As the Lakers prepare for their Game 7 showdown with the Houston Rockets Sunday, their coach is using some unique motivational tools to mentally inspire his club. The Daily News reports Jackson showed the team a compilation of video clips from Michael Jordan’s years with the Chicago Bulls. Jordan Farmar told the media “He just said we have to go out there and make things happen.” Hopefully for the Lakers’ sake, they will have a different outcome than in Game 6.
