Report: Mark Jackson tried to poison Warriors against Festus Ezeli

Mark Jackson AP
Mark Jackson took an us-against-the-world approach while coaching the Warriors.
That’s hardly unusual.
What set Jackson apart is how extremely he took the strategy. Often, it seemed Golden State’s own management was the “world” and only Jackson and the players were the “us.”
But maybe it was even MORE outrageous, to the point an injured Festus Ezeli became the “them.”
Zach Lowe of ESPN:
When Ezeli was injured last season, Jackson and his staff told the healthy players that Ezeli was cheering against them — so that he would look good, according to several team sources. Players confronted Ezeli in a meeting, and he wept at the accusation — which he denied.
I suppose it’s possible Ezeli actually cheered against his own team. But given what we know about him and Jackson, I doubt it.
More likely, this was just a cheap motivational trick on Jackson’s part – which is a shame.
It puts Ezeli in an impossibly unfair spot. Jackson is too good a motivator to resort to garbage like that, but sometimes his paranoia takes over.
Jackson doesn’t get enough credit for improving the Warriors’ defense. He probably wouldn’t have led them to a championship like Steve Kerr did, but Jackson put them on the right track.
However, there were too many unnecessary problems in Golden State of Jackson’s own creation. Even though he can do good things as a coach, that’s going to make other teams be wary of hiring him
I love it. His Spiderman motivational speech monologues were so cringe worthy in the huddle.Jackson is so salty on the inside it is hilarious
There ain't no CGI there. Boozer showed him the way.Used more CGI than Jurassic Worldcant wait for the trainwreck b roll where lebron is seen doing all his scenes wearing a green skull cap

to be fair, this isn't much of a report. More of a opinion piece with some iffy bald headed source.Is there anyone else that is even comparable to Woj when it comes to he NBA off-season/draft?
The Schefter of the NBA no doubt ... he might even be bigger and better I feel like he is so far ahead of everyone else in his line of work.

And Woj's record on non-news reporting is a little bit checkered....
I might just light myself on fire. Probably less painful than being a Kings fan
