@rdsxn2434 Phil Jackson never picked players in the draft like Red Auerbach did, Auerbach made the Celtics from the 80's in 3 days, he just picked Larry Bird number 6 of 1979 NBA draft when everybody was saying that guy couldn't run, couldn't jump, etc. then he just got Robert Parish from the Warriors and number 2 pick to get Kevin McHale. Auerbach made the best constructed teams in NBA history, 1960's, 1973 Celtics, 1986 Celtics. The Lakers got better talent but the Celtics were better teams.

@RealDeal336 Phil Jackson? You must say Tex Winter, Jackson without Winter would be bullcrap, Red did it all alone, best coach, best manager and most knowledgeable person in basketball ever. Period.
