Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson became the champion of champions in his profession by capturing a NBA record tenth title. The Zen Master marked the occasion by wearing a yellow “Malcolm X” cap drawing attention to the Roman numeral of his acheivement. Always noted for his appreciation for literature and eastern philosophy, Jackson was interviewed in 2004 on KPFK by Alan Minsky and Mark Torres. The free speech radio station dug a little deeper by asking him a question about the Bush-Kerry elections. The following is just an excerpt of an at length 45 minute interview with Jackson about the Lakers, meditation, politics and his book “The Last Season.”
