Stop being dense, it's not about being a Christian. The 99 knicks used to do the same shyt after games, Allan Houston and Charlie Ward were as devout as you can get, but Mark Jackson is on some other shyt, he considers himself a pastor and a preacher.



If you're not a Christian are you going to be comfortable with this guy as your coach? I know I wouldn't.

He clearly alienated Bogut and perhaps others.

Doc has it right :tu:

Long before head coach Doc Rivers found himself defending his Los Angeles Clippers players who were the unwelcome participants in team owner Donald Sterling’s racist comments all week, he was concerned about another sensitive subject: religion.

It was late 1999, the start of Rivers’ first season as coach of the Orlando Magic, and he saw a situation in the locker room that he felt needed to be addressed.

As his players took part in the pregame prayer that was part of their routine, Rivers noticed something he didn’t like.

“I looked up in one of the prayers, and Tariq (Abdul-Wahad) had his arms folded, and you could see that he was really uncomfortable with it,” Rivers said. “So the next game, we were standing up in a circle, and I said, ‘Hey guys, we’re no longer praying.’”

Rivers calls himself a “very religious” man, having grown up in the Second Baptist Church in Maywood, Ill., and praying on his knees every night in his home to this day. But he prefers to practice privately and is quick to note that he has attended church only for funerals the past 15 years.

So, that day, he decided his teams would keep their religious practices private as well.

“We’re no longer praying,” Rivers recalled saying to his team. “I want to take a minute. Everybody close their eyes. We all can have different religions, we have different Gods, we can just take a minute to compose. If you guys want to pray individually, you can do it. If you want to meditate, do whatever you want.

“Then, after that game,Tariq Abdul-Wahad walks in to me, gives me a hug with his eyes tearing, and said: ‘Thank you. That is so important to me. No one has ever respected my (Muslim) religion.’ He said, ‘I’m going to give you everything I’ve got.’”

I'm Christian and the zealous ones I don't mind if they mean well and are not self-centered x inconsiderate.

I don't know enough about Mark Jackson to know if he was self-centered and inconsiderate, but these are VERY dangerous traits no matter if its a Jew or gentile and I would avoid these types if you know like I know.

People mistake being devout with being self-centered and inconsiderate, its not the same thing. We Christians are very mindful of the bad apples.

Like I said before I don't know enough about Mark Jackson to say what kind of believer he is since I never met him.
