Did Phil Jackson meet his expectations as an NBA player?

Just for a little fun. Most of you never saw him play. I remember a little about his career. He was lucky enough to play for a good Knicks team as a back up to Willis Reed and he did win a ring with he Knicks. But just like coaching he was surrounded by Hall of Famers and great players along with Reed such as Frazier, Monroe, Barnett, Lucas and Bradley. He wasn't terrible but if he coached himself I'm sure he wouldn't get the playing time he did with the Knicks if that makes sense. I'm going to be fair about it and say he met expectations. It's kind of hard to judge his career but for some reason he thinks he's an expert on Duke basketball players.You may want to look up his college and pro career to get a feel for it. OFC

He was the 17th pick and after reviewing his career NBA stats I had to change my vote and check Did not meet expectations. Career 6.7 ppg and 45 per cent field goal percentage from a big man. Horrible. On second thought if Phil coached a player like himself he would have cut him. OFC

Haha, I'm waiting for him to show some potential as a Knicks exec.
