Separated at birth?!?

Look I know Phil Jackson is not that old but damnit, these two must be the greatest zen masters in world... EVER!!!

Bodhidharma, Phil Jackson. One revived Buddhism when it was failing in China... one revived my beloved Lakers when they were sucking eggs in LA. One has hundreds of millions of followers in China, the other has millions of followers all over the world!!! One is Chinese, and the other is doing Jerry Bus' daughter. We can't trust the Chinese when it comes to Basketball because so far the only contribution they have given is Yao "I look like Drago in Rocky IV" Ming. But Phil Jackson, although his choice for Jeannie is questionable, he is the Zen Master who is making me smile.

He was able to take a bunch of inexperienced players like Luke Walton, Sasha V(I can't spell his name)zik, and Smush Parker, and make them play like they were seasoned veterans. He was able to take players that people have given up on, like Lamar Odom and Kwame Brown, and made them into the twoers of domination this side of Rasheed and Ben. And he was able to reign in the talent and spirit of The Ocho, and get the best year of his life out of him.

Ahh... the zen master. Now I know the sound of one hand clapping, since it is now slapping Steve Nash and his buddies right in their asses.

Thanks Phil!!!
