Phil Jackson: Clippers Suffering From Bad Karma, Not Curse


Recommended Posts

Lakers coach Phil Jackson doesn't believe there is such thing as a "Clippers Curse," but he does have an opinion about the team's struggles.

 

"I come from a generation that believed in karma," Jackson said before Friday's Lakers-Clippers game at Staples Center. "I do think there is karma in effect ultimately."

 

Jackson was firing at Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who agreed in November to pay $2.73 million to settle allegations that he refused to rent apartments to minorities.

 

"I can't claim anybody else's karma," Jackson said. "That's their own making, whatever it is.

 

"If you do a good mitzvah [a Jewish term for an act of kindness], maybe you can eliminate some of those things," Jackson continued. "You don't think Sterling's done enough mitzvahs to eliminate some of those?"
