funks 1 #1 June 4, 2004 So, is Phil Jackson a good coach or does he just appear to be good because he has always had the baddest ass ball players playing for him? How can you not win games when you have MJ, Scottie Pippen, Kobe, and Shaquille on your teams?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catfishhunter 2 #3 June 4, 2004 Great Coach. While Micheal was Great ,Scottie was nothing more then a Cry Baby with moderate talent. Phil Jackson Made Scottie appear to be better then he was. Yes I said Phil because it was his coaching scheme that allowed Scottie to appear as such a great player. He was good but not great by any stretch of the imagination. The Lakers had Shaq and Kobe long before Phil Came along. They did not win with them unti he got there. Phil Jackson is the difference between a very good team and a great team MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beowulf 1 #4 June 4, 2004 Kobe and Shaq couldnt beat MJ and Scottie. I don't think that Phil Jackson was the deciding factor, but he does have the highest Won/Lost percentage of any coach in the NBA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #5 June 4, 2004 Well said. I loved the Bulls when he coached them and have always been a Laker fan. I was very happy when they hiredhim and knew right away they would start winning championships again. I think Phil is not only a great coach, but he is very smart about the situations he lets himself get into. He always has the teams with the best players. Add his coaching talents and they win,win,win and maybe win again. I think the fact that he goes to teams that have talent already makes people doubt his coaching, ,but as you all ready said. The lakers had Shaq, Kobi, Fisher, Fox, Horry and a bunch of other with out Phil and they couldn't get it done. Phil comes along and BAM!!!!!!! WE are the champs again.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #6 June 4, 2004 Quote Kobe and Shaq couldnt beat MJ and Scottie. Kobe can hang with Mike and Shaq would break Scotty to pieces in the paint. I would like to see the four of them go at it if all where in there prime.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tunaplanet 0 #10 June 4, 2004 Dennis Rodman is one of the most underrated players I have ever seen. Never seen anyone rebound and play as hard and physical as he did. Too bad people only remember his extreme lifestyle and not his game. His "freakness" often overshadowed his b-ball talent. Forty-two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #11 June 4, 2004 I agree! Dennis was the best at what he did. Back when I used to make good money, I met him in New Port Beach a few times and was invited back to his house for a party. This was in his Heyday. It was incredible. Women, booze, loud music, killer house and lots of fun for all. I never made it upstairs, but that seems like that is where the really good stuff was going on. In hind site it is probably better I didn't make it up there.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
