Phil Jackson Actually Has Incentive To Win
Published June 16, 2010 | 
Don’t let Phil Jackson’s laid back demeanor fool you, He’s got plenty to cheer for for game 7. Throughout these playoffs, Phil has seemingly taken every timeout break to state the obvious about the game, and let his players motivate themselves.
While this has proved successful with 9 championships handed to him by Shaq and MJ, and last year’s first great coaching job to the cahmpionship.
He actually does have incentive to win game 7 tomorrow versus the Celtics.
2 Million Bucks. According to ESPN.com, Phil Jackson has a $2 million dollar trigger bonus in his contract for winning the NBA title this year. And while he already made $12 million this year, an extra 16% to anyones salary is significant. So if theres any way to go out for retirement, it’s an extra $2 million to drop into that 401k. Good Luck Phil, get yourself some more suits like the Bulls’ days.
Please lose, Kobe.
