[Highlight] Phil Jackson blocks Pat Riley
Classy on classy violence
Pat had wheels
I think today is Phil Jackson’s 80th birthday. The footage is likely from 1972…they have a few years between them.
Not gonna lie… I’m surprised to discover that either Phil Jackson or Pat Riley played in the league back in the day… I don’t know why I never considered this possibility before.
Phil Jackson won titles with the Knicks (yes, that’s how long it’s been since they won)
PJ was like one of those, Bobby Portis type role players too. All energy bruiser and a fan favourite.
He had to sit out one title run with back issues, but was there for the other.
Weird hearing West playing with them
