Jackson is wearing his fleet of NBA Championship rings. In a viral video rumored to draw publicity to his his forthcoming book about his coaching career, titled "Eleven Rings: the Soul of Success," Jackson kids that his rings are getting in the way of tweeting. "I should take these off," Jackson said as he holds up his hands to show a fist full of rings. The 2007 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame inductee's verified account, which bears the handle @PhilJackson11, collected more than 140,000 followers in 24 hours, according to The Point Forward.
