On the Dan patrick show. I myself haven't seen it but i have read the recap from LG. I never believed Phil would ever be that blunt and say some of those stuff. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Dan has players rated: 1 Kobe 2 LeBron 3 Wade, does Phil agree?Yes - Kobe, LeBron, Wadeit really depends on mood of the refereesseen players suddenly not get callsthought they were generous with Wade-- How do you take advantage of preferential treatment?Riles did it the right way, gave Wade the middle of the floor allows refs to 'see fouls'-- What about Shaq's quote on Riles?Shaq always says the best is who he is with at that momentComplimented RilesDoesn't hurt him at allHe couldn't get Shaq to play screen rolls, Riles did-- Why was Riles able to get it out of him?Phil got that ability out of him in a different way (allowed him to slack at times)They didn't need him to score-- Did the Lakers make the right desicion on Shaq?YesTeams never get enough back for a dominant center-- Do the refs affect who you pick?Needs to decide on potential or now at 26th3 point line is a very important part of the game nowMaybe not a better game, but its different-- What do you think about comparing Wade to MJ?Can't compare until he gets more championshipsKobe's competetive drive, intensity and championships are very similar-- How would MJ do now?PJ would just spread the court and let him driveMJ couldn't get a call against Utah in the finals. How many throws would he get today?Subs don't get calls, you hope your top two players do-- Can an owner affect a game?Mark put himself on the backside of the gameHe should have kept a lower profileRefs couldn't help but be affected-- Could you coach for an owner like that?Depends on if he can be told to shut up and sit downHe wants the space to make decisionsMark has been a very affective owner-- Was AJ outcoached?Unfortunately there were many things that looked questionsable in the finalsDid a great job in earlier roundsPlayers were able to front Dirk without foul callsWade was able to run through screens without a foul callAll the ref rules were out the door by the time the series was over (Riley influence)</div>

It's so refreshing to see someone in the league not afraid to tell it like it is.</div>Yeh, it's nice to see him defending the laker oganisation on the Shaq trade. We were never going to win in that trade.
Good to see Phil tells it like it is. I said the same thing when Shaq said Riley was the best ever.I've never lost respect for PJ.
