He didn't get those players on accident? WTF are you talking about?
That he "willed" those players to himself with psychic powers, or are you saying that Jordan wouldn't have been a superstar if Jackson wasn't his coach?

So why wasn't he the best last year? Why was an inferior coach like Doc Rivers able to win a title even though Jackson had basically the same team last year that he had this year?
My point is simply that Jackson won 9 rings with teams that had Michael Jordan or Shaq, in their prime. Any coach could have won multiple championships with those players.
Doc Rivers isn't considered one of the great coaches in basketball, but he won a ring last year and will probably win one next year. Is that because he's a "guru" or is it because Garnett, Allen, and Pierce are the most dominant threesome in basketball the way Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman were in their day?
Personally, I think that a guy like Larry Brown is a better coach, although he unfortunately suffers from the same disease that plauges the Saban family.
