Phil Jackson

If this Lakers’ season were a new movie, what would you call it? “Escape Plan?” Oh, wait D-12 already did that. “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2?” Or maybe “Prisoners,” to describe the Lakers fans and perhaps Bryant, himself. As the Lakers prepare to start the 2013-2014 season without veteran 5-time NBA champion and [...]

Things aren’t always what they seem. Jim Buss is criticized to no end for the job he’s done with the Los Angeles Lakers, his greatest flaw seemingly being that he’s not his father, Dr. Jerry Buss. Compounded by his father’s death, Los Angeles’ sub-par season and a failure to retain Dwight Howard, Jim’s reputation is [...]

There’s still no escaping the Dwightmare. Dwight Howard has already chosen to play for the Houston Rockets, and Kobe Bryant continues to bleed Los Angeles Lakers purple and gold, but the two continue to dance around and toward each other. Speaking with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith about his decision to spurn Los Angeles in favor [...]

Well, you can’t say you saw this one coming. The Brooklyn Nets will not be bringing back P.J. Carlesimo to coach the team next season, which means they’ll have to seek out their third head coach in the last year. Could Jerry Sloan be that coach? Deron Williams won’t rule it out (via Stefan Bondy [...]

Phil Jackson is back in the NBA. Sort of. According to Keith Langlois of NBA.com, Jackson has agreed to advise the Detroit Pistons on their latest head-coaching search: Tom Gores’ vow to use every available resource to restore the Pistons to greatness has led him to Phil Jackson, who has agreed to serve in an [...]

Quick answer is ‘No’. Oh, I’m sorry. Let me ask the question first. Do the Cleveland Cavaliers have a shot at landing Phil Jackson? No. There we go. After firing Byron Scott, the Cavs are on the prowl for a new coach, a search that has led them to none other than the Zen Master [...]
