Henderson all grown up

You know I was thinking about it and realized that Phil Jackson might not be as great a coach as they have him out to be. Sure enough he has a very good record and numerous championships but what has he accomplished without the most dominant players of their time.

Firstly, he has six championships with the Bulls. I would credit that to the talent of Michael Jordan. When Michael went into early retirement, the Bulls weren’t able to go anywhere in the playoffs.

Secondly, he has 3 with the Lakers. I credit that to the dominance of Shaq and the then backup power of Kobe.  Since the Diesel left, the Lakers have missed the playoffs and crashed out of the first round. Its strange that the first time that Kobe won the MVP its the first time that the Lakers are returning to the finals.

If Jackson didn’t have MIchael and Shaq, he’d probably be without a championship ring.
