Phil Jackson on Leon Powe shooting more freethrows than the Lakers: WTF!
Published 6/9/2008 by Sam Rubenstein at SLAM Online
... Even if the Celtics go on to do their usual road game flop, the one thing that is guaranteed in this series is that the Los Angeles Lakers can not win the championship on their home floor. Another thing that should go into the guarantee category is that Leon Powe, a back-up player who was featured in a feel good halftime piece during the game, will not shoot more free throws than the entire Lakers team.
