Leon Powe (or Pow)- another good move by Danny Ainge

"Pow? Pow?". After The Boston Celtics had just defeated his Lakers team in game 2 of the 2008 NBA finals, Coach Phil Jackson was ridiculing and belittling Leon Powe (pronounced Poe), the Boston backup that had so much to do with the Celts win. The mispronunciation was intentional and so was the question-like inflection. In effect, Jackson was saying, "Who the hell is this guy to play like that against my team?" Allow me to introduce you to him, Phile- or is it Phil: (via Wikipedia):

Leon Powe, a second year bench player, scored 21 points on 6–7 shooting from the field and 9–13 from the line in 15 minutes of play, including back-to-back dunks in the last minute of the 3rd quarter.
