It was a pretty big deal when the Zen Master Phil Jackson reacted to Kendrick Lamar’s verse on “Control.” Kendrick made a Phil Jackson reference in his verse & Phil responded to it. Well now over 2 months later, Phil Jackson is explaining why he responded.
Check out what he had to say…
Via AHH:
According to the legendary coach it was a mixture of being lonely and the instigation of people on Twitter to not let Kendrick say that without being responded to that prompted the tweet:
[Twitter’s] where you can communicate with people that are completely out of your, you know, your range of influence and your social grouping. But the connection between basketball and rap is so deep that many of the people that tweet back and forth to me were saying, ‘You gotta come back at Lamar after he gives you this [line.]‘ I read the mentions on that, I was in a down phase in Montana, obviously, and I was looking for some social communication and so I threw that out there and of course, that was a hot line to get a buzz.
