He probably assumed Phil Jackson was a bird since Washington Post said birds were racist.

Eh, not buying it. MJ and Kobe would have had Phil fired if he was truly racist.

Phil Jackson certainly has his shortcomings, but I sincerely doubt racism is one of them.

Pip has a lot going on right now. His son just died a month or two ago. He may truly believe what he's saying, but he's coming off as a little unhinged. I'm sure that is playing a decent part in his sour grapes tour right now

They are his posse. It's not racist, it's factual. If you don't want to get labeled as a dick rider, then don't ride Lebron's dick to fame and money. Or, you know, do it, because it's awesome, but take the fact that some of us are going to call you things like - dick rider, posse, entourage, clowns, grifters, hanger-ons, etc.

^^^ I’m not trying to get into a discussion about what is politically, morally or ethically correct. Just here for Lakers & hoop talk and in this circumstance was just the messenger. However, that posse term clearly struck a nerve with Maverick, Rich and Bron’s camp.

Unless you sincerely believe Sterling was the only one, racial undertones are clearly prevalent in the league today. You can simply look at the ownership/exec/coaching posse to see how painfully obvious it is.

Because they are tall children.

All I'm saying is PJ wasn't dog whistling. If he called them a gang, that would be one thing, but posse is fine and while PJ definitely meant it as a dig, I don't think he intended it to be a racial one.

Rich is all of 5’2” something. Of course they’ll look like children standing next to Bron haha.

Seriously tho, I get what you’re saying. But honestly we really don’t know what happens in private. I’m sure no one wants to really air out anybody, but Phil could have made them feel a certain way behind the scenes.

Either way, Pip has liquor to sell. I’m sure this type of buzz helps

It could just be that Phil is actually a 75-year old rich, white, male racist from Montana. I'd imagine that club is not exclusive.

I don’t get the hate for lbj’s crew. A lot of us would be in a much better place and be able to get spread our talents more of the financial help was there. Can we deny that rich white people don’t help out their friends too which leads to their success as well?

Phil was and (bleep) and if those quotes are true, certainly has racists thoughts from time to time.

That quote was calling Pippen a white boy..wasn't it?

"Subordinating their own personal glory for the good of the group"

In truth I believe we are most commonly a product of our environment moreso than racial characteristics

If you blend what Phil was saying he he seemed to put it all in a societal perspective... if you keep holding the Black man back the strongest and boldest will rise up.. Whites have it more comfortable in USA and do not have to prove as often who is strongest toughest etc.. Society is on their side in the equation which leads me to think they would potentially be more open to trusting a system...

^^ stoned ramblings..

*Even today racial minority athletes and NBA players are called racial slurs by deranged fans..
