Phil Jackson<\/a>, who won 11 NBA titles as a head coach (and two as a player), was lucky enough to coach some of the greatest players in history, most notably Michael Jordan<\/a> and Scottie Pippen with the Chicago Bulls and then Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant<\/a> with the Los Angeles Lakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, in a fantasy world where Jackson could construct his all-time dream team, one would think he'd take Jordan with his first pick, right? After all, many consider MJ to be the greatest basketball player in history. He and the Zen Master had a great relationship<\/a> during their time together in the Windy City. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan won six titles together with the Chicago Bulls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
