Hall of Fame basketball coach Phil Jackson has admitted to no longer following the NBA because it's become 'woke' and too 'political' since the 2020 bubble.
The 77-year-old, who won 11 NBA championships as a head coach, claimed that he hasn't stayed up to date with recent developments in the league since 2020, while speaking to the Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin podcast.

Phil is kinda woke. So this is news to me.
Keep in mind Phil Jackson supported Bill Bradley in 2000 because he thought Al Gore was too moderate
Isn’t he woke?
I feel the same exact way. I was a HUGE NBA and Laker fan up until they started the BLM kneeling nonsense in the NBA, but what sealed the deal for me was one of the biggest racists in all sports, and maybe all time... Labron James.
Once he came on the scene the NBA and Lakers were over for me. I haven’t watched a minute since and couldn’t even tell you what team won the championships for quite a few years now.
I don’t even know who is in the play offs.
I thought he was. Maybe he’s not.
My uncle no longer watches laker games because of le douche and even though le douche makes me wanna up chuck im purple and gold all the way
What’s an NBA?
Used to be a Hawks fan. I stopped the NBA about the time Moses Malone ended playing for them. That’s been a while.
Zen courage
the only interest I might have in the nba is to follow local college players....otherwise, who cares....
National Bastards Association
I thought maybe it’s National Basket cases Association.

Analysis
I think Alastair Talbot needs to go back and research this crap. Jackson was one of the first commie lib coaches that I can remember.
Probably in the 2000-to-2005 era, I had diminishing interest, and last NBA game I watched was 2013.
I will still watch European basketball, and NCAA action.
Presently, I think there’s probably a dozen clubs in Europe that could probably take on NBA clubs and in 75-percent of games....beat them.
A small victory...we’ll take it.
Haven’t watched since Bird and Jordan retired. Besides going full racists, the level of play was degrading in a serious way.
