@@Taireedillard All of Jordan's rings did come in the triangle under Phil. 91/92/93/96/97/98. Collins made that statement in 1988. Phil became coach in 1990 and brought the triangle with him.
Salley was partially right. Phil Jackson said the triangle was designed to get role players shots, not the stars. He said MJ could get any shot at any time, but the triangle allowed the role players to stay involved in the offense.

@pickledbeatz315 thing is jordan had an owner that wanted to win and at the time of the decision the douche who owns the cavs refused to invest he was happy with what he was making and once lebron went to Miami he promised to open up his wallet to get him back in Cleveland once Bron tool the crappy cavs to the finals before his heat run management expected him to keep doing that with G league talent around him
LMAO Jordan joined a provety franchise. Bulls were in the ECF Phil before Phil took over. Jordan took the Champs to six games with no All-Star caliber teammates. Imagine if he had Wade and bosh in 89 instead of a 2nd yr Pippen and Grant. The triangle isn't making the 24-Spurs a championship caliber team.
Phil was a new coach when began coaching Jordan. Riley was a new coach when he coached Magic, and Kerr was a new coach when he coached Curry. Bron isn’t the only player to win with new coaches. Also, Miami had a system when Bron played there.
@@Bestthingsince93 so we rewarding coaches for going to the finals and losing but insult lebron for going to 10 finals and losing 6. Please make it make sense
@JohnnytNatural They got the players he wanted. How do y'all forget. None of the players play their game. They wait til he runs the clock down & hr wants someone to make a shot with no rhythm & he plays no defense.. yikes!
Not impressive if all I have to do is truck my way to the rim for easy points or foul shots. And if they send extra defenders I’ll just throw it to my shooters standing in the corner so they can bail me out. Compared to , having a killer mentality and having multiple offensive options like ball handling, shooting 3s, post up, step back, finish at rim etc. I have a deeper bag AND I HAVE MORE CHIPS. I think that’s impressive
LeBron didn't have a system but kept top players around him. He didn't want a system he wants the ball in his hands and his competition in the same uniform.
Fam u saying Micheal Jordan was more unselfish then Micheal Jordan who blatantly ball hogged and shot his team out of playoff teams before Phil Jackson
And it’s because LeBron doesn’t have the skillset to play offball or in any system. I feel like the young LeBron in Cleveland was a beast tho…at some point it seemed he got lazy and just wanted to be surrounded by guys who could shoot because he just preferred to waltz around dictating offense and being lazy on defense. He went from being an exciting slashing, dunking guard/forward player to a slower, freight train-esque point/forward taking long jumpers or Karl Maloning his way to the rim…his skillset and versatility as a player imo got worse as he got older.

The main issue is LeBron had the option to have a system NUMEROUS times because Bron had heavy influence on coaching choices. And the one time he was in a system (Miami) he decided to leave. You can make the argument he chose this career.
Running in back with a injured miami heat squad that has a system or be the first player in your city’s history to bring a championship home which doesnt have a system but alot more potential than it did in the first stint? Im picking the second one too
I really don’t understand why nobody talks about that.. he literally picks the rookie coaches that coach his teams.. it’s always been his decision. He just doesn’t want a system.. he wants the top players, not the system
Phil Jackson was coaching in Mexico when the Bulls hired him to come and coach an already MVP/DPOY Michael Jordan. It was the fact that MJ listened and made everyone else fall in line that made it work. If he treated Phil the way LBJ treats ALL his coaches going back to HS, none of us would know who Phil was.
He's not completely wrong, just wrong about when Phil started with the bulls, but that's semantics to what he was saying. The rest of his point is valid, LeBron has never trusted or supported management & at times has actually actively worked against them or took responsibilities off them for himself. Le GM.
@@ajhaynes5721 Don’t muddy up the convo with semantics, Phil was a behind the bench asst that was hired because he was willing to run Tex Winters the triangle offense that Krause wanted to run and Doug Collins didn’t. Phil was no coaching prodigy. Krause just really liked him. Jordan and Kobe had to sacrifice numbers in order to win championships. Mike didnt like the system because he didn’t want to lose games with role players handling the ball too much and taking shots. He was hard on his teammates to step their game up instead of running to replace them. They eventually did and he won 6 chips because of it. Kobe bucked the system a lot the first 3 chips, but he stuck with it enough to win 5 chips.

