They're also responsible for some of the BEST offenses ever, including the #1 all-time rated offense. Winning a championship isn't what decides if your great or not. Tom Thibbideau is a great coach. George Karl is a great coach. Rick Adelman is a great coach. The list can go on and on and on. D Antoni is up there with them.
D'Antoni was a great coach with his personnel in phx..helps when Nash is basically an assistant coach PG playing to an MVP standard..Phil would've definitely taken the lakers further last year given his ability to handle egos etc, D'Antoni never seemed to figure it out
I'd love to see him coach the Heat. Lebron has only had decent defensive coaches like Mike Brown and Spo. I'd love to see how Phil could expose Lebron's offensive talent's and make the game easier for him.
Wow! Phil Jackson sure speaks slow. He was in discussion with the Knicks since after this interview he signed a 5 year $60 million contract. Definitely Phil Jackson is a genius to win 11 NBA Championships. Yes he had Jordan and Kobe but having a superstar never guaranteed wins.
Ok your overblowing the negatives of D Antoni. He's a great coach, introduced a revolutionary style to the NBA, and went deep into the playoff's. I don't think that Phil could've coached the Laker's out of the 1st round last season any better than Jackson couldve.
I respect and love phil jackson but either he doesn't say what he really thinks about Jordan and Lebron or he doesn't have a consistent opinion because he always changes his mind...maybe he is playing mind game again...
Carlos Luis Syquia Kobe has a better career than Mike, better longevity regular season career with 1 team, better playoff career, and better All star career.
Just shows that you don't understand greatness at all. I got Kobe over Mike, because of the reasons above, also Kobe is 5-3 vs Mike, Mike never beaten Kobe in consecutive games, and Kobe is the best laker ever over Magic, many edges on Bird, Russell, Lebron, Kareem, Shaq, I have my reasons.
Kobe played in the NBA when the talent was much higher than during Jordan's time. I doubt if Jordan's best Bull team could beat even an non-playoff NBA team during Kobe's time. Without question, Kobe was a much better shooter than Jordan.
Wow not winning a 3 peat isn't your favourite ring??? Hmmm ok. You were 3 seconds away from pheonix taking you down in 93. If that paxson shot doesn't fall no way u win game 7
Things for LBJ to be a better player than Jordan; not possible the game today is weak and if it keeps acting like NBA players are above playing tough it's gonna die. LBJ would be an average player in the 90's.
How stupid is Jim Buss? Laker fans are justified to be outraged with the direction and leadership of the team. The great mistake of Jerry Buss was giving his son the reins. Probably should have gone with Jeanie.
Well, he is NOT a great coach and yes, while some of his teams went deep into the NBA playoffs, they're also responsible for the WORST defenses EVER!!!! Plus, he has NEVER won a Championship...smh...gtfo
