On September 18, NBA legendary coach and "Zen master" Phil Jackson ushered in his 77th birthday, and his former fiancée and Lakers beauty boss Jenny Bass celebrated his birthday on social media.
In 1999, Lakers owner Jerry Bath's daughter, 38-year-old Jenny Bass, and 54-year-old Lakers head coach Phil Jackson's relationship came to light.
At that time, the Zen master negotiated divorce with his second wife, who had been married for 27 years and bore him 4 children. At that time, Jackson came to the Lakers to coach, fell in love with Jenny Bass at first sight, and soon invited her to dinner.
Jenny Bath was dating the team manager, and Daddy Jerry Bath was certainly looking in the eye. When Jenny confessed her love affair with the Zen master to her father, Old Bass calmly responded: "I already knew that you would date a man older than you." You will always date men who appreciate you. ”
The next two spent the next few hours together, and Zen master took Jenny Bass on a motorcycle ride to travel around the world and spend a month of happy hour in Jackson Hills in Montana.
In the May 2011 Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers were swept 0-4 by the Mavericks, and Jackson announced his retirement. During the 2012 Christmas holidays, the Zen master suddenly knelt down and proposed to Jenny, and the Laker princess agreed, and the two put on a couple ring.
In January 2013, Jenny Bass posted a huge diamond ring on her left ring finger, which Jackson handed over, and Jenny Bass excitedly wrote: "Phil finally gave me the ring I wanted!" ”
In 2014, Zen master became the president of Knicks operations in New York, Zen master friend Charley Rosen said in an interview with the New York Post that he and Jenny Bass had advised Zen master not to accept the position of president of the Knicks, after all, Jenny Bass has become the owner of the Lakers, so the two will become competitive opponents.
On December 28, 2016, Jenny Bass broke off her marriage with Zen Master, who was 55 years old at the time and Zen Master 71.
After breaking up with Zen Master, Jenny Bass has never had an open relationship and has focused on the operation of the Lakers, and now she is also one of the best bosses in the NBA, and led the Lakers to regain the championship in 2020, realizing the last wish of her father, Old Bath.
