An important part of Brad Stevens’s game-day routine has nothing to do with basketball
Game-day preparations for coaches usually consist of film sessions, shootarounds, and meetings, but for Brad Stevens, an added component to his typical regimen is none other than a classic arcade game.
Speaking to an Indiana crowd at an event hosted by Boys & Girls Club of Zionsville, the Celtics head coach revealed that he often plays multiple games of Ms. Pac-Man before the Celtics take the court.
The 40-year-old has been “eating dots” since his wife bought him an old-fashioned machine a few years ago, according to the Indy Star’s Andy Brown.
“I play Ms. Pac-Man for 10 to 15 games as a break between video,” Stevens said. “Then I go on my jog and go about my daily routine, but I make sure to get my Ms. Pac-Man game in at home every single day. 10-15 minutes [of video games] isn’t that bad. Tell your parents you’re good.”
