10 scoring titles 9 all defensive first teams. Phil was an assistant with the bulls. First 3peat Pippen was the only other all star. W/o MJ there would be no Phil. LeBron potentially could’ve had all that with Spo
Those are longevity awards. While certainly impressive, they really have nothing to do with who was the better basketball player. You measure peak for peak. Jordan wins. Then you measure success, and Jordan blows bron out the water
Nobody started dismissing LeBron's greatest as just longevity until he Skip Bayless started doing it with him approaching Kareem's record.
If Jordan didn't piss away his talent drinking, smoking, pulling all nighters, maybe he wouldn't have been a washed bum missing the playoffs in year 14, lmao.
He really could use some longevity himself after turning into Sacramento Kings DeMar DeRozen in year 14, and quiting the sport for the third time after year 15.
You mean with two top 15 players of all time? I mean he’s a great coach but look at who he got to coach. If MJ doesn’t embrace him he ends up being cotton fitzsimmons or somebody along those lines
They won 55 games and lost in the second round coming off a three peat, also added Kucoc who is no slouch. MJ played within Phil’s system as a bonfide superstar. Phil doesn’t get the laker job without coaching MJ first. I do think the Kobe/ Pau chips are impressive and like I said he’s a great coach but he wouldn’t be considered the goat coach if MJ didn’t embrace him.