Yes you are right, Jordan was still Jordan, although he got smarter over time the triangle was designed to take the weight off Jordan but with a triangle you gotta have the pieces, Scottie had to evolve, Kobe and Shaq, Kobe was always Kobe he was always gonna work hard so you right it didn’t enhance them cause they were going to work on their game anyway.
If the players around you play better it makes it easier for you to hoop with enhances you … example KD in golden state he was just as good before that but when you put him around lethal shooters now you either gotta leave Steph or klay or let kd go 1v1 and teams tried everything and you couldn’t stop it
@@aaotrey106 yeah that’s cause it was a system, in anything that you in life you have to have a system so you can stay on track it’s the same with the team, if you have a system it makes winning easy but that’s if you have player capable. A lot teams Bron right now isn’t in a system, their system is, shoot the 3 and give it to AD and Bron just fill in I’d say they need a coach that will come and just turn it around
This the most factual comment of the topic. The triangle prevented teams from loading up on mike, shaq and kobe. Period. It gave them space to go one v one
I thought players are compared based on individual skill and not team accomplishments or team effort. Lebrons does all...MJ doesn't. So who is better as an individual skill set. Look at individual stats and longevity..he still plays to date
@@edobwoy I'm no expert but I've watched them both at the prime of their careers and MJ never feared a soul...ever. Amongst other attributes I do not see in LeBron that I see in MJ I put MJ light years above LeBron though he is still exceptional in his own right.

It's data that can be verified so you are totally wrong.

Wait, Lebron was like Magic. Who was Magic’s coach when he won his championships? Pat Riley. When Lebron was in Miami whose system was he in? Pat Riley. If Lebron wanted to be a part of a winning system, he had one. He left it.
When LeBron joined the Lakers, Magic Johnson was the president of the team. They missed the playoffs, and Magic left his position. If LeBron for once would've taken responsibility of his team, he'd kept playing with Magic, then LeBron would have 10 rings.
Pat riley didn't coach the heat when bron was there fuck are you talking about. This is just like phil jackson with the knicks as the president... he didn't coach the players bruh... Jst because phil was a generational coach doesn't mean that system would translate to a newbie coach when he was a president.

