Deion Sanders has made his Colorado Buffaloes the talk of college football. Shaquille O'Neal says Coach Prime reminds him of former Lakers coach Phil Jackson.
Shaquille O’Neal, right, shakes hands with Phil Jackson as Jeanie Buss and the Lakers retire O’Neal’s jersey April 2, 2013, at Staples Center.“I know exactly what the [Colorado] kids are going through because when you are standing in front of someone that has an impressive resume, and you’re trying to get to the level he get to, everything you say is golden,” O’Neal told TMZ. “I felt that way when Phil Jackson first came to the Lakers. Before he got there, me and Kobe, we got swept all the time.
“We know that this guy knows what he’s talking about. Everybody watched him win six rings in Chicago, he knows exactly what he’s talking about. So I know when the defense is listening to [Sanders], I know they’re locked in. I know when the offense is listening to him, they’re locked in.”
