Nah, breh, I know about Tex.
I'm giving Phil props for having the balls to use it and he obviously used it well.
Why Do People Think Phil Jackson Can Fix Every Team?

He has let espn be his agent the past few years. It has blown up in his face badly twice now though. Thought he was getting that Knicks job, they never called his ass, hired someone else, then he had to scramble and say he never wanted the job in the first placeThen he thought he was getting that Lakers job and overplayed the fukk out of his hand
Can't wait for round 3.
The ball is still in his court though. Every team in the league except SA, BOS, and LA (unless his broad takes over) would throw their coach off a building in favor of Phil. The Lakers and Knicks actually did him a favor. Price will only go up after this, especially if the Lakers miss the playoffs. It's not like he's desperate or anything. He can afford to sit back and wait for the perfect situation.
....I mean, ain't really nothin' else to it.
nikkas can talk all that "all-star players" shyt all they want, that doesn't GUARANTEE you're gonna go out and win, let alone win 11 'ships...and to suggest otherwise is just idiotic.
After the pistons took care of the lakers he left and then wrote a book
Then comes back and the lakers blow a 3-1
Then the next year lose in the playoffs again
Then gets blown out by over 39 points in a game 6 nba finals game
Then wins 2 chips
Then gets swept by the mavs and retires again
I dont know why everybody think phil can magically turn a team into a championship team overnight
he definitely cant fix the NETS. that team is garbage.

No doubt. He won big by not having to sign his name to this train wreck of a season.

What Larry Brown did in 2004 surpasses anything Phil did.
He won a championship with ZERO hall of famers on his squad... Who else did it?

Pretty much. Look at the trailblazers back in the early 00s, that squad was incredible, but Dunleavy couldn't get them a title. I remember Phil said, "if I had that team, I'd go 82-0". I believe Red Auerbach was critical of Jackson also, saying he always inherited the best talent.

No kobe though?
. You dont win in this league with a great player and a gm or narket/tradition capable of bringing in the right talent to go around them.After the pistons took care of the lakers he left and then wrote a book

The Pistons were in their prime while the Lakers made last effort for a ring. The team had no bench, a lot of drama, and you know you're in trouble when Slava is playing big minutes. The Lakers would've beaten the Pistons with a healthy Malone, healthy Kobe, and a in shape Shaq.
They blew a 3-1 lead because they had Smush and Kwame in the starting lineup. What does it tell you that he was able to make them a playoff team with the exact same team while someone like Rudy T could not? The Lakers were one rebounding away from winning the series. How can you knock them when the Suns had a prime Nash, prime Marion, and prime Stat.
Again, the team that played the Suns the next year was almost the same team.
That year the Celtics were just better than anyone in the league.
They got swept by the champs. I think that year the Lakers had won the regular season series against the Mavs. The Lakers peaked way too soon (March) while the Mavs were just starting to peak in the playoffs. How can you fault them when the Lakers had been deep in the playoffs for two years? They had less time to recover for the next season and at the end of the series with the Mavs they looked flat and tired.
Phil can get the best out of his players. If Phil is not that good... tell me why other coaches were not able to do the same with the same teams? Phil got the best from Kobe, Shaq, Luke, Lamar, Bynum, Pau, Fisher, etc. Phil is the perfect coach for a team that just needs a push to win a championship. If Phil was coaching the Thunder they would win the championship this year.
So winning one ring is better than winning 11 rings? Damn, that's stupid.
If Larry Brown was so good then tell me why he flopped every where else he went. How come the Pistons could not repeat?
So Larry Brown did not have any all stars on his team. Larry Brown beat an injured team with two of their starters injured with no bench or depth.

Do you know how that Detroit team was built? The Pistons were already molded by Rick Carlisle to win a title before the Pistons hired Brown for the coaching job. In fact, they made it to the conference finals before they won the title. Rasheed was the missing piece that they needed to win it all.
