re: #265 Belafon
Which is why the Lakers won with Bryant before Jackson showed up and continued winning after Jackson left. //
Jackson, in my opinion, is one of those rare coaches that can get great players to play on a team, where most of them would rather play and hope the other teammates can keep up.
That’s fair. Don’t get me wrong, he belongs in the HOF and is a great coach but to me someone like Popovich impresses me more since he’s done what he’s done with a smaller payroll and less star power.
