NEW YORK (AP) December 2nd, 2010 — The NBA has spoken with the Los Angeles Lakers about a meany name calling that coach Phil Jackson made Tuesday night’s game in San Antonio.
The Spurs made 13 3-pointers in their 107-92 victory, and Jackson was asked if too much whining and puoting was leading to bad chemistry with the team.
“We call this a Rugrats game, because there’s so much “waaaaaah” and “waaaaaaaah,” Jackson said. “It was one of those games where the players were just like crybabies. Literally, they were like crawling on the floor drooling. At one point, someone asked to be fed! They guys looked like they wanted to be mothered,” Phil continues, “I mean, what a bunch of little tots.”
The 1998 film, which won three awards, depicts babies crawling around and basically being babies — in cartoon form..
“The remarks are in poor taste, and the Lakers have assured us such remarks will not occur in the future,” league spokesman Brian McIntyre said.

This looks to be up a while ago, so I dunno if you’ve already seen it (probably have, looking at the vid’s stats) but since I’m killing time (re: not paying attention in class) I thought I’d post it here as well (5 mins-ish):
Couple things:
- It’s so complicated my puny brain just got fried from attempting to believe I now grasp what it takes to break down the Tri-O
- Tex Winters is awesome.
- I wonder who the hell that “Annie” is? ooh, my bad..
- John Salley doesn’t really add much, very disappointed
The rest of it: Parts 2, 3, 4, 5 And Phil Jax is surprisingly (at least to me) lively and active when he does some of the demostrations. I always thought that hip of his has already made him into a fossil—who knew? Oh yeah, of course there’s a requisite shot of Jeanie Buss in part 5.
Bonus: SCREAMIN’ A SMITH IS QUITE FRANKLY ON A SOAP!!!
