The NBA Draft is right around the corner (June 26)
Lets talk draft....

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I wonder if Negro's coaching will screw over Rose during the season.

I wonder if Negro's coaching will screw over Rose during the season.

Just because he was an assistant coach with no head coaching experience doesn't mean they're gonna fuck everything up...Phil Jackson was the assistant coach of the bulls before he took them to 6 titles including 3 for the lakers....

Except he wasn't an assistant coach. He was assistant GM.

Wrong...He was hired as an assistant coach in 1987 only to become the head coach in 1989....

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Are you a retard? He was playing for Sacramento at that time.
Nothing that worked out for Jackson will guarantee production for Negro.
FAIL.

Ha ha hahaha your dumbest quote yet.....

After averaging 19.9 points a game in three seasons at the University of North Dakota, the 6-foot-8, 230-pound Phil Jackson became a hard-working journeyman NBA player, joining the New York Knicks in 1967 as a second-round draft choice.

Phil Jackson missed the entire 1969-70 season with an injury and was traded in 1978 to the New Jersey Nets, where Phil Jackson became a player and assistant coach. Phil Jackson retired in 1980, remained as an assistant coach for a season, then became a broadcaster for the team.

From 1982 through the 1986-87 season, Jackson coached the Albany team in the Continental Basketball Association, then returned to the NBA as an assistant coach with the Chicago Bulls in 1987. Phil Jackson became head coach in 1989.

After a second-place division finish in 1989-90, Phil Jackson guided the Bulls to three consecutive NBA championships, the first time that had been accomplished since 1966.

Superstar Michael Jordan retired after the 1992-93 season, and the Bulls finished out of the running for the next two years. But Jordan returned in 1994 and the Bulls once again won three straight NBA championships.

Then Jordan retired once more and Phil Jackson retired along with him. After a year of retirement, though, Phil Jackson returned to coaching with the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2000-2001. The Lakers were a talented but troubled team, led by center Shaquille O'Neal and guard Kobe Bryant, who had joined them in 1996, directly out of high school.

Phil Jackson gave the Lakers a new focus on team defense, and they responded by winning three straight NBA titles in his first three seasons guiding the team. Phil Jackson's the only coach ever to take two different teams to three consecutive championships, and his total of nine titles ties him with Red Auerbach for the all-time lead.

The Lakers finished second in the Pacific Division, nine games behind the Sacramento Kings, in 2002-03 and lost to the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals. The following season, they added veterans Karl Malone and Gary Payton, won the Pacific Division, and reach the NBA championship finals, but were defeated in five games by the Detroit Pistons.

Talks about a contract extension with the Lakers had bogged down well before the playoffs and Phil Jackson declined an offer to become a vice-president of the team. Phil Jackson said that Phil Jackson doubted Phil Jackson would coach in the NBA again. "I wouldn't rule it out," Phil Jackson said, "but I don't anticipate I will."

Phil Jackson has been called a "New Age" coach because of his unorthodox methods, which draw on both Zen Buddhism and an approach to motivation that includes assigning specific books to individual players and showing the team his own edited versions of movies.

Some critics haved suggested that Phil Jackson owes most of his success to players such as Jordan and Scottie Pippen in Chicago, O'Neal and Bryant in Los Angeles. Admirers counter that none of those players ever played for a championship team that Phil Jackson didn't coach.

Phil Jackson's career NBA record stands at 832 wins and 316 losses during the regular season, 171-67 in the playoffs. His winning percentages of .724 and .718, respectively, are both records.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

We're talking about Negro here you retard.
Jackson doesn't = Negro.

[Tacker]

read posts 3 and 4

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Yea, Negro wasn't an assistant coach. He was an assistant GM.
Asst. GM doesn't = Asst. coach.

big boo's for galinari

go Knicks haha

[DazedAndConfused]

:LMAO

The hurt just keeps on coming for Knicks fans. This guy is the second coming of Bargnani. What a waste of a draft pick.

[JamStone]

Stuey said the Knicks haven't been in the post season in 7 seasons...

...forgot about 2003-04 season I guess.

[DazedAndConfused]

These Knick fans are just brutal.......I love it. Anyone hear that dude yell out "HE'S GAYYY!!!" to Eric Gordon?

[Vinnie_Johnson]

The Knicks just took the Italian Darko. Also nice job Clippers that's why you guys always suck.

[DazedAndConfused]

Rest assured Gordon will become a bonafide All-Star the second he leaves the Clippers.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Rest assured Gordon will become a bonafide All-Star the second he leaves the Clippers.

Just like The Candy Man and other great picks they have made.

[manufor3]

come on pick bayless or b. lopez!

[JamStone]

Rest assured Gordon will become a bonafide All-Star the second he leaves the Clippers.

Just like Danny Manning, Lamond Murray, and Lorenzen Wright.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

come on pick bayless or b. lopez!

They won't screw it up. Larry will take one of those guys.

[Kriz-Maxima]

They won't screw it up. Larry will take one of those guys.


Nope.

[kingsfan]

Kings not getting DJ, it's got to be Chalmers for us.

[kingsfan]

I can't believe Lopez is still out there.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

how tall is he 5-9? Who is going to play point?

[kingsfan]

We could still get Bayless. Don't fuck it up for us pacers.

[kingsfan]

Fuck, how did I know we wouldn't get that lucky :bang

[Vinnie_Johnson]

We could still get Bayless. Don't fuck it up for us pacers.

Oh Pacers screwed you.

[kingsfan]

Now I'm nervous, don't fuck it up GP!

[kingsfan]

Who the fuck is Jason Thompson?

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Oh Boy The Kings reached bad. They had him going late first.

[IronMexican]

Now I'm nervous, don't fuck it up GP!

i never heard of this guy thompson.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Who the fuck is Jason Thompson?

He will be solid just not where you took him could have traded down.

[Kriz-Maxima]

I guess the Pistons can no longer consider him for the 29th pick. A little surprise there from Sacramento.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Just pushed another good player down. :toast

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Rush will be a good player.

[kingsfan]

We need a PF and he can rebound from what I just read but dammit we could have done better.

[DazedAndConfused]

Blazers get even more stacked.

Surprised at the lack of trades, that's my favorite part of the draft.

[DazedAndConfused]

The Blazers will send the rights to Rush and Jarrett Jack to the Pacers for the rights to Bayless and Ike Diogu. I think this is a great pick for the Pacers. Rush should be a great fit in the backcourt with T.J. Ford because he defends, shoots the ball and has great size in the backcourt. Rush is one of the most NBA-ready players in the draft.

[JamStone]

Dick Vitale must have been molested by Vlade Divac and Arvydas Sabonis years ago.

[KidCongo]

Source?

[JamStone]

Robin, tell us how Shaq's ass tastes.

[Banzai]

Blazers=scary

[DazedAndConfused]

For fuck sakes why does the NBA mandate these kids go to college for a yr? They clearly haven't learned a fucking thing.

[KidCongo]

Pritchard is a genius

[Banzai]

Bayless a blazer now...hmmm Lakers lineup wont cut it next season...Luke still on the roster..space cadet vlad...and Mihm who hasn't done much since his injury

[JamStone]

poor Darrell Arthur

[KidCongo]

J.J Hickson?

[DANILO DRASKOVIC]

does CDR have a dirty coke habit?
Why the hell has no one drafted him yet?

[DANILO DRASKOVIC]

The Knicks just took the Italian Darko.

Darko wasnt getting 15 a game in Euroleage play
