(RARE) New York Knicks PHIL JACKSON 1972-73 Mitchell & Ness Special Edition XL

Description: New York Knicks PHIL JACKSON Mitchell & Ness Special Edition white Men XL. Rare Phil Jackson jersey in commemoration of the Knicks’ last title in 1973, during which Hall of Fame Bulls and Lakers coach Phil Jackson was a Knicks Forward. In 1967, Jackson was drafted in the second round by the New York Knicks. While he was a good all-around athlete, with unusually long arms, he was limited offensively but compensated with intelligence and hard work on defense. Jackson eventually established himself as a fan favorite and one of the NBA's leading substitutes, although he had very little playing time. He was a top reserve on the Knicks team that won the NBA title in 1973. Jackson did not play during New York's 1969–70 championship season due to spinal fusion surgery; however, he authored a book entitled Take It All, a photo diary of the Knicks' 1970 championship run. Soon after the 1973 title, several key starters retired, creating an opening for Jackson in the starting lineup. In the 1974–75 NBA season, Jackson and the Milwaukee Bucks' Bob Dandridge shared the lead for total personal fouls, with 330 each. Jackson lived in Leonia, New Jersey, during this time.
