Backhanded compliments. Basically said that Popovich's system is good because it's like the triangle offense.

...which he stole from Tex Winter...

it's so true, I think it has something to do with seeing the light at the end of the tunnel..

In Phil's case, I hope it's a train.

I didn't see any compliments in that article

Overrated jerkoff, who cares? Lets see him coach the Bobcats, then we will see how good he is.

I don't know who was next to come after Dave but Jax was looking relefed afrter he got a five from the next guy. His face was like - hmm I've got some friends in this league.
Besides IIRC earlier in the ASGs there wer no coaches standing and recieving fives.

Spurs fans still getting trolled by PJ.

Pop is a better tactician. Phil is a psychiatrist of egos. But in the end he couln't stop Shaq from leaving. He's lucky to be at the right place at the right time. He's Forrest Gump. And the media is giving him too much credit.

Simply Priceless:

Haha this is gold. Definitely on purpose too because you can see the Admiral glance in his direction before looking away followed by Phil Jackson speaking to him.