@@IknowMoreThanYou He didn't have that his first 7 years though. To be fair LeBron had some bad luck too, he could be sitting on 6 or 7 rings now if A. His entire team wasn't injured in 2015, and B. KD didn't bandwagon the Warriors success (In an era that had refs discouraging defense) to create an unfair and non-competitive advantage, which was also enabled to happen by that offseason having a cap increase and Steph having a cheap contract at the time. 2017 and 2018 would have been a good competitive rivalry if KD didn't kill it
No he's just wrong. The phones from 20 years ago aren't as good as the phones now. It's the evolution of humans. Jordan was huge and that's cuz we didn't have social media and all that shit. Lebron has been so great during all this social media era and everything. It's so obvious lebron would have been better if you take him at age 26 and put him against Jordan.
BS .... You take LECHOKE at 26 and put him up against MJ he'll QUIT just like Musgy Bouges did. Wht y'all dnt wnt to Accept ADMIT or Deal With is the Simple fact tht the game is easier today, bcse if you take the LECHOKE who got SWEPT by DALLAS with the same Team and put them against the 91 PISTONS who MJ beat they wud be SWEPT AGAIN but if you take tht same 91 MJ and put them against the MAVS, yow the tbl will be Turned EASILY and hey amma play with my same Bulls Squad.
I dont if Rashad lacks understanding..What was pointed out is Kobe and Jordan worked in the ssytem, while Bron didnt and still excels. He enhanced his shooting, fadeaways, and took advantage of his athleticism. Even though Bron isnt in the system he won 4 championships..If he was with Phil, that 4 might be 8 then, inside a system.
Rashad tries to make points to discredit Bron, starts moving his hands and adding more points… eventually he just makes the case for the Bron being the GOAT. He should just start arguing that Bron is his GOAT… it’ll eventually lead to points strengthening Mike and Kobe’s cases.
@@jeffjohnsonization The initial point was made by John Salley, which means it's not true. LeBron played in a triangle offense at least during his second stint with the Cavs.
My new favorite is Gil restates macants argument, and then Brandon realizes how right Gil is, then kinda gets all excited but it’s like a chill excited.
Gil is totally wrong. If we wanna compare MJ and Lebron without a system, we should only compare the first few years of MJ and Lebron to balance out the longevity of Lebron.
Although I agree, you guys glossed over the fact of Lebron being in the eastern conference for most of his career. Put Kobe In the east during his prime with Kyrie/Love or D Wade/Bosh and he would've made just as many final appearances. He had much tougher comp in the west. This isn't a fair hypothetical for Lebron MJ, or Kobe. Let all 3 of them just be great
Kobe was never efficient Never lol even when he won finals mvp against the Celtics 2010 they gave it to him because it’s nobody else they could give it too without backlash Kobe won finals MVPs as the worst superstar to ever win with terrible shooting percentage
Kobe also went to a Top 2 franchise too and I think that's glossed over. Easier to recruit and get talent. Is it ironic when he left he went to a destination franchise in Miami? Easier to recruit to Miami LA over Cleveland
What they failed to mention that LeBron went to Miami and played under Coach Eric Spolstra along with D. Wade and Chris Bosche. Then went back to Cleveland and played with K. Love, K. Irving, JR Smith coached by Ty Lue. Then went to Lakers played with AD, D. Howard, Rajon Rondo, K. Kuzma, A. Caruso, M. Morris, Javale McGee and was also coached by Frank Vogel. In other words LeBron did play within a system with a few coaches.... But he did not play Tex Winters, Phil Jackson triangle system like MJ, Shaq and Kobe.
come on now bro ty lue and frank vogel are no where near a great of coach phil jackson is lmao you naming all the role players like JR smith kuzma caruso and Morris like they aren't interchangeable. those "systems" are no where near the systems Phil Jackson was cooking up.
@@restrelaxreset1469You have a point on that… but you forget that Bron did IN FACT HAVE a system with Coach Spo… small ball… which is to stretch out the big (Bosh) which isnt really a big… but it was to put Bosh in the corner 3… which worked… and with that system Bron was 2-1 because in 2011 that system didnt exist… So technically Bron has played within multiple systems and never won… even this postseason… Bron’s laker system was to mismatch hunt… pick and rolls until an offensive player has a weak defender to attack…
Eric S. Is the only coach you mentioned that was good and established when they got Lebron . And we saw what that was 4 Finals Appearances , Two Championships and 4 year run that ranks all time
The Warriors, Bulls and Lakers were a solid system because of the chemistry they had with players that played together for a long period of time along with great coaching.
There was no pressure to win like LeBron faced. LeBron was never given the luxury of time to build consistency because he was expected to win every year.
McCants takes about LeBron never make sense because he allows his personal dislike for LeBron to over shadow the point his trying to make. I don’t know if it’s just that he can’t articulate what he really means because he doesn’t have the words in his vocabulary but he continues to contradict himself whenever the discussion about “the greatest” is bought up…
The points I wish people would articulate is how he is the all time turnover leader, but is considered a "good" passer. How he can't shoot further than 3 feet from the basket and he has both taken and missed more shots that Kobe. How often n he complains to the refs and just doesn't play defense even going so far as to not run back on defense. How he doesn't play 82 games. I'm sure I can dig out more, but these are the main points.

