Phil Jackson sounds off on Brokeback Lakers
Funny man Phil Jackson displayed his boneheaded, yet funny, taste again after their Tuesday night loss to the Spurs. The Lakers‘ coach was asked if too much penetration led to open outside shooters, with the Spurs making 13 three-pointers. Coach Phil Jackson responded: “We call this a ‘Brokeback Mountain‘ game, because there’s so much penetration and kickouts.” Funny? Absolutely! But coaches aren’t allowed to sound off with controversial comments or even slightly stereotypical slurs such as this one, so he was reprimanded by the league. Jackson ‘apologized’, but added “If I’ve offended any horses, Texans, cowboys or gays, I apologize.” Well done.
