Phil Jackson has stopped watching the NBA. .. Because they supported black people who were murdered by the police!

Phil has come under fire in the past for making racially insensitive comments about LeBron James and his business associates. Phil referred to LeBron’s business partner as his “posse.” According to Media Take Out, the group he was speaking of included Rich Paul — one of the top sports agents in the world.
