More on: Avery Johnson, milk, ad, Josh Howard, Mavericks (all tags)

It sure looks like Mavericks coach Avery Johnson was drinking his milk over the summer. Why do we say that? Well, (A) he shot up from 5-foot-11-inches to well over the head of 6-foot-5-inch Josh Howard. (B) Because he's standing on a milk crate and there's no milk in it. (C) He's got the evidence all over his face and (D) the ad tells us so.

Coaching my team to the top was a tall order. Good thing milk was my #1 pick. Some studies suggest the protein helps build muscle, plus teens who choose it instead of sugary drinks tend to be leaner. Like I tell my guys: If you want to keep breaking records, keep hitting the glass.

We know that Johnson is from Louisiana and he can be difficult to understand at times (even when reading quotes), but the milk dudes did not just make him say "Coaching my team to the top was a tall order," did they?

Maybe we're being a little picky here, but they do know that Avery's Mavericks committed two of the biggest choke jobs in NBA postseason history over the last couple of years, right?
