Phil one two rings with Coach Holzman. Holzman and Auerbach did not like each other, so this might be a bit sweet to Phil to do this in memory of his mentor Holzman.

Our legacy knick team was know for its brains as much for its talent. Phil was a cerebral member of the team who was a key role player in his championship years.

It is one of our franchise failures to not get this guy in the fold early on.

Reed took him to New Jersey with him and after stints in the CBA and winning there, he got his shot with the bulls.

Phil had mike and pip but that team was done over. And he won.

He won with young Kobe and shaq, and won again with basically Kobe, Fischer, Walton and a whole new team.

Make no mistake about it, great coaches have great players. Red Auerbach had great players. Riley had great players. You don't win without them.

Phil stands square shoulders above the rest! Congradulations!

Phil's mentor was Red Holzman! I think Red would be proud of him!

Everyone who ever played for Holzman always speaks of him with the highest respect.

Phil is the best there is. No doubt about it. He just knows how to reach his players and sure it helps to have top notch players on the team. What makes Phil so great is that he never panics there is always that confidence in his team and in the system.

Phil coaches with no fear, which is how a life should be led. You can't have fear, and when your coach has no fear, your players have no fear.

Phil is the ultimate example of a Winning Brain in a Coach.

Change Is Good

eVil - your mastheads rule and your grammar is above reproach

Speaking of mastheads, you have a Stephen Curry or Jrue Holiday ready for draft night?

I vote for a special Summer League edition masthead for July.

It's too bad Phil was never the coach here where it all started.

Thank you, misterearl. I don't have anything prepared. Been told to hold off since there appears to be a revamped UK looming.

for those of you who haven't seen it:



the NBA can really cash in on this hat. Just imagine all the X hats, the X shirts, etc.

And aren't there plenty left over from Spike Lee's film 'Malcolm X'
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

^^ I don't know, but I most definitely would not buy one of those. The 'X' in the Phil Jackson hat stands for '10' in Roman numerals.
