Phil Jackson a Knick yet again?

Some people just can’t get enough. Makes me wonder how many times Phil Jackson has had to quote Al Pacino throughout his life when considering returning to coaching in the NBA.

The New York Times has an article this morning about the remote possibility that Jackson may return to coaching, this time with the New York Knicks, the team he played with when the Knicks last won a championship in 1973.

“Every time Phil Jackson thinks the winter of his career is finally here, he awakens to find it is Indian summer and someone is luring him back to coaching. Elusive as Jackson may be at 66, the hunt continues. With 11 N.B.A. titles, he will not reach the end without saying no to at least a few more teams.” - Phil Jackson Is Seduced by the Energy of New York – NYTimes.com

Still rather amazing to think that the guy was part of 13 championship teams, 11 as a coach with the Bulls and Lakers and 2 as a player with the Knicks. That’s more than Bill Russell.
