Current Zen Master and former Bulls coach Phil Jackson took his C.J. Spiller Jersey book tour to 'The Daily Show' to chat about "11 Rings: The Soul of Success" the tome in which he dishes on his preference of Michael Jordan over Kobe Bryant.
Jon Stewart, a Knicks fan, pushed Jackson on whether he might have his sights set on New York or Brooklyn and got a tepid statement on Phil's lack of interest in returning to the court. Now, front office .
There were a couple of Bulls snippets, though no more Kobe/Michael talk. Jackson was on the show wearing the 7210 199596 championship ring. And Stewart asked about North Korea enthusiast Dennis Rodman. Jackson said he never suspected Rodman might have diplomatic skills, http://www.billsofficialnflstore.com but did say he occasionally has contact with his former forward. Though, not by phone or text? Does Rodman only appear in his dreams?
Also, you'll be happy to hear, Phil isn't hurting for money. So stop your worrying.
Cleveland, as you may have heard, lost a basketball player Thursday night. But the city has something to fill the hole in its collective hear created by LeBron James departure to the Miami Heat via free agency a burning hatred.
And outside of the fans turning out to burn James No. 23 jersey in the streets, perhaps no other Clevelander sums up passionate dislike more that Dan Gilbert, the majority owner of James' now former hometown Cleveland Cavaliers. In fact, Gilbert wants to leave nothing to chance in letting his former star and the city that worshiped him know where he stands on the issue, going so far as to issue an open letter to the universe declaring his distaste for King James. Some highlights:
Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;
As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.
This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, selfpromotional buildup culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.
The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hardworking, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.
There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.
If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.
Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.
Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.
This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to growup to become.
But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the socalled "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.
The selfdeclared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell Nike C.J. Spiller Jersey and bad karma.
OK, so, bitter much, Dan? Admittedly, though, understandably. But now you have a big promise to deliver on. Yes, you have some money to spread. Quite a bit, actually. But the aisles are starting to get a little bare in the free agent store.
But you do have spirit. And a city filled with the desire the see your promise come true, as much for spite as team and civic pride, but that counts, too.
Good luck, Cleveland. Now you just have to back up the talk.
Not sure which is worse for Antoine Walker. That he's http://www.billsofficialnflstore.com/Black+Cj+Spiller+Jersey being sued in a $2.3 million foreclosure lawsuit over the Tinley Park mansion he bought his mom or that he lists himself as unemployed in the subsequent bankruptcy filing.
The latest trouble in a string of bad news for the former NBA All Star shows Walker with assets of $4.28 million against liabilities of $12.74 million, according to a report in Crain's Chicago Business. He was last in the news for writing a series of bad checks on casino debt, though charges were deferred when a payment plan was agreed upon.
Walker made $110 million in his 13year NBA career.
In the bankruptcy filing, Walker claims he has no monthly income and no job. Aside from debt on real estate, the petition includes more than $1.25 million in gambling debt to casinos in Las Vegas and Northwest Indiana. And there's his 2006 NBA championship ring, listed at $6,000 according to the filing.