True was MJ was just a stats guy until he paired with Phil. The gm revamped the locker room and Phil put in the triangle offense with his zen approach. All of that matters when it comes to winning

You can’t tell me none of these coaches wanted to implement some form of an offense that they can fall back on. It all changes when Bron comes to the team
He would have more rings if he didn't lose to the greatest starting lineup in NBA history. Kevin Durant going to the Warriors changed every single thing.
Oh don't forget he was in the finals at 22 and lost his two best teammates in 2015. That's why he don't got more rings but these ppl keep pushing narratives.
If the Warriors were so good how did James Harden with a injured Cp3 took them 7 games Patrick Beverly and Lou Williams role players took them 6 games but LeBron with a superteam couldn't even get you 2 games the warriors wasn't the best team ever the 96 Bulls are

Just making excuses for Lebron. I wonder how much money Klutch sports is paying Salley… John said it himself, he is making these statements to stay relevant…
LeBron doesn't have amazing fundamentals off ball lol. He loves the way he grew up playing in HS/AAU and is afraid of CHANGE as it makes him uncomfortable. That's why Spoelstra went to Chip Kelly to learn his Spread Offense & fundamentally change how bigs play for him to succeed. Not only that, the league literally dumbed down the rules to make it easier for perimeter players to succeed!
Salley dismissing Olajuwon's championship takes away his credibility. Also, no mention of Kareem in a GOAT discussion, further undercuts the discussion.
Salley isn't trying to diminish Hakeem championships because he believes the Bulls would've won those seasons if the GOAT didn't retire. MANY people believe that. Lol
Lebron does have a system. Erick Spoelstra gave it to him. It wasn’t till he got to Miami that his iq kicked in to play the game more methodical than out of pure athleticism. Just listen to his podcast with JJ…. Just because he didn’t play the Triangle doesn’t mean that he didn’t have a system.
born always been methodical Gil has even talked about the preparation and how he was dissecting film in the wizards series in bros first Cavs stint he didn't play off pure athleticism you don't average 7 assists a game off pure athleticism with a team that lacked real floor spacers and shot creators
LeFlop has a system Whining and flopping. He left in free agency and could have played for Phil Jackson, Steve Kerr or Popovich but choose to not to so he could get paid and play with other all stars.
What was the system? I watched the same podcast. I didn’t hear him say anything about a particular system. He talked about certain plays they ran. Maybe I missed it. What system did they run?
Gils arguement about bron still doing well without a system is weak. It’s not like he was winning with traditional teams he was the catalyst for teams stacking the deck in the modern nba.
Comparing lebron to an independent artist is insane he had the most help and ran offense how he wanted. He didn’t have a system bc he didn’t want to be in one.
He had a system in Miami. Pat Riley's system. He left because he wants to be the system.... And as we can see him being the system doesn't work. Second greatest player my ass only player in the top ten with more finals losses than wins. Played with with more HOF all stars and superstars than both Kobe and Jordan combined..
Skills meaning shooting ability, handles, can get to any spot he wants n score. Great free throw shooter, 3pt, mid range, post up etc. bron relies on athleticism & ball dominance. No real skillset but IQ. His rebounds n assists aren’t skillsets. He literally tells his teammates to move when getting a board n he holds the ball n pass last minute to get an assist. This why he shys away from big moments cuz he lacks creating his own with no real skillset. Reason why he needed wade, kyrie, ad to fill in the void.
@thegoatmane2715 in order to have both athleticism AND skills it takes the proper IQ to formulate and use as an asset which he’s done his entire career. And last time I checked bball is a team sport which means ALL legendary superstars needed help in order to win. Russell, Bird, Zeke, Steph, MJ, Kobe and MJ did NOT win titles alone it took a total team effort and special players, Pippen was just as much an asset to Mike as Wade was to James
@@thegoatmane2715I respect that…. But, when you have time, watch his highlights from 2007-2018, then, tell me he don’t have a bag…… not true…. He always had handles, just not kyrie, he worked on his jumper, and, post game…… like I said, I respect your opinion, but, I disagree
Such an interesting insight. I suspect such systems also help with team chemistry and trust, generally; which, especially bears fruit in the playoffs and in clutch moments.
Steve Kerr said the triangle wasn't for MJ and Pippen, because they were gifted enough to be able to score in any offense.. It was more so for everyone else on the team..
Pippen wasn't gifted enough to score in any offence, he often didn't score in the Bulls offence in the 2nd 3-peat and his first 3 years (including the chip year)

