Jay-Z’s ‘roast’ of Phil Jackson during LeBron James presentation was average at best (Video)

While the world is going bananas over Jay-Z’s burning of Phil Jackson during LeBron James‘s SI presentation, we are here to calm you down.

Really? This is what all the fuss was about? [sc name=”Knicks Center Right” ]

It seems the entire world, entire Twitter-world, especially, has gone nuts over nothing. When Jay-Z presented LeBron James with Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year award, he slipped in a Phil Jackson “burn” in the direction of Phil Jackson (video above).

If this is a burn or a roast, we completely suck.

First of all, many are down on LeBron’s insensitivity to the word. He knows Jackson’s life, history and career in basketball. When has the man ever shown a racist bone in his body? Carmelo Anthony, his own player, could have provided Jax a break as well.

At the same time, Jax, upon hearing the reaction from James and his camp, should have apologized immediately thereafter.

But come on, this Jay-Z thing is elementary, at best. He’s simply reading from his phone, very casually presenting a once highly thought of award.

By the way, here’s a Tweet from owner Sean Carter when he arrived on the Big Apple basketball scene:

The city is under new management.

Damn, that’s embarrassing.

When did everybody suddenly become so sensitive in today’s world? That’s the most embarrassing thing.
