This is probably the wildest shit I've ever read.
“Phil used that movie in game sessions, in the Shaq and Kobe era, when they were playing the Sacramento Kings,” Torry recalled.
“Just to get them really pissed off?” Lurch asked.
“Yea, because they had, remember Jason Williams, the white point guard, looked like Ed Norton?” Torry said. “And then Adelman kinda looked like Hitler.”
“He looked like Hitler?” JP asked.
“Well, you know, he had that little mustache, and he had that hair,” Torry said.
“That’s not very Zen-like of Phil,” Cakes said.
“Yes it is, because what happened was, during game study, he would have Jason Williams come down the court and then do a clip of Ed Norton from American History X, and then have Adelman on the sideline with his arms folded, and then a picture of Hitler,” Torry said. “So the players said, when they took the court, that’s all they could remember, because those were some tough battles in those years with the Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles Lakers. And so, it was very Zen-like, to be honest, because they took that on the court with them.”

That's actually legit psychopath behavior.
