If you were one of the millions who followed Brett Edwards' FanHouse live blog, you'll remember Phil Jackson's marvelous Chris Mihm Experience in Game 5's second quarter was well-received by Lakers fans. According to the Orange County Register's Kevin Ding, even the celeb fans loved it!Actor Denzel Washington, usually the picture of cool in his courtside seat at Lakers games, stood up Sunday night in the second quarter when no one near him was up or saying a word. With urgency that was no act, he yelled across the court toward the Lakers' bench after Chris Mihm air-balled a hook shot: "Phil!"What's better, that Denzel -- who starred in one of the better 90s movies with a real live NBA player, no offense to Shazam -- felt the need to talk a nine-ringed coach off the ledge, or that he does so by screaming out said coach's first name only, with no further instruction or qualifications? I can't decide. Poor Mihm. I guarantee he didn't ask to go in the game.
