It's ok to diss players or etc.. but saying that Phil Jackson can't coach is just a stupid statement.
when shaq moved to the lakers he had to grow into his prime. shaq being in his prime and phil jackson being with the lakers were coincidents.

Triangle offense my foot. With Pippen's 7ft arm span span that gave Stockton, Harper, Mark Jackson, Payton and all those other point guards trouble. that left jordan with room to do damage. Triangle offense or not. Jordan dominates on the offensive end, and pippen shuts down the point guard for the other team. And horace grant or Rodman gets all the rebounds whoever is playing power forward.

Phil Jackson's triangle offense is as effective as how the lakers are presently effective. IT SUCKS and it's of NO CONSEQUENCE. its like people chosing their girlfriend's and mother birthdays when they play the lotto. at times the lotto will have those numbers but that doesn't mean those numbers are in any way lucky.

And I'm not dissing Phil Jackson. All I'm saying is that he can't coach, and Avery Johnson is the real deal. Phil Jackson is like Byron Scott. Remember when Byron Scott got NJ with Jason Kidd as point guard, and everyone thought he was a great coach. fact is that it was jason kidd who was running that team. Now Byron Scott is with the Hornets and he regularly stinks up the joint.
