Arguably the greatest player in the modern era, LeBron James is one of a kind. He is ultra talented and has the smarts when it comes to handling his business. Yesterday, Phil Jackson said something that apparently dismayed The King.
The Zen Master Made A Remark That The King Didn't Appreciate
The Zen Master, Phil Jackson, is probably the greatest coach of all time. He has the reputation to tame or handle players in a weird way. Primary example would be Dennis Rodman. The Worm was perceived as a lunatic, uncontrollable time bomb. But when he was with the Bulls, Phil was able to convince Rodman to do his thing. The Zen Master is also brutally honest and will give you the heat.
Yesterday, he commented on LeBron James and his business associates. He explained elaborately what he thinks of James and his gang in a no-holds-barred interview. He then used the term "posse" which the King and his crew didn't appreciate. Now, this is not the first time that The Zen Master offended other superstars. The Zen master said it himself before, he will be in somebody's face if he thinks that they need to hear something out of him.
LeBron James' Responded To The Zen Master's Accusation
LeBron James was ambush interviewed with the current issue concerning him, but the King is ready. When he was asked if he had previous relationship with Phil Jackson, LeBron said "zero". No relationship at all. I had nothing but respect for him as a coach for what he was able to do. Obviously, he was at the helm of [the team featuring] my favorite player of all time [Michael Jordan], and also being there growing up and watching him with the Lakers, but I got nothing for him."
Phil Jackson Commented On The King's Tenureship In Miami And What It Meant To Pat Riley
We all know that The King lost two championship in Miami but that shouldn't outshine his accomplishments as he won two championships as well. He left Miami due to various reasons and hey, there's no place like home. Phil Jackson shared his thoughts on the King leaving South beach."It had to hurt when they lost LeBron," Jackson said. "That was definitely a slap in the face. But there were a lot of little things that came out of that. When LeBron was playing with the Heat, they went to Cleveland, and he wanted to spend the night.
They don't do overnights. Teams just don't. So now [coach Erik] Spoelstra has to text Riley and say, 'What do I do in this situation?' And Pat, who has iron-fist rules, answers, 'You are on the plane. You are with this team.' You can't hold up the whole team because you and your mom and your posse want to spend an extra night in Cleveland."I always thought Pat had this really nice vibe with his guys. But something happened there where it broke down. I do know LeBron likes special treatment. He needs things his way."

This was his way of honoring the iconic Muhammad Ali and opening the eyes of the public what the exhibit is all about.
