Twitter is not for everyone, most coaches stay off the social media site but Phil Jackson isn’t like most coaches. Phil went on twitter to express his thoughts on the Ex-Knicks players currently in the playoffs. JR Smith and Iman Shumpert are thriving with the Cavs this post season. JR Smith had the game of his career in game 1 of the ECF for the Cavs. The Cavs only acquired JR and Shump after a mid-season trade with the Knicks. Now it seems like Phil Jackson backtracking on giving up both players in search of the greater good.
2)we are glad for JR,Shump,Pablo,etc…players have comfort zones that they need to play their best…we want them to find that in NBA

Phil seems more bitter than trying to educate us on the game. The main problem with Phil ideas/thoughts are that its hard to take them so serious considering how bad the Knicks were last season. Makes you begin to wonder if modern day basketball has out grown Phil Jackson philosophy. And how much this stint with the Knicks will hurt the Phil Jackson mystique if he can’t turn things around?
