Title: Phil Jackson's top athlete
Post by: Elano on August 28, 2008, 08:30:32 AM
The Lakers' mentor says the greatest athlete he ever coached wasn't Kobe, Jordan, or Shaq

Phil Jackson sure had plenty to say during a speech to the University of North Dakota as part of the convocation in which he received an honorary degree. Of the course of an hour, P-Jax criticized his school's nickname, told funny stories about Shaq swimming, and picked Dennis Rodman as the greatest athlete he ever coached. From the OC Register: "[Rodman] could probably play a 48-minute game and play the 48th minute stronger than the first minute of the game," Jackson told the crowd at UND. "He was that terrific an athlete."

Phil is such an attention whore. He likes to say off the wall things in order to get the spotlight.

On a side note, Rodman WAS a great athlete. No doubt. But this shit is typical Phil Jackson.

What's wrong with that? Rodman was a 6'8 pf who dominated guys way bigger than him. I don't think I've ever seen another player guard every single position so well.

not funny... Dennis wasn't homosexual by the way... all he was trying to say was that he didn't deny that he had "thought" about it, and that he felt a lot of men had "thought" about it, but were too macho to admit. 

Most athletes just try to be politically correct when dealing with the media, but Dennis displayed his flaws and eccentricities.  He was in the back of his pickup truck one night while he was still playing for the Detroit Pistons and he was ready to kill himself.  He had the gun in hand and everything.  And then he said he did kill himself.  That he killed the Dennis everyone wanted him to be, and he decided that if he wasn't going to start being himself than it wasn't worth living at all.

Is that the only way you think?  Like, "ohhh he's cool, he's not a homo cause he banged Carmen Electra, so he gets props from me... but if not for that, he's just faggot who rebounded well".  Is that how limited your thinking is?

This is a good thread. Thanks Infinite. Dennis Rodman was an amazing athlete, I'm not surprised with his choice at all. Some of you are too young to remember the player Rodman actually was and just remember the negative portrayal.

I agree, that negro loving whore is going to burn in hell for engaging in relations with a goddammned spear chucker.  Whatever happened to beautiful WCL.... White Christian Love ?
