Been telling nikkas this. There is a reason why the Knicks only drafted Euros and 4 year college players, there's a reason Sasha Vujacic had an auto roster spot, and undrafted fringe players like Ron Baker and Marshall Plumlee got roster spots

fukk Phil I'm glad he's gone

For starters his comments on LeBron James and his "posse"...

"The players have been dressing in prison garb the last five or six years. All the stuff that goes on, it's like gangster, thuggery stuff. It's time. It's been time to do that. But one must remember where one came from. I was wearing bib overalls when I was a player one time. But I wasn't going to the games or events in them."
-Phil Jackson on NBA dress code

"Throughout the years the black players on the Knicks have possessed much better physical ability than the white players, being generally faster and better jumpers. I also think that they have always had superior one-on-one talent."

"White players are more often willing to run patterns and to work collectively."

"Because of the predominance of blacks in pro basketball, the sport is rapidly disintegrating into a one-on-one sport. There are only five or six NBA teams who play with more than a superficial degree of team unity."

On the Knicks: "The starting front court played white basketball while guards played black basketball."

"Black kids growing up want to be the superstar of their neighborhood. They want to be the toughest kids on the block, the richest or, once they get to the playground, the best one-on-one basketball players. White kids, on the other hand, usually are raised in a more homogeneous environment which provides other outlets for personal expression. They're also constantly being taught the principle of subordinating their own personal glory for the good of the group."

"The average player's career is a very short period of his life, and the minute he's through nobody knows who is. Twenty-five years from now the only people who will remember me will be a few trivia experts, and that's exactly how it should be. A lot of black players look at their careers differently. Many blacks have let themselves believe that being in the NBA is one of the greatest things a person can accomplish. I believe this type of feeling is ultimately very destructive, because the only way you can live with it is to get into a heavy fantasy trip. I've seen the process develop many times, and very few players ever find happiness that way."

Get mad at me brehs but he stated his opinion. He didn't say anything racist. Yall nikkas are so sensitive and soft. I'm not even a Phil supporter at all but this is fake outrage. He is giving his opinion on the difference between the players he has coached throughout the years.

nikkas call anyone a cac on here who doesn't agree with the popular opinion. I'm not about to pretend to be outraged just for friends on the internet. I ain't built like that. The shyt he said didn't offend me. When Lavar said black players are more athletic than white player's nobody on here was tripping. Now when a CAC makes an observation which is just his punk ass opinion y'all mad? I ain't saying Phil ain't racist but them comments he made weren't racist to me.

Hmm... I've heard people (mostly black) say similar things in regards to black athletes, before so this isn't shocking.

You've heard black people say.

October 1999: "I don't mean to say [that] as a snide remark toward a certain population in our society, but they have a limitation of their attention span, a lot of it probably due to too much rap music going in their ears and coming out their being."

Two things.

1) I don't think you understand the demographics of the site you're posting on.

2) Difference between Phil Jackson and lavar ball, is scientific proof. There's no peer reviewed study that says black players are trying to be " kings of their neighborhoods ", or black people have lower attention spans than whites who occupy the same environment.

However

There are peer reviewed studies that show that white people are physically inferior in comparison to black Americans.

One is a societal generalization, the other is scientific fact.
