    Because Phil Jackson has always looked down on James, and Phil Jackson, who was a Knicks executive at the time, was also very unhappy when James's good brother Anthony played for the Knicks, so it is normal for James to be dismissive of Phil Jackson, and for Popovich, he defeated James twice in the Finals and directly subdued James, so James has great respect for Popovich.

    From the beginning of entering the league, Phil Jackson didn't know why he always looked down on James, and at the beginning, he accused James of liking to form small teams and forming gangs, but it didn't attract much attention at the time, and everyone just thought it was his complaint.

    Later, in an interview, Phil Jackson complained that James played ugly and liked to walk but was not punished.

    Later, Anthony went to the Knicks and clashed with Phil Jackson, and James, who is Anthony's good brother, will naturally stand on Anthony's side.

    Later, Phil Jackson referred to James' agent, Rich Paul, as a retinue.

    Later, he criticized James for bringing his own system, his own data since ancient times, and everyone must fight around him.

    For these, because Phil Jackson's status in the league is quite high, James has not spoken out to fight back, until later I couldn't stand it anymore, and said in an interview that I have lost all respect for Phil Jackson.

    After that, he never said anything about Phil Jackson, and after getting no response, Phil Jackson stopped.

    That's why James will be dismissive of Phil Jackson, for a person who constantly slanders himself, James has been very personable, and the reason why Phil Jackson has a lot of dissatisfaction with James may also be due to his own arrogance, after all, he has led Jordan and Kobe Bryant two generations of superstars, and both won three consecutive championships.

    And for Popovich, James really respects him very much, the reason is that Popovich really convinced him, when James actually entered the Finals for the first time, Popovich swept the Cavaliers with the Spurs, and taught the young James a good lesson.

    And many years later, James also became the winner of the championship by defeating the aging Spurs, but it was very difficult to win, facing the aging Spurs, the Heat with the Big Three and Ray Allen almost lost the Finals, and the double-serve battle was decided in seven games.

    However, the spurs taught James another lesson the following year, as they easily defeated the Heat to end their three-game championship dreams and break up the Heat's desire to win multiple championships.

    Moreover, the team basketball played by Popovich and the Spurs is also very much appreciated by James, the Spurs are actually a small city team, and under the leadership of Popovich, they have become one of the most successful teams in the NBA, I believe that not only James, but also many people appreciate Popovich.

    Because Spurs head coach Popovich and little emperor James respect each other. The main Spurs and the Cavaliers and Heat during the time of the little emperor James often met in the Finals, and the two teams won and lost each other, especially when the Cavaliers, James faced the Spurs led by Popovich for the first time when he reached the Finals, and then lost to the Spurs, which was also the biggest setback in James's life. But this setback has made James respect Popovich and feel that he is a good coach.

    The second is that Popovich belongs to a more introverted coach, he is unwilling to evaluate any player, we all know that Leonard has a deep contradiction with him, but after Leonard left the Spurs, he did not say bad things about Leonard behind his back, and just brushed this matter aside, so James admires Popovich's personality very much.

    And this Phil Jackson coach is different, Phil Jackson went to the New York Knicks as president after leaving the Lakers, and he also recruited James to come to the New York Knicks, but James refused, so he has something uncomfortable in his heart about James as a player.

    We all know that Phil Jackson is a head coach who can handle superstars, he drove the Flyer Jordan during his time with the Bulls and Kobe Bryant with the Lakers. And in an interview with **, he still put these two players in the front, and James put them at the end, which made James very unhappy. In the United States, many players think they are the best, and James is the same, so he is very angry with Phil Jackson's evaluation, so he is reluctant to deal with Phil Jackson.

    Another thing we have to know is that James has 4 very good high school partners around him, and they are still together, or partners, but these 4 people were ridiculed by Phil Jackson as accompaniment, which made James very annoyed, he thought that Phil Jackson spoke very casually and disrespected himself and his friends, and then James once shot back at Phil Jackson in public.

    Phil Jackson is one of the most famous championship coaches in history, but he is also a very controversial head coach because he has always coached the league's superstars. Never coached a team that didn't have a superstar, so the Lakers quit coaching the Lakers without Kobe. After James went to the Lakers, the Lakers executives once persuaded Phil Jackson to come out to coach James, but Phil Jackson refused, perhaps because of the estrangement between him and James.

    Based on the above, the contradiction between the two sides is still in the period when Phil Jackson was the president of the New York Knicks, he wanted to recruit James to the New York Knicks, and he may be the head coach of the team to coach James, but because James said that he would not cooperate with him, he lost a patience and respect for James, so he made such a fuss.

