Did Wiggy say he'd be the first one to criticize Lebron if it was warranted? How have I not picked that shit apart?

Fuck I'm slipping. @ChiefsLakers67 where were you on that one, man?

Well, to be fair, he would be. Lebron just hasn't done anything that warrants it.

But rest assured, as soon as he does, Wiggy will be all over that shit.:rolleyes2:

Probably like Penn St. fans saying that if Joe Pa ever did anything wrong that they'd jump on him faster than Sandusky in an elem..........you get the idea.

Let's face it - LeBron is a retard. No one in their right mind would take Jackson's comments racially. It's been widely speculated that LeBron has often received special treatment. From receiving illegal police escorts to asking the Heat to provide his posse with tickets behind the bench. LeBron is a great player, no one is denying this but he's an idiot. Why didn't Jackson say "LeBron is like MJ and Kobe, you know, those black guys have to have their posses".

Lebron's not an idiot. He's deflecting as the Phil Jackson comments shine a spotlight on his crew (YOU SAID THE BAD WORD!!!!!) and what the perception about them around the league is.

No, he's an idiot.

pos·se
/ˈpäsē/

noun noun: posse, plural noun: posses

  • 1. a body of men, typically armed, summoned by a sheriff to enforce the law.
  • ▪ the body of men in a county whom the sheriff could summon to enforce the law.
  • ▪ a group of people who have a common characteristic, occupation, or purpose: informal "he pompously led around a posse of medical students" synonyms: gang, band, group, crowd, pack, ... more
  • ▪ a group of people who socialize together, especially to go to clubs or raves. informal
Word Origin mid 17th century: from medieval Latin, literally ‘power,’ from Latin posse ‘be able.’

How could Phil be so fucking disrespectful? You know what, LBJ has changed my mind. I think Phil Jackson is a racist asshole now.

He's reaching and trying to deflect. I've never heard the term posse used negatively as has been mentioned before. The whole situation shine lights on Lebron negatively. He may come across as an overly sensitive little bitch, but he knows what he's doing.

im just saying- the mind games arent worth much when you dont have talent- or cant collect talent- like the GM is charged to do-

and hey- thats cool if Phil wants to run his mouth---- If Phil was in 1st place and the interview was a happy cheery one lauding how great he is and his ego was soothed he isnt even mentioning LeBron- but- his team sucks- he has done a poor job - and he doesnt look like the genius or the franchise saivor- so he decides to run his mouth. Its cool- just dont be surprised when someone hits you back. Especially when you add context to the interview with the excerpt from his book.


Phil is in 1st place Wiggs. He's got 10+ rings

White guy Tom Brady goes to the Derby "with his Posse" on a jet -- it's cool/gangsta
Black guy Lebronda "stays in Cleveland 1 extra night with his posse" -- it's racist



Can some black person explain to me why so many black people are angry and feel the need to shout "racist" over any little thing they can find?

he used to be.

since he has taken over as GM of the Knicks- he has done a pretty piss-poor job- he is getting paid a lot of money to hire bad coaches, try and force systems on players that dont want to play the triangle, and sign guys like Joakim Noah to long term huge contracts who are well passed their primes.

The only good thing he has done is draft Porzingis- and after Towns, Russell and Okafor went- its not like Porzingis wasnt considered a good and reasonable choice at that point in the draft.

I think his ego is a little bruised as he has always won- (and of course has always had elite talent)....

obviously one of- if not the greatest coach of all time.

in his current capacity? appears to be piss-poor and that aura surrounding him is being damaged. I bet he quits before the end of his contract and leaves the Knicks a mess.

He can suck in NYC all he wants and he's still going to have more rings and more 3-peats than Cleveland can ever dream of.

Rings > Ego


And I wouldn't call Carmelo a staple for a franchise at all. He's the poster boy for a selfish player and doesn't play D. Totally opposite of how Phil won all those rings.

oh no doubt about it....without a doubt one of, if not the best coach of all time...

as a GM? pretty piss-poor. The most surprising thing about his piss-poor performance is his inability to adjust- which I always thought was one of his strengths.

I mean- hiring Fisher and instituting the tri-angle was an unabashed disaster. Get with the times.

Its still early- but doubling down on trying to compete right away by giving a Joakin Noah with thousands of Thibs miles on his odometer a humongous contract, and trading for the shell of Derek Rose does not seem to be working either.

He just gave away Jr Smith and Iman Shumpert for basically nothing to the Cavs- that was cool. Seriously- nothing.

as i said- i wouldnt be surprised if he just quits before his contract runs out and leaves the mess he has presided over to the next guy to clean up.

And Jordan's not a great owner... Doesn't mean because Phil hasn't been great as a GM, his credibility is gone. He still has a high bball IQ. It is a steady paycheck and I'm sure he's trying to figure it out. Everyone called him crazy for drafting Porzingis.

I would love to know how he could do without Carmelo. Why hasn't any big time names gone to NYC to team up with Carmelo? Phil sure as hell doesn't have a Lebron to put people around.

As far as coaches or players out there to bring in.. Who's available? Not alot to choose from these days. Noah was brought in to rebound and play D. D Rose all you can do is hope.

Weak era got weaker when Kobe and Duncan retired.

The last of a dying breed.

PLEASE let a non-colluding competitive star come along to save us.

A non-colluding competitive star, how about Kevin Durant? Wait a minute...that doesn't work. He joined a team that are the 2x defending conference champs, that have the 2x League MVP & already had 3 All Stars before he joined them.:nod:
