Phil Jackson told the world he would retire at the end of the season. I think we've all heard that one before. But after the Lakers got swept by Dallas, Jackson may have coached his last game. If so, where will he ranked among the best coaches ever?
Its tough to say with him, because he never had a bad team to coach. He always had superstars-Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal. I think I could win a few games if I were coaching those guys! Basically, you stay out of their way.
He won a lot of games and won a lot of titles, but with those guys, isn't that expected? How much of it was coaching?
I really wanted to see what he could do if he were coaching the Clippers. Then we would see if he was the Zen-master, all-knowing coaching guru, or if he was just a guy in the right place at the right time(s).
I guess we'll never get to find out...
