In his conversation with Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe, Celtics owner Bill Chisholm pointed to the team’s leadership structure as a major strength.

“I do not take that for granted. I look around at the owners’ meetings and talking to other folks and hear of the challenges they have and the wholesale changes they have to make, not just to their rosters but their management. It is extraordinary here.

“It’s all I know, but I know enough to know this is not normal to have this. I am going to fight and claw and do everything in my power to make sure we keep it going with those guys.”

Chisholm highlighted how continuity with Joe Mazzulla and Brad Stevens has created a rare level of stability compared to many other franchises around the league.
