Phil Jackson demonstrated during Friday’s press conference that he is—how can I put this mildly—a big, stupid baby. But it is also important to remember that his rantings are not only petty as hell, but often completely contradictory.
Perhaps no two issues demonstrate that contradictory nature than Phil’s opinions on Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose. Both players have similar strengths (scoring) and weaknesses (defense) at this point in their careers. Yet Jackson went out of his way to paint Melo as the grand saboteur of his beloved triangle offense, while Rose received several compliments for his desire to remain in New York.
