Do you find it Just Us Or Has Phil Jackson Been Acting Like Kind of A Dick Lately?

Not like Dick Stockton. Not prefer Dick Van Dyke. Phil Jackson is acting like a regular, lower-cased dick, such for the reason that Dick Cheney (the preeminent name in dickishness).

The Zen Master has been in the news a lot recently, between his new booklet and new mastery of Twitter and even talk show appearances. Traditionally, Jackson has been an understated presence: the guy who never compares, even when his company is sucking. The chap who recommends something termed "Shantaram" as reading materials. You know, Zen junk.

1. When asked to share a picture of the two main championship rings he won together with the Knicks in the '70s, Jackson responded in such a:

@sthomas141 here's the best I often do…the 2 Knick rings come in the front of this picture. twitter. com/PhilJackson11/…

There was no possible way to snap a photograph of just the a couple Knicks rings. It's many 13 or nothing, persons. That's "the best" he'll do, ok?

You laughed? That's extremely rude. Sure, we all laughed using some small way over Mike D'Antoni getting a coaching job over Phil Fitzgibbons. But you know what's as well funny? A guy "retiring" from coaching a lot of times and just expecting to find the job back when he wants it.

That has to be like Barack Obama posting a book called "I'm President. " Yeah, we realize you won 11 rings, Phil. Was "I'm That Fucking Man" taken?

We can't blame Phil entirely for this purpose seeming dickery. If people shoved a camera in my face and asked to do for favors or my opinion on pretty much everything every day, I'd more than likely give some dick results too. Not to mention that book tour needs a little controversy to stir up sales. But these last couple of weeks have seemed very un-Zen-like, to speak about the least. Guess Buddhism and capitalism may not be so easy to get back together.
