Stephen A. Smith has been left stunned with reports of veteran coach Phil Jackson helping Jeanie Buss in Los Angeles Lakers’ search to find a reliable head coach. To those who are not aware the 13-timeNBA Champion coach has a lot of history with the particular franchise and was told be in a consultancy role as the purple and gold look to revive their lost reputations after the 2021-22 season’s catastrophe. 

On the most recent episode of First Take, the ESPN Analyst believed why Phil Jackson’s involvement in such time in not good for the team. Safe to say, the sports media personality not only condemned owner Jeanie Buss but also ruthlessly went after Phil Jackson. Take a look at his response.

“If they were looking for a new general manager or a new president of basketball operations, I would call the Los Angeles Lakers franchise the biggest idiots on the planet,” Smith said. “Because Phil Jackson should never be allowed to be an executive again. A matter of fact, I’m still so salty about the job he did in New York. I’d prefer that he’d be banned from New York. I don’t think he should be allowed in the state. That’s how bad of a job he did.”

Safe to say, Stephen A. Smith did dial it back a bit by explaining how he has much more respect for Phil Jackson as a coach. The former even talked up Jackson’s vision as a coach by pointing out that he originally wanted Steve Kerr to be the New York Knicks head coach before team owner James Dolan “got in the way.”

The Lakers are dire need of turning the tables around if they are hoping to contest for the championship in the 2022-23 season. Having LeBron James too at their disposal until the end of the next season, the performance of the entire team, really ends up shaping their long-terms plans. Furthermore, with Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis among others under major scrutiny, who will be able to keep their seat besides LBJ? Remains to be a huge matter of speculations.
