Celtics owner Bill Chisholm recently spoke with Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe about his first year leading the franchise, including how he has approached connecting with players and staff.

“I feel extremely welcome. I try to find the right balance of being supportive and visible to them without making them feel like I’m looking over their shoulder.

“I try to be super available, super positive, and I’ve tried to develop a relationship with all the players, and certainly with [head coach Joe Mazzulla].

“We’re on the same page, and I’m a huge fan. And [president of basketball operations Brad Stevens] and his team are tremendous.”

Chisholm said his goal is to fit in without disrupting chemistry while staying connected with players and staff.
