Phil Jackson Posse Statement. Jackson, who was not made available to the media tuesday, referred to james' business associates as a posse during an interview with espn's jackie macmullan that was published earlier this week. Jackson made the statement in response to a question about james' decision to leave the miami heat and sign with the cavaliers, in the context of pat riley's tenure.
You can’t hold up the whole team because you and your mom and your posse want to. Jackson offended cavaliers star lebron james with a comment he made to espn that characterized james'. Lebron james says he has lost respect for phil jackson after the famed nba coach used the word posse to describe the cleveland star's business partners.