    Phil Jackson and Popovich are both some of the most legendary coaches in NBA history, and have been influential in the development of the NBA league and the promotion of basketball. They are undoubtedly characters in the history of the NBA, but everyone's evaluation of the two coaches is different, James and Phil Jackson's grievances and grievances are not cleared up and messy, they used to openly spray each other on social **, and it has also become an interesting anecdote that people talk about.

    First of all, we want to affirm Phil Jackson's place in history, he was a successful and great coach. brought out the Bulls dynasty and the Purple and Gold dynasty, achieved Jordan and Kobe Bryant, two historical players, and countless successful star-level players under him. James has a lot of respect for Popovich, because the Spurs team has snatched championships from James many times, and he deeply understands the power of Popovich, who are players and coaches of the same period.

    James and Phil Jackson didn't have much to do with each other, and they didn't play against each other much in the Finals and playoffs. James also didn't feel the pressure that Phil Jackson brought him, and Popovich's Spurs team held the record of reaching the playoffs for 15 years, which is a very scary existence, all because of Popovich's presence. James was complained by Phil Jackson when he first entered the league, and he publicly said that James was relying on his body to play the game, without any basketball skills at all, which poked James's pain point, and it was true that he lacked playing skills when he first entered the league.

    What annoys James even more is that Phil Jackson openly ridicules James's childhood friend。James alone can swallow his anger, but disrespecting his friends and brothers is unbearable. James talks in the air, he thinks Phil Jackson is an unworthy coach, although James will not take the initiative to attack others, but when attacked, he will also speak out and fight back.

    Are people afraid of being stung by the truth? You said that James was not in good shape, he would definitely not be angry because it was not true, you said that he would go to the heat to hug his thighs, he must be angry, because this is the truth, the Zen master told the truth and pierced his heart, Zhuge Wei was a big fool, he held James to the sky in his mouth, and beat James on the ground on the field, but many people didn't blame James and couldn't say anything.

    How to be a respected celebrity? Look at how Jordan did it, look at how Kobe Bryant did it, talk less, show off less, this is the best way for celebrities to be respected. If you want to be like Jackson and Pierce, for the sake of traffic, in order to make money, and open up infinitely, you will only lose the respect of others in the end, even if you get money, is such a deal cost-effective?

    As the first person in the active NBA league, James left the impression on fans not only that he was very dominant on the court, but also that his high emotional intelligence was impressive, I have to say that as a player, Lao Zhan's emotional intelligence is famous, he can speak, do things, and treat his predecessors with great respect, of course, there are many people who are not treated by Lao Zhan, just like Lao Zhan has a lot of respect for Spurs head coach Popovich, and treats the former championship coach Phil Jackson often scolds him, so why is this?

    James once said that he wanted to play under Popovich, which shows Lao Zhan's recognition of Popovich, indeed in the early stage of James's career, Popovich's Spurs have always been Lao Zhan's fierce rival on the way to winning the championship, in the finals, James's team and Popovich played, only one win and two losses, it can be said that Popovich snatched two championship trophies from Lao Zhan's hands, which also made Lao Zhan full of affirmation of Popovich's coaching level, naturally respectful, And Popovich often praises James's greatness in interviews, respect is mutual, Popovich and James are mutual respect, after all, many years of fighting make them know each other's excellence, so it is understandable that Lao Zhan respects Popovich.

    For Phil Jackson, who is also a champion coach and a famous Zen coach in NBA history, James is not so polite, and scolds him, first of all, Phil Jackson often blacks James in interviews, and once said that "James scored 10,000 points that should not be taken by walking." Such a famous sentence, and also publicly expressed his reluctance to coach James, saying that he was a selfish player, which naturally did not make James have any good feelings about him, but James has always treated people who hack him without much response, what really makes James angry is that Phil Jackson once ridiculed that James's four high school friends were his entourage.

    This made James can be said to be unbearable, and directly responded to Phil Jackson in the interview, saying that he had lost all respect for Phil Jackson. It can be seen that Lao Zhan is indeed irritated, and the relationship between the two is still very tense until now, it can only be said that Phil Jackson's disrespect is caused by himself, and if you want to be respected by others, you must first respect others, and Phil Jackson's achievements have always been controversial, after all, his coaching career is accompanied by superstars, and Lao Zhan is not as convincing as Popovich.

    Because Jackson was jealous of James, the two had fought together, but not at the same level, Jackson just felt that James was not as strong as everyone said.

    Because Jackson is not convinced by him, Jackson is a fan of Jordan, and has always compared Jordan with him, and as a result, he used this to mock, of course, this is just his personal opinion.

I've seen more than once or twice that some friends say that Popovich gave up early, but there is really no way to bury the acres, if Duncan is 27 years old and Parker Ginobili is still young, I think even if the momentum is not right, he will not give up any game where the difference is within 15 points.
