He’s not even the best coach in the NBA right now. He’s solid, but cmon. Adrian Wojnaadslkfahrgu at yahoo thinks this win by Phil Jackson “ends the debate.” Um, between Red Auerbach and Phil Jackson? Yeah, there is no debate. Red is better. That’s just dumb.
Adrian. Yo Adrian, ya know who is a better coach than Phil Jackson? Greg Popovich. That one might be worthy of a debate, but in the end, Greg wins. Relatively easily I might add. Winning the championships he did with those players? Bruce Bowen was never a good player. Just because Phil Jackson was better than Doug Collins at using Jordan to win games doesn’t mean he’s the greatest coach of all time.
Jerry Sloan is miles ahead of Jackson as well.
Real quick– Red Auerbach was…
-the first coach to start five black players
-the only coach to win eight straight championships
-not the guy who rode Michael Jordan to 6 finals wins (and not the guy who couldn’t win in 1995 with Jordan in the playoffs)
-a man so far ahead of his time (he hated flopping 40 years ago!) it renders this whole argument stupid
I feel I’ve given this topic too much credit by writing this many words.
