Phil Jackson

It's kind of like Michael Jordan.

Eventually, somebody was going to win the six titles with Jordan, and that somebody was Phil Jackson.

But since Dan Campbell just came up, Taylor, Ben Johnson is gone.

He's long gone.

But in watching the end of the Knicks game yesterday, I get it.

I'm not going to, number one, predict that there's going to be a quarterback controversy with J.J. McCarthy and Jackson Dart.

And then in the same show, say that we have to get worried about the Knicks at 0-3.

But I will say, it crossed my mind, Alan, that if that were to get to an 0-4, 0-5, it does start to get like, hey, champs, y'all good?

Oh, Tyrod Taylor.

Okay.

And they made the playoffs that year, and they lost in the wild card to Jacksonville 10-3.

So it would be a little unfair to say that – listen, most of his success, the runs, the championship game, all that, that came because of Josh Allen.

It's kind of like Michael Jordan.

That triangle offense was a great system that fit the players they had.

So that's why they give credit to Phil Jackson.

because he gave them a system for them to play at a high level.

It wasn't like it was five out and Michael Jordan was going one-on-one, and that's why he was the greatest player ever, because he could just one-on-one all the time.

Here's another way and another example of Joe Mazzulla not being up for the job.

I mean, how many times did we say it over the years? You know, because everyone's bringing up Shaq and Kobe now or Jordan and Pippen or Phil Jackson managed those situations.

He understood what it was.

He'd been around the league a long time.

So Phil Jackson had to manage it, and he did.

And eventually, look, it runs out too.

But the fact of the matter is that Jackson made sure it worked, and he kept those guys' egos in check somehow, some way.

And Embiid would win.

Imagine that, Brown, LeBron James, Maxie, and Embiid in Philadelphia.

And what is that going to feel like and taste like if they win the title this year?

Kaka.

I miss when these guys wore suits.

Okay, I love when Phil Jackson used to have the Bigsby and Crothers suit on.

I don't think

they need to wear suits.
