Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck made embarrassing ‘Michelle’ blunder during NBA Finals celebration
NY Post
The Boston Celtics’ NBA Finals celebration had more slip-ups than their run to the title.
Amid the trophy presentation for the Celtics’ 18th NBA Championship on Monday night – becoming the winningest franchise in NBA history – owner Wyc Grousbeck accidentally addressed longtime sideline reporter Lisa Salters as Michelle.
Salters asked Grousbeck about how the team met and exceeded the lofty expectations put on them this season.
“Michelle, the brilliance of Joe Mazzulla is that he wouldn’t let expectations get in the way,” Grousbeck responded in crediting the Celtics coach.
“Joe Mazzulla said there is no expectations, you have to win or die trying. Joe set a plan and kept everyone focused. These guys played team basketball, great Celtics basketball. It wasn’t about expectations, it was about getting it done. Banner 18.”
Grousbeck is one of four members of the investment group, the Boston Basketball Partners, which purchased the Celtics in 2002 for $360 million.
