Former NBA<\/em> coach Phil Jackson<\/strong> is pretty good in an ad he is currently starring in for Audi<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Jax”, who led the Los Angeles Lakers<\/em> and Chicago Bulls<\/em> to championships, tells a restaurant boss yelling at an underling that “I have found that anger is the enemy of instruction.”<\/p>\n

When the restaurant boss doesn’t recognize the ex-Knicks player and ignores the advice, Jackson deadpans “you’re probably right” as he leaves to retrieve his vehicle from the valet.<\/p>\n

Jackson then gets into his Audi<\/em> after receiving a compliment from “real” commercial star “Todd” — who as an aside is in ads for Dunkin Donuts, Progressive, ESPN<\/em> and many others.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=55QPT5vhk6E<\/a>\n

I am admittedly uncomfortable about Phil Jackson, as his teams often beat my faves in the Utah Jazz<\/em> and New York Knicks<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I also wonder how “great” he’d be considered if Jackson weren’t “instructing” the likes of all-time greats Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Kobe Bryant<\/strong> and Shaquille O’Neal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I am probably not being fair, but what do you think?<\/p>\n
