Greatest coach of all time. Thanks Phil, for sharing with us all these championships and emotions as a fans.

"who could have been more fortunate than I was to have stumbled iinto this kind of success" - hats off, dude.
-
Mike refused to play for anyone else, dennis considered him a father figure. Really speaks volumes about the guy
-
"My mother was probably the most competitive person I've ever known or coached." Coming from the dude who coached MJ, all I'm saying is big Phil's mother must have been a BEAST.

One of the greatest coaches to ever grace the league, or any sport for that matter.

Anyone else binge watching these speeches? I've watched a dozen or so these past couple days. My favorite part for Phil's speech was that you could tell how much he loves that poem, the fact his son wrote it and that it meant a great deal to him.

Nothing against the other top coaches In the league; but none has done what Phil, has done! He is by far my favorite coach!! What a great speech!! 👍🏀💯🏀👍💖

Phil is so chill, I love it

I believe he's the greatest NBA coach of all time. Pop was incredible and didn't have stacked teams, but Jackson got 3x threepeats, AND 1x repeat, 11 rings spanning 1991-2010. That's incredible, Jordan & Shaq & Kobe or not.
-
Phil Jackson, as a coach, won 11 NBA Titles, and two as a player. So... He's got 13 rings. Damn.
-
When the Zen master talks, everybody listens. No clapping, no interruptions. They are just there to absorb all the knowledge...
-
Greatest coach of all time thank you for everything you did for the Lakers The Zen Master Phil Jackson you are always a legend in the game of basketball. You definitely deserve a statue outside of the Staples Center.

He just exudes self-confidence in everything he does; literally in every step he takes, and every word he says. That's what made him the coach he was and why any team even close to thinking they could contend should do anything to try and bring him out of retirement. He's, simply, a fucking BOSS, in modern parlance.
