Former Chicago Bulls players as “Fast & Furious” characters
By Luke Askew
Phil Jackson = Tej Parker
Never in my life did I think I would be comparing Phil Jackson to a movie character portrayed by Ludacris, but here I am.
I know what you’re thinking. Jackson was never a player for the Chicago Bulls. He still deserves a spot on this weird list, though.
In the “Fast & Furious” movies, Tej is the tech guy. He’s the one behind the scenes pulling all the strings and making sure things go smoothly. He’s one of the only main characters that you rarely see get behind the wheel of a car. Without his savvy skills, though, the team would’ve been in serious trouble over and over again.
The same can be said about Phil Jackson.
Jackson was known as The Zen Master. He knew how to unlock the best out of everyone on the team. Just like Tej, he was the guy pulling the strings and making sure everything was going smoothly. He’s not the flashiest member of the group, but he’s one of the most important.
