Phil Jackson Pretends Kobe Bryant Didn't Really Leave Him Hanging

When you get left hanging, there really isn't any way to play it off without looking ridiculous. You have basically two choices: pretend it didn't happen and try to look busy. Or (and this is your best option) acknowledge it, make a joke, and move on.

Lakers head coach Phil Jackson opted for the former, and then we all had to suffer through him pretending like his fist really was taking the long route to the side of his face.

Moving pictures evidence after the jump.



No, Phil, we all saw it: Kobe Bryant stiffed you. I don't think it was intentional, but that's not he point. Next time, either pass on the pregame fist bumps or really accentuate it when you get left hanging. It'll be less embarrassing.
