Lupica: Phil failed with 'His Guy' and now needs 'Best Guy'

This is what an NBA coach said on the telephone the day the Knicks paid Phil Jackson $60 million to restore the team to its old glory, because of Phil's glory days coaching the Bulls and Lakers:

"It's going to be a big bamboozle."

By the way? The comment was made by a man who has tremendous respect for the work that Phil did with the Bulls and the Lakers, when he was running a triangle offense that is gangbusters when you can finally throw the ball to one of the ten best players of all time.
