Phil Jackson Cancelled Appearance as Keynote Speaker For Next Week, the Day Before the Lakers Job Opened

All, NBA Jason Lisk November 9th. 2012, 3:45pm

Phil Jackson was scheduled to be the keynote speaker at a Schwab event in Chicago next week that will have upwards of 3,000 attendees. In what was called a “last minute development”, the former Lakers and Bulls head coach will be replaced, of course, by Alan Alda.

Let the rumors continue (they’ve already begun). I’m sure he just decided to take some time off from taking time off and this is a coincidence.

Way to walk in and drop a grenade in a house that’s already been blown up.

Alan Alda is going to coach the Lakers? Is he even a big basketball fan?

That is a horrible thing you’ve done, Mr. Lisk. Posting that picture with no caption? For shame. Magic looks like he’s got his dentures out

Phil Jackson has such an amazing lot of land. He would be a fool to leave. If he feels the need to coach and wants another 10-15 million. Skype from the ranch to the bench.

Convicted felon(I think?) TI is doing color on the Atlanta Hawks game on TV tonight. I’m sure that will definitely attract all those suburbanites that you covet, Hawks organization. What a dumpster fire.

I think Bob Einstein is even a Lakers fan…I’m sure he’d do it.

He’s a reality TV star, too. I think that’s the basis for thinking he would have crossover appeal.

that makes Kobe’s denial of the death stare and jostling with the media all the more pathetic.

Cannot say he looks good after saying everyone was bored to read into that.
You’ve got two notoriously pouty bitches on that team, going to be hard to convince people that they didn’t have a role in this.

So can we get a pool going on what book Phil is going to give the team to read his first day of practice? I call dibs on the Churchill biography.

Noted sex criminal and crossdresser Marv Albert seems to be making a go of it in broadcasting.

Touche. Get back to me when Marv is buying silencers for illegal automatic weapons though.

I know this is a joke…and their death was caused by a tree falling on them while driving…but if you can afford it, Permanent Life Insurance is always nice.

You got your commenters crossed up. I was the one bitching at the states for asking for the federal government to foot the entire damage bill. Someone else, can’t remember who, was waxing poetic about people not being ready for the storm.

You might be thinking about Nada and I’m pretty sure he was just being sarcastic because of what people were saying after Katrina.
Kc…thats fucking great.
That’s fucking cool. How cool was Miles? That memo right there.
