In the Zen Master’s defense, he is up there in age, but there’s no excuse for getting caught dozing off during an important workout with a top prospect.
Falling is asleep is Jackson’s thing, but according to Jay Williams of ESPN via a top-15 prospect, Jackson was observed falling “in and out” of sleep during an important workout.
“A top-15 draft pick told me the other day — because we were involved in this conversation about Phil Jackson and the Knicks — he said Phil Jackson was falling in and out of sleep during my workout,” Williams said “Yes. ‘Falling in and out of sleep at my workout.’ This is what this guy told me.”
Williams made the claim during Thursday’s "Outside the Lines" on ESPN.
