The Last Dance: Phil Jackson insights from Charley Rosen, Phil’s friend of more than 40 years

April 20, 2020 by Pure Hoops

Phil Jackson dubbed the 1997-’98 season “The Last Dance,” because everyone on the Chicago Bulls knew it was their final chance to win another NBA Championship. Charley Rosen has been Phil’s friend since the early 1970s, has written books with him, and has many stories about their time together. In the show, Charley discusses (@13:35) Michael Jordan’s obsession with winning, (@ 31:10) his thoughts on the Jackson/Jerry Krause relationship, how Phil’s dismissal and MJ’s retirement likely cost the Bulls two more championship runs, (@32:30) why Phil pushed Jerry Krause to trade Charles Oakley for Bill Cartwright, who was more of a badass than people realized, and (@36:12) a classic Dennis Rodman story about how his defense in an exhibition game (after his retirement) actually bordered on sexual assault. Charley’s first hand stories are amazing.
