Phil Jackson is arguably one of the greatest coaches in NBA history, but when he says “them” in this interview with ESPN, who the hell is he talking about?
“When I was in the CBA, we had a commissioner who had a Christmas Eve game. I had to call him up and say that’s the holy time. … You just have to keep reminding them that this is a special day.”
“It’s like Christian holidays don’t mean anything to them anymore,” said Jackson, the son of a minister. “We just go out and play and entertain the TV. It’s really weird.”
Who are these bastards that are keeping pious Phil down? We certainly hope he doesn’t mean NBA Commissioner David Stern, and his fellow Elders of Zion.
Seriously Phil, you and your domination of the sport has brought us so much joy over the last twenty or so years, we really hope we aren’t the ones you’re talking about. We’re willing to bet it’s the owners or the Illuminati you’re talking about, and will continue to root you and Kobe on until we hear you say “those Jews are making me play on Christmas. I’m sick of it!”
