[Highlight] Phil Jackson slips and falls off a pump fake by Happy Hairston
That’s disgusting. He looks like he got sniped and folded
He got happy feet
It was in that moment lying there on the floor, Phil made a life-long decision that he would one day come back to LA and return the Lakers to greatness, whereby everyone would forget that moment of him slipping and falling in front of everyone.
Chicago was just a stepping stone for Phil.
Just like the conspiracy theory about how Disney made frozen so if you Google ‘Disney Frozen’ you don’t see anything about cryogenics (see also: Dubai chocolate, bellicheck’s woman’s gold digger line)
He clearly wanted to make sure when Google was invented, googling ‘phil Jackson lakers’ wouldn’t bring this up
Ootl on some of those references
Walt Disney was put on ice when he died in the hopes he’d be revived in the future. A Dubai chocolate is when an emirati pays an exorbitant amount of money to an Instagram influencer so that he may fly her out to the UAE and take a dump on her chest. Idk the other one
THAT’S why I’ve been seen “Dubai -styled- Chocolate” at the front of grocery stores for weeks now!
Rumour about walt Disney being cryogenically frozen; Bill Belichick’s girlfriend was called a gold digger and they recently filed to trademark “gold digger” for a clothing line; not 100% sure about Dubai chocolate, but I assume it’s about how influencers get flown out to Dubai where rich guys pay to shit on them
I like where you’re going here
Stick to coaching Phil it suits you better and less sweat too
So that’s why he was so chill on the bench!
*New York
Not the ankle breaker OP thinks it is. There’s clearly some sweat on the floor. His left foot was ice skating the second he planted it.
Phil always had a bitch-ass coefficient of friction
“Call me whatever you want, but I’ve got more championship rings than Antonio Alfonseca has fingers”
-Phil Jackson, probably.
Dall-E Fingers
Right lol before modern basketball shoes and towel moppers this probably happened all the time and why everyone looks so slow.
Lebron wouldn’t have thrived in this era
Did I correctly hear the announcer say Jackson also got a technical? Just for laying there. Lebron would be cooked
Techs were SUPER common in this era. They gave one to Phil here for Delay of Game for laying on the floor too long.
They’re much rarer nowadays because of the suspension rule, but if you think ref ego was bad today, you should have seen it before they had ref reports and constant news coverage.
His ankles would have exploded playing in Chucks.
It’s actually crazy that guys like Wilt played so many minutes wearing the garbage shoes of the day
He’d average 270 points a game
They actually called travels and carries back then. Offensive fouls were also much more strictly enforced.
I don’t get users here thinking that somehow only current players were athletic like there was a genetic evolution in the human genome.
They should imagine playing barefoot. Now look at old players and that is how they played because the shoes sucked. They played more gingerly.
Also rules were different. Travels were called. This cross over carry stuff won’t work.
It’s like bragging about your 1998 Geo Metro being the best car if you can go back to 1905.
His hip was never the same SMH
So that’s how he missed up his hips huh
Bernie Mac’s impression of Phil Jackson is a treasure.

As a white man with a high ass I can confirm that how we walk. That shits hilarious
what kind of post-defense is this on Wilt? defender doesn’t even bother touching him
Because if Wilt initiates the contact (driving), then there is a chance it will be an offensive foul.
The offensive foul rules were more strictly enforced.
Baiting Wilt Chamberlain to get offensive fouls was a tactic used by many teams.
Another possible reason, Wilt changed his playstyle due to a request of his coach to pass more, and focus more on defense. But when he was criticized for not scoring on the newspaper, he will put 30, 40 and 50 points, before getting back to “normal”.
More strictly is an understatement

Meanwhile nowadays refs let offensive players tea bag defenders on a dunk and probably call it a defensive foul too.
lol wtf like what did the ref even see to call that
Indeed.
I think that in this case, Wilt was called for kicking his leg out, which is a bs call here, IMO.
The referee’s sight was obstructed by the other players.
And to think the fadeaway post jump shot was one of Wilt’s aresnal.
So interesting how things changed the season Wilt changed his style. Not only did they win the championship, they also beat the Celtics 4-1. Even Russell apparently said Wilt was playing like him.