There is no greatest of all time. There's only a goat of every era. We diminish those who came before when we say greatest of all time. Salley on the show was a blessing

I’ll never understand why Phil Jackson doesn’t get more recognition in the GOAT debate. Ppl talk about 4-6, but ignore one of the Greatest HC/systems of all time. The triangle can't even work in modern NBA because the competition is better. Edit: Ngl, I don't know ish about the triangle. I care more about the GOAT debate. Y'all taught me a lot in the replies though. 😆
It actually would work now guys dont play defense for real in the modern era they r just more athletic but dont have high iqs its so much spacing r n it would b insane
The Bulls were in the Eastern conference Final before Phil Jackson took over as head coach. It was the Pistons who were in their way. And no one else was giving the Pistons postseason losses except for the Bulls during that span. The Triangle is a great system. But it helps to have three top ten all time (MJ, Kobe, Shaq) players in the Triangle. Phil tried to implement the Triangle in New York with Carmelo. Let's just say it didn't work out very well.
1. Tex Winter created the Triangle. 2. Chicago was making ECFs BEFORE Phil 3. He managed talent. He would often just let the players figure it out. He wasn't so much a strategic Xs and Os. It's just player/ball movement. Nobody can move faster than the ball.
Kobe and Jordan were both confined to the system. They had to purposely break the system sometimes in order to win. If they were independent they would be more stat monsters than what they already have done. We can look at the Knicks to see that the system itself doesn’t bring success. It took the two greatest players of all time to put a HEMI in that thing. The system kept the teammates accountable but also made the superstar keep his teammates in the game until it was time to take over.
“Kobe & Jordan” that’s what they were. Two off the smartest most skilled basketball players ever on the planet and that’s what they did. Jordan could have had 8 rings if he didn’t retire and Kobe could have had 6 if it wasn’t for Boston’s big 4 when he didn’t have another consistent All Star caliber player like himself those last 3 finals appearances. The best players in the world maximized that system even though it hurt their overall stats in the end because they couldn’t play this iso ball we see in today’s game.
@@Kidimo_ehh take the system away from both and let Mj leave and team up with Hakeem and the glove and Kobe and Shaq still if not 3 peats get two at least and Kobe at least get one or 2 down the road so idk about that

Jordan's biggest numbers he put up was before he played in a system. And all he needed was one other all star and he never not won a championship. He's the GOAT.
While I agree that Jordan is the goat it must be said that Pippen became an all star in 1990. That was the only year Jordan had an all star and didn't win a championship. (Not counting 95 of course). It also must be said that Jordan did win without an all star in 1998. No Pippen.

@@Taireedillard All of Jordan's rings did come in the triangle under Phil. 91/92/93/96/97/98. Collins made that statement in 1988. Phil became coach in 1990 and brought the triangle with him.
@taireedillard which one?
Collins way of coaching is why MJ failed so much and suffered 2 sweeps.
Salley was partially right. Phil Jackson said the triangle was designed to get role players shots, not the stars. He said MJ could get any shot at any time, but the triangle allowed the role players to stay involved in the offense.

I think he kinda said playing against the triangle forced you to touched the open guy before helping to defend MJ
Gilbert..Phil Jackson was a ‘newbie’ Coach before he won with Michael Jordan
Lebron should never be compared to MJ and Kobe. Lebron created his own lane and blueprint for success. All of them are the great.
At least LeBron's Cavs played triangle offense. John Salley talks baloney nearly as much as Gil.

