Phil Jackson clarified his April comments on the NBA becoming too political, saying on the 'Gimme the Hot Sauce' podcast he didn't think 'people got the humor.'
"I don’t think people got the humor. . . . The names are on the back of the players that were in the bubble because if you apply them to defending and challenging and going to the hoop, and you use those monikers that were on the names, it had a funny aspect to it," Jackson said."That’s just what I was bringing up to the kids. Visually, this is kind of humorous."
The Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks take a knee during the National Anthem prior to Game One of the Eastern Conference Second Round during the 2020 NBA Playoffs at the Field House at ESPN Wide World Of Sports Complex on August 31, 2020 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
