He gets fined all the time. And the fact that Durant took notice enough to respond to those comments, means it affected him somewhat.
i cant believe how much this guy complains about officiating and catches no heat for it.

Phil is the most successful troll in NBA history. In a bunch of different ways.
For those that have responded to my post with reminders that there were great players on those ten teams, you missed the point.
My post was in direct response to the one above it. A post which dismisses all of Jackson's public remarks of the last two decades as mere whining.
That's one possible conclusion.
Other possibilities exist.
Over the course of ten championship runs, there were several series that were influenced by judgment calls made by the officials. Are you all so sure that Phil's public comments never played a part in calls going the way of his teams?
he won the scoring le wtf!?!??! i knew he was top 4 but damn!anyone who seriously thinks that someone who just won the scoring le and carried the youngest team in the league to 50 wins at the age of 21 can get flustered this easily.
And mogro is right, all real men have some sense of pride and self-respect. None of the refs in that series want to turn on ESPN and hear about how Phil Jackson mind ed them and made them his . If I were a ref, my at ude would be, "Phil Jackson wants to about how I'm not doing my job up to his standards? Fine. I'll send Durant to the line 20 times. Now Phil really has something to about."
A chimpanzee could have coached the Bulls to 6 championships, and could have won any of the 4 les Phil won in LA. A halfway decent coach would have won 4-5 les with the Shaq/Kobe Lakers, and never would have let Boston go all 131-92 on them.
Hypothetical - You have two teams that are perfectly even in every way. No advantages whatsoever on the court. The only way to win the game is to outcoach the other guy. You have to pick one coach to win one game in this scenario.
How far down the list do you go before you finally get to Phil Jackson?
Off the top of my head and in no particular order
1. Larry Brown
2. Chuck Daly
3. Jerry Sloan
4. Stan Van Gundy
5. Lenny Wilkins
6. Scott Brooks
7. Pat Riley
8. Gregg Popovich
9. Red Auerbach
10. Rick Carlisle
11. Don Nelson
12. Jack Ramsay
Durant is basketball Jesus!
I like Duran Duran
You posed the question.
Tell us which coaches you would choose ahead of Jackson.
Phil Jackson is a bag. The guy seems like the most unhappy piece of walking, but he has had a career handed to him thanks to a bunch of great players. Just shut the up and be cool to people. When you are supposed to do an interview, do it without acting like an asshole. You have had the easiest job in the NBA for over 2 decades
I already listed 12 off the top of my head, and after doing some research, I can honestly say there's probably about 50 head coaches in history I'd take over Phil Jackson.
tbh in a one game scenario I'd take Avery Johnson any day over Phil Jackson.
Motta
Del Harris
Larry Bird
Hubie Brown
Mike Dantoni
Rick Adelman
Nate McMillan
Rudy T
Jeff Van Gundy
Like I said, most successful troll in NBA history.
Durant's response was pure genius. He gave the league and officials respect and put himself in a better light above the pettiness of Phil's comments. If I'm an official reading that response I would be more inclined to give Durant more calls
That kid should be a politician.
lol riding hall of famers to 10 rings. Let's see jackson do what adelman did with the rockets this season, or even coach a young team like the Bucks
Never happen.
You just made Mike Brown cry.
Phil's strength isn't Xs and Os... he admits as much. Good thing that isn't primarily what wins championships in the NBA.
Durant should have a one word response:
"Whatever."
Jackson is an egoist. Give him indifference and focus on the game.
LOL @ ya'll who say PHil never takes heat for his comments. He is probably the most fined coach of all time. He has already been fined 35k for this comment.
Wasnt he just fined 35k last week too?
Yup,that's just Phil.
Remember when Phil made the brokeback mountain comments and every1 got all butthurt. He just likes shaking a tree
