    Did Phil make his comments last season or recently?

    If he made them last season then Vince is a moron for just now talking about it. He wasn't on team USA, his team hasn't made any big moves, so now he needs something to talk about so he brings up old crap?

    not wise of vince to comment on this. not wise to say you dont care what a 9 time championship coach thinks. not gonna help you win arguments about vince wanting to be a winner if he doesnt care what the best coach in the league thinks...even if what he thinks is off base. hopefully next time he will say "no comment...i dont care about that stuff".

    I dunno, PJax does like to talk smack, and take jabs at people. I wouldn't trust what he has to say, unless it's in the Lakers locker room to his own guys. I mean I think it is best for Vince to not care and ignore it. It would be completely different though if Phil was his coach and was trying to help him out and Vince didn't care about what he had to say.

    Wow, that's some of the harshest words I've seen Vince speak out.

    Can't agree with what Phil is saying though. He said Kidd had fire, and Jefferson was playing great. It couldn't be farther from the truth. Plus, Vince was injured.

    thats the thing. most fans just look at a stat sheet and watch sports-center highlights and then make a decision about vince and make these crazy statements.

    for those who watched him, you would see its a combination of BAD PLAY, yes, he wasnt playing that great, but a role change, a teammate who wants to be traded, a busted ankle....a lot of stuff played part. it wasnt as clear cut as what phil leads people to believe.

    This guarantees that Rosen is going to rip Vince a new asshole in forthcoming article

    Wonder why Vince didn't comment on the 'fool's gold' statement from the Orlando contingency.

    No, that comment was taken out of context hence there was nothing for him to comment upon.

    Knowing that this has been explained and discussed in excruciating detail in this forum, it is beating a dead horse to bring it up again.

    There are plenty of reasons to bang on Vince, but this isn't one of them

    Honestly, that was not meant as Vince-bashing, but as an honest question.

    Geez, Fool's Gold? I would think that Vince would be insulted by that statement.

    I would assume a reporter asked him about it. I doubt he just brought it up and started commenting.

    Seems like Vince never was asked about them before and now a reporter asks and he responds and somehow looks bad for replying in a mature statment.

    The title overrates what he says.

    I dont see anything wrong with Phil Jackson's comments. It was true. Like Million said, VC should have just said no comment.

    At the beginning of the year Kidd was playing his heart out. Jefferson was being RJ. VC, injured or not, was statis quo. Your Reputation precedes you. Oh Well. VC needs to come out and prove everyone wrong. VC nneds to lead this team to the Lottery. Please.

    are you a Nets fan? Do you watch any games?

    People cant say these are just numbers. The guy busted his ass in Nov. especially with the rbs. I cant imagine Kidd dogging it with those numbers. Yeah the 3pt and TO sucked but he still contributed.
