Jackson wants this one bad, and he wants it in Boston so he can light a cigar in the Garden like Red used to.
He and Red never liked each other, Red made some comments a few years back how Jackson doesn't stick with a team when they get bad and try and rebuild, how he was just picking and choosing a team that would win and make more money, where Red turned down a lot of money from the Knicks to stay with Boston.
Also in fairness the "player coach" championships were as much Red as they were Rusell or Heinson.
