I’m in LA right now watching the game (on tv). I mean…game 6, what can I say? We’re up by 30 points. 30. Greg and I keep laughing. Look, Rondo just stole the ball from Kobe. I mean come on, this is awesome. Paul Pierce just spun around to shoot and the entire Lakers team fainted out of deference and fear.
But this post is not about the Celtics. It’s about Phil Jackson. Let me start by saying: I really like Phil Jackson. They took us into the locker-room before the game and he was giving an impassioned speech that put Doc Rivers’ to shame and actually worried me a little bit. And a couple games back, in a post-game interview (after the Lakers blew a 1 million point lead), Jackson was so chill and reasonable that I just had to take notes on good adab. I do like the guy.
But all that means nothing. Because Phil Jackson is a Marvel Supervillain.
I figure he’s just waiting until he takes another championship to start floating around menacingly, making thinly veiled threats to the world’s leadership.
Oh my God, Ray-ray just scored another 3-pointer to take us to 101. If we all left the game right now, they would have trouble winning. Anyway, back to Phil Jackson–what kind of powers do you think he has besides heat-vision and floating? I bet he has some kind of retractable vampire incisors. Hmmm, what else? Ideas?