Not impressive if all I have to do is truck my way to the rim for easy points or foul shots. And if they send extra defenders I’ll just throw it to my shooters standing in the corner so they can bail me out.
Compared to , having a killer mentality and having multiple offensive options like ball handling, shooting 3s, post up, step back, finish at rim etc. I have a deeper bag AND I HAVE MORE CHIPS. I think that’s impressive
LeBron didn't have a system but kept top players around him. He didn't want a system he wants the ball in his hands and his competition in the same uniform.
Absolutely. He cannot play under a real system.
Fam u saying Micheal Jordan was more unselfish then Micheal Jordan who blatantly ball hogged and shot his team out of playoff teams before Phil Jackson
And it’s because LeBron doesn’t have the skillset to play offball or in any system. I feel like the young LeBron in Cleveland was a beast tho…at some point it seemed he got lazy and just wanted to be surrounded by guys who could shoot because he just preferred to waltz around dictating offense and being lazy on defense. He went from being an exciting slashing, dunking guard/forward player to a slower, freight train-esque point/forward taking long jumpers or Karl Maloning his way to the rim…his skillset and versatility as a player imo got worse as he got older.

Anyone know the brand of Gil’s shirt?
Phil Jackson was coaching in Mexico when the Bulls hired him to come and coach an already MVP/DPOY Michael Jordan.
It was the fact that MJ listened and made everyone else fall in line that made it work. If he treated Phil the way LBJ treats ALL his coaches going back to HS, none of us would know who Phil was.
You’re wrong. Phil was in in Chicago when
Mike won DPOY/MVP in 88.
Phil was hired in 87 as an assistant under Doug Collins.
Bro I grew up in Chicago watching Payton and Jordan, and you're wrong
He's not completely wrong, just wrong about when Phil started with the bulls, but that's semantics to what he was saying. The rest of his point is valid, LeBron has never trusted or supported management & at times has actually actively worked against them or took responsibilities off them for himself. Le GM.
@@ajhaynes5721
Don’t muddy up the convo with semantics, Phil was a behind the bench asst that was hired because he was willing to run Tex Winters the triangle offense that Krause wanted to run and Doug Collins didn’t.
Phil was no coaching prodigy. Krause just really liked him.
Jordan and Kobe had to sacrifice numbers in order to win championships.
Mike didnt like the system because he didn’t want to lose games with role players handling the ball too much and taking shots. He was hard on his teammates to step their game up instead of running to replace them. They eventually did and he won 6 chips because of it.
Kobe bucked the system a lot the first 3 chips, but he stuck with it enough to win 5 chips.

The triangle didn’t enhance Kobe and Jordan. It enhanced the players around them.
Yes you are right, Jordan was still Jordan, although he got smarter over time the triangle was designed to take the weight off Jordan but with a triangle you gotta have the pieces, Scottie had to evolve, Kobe and Shaq, Kobe was always Kobe he was always gonna work hard so you right it didn’t enhance them cause they were going to work on their game anyway.
If the players around you play better it makes it easier for you to hoop with enhances you … example KD in golden state he was just as good before that but when you put him around lethal shooters now you either gotta leave Steph or klay or let kd go 1v1 and teams tried everything and you couldn’t stop it

I dont if Rashad lacks understanding..What was pointed out is Kobe and Jordan worked in the ssytem, while Bron didnt and still excels. He enhanced his shooting, fadeaways, and took advantage of his athleticism. Even though Bron isnt in the system he won 4 championships..If he was with Phil, that 4 might be 8 then, inside a system.
Rashad tries to make points to discredit Bron, starts moving his hands and adding more points… eventually he just makes the case for the Bron being the GOAT. He should just start arguing that Bron is his GOAT… it’ll eventually lead to points strengthening Mike and Kobe’s cases.

