Phil Jackson's New Member In Hall of Fame

Ok, you know what I meant....On Monday, April 2, Lakers head cach Phil Jackson was announced as a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame's Class of 2007, earning induction in his first year of consideration for election. At thw helm of not only one, but two of the great dynasties in NBA History, Jackson, a native of North Dakota where he also starred in college before playing professionally for the Knicks & Nets, coached for the Chicago Bulls for six NBA championships (1991,1992,1993,1996,1997,1998) and the Lakers to three straight titles(2001,2002,2003). His nine championships tie him with the legendary Red Auerbach for the most all-time for a coach.
