Last night, Lebron James was named as Sports Illustrated’s “Sportsperson Of The Year” and rightfully so. He has done so much in the past year from speaking out on social issues, sending more than 1,000 kids to college, donating more money and his time to numerous causes and he does it all with a huge smile. While the night was all about Bron, Jay Z, who was there to introduce him to the crowd, took a moment to throw a shot at Phil Jackson during his speech.

Jay Z described James as “the son who honors and worships his mother, Gloria. The friend who put his posse in position.” The crowd laughed when the rapper referenced the term.

“We know where we come from. We do understand where we come from,” Jay Z said. “The only difference between us and someone who has their MBA from Wharton or Sloan or Berkeley or Stanford is opportunity. LeBron James has provided his friends with that opportunity, and we’ve witnessed their development. And if we’re to look up at the scoreboard, very few businessmen are better than Maverick Carter, Rich Paul, Randy Mims and all the rest of the posse behind the scenes that make it look like they’re just hanging out.”

Jackson is still dealing with the aftermath of his “posse” comment, which he made last month in regards to how Lebron was when he was with the Heat.

“It had to hurt when they lost LeBron,” Jackson said. “That was definitely a slap in the face. But there were a lot of little things that came out of that. When LeBron was playing with the Heat, they went to Cleveland, and he wanted to spend the night. They don’t do overnights. Teams just don’t. So now [coach Erik] Spoelstra has to text [Pat] Riley and say, ‘What do I do in this situation?’ And Pat, who has iron-fist rules, answers: ‘You are on the plane. You are with this team.’ You can’t hold up the whole team because you and your mom and your posse want to spend an extra night in Cleveland.

Jackson never apologized but did acknowledge he could’ve chosen another word looking back. “The obvious thing is the word itself carries connotation. And I just don’t understand that, that part of it — the word. So I guess word choice could be something I could regret. But talking about other teams’ players, that’s out of the box.”
