No matter how you look at it, Phil Jackson is the most successful head coach in NBA history. The argument has been made that he only won his record 11 NBA championships because of the massive talent he had on the respective rosters of the Chicago Bulls<\/a> and Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> but that's just preposterous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, he certainly did have some amazing talent on his teams over the course of 20 years but the Zen Master was able to get the most out of that talent. There's a reason that guys like Michael Jordan<\/a> and Kobe Bryant never won a championship without him. Phil Jackson was able to somehow manage all the big names (which also bring big egos) he had on his teams over the years and make it all work. We've been able to see how he did that during “The Last Dance”<\/a> docuseries on ESPN and it's only made him look even more impressive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So with Phil Jackson back in the limelight a bit with “The Last Dance,” I thought it might be fun to put together an all-time team of those who played for Phil Jackson. I did set some rules here though. To be included, a player must have played more than one year for Phil, which is why you won't see Karl Malone or Gary Payton. Geez, just imagine if I did include those guys. In addition, I'll only be looking at stats for each player while he was playing for Phil Jackson. Even with those little rules, the team I've assembled here is simply amazing and the numbers are mindblowing. Honestly, it was hard to cut some guys when I got to the bench. But here you go, the all-time Phil Jackson team, a team that would likely go 82-0 in an NBA season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
