup. And just the joy and the humility that guy coaches with, with the amount of success that he has, is amazing. That to me is what it’s about. Anybody could have joy and humility when you are guaranteed to win or when you quote ‘have it.’ But to keep that competitive joy and that humility, that to me is what it’s all about over the course of a journey. And he has that. There have been times where he’s called me after they lost and I’m like, ‘I don’t know. I would never have called me.’ And he has just amazing perspective. So, they’re playing well. I enjoy [the conversations] and I’m always learning from him, especially from that standpoint.
