Heat will still have an * in the Sports History Books.
That's not an asterisk, one of your tears smeared the ink.
Phil's championship ladder...is built off the back of 4 of the greatest 30 players to ever play the game...
How convenient that we all seem to forget what Phil accomplished as a coach WITHOUT these players
How convenient that Phil is never around when a team has to rebuild
Yet somehow Pop has coached the Spurs for 18 years and only had to rebuild in his first year
Pop is still competing for titles right now...still winning coach of the year awards right now
Phil is going to spend the summer groveling for a fat, overweight, ball stopping undersized power forward who has never won anything to stay on his team
Pop built an organization and a dynasty...and the spurs are a dynasty, you don't compete for titles for 17 years, win 4, and NOT be a dynasty
Phil just stepped in and moved some furniture around
No MJ you stand here and Pippen you stand here...perfect, now we can win
No Kobe you stand here and Shaq you stand here...perfect, now we can win
Phil could have won more rings...
But he wasn't good enough to keep Shaq and Kobe together...
Had two all time greats in their primes on one team...and let one of them walk
You think Pop let's an all time great walk
Timmy says no...David Robinson says no...Timmy was oh so close to going to Orlando with Mcgrady and Grant Hill but Pop wouldn't allow that to happen
Pop got 2 former assistants head coaching gigs this year just off the strength of them being "under the tutelage of Pop"
How many coaches under Phil went on to be head coaches
Phil or Pop/ You can make great case for either one being better...BUT you broke it down with intelligence and scholarship.
when did this happen? If anything the pistons did in 2004..even though kobe shot them out of the series shooting 38%.
and Shaq not playing D and rebounding or working hard to get block to block, Shaq getting tired in the 2nd half, Malone going down or just the Pistons being the better team.
