Phil Jackson, the legendary NBA coach, believes that the league has become too political to enjoy. He thinks that the focus on social justice issues has taken away from the game itself, making it less entertaining for fans. Jackson’s comments have sparked a debate about the role of politics in sports and whether it’s possible to separate the two. Despite the controversy, one thing is clear: the NBA is more than just a game. It’s a platform for athletes to speak out on important issues and make a difference in the world.

Legendary NBA coach and player Phil Jackson has had enough of the league’s political agenda. Speaking on the “Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin” podcast, Jackson criticized the NBA’s attempt to cater to a specific audience by displaying social justice slogans on the court and jerseys. The former coach of the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers called for professional basketball to be non-political, stating that the league’s actions have alienated many longtime fans. “I am not enjoying the game,” Jackson said. “That’s too bad. There’s a whole generation that doesn’t like the game.” According to a recent poll, nearly 50% of sports fans in the country have changed their viewing habits because of political messaging in sports. It’s time for the NBA to get back to what it does best – playing basketball.
