The respected New York Knicks playing career of Phil Jackson is a distant forgotten memory nowadays in comparison to his dreadful tenure as team president. It seems like every time the name Phil Jackson is referenced in the media there is a strong chance it's something negative. The ironic thing about all the bad press is that it's self inflicted from the former multiple time NBA coach of the year providing too much information for the public's consumption. The team president currently trying to

how’s it goink?” Phil Jackson tweeted in May of 2015. Many men came before Jackson in trying to resurrect a franchise in one of the largest markets in the country. Each failed miserably. That was our context heading in. Having all the information and historical data available at our fingertips, everyone knew there was almost no way Jackson’s marriage to the New York Knicks could have ended in anything other than disaster. And still, a vast portion of us ignored that. Jackson aged, poorly, and

Phil Jackson Being known as one of the greatest in your craft is something that many people strive for; Phil Jackson has achieved that while staying true to his beliefs and overcoming one of the greatest pains a person can know. His actions, behaviors, and decisions while coaching the Chicago Bulls and LA Lakers define him as both a visionary and an ethical leader.

great leaders. They each are three excellent coaches of dominate teams in the sports industry.

Kristaps Porzingis When the New York Knicks hired Phil Jackson to run all basketball operations in 2014, they took a step in the right direction to build a winning organization from the ground-up. The Knicks’ management made this decision knowing that it would take multiple years before they return to a championship contender again, even though they committed roughly $124 million to an impatient and aging star in Carmelo Anthony. Just a year removed from those events and a historically bad season

Phil Jackson is one of the greatest basketball minds of all time without a question. A great defensive player in his time and an extremely successful coach, winning eleven championships? Phil Jackson won five championships with the Lakers and six championships with the Bulls. Now that’s the full package if you ask me. I guarantee that he will go down as one of the all-time greats and there is nothing that will change my mind about that. Relentlessness. When I think of relentlessness, I think of

strategy on the fly, and his absence led the Knicks to an embarrassing loss. In addition to his absence it was reported by multiple outlets that he’s seeking a five year 150 million dollar contract this off-season.

Legacy There is absolutely no doubt that Phil Jackson’s lasting impact to the sport of basketball will remain throughout history. He has led a few of the teams that are usually mentioned in the list of the best teams of all time, and arguably the best among them all, the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls. This team set a regular season record of 72 wins that has never been broken and only four teams have since come close with 67 or more wins. Those teams were the 96-97 Bulls with 69 wins, the 99-00 Los Angeles
