The NBA has been making headlines for its “bubble” at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, where teams are currently competing in the playoffs. However, one of the league’s greatest coaches has chosen to distance himself from the games, citing social justice issues.

Phil Jackson, who won 11 NBA championships as a coach with the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers, has refused to watch any games from the “bubble”. In an interview with ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan, Jackson expressed his discomfort with the league’s focus on social justice issues, stating that it is not providing a level playing field for all teams.

According to Jackson, “When I see an anthem in this day and age where people are kneeling, I understand what the message is, but I don’t think it’s a good message to send. I think it’s a political message, and I think it’s a message that needs to be heard but also it’s ambiguous.”

He added, “I think the league has to be a little bit careful that it’s not a selective way of bringing dissent into the picture, dissent into the game. The kind of leadership LeBron has shown has been great, but at the same time there are other people that are feeling the weight of this whole thing.”

Jackson’s comments have sparked a debate among fans and experts alike. Some have praised him for speaking out against what they see as the league’s misplaced priorities, while others have criticized him for being out of touch with the realities of today’s society.

Regardless of one’s stance on the matter, there is no denying that Jackson’s impact on the NBA has been significant. Over his 20-year career as a coach, he revolutionized the way the game is played, introducing new tactics and philosophies that are still used to this day.

From his early days with the Bulls, where he helped guide Michael Jordan to six championships, to his later success with the Lakers, where he won five championships with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal, Jackson’s legacy is one of brilliance, innovation, and hard work.

While it remains to be seen whether Jackson’s decision to distance himself from the “bubble” will have any impact on the league, there is no doubt that the NBA will continue to be a major force in the world of sports, both on and off the court. And as fans continue to debate the merits of social justice in sports, coaches like Phil Jackson will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the game.
