Phil Jackson: 60 is the new 50

Phil Jackson was asked whether this two-year extension would be the last contract he ever signed, which was a clever way of asking him whether he planned to retire after the 2010 season, when he'd be 64.

Phil, as usual, didn't take the bait.

``Maybe the 60s in this era are the 50s in another era. Maybe I can go on into my 70s, but I don't think so. ... I can hardly keep up with these kids anymore. I can hardly speak their language as it is.''
