The Genius of Jackson Transcends Basketball
Phil Jackson has taken much criticism over the last couple of months for not doing enough to fix the Shaq-versus-Kobe situation. Many fans have blamed Phil for the Lakers’ uninspired play.
Well, let me tell you something! Getting Gary Sheffield to demand a trade and to make stupid statements is pure “Phil genius.” It made everyone finally realize that the biggest baby in L.A. wears Dodger blue, not purple and gold.
It’s no coincidence that the Lakers are now playing the best basketball of the season. Pure “Phil genius.” Never underestimate the power of Zen!
