Phil was lucky.
Never played a team with an all-star level Tony Parker and Ginobili during his threepeat.
Why do you seem suprised PJ said something negative about the Spurs/Pop. He's always trying to make them look bad.
Think about it, he hates the Spurs and/or Pop. Everybody is always raving about the best run organization that starts with Pop. He has Head Coaches, assistants and GM's all over the league that are directly related to Pop/Spurs. He's freaking hates that.
No he played on a team with an all star level Stockton/Malone...
Oh and Gino and Tony are going to need to play at that level against the hornets.
Mind games... It was good coaching.
He may not criticize other coaches in the media, but he certainly has no problem trashing GM's and other teams as a whole.
"What they did in Memphis is beyond comprehension," Popovich told SI.com. "There should be a trade committee that can scratch all trades that make no sense. I just wish I had been on a trade committee that oversees NBA trades. I would have voted no to the L.A. trade."
Phil's legacy can certainly be attributed to not having to face as talented a Spurs team as it is now.
I would wish you actually think a little before posting anything.
I don't agree with Phil because of what he said: "i know some will say i've done it too but it was always on the ball fouls not away from the ball..."
What's the ing difference????? you wait until the big guy has the ball under the rim and hit him hard so he can't score. Then it becomes 2 FTs.
So essentially it's exactly the same - just trying to fly under the radar.
If there's a coach who has an ego bigger than himself thats Phil Jackson. Only has been able to win anything with big time players in his teams. That's all. He talks too much and he takes himself for granted 9 out of 10 times.
He's stating the obvious and what everyone else thinks. And this is one case only. Phil is an asshole all the time.
Are you saying the Heat were the best team in 06? Laugh.

He can pretty much say anything...he's rich...he's got the rings..he has the boss's daughter..
Having said that, F u Phil. I can say whatever I want too.
Spurs fan is jealous of Phil Jackson. They wish their coach wasn't an ugly acne ridden control freak with zero personality.
Yea, you just proved my point.
Not one of those teams are as good as us, which is exactly why they won nothing. Nada. Zip.
Refs won that for you.
If being an asshole is considered personality then I'm glad Pop doesn't have one.They wish their coach wasn't an ugly acne ridden control freak with zero personality.
It's all about gamesmanship. Pop likes to do it on the court (including intentionally fouling a ty free throw shooter) and Phil likes to do it off the court. Nothing new, and Phil's strategy is not better or holier than Pop's: it's all a game.
Coaches who comment (negatively) on the coaching performances of their colleagues show a tremendous lack of class and respect. But I guess that doesn't really matter to Lakers fans since they focus on the really important things, like the way a coach looks or whether or not he has "personality."
Well, in their defense, it's LA after all.But I guess that doesn't really matter to Lakers fans since they focus on the really important things, like the way a coach looks or whether or not he has "personality."
mj was greater then stockton and malone combined
Those are your best examples??
I have met Pop several times, and he is a genuine nice man, and always makes me and everyone around him laugh.
I guess it all depends on where you are coming from, but I bet if you approached Phil he would laugh at you, and you out for trying to talk to him.
I don't think the Spurs did it just to get a win. I think they did it to embarass a classless opponent, and I love it. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of losers.
On a mildly unrelated note, the best quote from Phil Jackson happened today.
Tony K: When Mitch Kupchak came to you and said "I can get Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown," What did you say to that?
Phil: "No, you can't."
Opinions are like a$$holes.
Everybody has one, and they all stink.
Even Phil Jackson.
Really though, its all a matter of opinion. It always makes me chuckle to see how hyped and aggrivated people around the league/fans get anytime phil jackson says anything regarding the Spurs.
Who CARES.
Oh and for the record. The spurs team is better than the Laker team this year. However, Phil is the better coach.
That remains to be seen.
Possibly.However, Phil is the better coach.
