Phil Jackson won eleven NBA championships. Whatever he did, he did it well enough to win. If he favored white players, or Asian players, or whatever, he won. His decisions WON games. I mean if he always finished in last, and wouldn't play blacks, then you have an argument. But he won. And I am pretty sure he had his fair share of African Americans play for him.

This is getting really stupid.

Agreed. You could visualize how race likely played that kind of a role in why it took the Boston Red Sox from 1918 to 2004 to finally win a World Series (the so called “Curse of Ruth) as it took them until about 1959 to finally sign their first black player (Pumpsie Green) when they could have had both Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays that few years earlier.

Yeah I remember when Jackson drew up that play for Mark Madsen to make the game winning shot against the Spurs..oh wait, that was Derek Fisher..I remember 0.4 like it was yesterday..or when Big Shot Rob made that game winning buzzer beater against the Kings

He even won when he coached the Albany Poltroons of the CBA.
