KFDM COOP Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 Phil Jackson under fire for 'Brokeback Mountain' remark NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA has spoken with the Los Angeles Lakers about a comment coach Phil Jackson made following Tuesday night's game in San Antonio.The Spurs made 13 three-pointers in their 107-92 victory, and Jackson was asked if too much penetration was leading to open outside shooters."We call this a Brokeback Mountain game, because there's so much penetration and kickouts," Jackson said. "It was one of those games."The 2005 film, which won three Oscars, depicts two cowboys who conceal their homosexual affair. "The remarks are in poor taste, and the Lakers have assured us such remarks will not occur in the future," league spokesman Brian McIntyre said.
