THIS is The Person Coach Phil Jackson Believes Is The Greatest Athlete He's Ever Coached!


You Go... Girl?????

After receiving an honorary doctor of letters degree from his alma mater, University of North Dakota, Lakers coach Phil Jackson revealed to the world the greatest athlete he has ever coached.

And it wasn’t Michael Jordan.Or Kobe Bryant.Or Shaquille O’Neal. Not Karl Malone, Derek Fisher, Rick Fox, Scottie Pippen, Steve Kerr, or Bill Cartwright.No, the player Jackson called the greatest that he has coached is that wedding dress aficionado and Newport Beach police’s favorite basketball bad boy, Dennis Rodman.

That’s right. No need to rub your eyes.

“He could probably play a 48-minute game and play the 48th minute stronger than the first minute of the game,” Jackson told the crowd at UND. “He was that terrific an athlete.”

Jackson credited Madonna for helping Rodman overcome his “shy” personality.

Rodman was a celebrated baller and he made his mark in the game when he was playing in the NBA. He was famous for his rebounding skills and his consistency in the game.

The Black bad boy has had strings of bad publicity recently. He has been arrested over a spousal battery, he was in rehab, and his ex-wife is now dating a rock band boy. Rodman has also had a brush with the America’s Internal Revenue Service to the tune of $400,000. He has however told away that its one of his managers who fixed him on the tax case.

“Madonna saw what was in there and wanted him . . . to do what she does: be outrageous, and kind of talked him into opening up his character,” Jackson said. “And Dennis didn’t know how many ways he could open up his character.”
