In the commercial with Whoopie Goldberg and Jessie James, who is the really tall guy in the middle?

Phil Jackson. I don't know a lot about sports but it seems he is a basketball coach.

If I'm thinking of the right ad, it's Phil Jackson, the current coach of the Lakers (who coached the Bulls back when Jordan played for them).

ETA - loveWDWalways beat me to it!

THANK YOU! That has been driving me nuts! I knew that I sort of recognized him, but just had no idea why. I am from Illinois so I must be remembering him from his Bulls days.

And dang, he is tall! Or Whoopie and Jessie are really short!

Have you seen the movie "Eddie," with Whoopi and Frank Langella? Whoopi coaches the Knicks and to see her around those ginormous basketball guys is funny! I recommend the movie.

yep, phil jackson. lakers coach and former bulls coach. and just another bit of trivia: the song in the commercial is "if you want to sing out, sing out" by cat stevens.