Fun fact: In the 2 times Wilt had a good coach, him and his team won the ring.
Different rules, Wilt could sit in the post all day and man defense was mandatory. So the pace was extremely slow and the defense was kind of forced to wait for Wilt to make a move.
That was a beautiful offensive set
Can’t even imagine how insane Giannis would be against these guys lol
Personally, I want to see how a guy from the year 2070 would shit on Giannis.
Could only imagine lol, dudes probably going to be built like Wemby with the shooting of Steph 💀
100x the RAM as kawai
I too, often fantasize about going back into the past with modern technology and owning them fools! Imagine showing up in ancient rome with an M-60 and a couple boxes of ammo. you would literally take over the entire world and be heralded as the king of all kings👑
Yo, check out the game “Kingmakers” on YouTube. It’s exactly what you just said. Modern weaponry vs ancient armies basically. It’s not out yet and I don’t think there is even early access / beta, but it looks dope.
that sounds awesome as fuck
He looks like Frank Zappa lmao
The guy defending from half court would’ve 10000% been called for a foul today.
That explains why more offense was run from the post back then, since perimeter defense was actually allowed
He actually smacks his man in the face
Honestly the shoes back then weren’t doing defenders any favors.
His shoes betrayed him!
Knicks legend Phil Jackson right there
Why doesnt this sub leg us dl videos
I know it probably hurt like hell, but the way he just laid out after on the floor and the camera panned to him was cartoonishly funny
At work I’ve been listening to “Three Ring Circus” Jeff Pearlman’s book about the Shaq/Kobe Lakers, and man it’s definitely made me think Phil was way more of an asshole than I did previously, so seeing him fall down like an idiot is kinda cathartic.
Adam Morrison type beat
Action Jackson (they called him back them)
I always get a laugh when Shaq didn’t know who Happy Hairston was lol
Ah yes. The moment almost everyone has had. The 3 seconds of lying on your back, motionless, rethinking your life.
Jackson slips and falls off ❌
Hairston snaps his ankles ✅
I started watching some old footage of NBA games, and but I accident I found it was 1972 NBA Finals, game 5.
The Lakers won the game and the series 4-1.
Phil might have exploded if he had to guard SGA
When did carrying rules get loosened?
Iverson
So this is where Melo learned it from
Phil with the collapsed triangle defense
So very zen
What was the technical for? Because you laid down?
Just look at the spacing on the court. It doesn’t even look like the same game lol
Pau Gasol. 😁
Those who can’t teach and those who can do.
Honestly, didn’t know Phil Jackson played in the NBA. Should have been obvious with how tall he is, but I was also an adult when I found out Jerry Sloan played in the NBA, and is kinda a Bulls legend.. which the irony always gets me.
Reminds me of Carmelo Anthony lol
I would’ve been the greatest player of all time in this era.
Nah son, those cats woulda smoked you. They are closer to Lebron then you are to them.
Pump fake? Like a dildo?
God these dudes are so ass
Time warp prime Jerry West or Wilt into the present day, and they would prolly hold you scoreless one-on-one.
And then smoked the lay up. These guys really were car salesmen and butchers.
Because people don’t miss layups today
Klay ups
Buddy watched one single clip and decided to generalize the entire league, holy cherry pick.
At least they play the game without carrying and traveling on every possession. The way the rules are enforced in the modern NBA is a joke. It’s become an entertainment league first, sports league second. WWE 2.0
The blatant rule disparity enhances why they find these old clips corny.
They’re like “why don’t they just palm the ball at half-court and take 20 steps to the lay-up like our modern superstars?”
Which makes the game look better. The olddie palming rule made the game much worse to watch than football, where you have much more leeway in driving the ball.
Yeah that doesn’t happen today haha LeBron never airballed open layups without a foul in the playoffs
At least he tried to get the ball in the bucket instead of foul baiting. Some players from today put in Happy Hairston’s position there would’ve been shot by a sniper trying to sell the contact from Phil Jackson falling into them.
Left this sub while ago for takes like this. First post I see after checking back? Same deadbrain nonsense.
Wilt Chamberlain didn’t score 100 points
