Remember that time Phil lost his last NBA game by 36 points to a Texas team?
If Spur fan believes him when he said Kobe was selfish then surely they beleive him when he said their le in 99 was a fluke...
This is why I will miss Phil Jackson he was a real trendsetter...He gave us the official NBA asterisk...to Phil Jackson
Phil on the Spurs first le:
"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."
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 ( ) 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:
Phil Disses Steve Nash:"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 is not happy with Kevin Durant getting to the line: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 on Scrubs getting calls:"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."
More 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."
On playing in Utah:"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."
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:
On the Kings again:"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 la ude 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 Spurs getting favorable calls: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.
Phil will be missed...His complaining netted us the actual calls we deserved..."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."
To Phil

Much harder to do
Hate to bow up in public against the capo, but there's only been 2. Both are extremely hard to do, ing astronomically hard these days. There's nothing to compare them to, they are way the out there, beyond the normal "great coach results" horizon.
Pop's 4 rings puts him way up there over some really great coaches. Doc Rivers got ONE ring, just ONE and needed an all star lineup to get that one, but he's considered to be a good coach by many. Imagine if Doc won 4 with Boston.
That's why it's so shameful that the winningest NBA coach in the history of the game was sent packing with a sweep and 36 inches of German Wurst.
how is it harder to do?
the league only had 8 teams lol
And why are Lakers fans proud?
Jax haqnt won all his 11 les with Lakers
Jeez

Phil is dead on about the 99 season. that season was a complete joke and disgrace. the teams weren't even trying.
Regular season doesn't matter.
Lol Hornettes
Good thread. It shows how much of a whiny little Phil was over the years.
Legendary coach... whiny little . Point taken.
I hear you. The Spurs were just crushing everyone. They weren't even trying tbh.
......so long as YOU remember how the Alamodump was closed just as well.....
..just sayin
Reading that was just like reading a summary of all the things that made Phil a super whiny . Great coach, but wow that's pretty embarassing/classless. Seemed more appropriate to be posted by a Phil hater tbh.
......so long as YOU remember how the Alamodump was closed just as well.....
..just sayin
How would you know, son? Were you living in North Carolina back then?
lol Charlotte Hornets
