Phil Jackson = HOF!

[WoobieZarz]

It's confirmed, Jacko's to be inducted to the Hall Of Fame.

In the CHICAGO TRIBUNE, Sam Smith writes “his kids and their significant others will be there, along with his grandkids, another group of 13. His former teammate and roommate, Bill Bradley, will introduce him along with his longtime coach and friend, Tex Winter. The whole group will be something of his own personal basketball congregation, which perhaps is the appropriate metaphor for Phil Jackson's induction Friday into the Basketball Hall of Fame.”

Also claims it could be his last season!

In the LOS ANGELES TIMES, Mark Heisler writes “ten days from his 62nd birthday, with nine NBA titles, still walking with a cane after hip replacement surgery, Phil Jackson is entering the Basketball Hall of Fame. If you're wondering what's left for him with the Lakers, so is he. ‘This could well be my last year of coaching,’ Jackson said before flying to Springfield, Mass., for tonight's induction. "I'm not saying it is but it could be.”

Great news for one of the most legendary basketball coaches in the history of the sport.

Imagine how great it must be for him as a coach, and for his players.

First he gets to lead Michael Jordan, Scottie, Dennis, Luc, Steve Kerr etc at the Bulls

Then imagine getting to see that franchise fall apart, and then make the move to the Lakers where you have two of the greatest ever in Shaquille and Kobe Bryant.
