    Lebron thinks if his group were white Phil wouldn't have used the word posse. I don't think Phil meant it in a bad way but Lebron may have a point.

    I just lost what little respect I had for him. What a p***y

    I've never heard posse used as a racial slur. I just thought it was a dumb 90s/00's way to describe a group of friends you're constantly around especially regarding celebs

    Phil ever talk about his own posse? Any of the owner's Posses? What about Luke Walton's Posses?

    What other set of grown business men has he referred to as a 'Posse'?
    Inquiring minds want to know.

    Who seriously cares?? Phil Jackson is an arrogant prick just trying to start **** with LeBron, and LeBron took the bait because he's LeBron. Phil Jackson isn't racist, but he is a dick. This is what he does. People need to chill out and move on.

    He's not even close to being a d!ck... He's trying to change a franchise with a horrible contract in Carmelo Anthony... Anthony is a cancer anywhere he goes.

    What does that have to do with this though? Jackson comes off as a pompous ass in every interview he gives.

    But yes, I agree about Anthony. He's my absolute least favorite player in the league, and he honestly seems like a garbage teammate.

    What is the evolution, is it:

    Friends -> Circle -> Bunch -> Gang -> Posse -> Wolfpack -> Crew -> Entourage -> Business Associates -> Organization -> Conglomorate

    Isn't a posse a reference to a sheriff and his men?

    I think Peeps is the secret girl code for the group of guys that have been friend zoned but who still think they have a chance. They continue to flatter, boost her ego, and buy her stuff. You'll notice most girls say they love their peeps. But nobody loves peeps. Nobody. Let's be real. This is code and I broke it. So when they make movies about how men won the war of the sexes, their will be the guy that invented pole dancing workouts and me. And I fully expect Cumberbach to win an Oscar in his portrayal.

    Phil Jackson rode on the coattails of Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Kobe, and Shaq.

    Just saying.

    For all who says it has no racial basis. Show me a time when a public figure refers to white businessmen as somebodies posse.

    You have it the other way around, if you are in entertainment or sports, the people that tag along you are all called posses no matter what race.

    Here is Justin Bieber's Posse

    Here's DiCaprio's p***y Posse
