I just read that rumors are starting to buzz about the Zen Master coaching the NY Bricks. This kind of rumor is always thrown into the fray whenever a NY sports team needs a new star player or a new manager since it is the biggest sports media market in the U.S. so I rarely get my hopes up.
I don't really follow the NBA until after the Super Bowl is over and it's a week or two before the All-Star game. Why? Because there are just too many games in the season and they don't really start gelling and kicking into 5th gear. The first half of the season is just atrocious. And with constant expansion and rule changes, the game is just getting sloppier and sloppier. Now, I'm not saying that the way Americans play ball should be more like a Soviet-like rigid scheme, but there has to be a little more emphasis on the basics. Everyone says this, but little is done.
I don't know how much good Jackson could do in NY. With so many huge contracts that cannot be unloaded in the next 50 years, there's just no room for new players to come in and make a difference. And who knows if this 59-year-old and very happy in retirement Zen Master wants to come back to face the onslought of the NY media. But the sentimentality of his old Knickerbocker days of yore may be enough to bring him back.
don't you mean get your 'hoops' up?
HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
I kill me.
After 200 years, the Knicks still suck. amazing.
