:lol If Spur fan believes him when he said Kobe was selfish then surely they beleive him when he said their title in 99 was a fluke...:lol
This is why I will miss Phil Jackson he was a real trendsetter...He gave us the official NBA asterisk...to Phil Jackson :toast
Phil on the Spurs first title:
"I know it's added onto their list, but anybody who was around basketball in '99 knows it was entirely an aberration," Jackson said. "Not that they don't deserve it. They won the pack and they came out of that heap, but that's an asterisk. That's kind of a weird situation that sits over there."
After he made jokes about gays he apologized by saying this:
It was a poor attempt at humor and I deserve to be reprimanded by the NBA. If I've offended any horses, Texans, cowboys, or gays I apologize." :lol
Phil Disses Mark Cuban
"I know that Mark likes to prick the skin of people, but he's not a player. He just sits behind the bench with his sun-tanned face and tries to make comments like that," Jackson said Thursday. "He's got nothing to do with it. I know that he's provided a great roster that's almost as good as money can buy … but not quite."
Phil Jackson on Lebron throwing chalk in the air before games:
Speaking about James' home-court advantage with the fans (and then the referees) in Cleveland, Jackson said: "They all wear No. 23 and help him throw that (shit) up in the air when he's at the scorer's desk. He gets away with murder, on top of it, on his home court."
Phil on the Heats style of play: :lol
"Their basketball is very much in standing with Xbox games, or whatever those games are when you play one-on-one," Jackson said.
"Basketball is not a one-on-one game. It's a team game."
Phil Disses Steve Nash: :lol
Prior to the Los Angeles Lakers' 128-107 victory over the Phoenix Suns in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals on Monday, Jackson was asked about preparing for Suns guard Steve Nash's frenetic playing style. The Lakers coach responded by making a basketball palming gesture and stating, "yeah, because you can't carry the ball like he does in practice. You can't pick up the ball and run with it."Phil is not happy with Kevin Durant getting to the line:
"As far as the calls that he gets on the floor, I think a lot of the referees are treating [Durant] like a superstar; he gets to the line easy and often. He's got the ability to create fouls. That's a big part of scoring, to get to the foul line."
Phil on Scrubs getting calls:
"Leon Powe [got] more foul shots than our whole team does in 14 minutes of play. That's ridiculous. I've never seen a game like that in all these years I've coached in the Finals. Unbelievable."More Scrubs getting calls:
"This was Munich in '72 revisited ... I don't know if I'll be able to watch the last 10 minutes of this game without calling Rod Thorn ... I call it eight men on defense. The refs were killing us."On playing in Utah:
Asked what makes it difficult to play in Salt Lake City, he said, "I enumerated some of the things a couple of years ago; I was fined $50,000. So that's some of it." What was Jackson talking about?
1) a 2004 comment that referee Bob Delaney was "prejudiced against Shaq" after O'Neal was ejected in a loss;
2) a 2006 comment about the Jazz's "roughhouse" play, with Jackson noting that Utah "intimidates referees that go on there" and that if the Lakers could get the Utah mascot "to stop blowing exhaust from the motorcycle in front of our bench for the first two minutes of the warm-ups -- you know, after they gas us -- it's not so bad."
After a western conference finals game in 2002:
"Coming out and discussing last night's game with you, after watching videotape of the game, is a difficult task." [Chris] Webber flailing around and hitting guys in the face and head should just not be allowed .
"You've got to give some latitude to referees being in an environment like that. It's always a question, as to what type of a group you send to a situation like Sacramento, where it's a bandbox, where there are intense pressures. I'm sure we're going to see a stronger crew in L.A. ... But those are things you question as a coach about referees. ... You can't throw aspersions to the way the game was refereed. "On the Kings again:
Claimed the Kings were using sagging, illegal defenses to limit O'Neal, who scored 46 points in Game 1 but averaged half that in the next three games; after specifically reviewing Game 4 film, said Sacramento had played illegal defense "10 times" in first half of that game.On the Spurs getting favorable calls:
"The difference in the game was obviously the foul shots. That's ridiculous in a game as hotly contested as that ... Tim Duncan had more free throws than my team? I know it was his MVP night, but that's ridiculous."Phil will be missed...His complaining netted us the actual calls we deserved...
