Let me ask you a question freeman, do you discount Joe Torres track record with the great yankee teams of the late 90's and early 2000??? Coaches with great players have to be able to do one thing, manage the personalities on that team. Coach Jackson has not only done that, it's what he's built his career on. Winning championships are a team effort, and when I say team I mean everybody from the front office down to the 3 string players. Yes he was fortunate to have some great players, but he got them to play in his system, to maximize their value. You don't just win championships because you have great players, there needs to be chemistry and focus. Two things that Phil preaches to his players to take them to the next level. He is the one who helped develop the Michael Jordan's of the world, the Kobe Bryants, the Scottie Pippens, and so on and so on. So give some credit where credit is due, the man is a great coach, perhaps the greatest of all time.
