Phil Jackson would start team with Howard over LeBron
Lakers coach Phil Jackson joined the show to discuss the upcoming playoffs.
-- Dan asked Jackson who he would want to start a team with. Jackson said that power players are really the key to the NBA. There are exceptions, like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, but he would take Dwight Howard over James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul if he was starting a team right now.
-- Jackson said the key difference this year from last year is having Andrew Bynum and a healthy Trevor Ariza. Jackson said that Bynum will be limited because he's not fully healthy yet.
-- Jackson said that since the timeouts are longer in the playoffs, the starters can go longer. During the regular season he tries to limit players' minutes. He said Bryant has some miles on his legs and he needs to watch his playing time.
-- Jackson said that Kobe gets overlooked a bit like Michael Jordan did. In 1993, Charles Barkley got the MVP over Jordan. This year, Jackson says that LeBron will likely be the MVP. Jackson does think James has been fantastic this year, and has no problem with him getting the award.
-- Jackson looked around the West and commented on several teams. He said that the Hornets and the Jazz have slid down the standings a bit. Jackson said New Orleans' health issues hurt it defensively. Jackson said that the Mavs and Blazers suddenly are dangerous.
-- Jackson said that he tries to keep abreast of players' lives, so he does keep aware of Twitter and cell phones.

Power players are the key...and that's the rationale for taking Howard over James...lol. Who knows what crazy mind games Phil is up to, but you would take LeBron over Howard every single time.
The kid is probably going to go down as the best to ever play the game. Oh, and he's got some power to his game, too.

I'll tell ya what.. I'm sure he'd much rather play Howard than LeBron in the Finals. Maybe he's trying to pump this kids confidence.

It's just a tweak-job on LeBron.

At his best, Howard is less than Hakeem. At his best, James is better than Jordan.
I think that's all that needs to be said.

What a moron, Phil has only won with Lebron-esque players. Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Dwight Howard doesn't carry a team like a superstar can, this is clearly just a case of Phil being the d-bag he is.
I just saw that someone put that Dirty Player article on digg.com everyone should go digg it so that everyone see's how dirty the Spurs are. Go to this link
http://digg.com/basketball/The_NBA_s...noying_Players
And click digg, it is as simple as that.

Phil is just being Phil. Don't buy too much into what comes out of his mouth.

Yah...Lebron is definitely a power player. Why do you think he dreams of playing for the Browns?

could you imagine how insanly good he could be as a TE? Or he actually seems to have the mental capacity to run a team, how unstopable of a QB would he be?