My new favorite is Gil restates macants argument, and then Brandon realizes how right Gil is, then kinda gets all excited but it’s like a chill excited.
Gil is totally wrong. If we wanna compare MJ and Lebron without a system, we should only compare the first few years of MJ and Lebron to balance out the longevity of Lebron.
Although I agree, you guys glossed over the fact of Lebron being in the eastern conference for most of his career. Put Kobe In the east during his prime with Kyrie/Love or D Wade/Bosh and he would've made just as many final appearances. He had much tougher comp in the west. This isn't a fair hypothetical for Lebron MJ, or Kobe. Let all 3 of them just be great
Kobe shot more than lebron and shot below average for his career, being in the eastern conference doesnt change his poor shooting percentage.
Kobe was never efficient Never lol even when he won finals mvp against the Celtics 2010 they gave it to him because it’s nobody else they could give it too without backlash Kobe won finals MVPs as the worst superstar to ever win with terrible shooting percentage
Kobe isn’t in goat debate. His #s too low compared to mj and lebron. Kobe shot 43 % for his career . Jordan shot 50 %
The same can be said of Prime LBJ in the West with better put together teams. He probably still went to 10 straight and most likely won more.
Kobe also went to a Top 2 franchise too and I think that's glossed over. Easier to recruit and get talent. Is it ironic when he left he went to a destination franchise in Miami? Easier to recruit to Miami LA over Cleveland
What they failed to mention that LeBron went to Miami and played under Coach Eric Spolstra along with D. Wade and Chris Bosche. Then went back to Cleveland and played with K. Love, K. Irving, JR Smith coached by Ty Lue. Then went to Lakers played with AD, D. Howard, Rajon Rondo, K. Kuzma, A. Caruso, M. Morris, Javale McGee and was also coached by Frank Vogel.
In other words LeBron did play within a system with a few coaches.... But he did not play Tex Winters, Phil Jackson triangle system like MJ, Shaq and Kobe.
Imagine of Charles Barkley at in his mid 20s joined John Stockton and Karl Malone in 91. That’s what LeBron did… his greatest legacy is free agency
come on now bro ty lue and frank vogel are no where near a great of coach phil jackson is lmao you naming all the role players like JR smith kuzma caruso and Morris like they aren't interchangeable. those "systems" are no where near the systems Phil Jackson was cooking up.
@@restrelaxreset1469You have a point on that… but you forget that Bron did IN FACT HAVE a system with Coach Spo… small ball… which is to stretch out the big (Bosh) which isnt really a big… but it was to put Bosh in the corner 3… which worked… and with that system Bron was 2-1 because in 2011 that system didnt exist…
So technically Bron has played within multiple systems and never won… even this postseason… Bron’s laker system was to mismatch hunt… pick and rolls until an offensive player has a weak defender to attack…
@@restrelaxreset1469Never won more than Kobe and Jordan**
Eric S. Is the only coach you mentioned that was good and established when they got Lebron . And we saw what that was 4 Finals Appearances , Two Championships and 4 year run that ranks all time
The Warriors, Bulls and Lakers were a solid system because of the chemistry they had with players that played together for a long period of time along with great coaching.
Their best players were also coachable and took blame and accountability

This was a hell of a show. Y'all broke this down. Very intellectual
McCants takes about LeBron never make sense because he allows his personal dislike for LeBron to over shadow the point his trying to make. I don’t know if it’s just that he can’t articulate what he really means because he doesn’t have the words in his vocabulary but he continues to contradict himself whenever the discussion about “the greatest” is bought up…
The points I wish people would articulate is how he is the all time turnover leader, but is considered a "good" passer. How he can't shoot further than 3 feet from the basket and he has both taken and missed more shots that Kobe. How often n he complains to the refs and just doesn't play defense even going so far as to not run back on defense. How he doesn't play 82 games. I'm sure I can dig out more, but these are the main points.

True was MJ was just a stats guy until he paired with Phil. The gm revamped the locker room and Phil put in the triangle offense with his zen approach. All of that matters when it comes to winning
He did again with Kobe. It wasn't just MJ. Phil is the common denominator unlike Bellichek.
But he did it again without Mike though?

Facts. Even Michael, as competitive and strong-willed as he is, acquiesced to Phil Jackson in order to win.

LeBron doesn't have amazing fundamentals off ball lol. He loves the way he grew up playing in HS/AAU and is afraid of CHANGE as it makes him uncomfortable.
That's why Spoelstra went to Chip Kelly to learn his Spread Offense & fundamentally change how bigs play for him to succeed.
Not only that, the league literally dumbed down the rules to make it easier for perimeter players to succeed!
Salley dismissing Olajuwon's championship takes away his credibility. Also, no mention of Kareem in a GOAT discussion, further undercuts the discussion.

Salley isn't trying to diminish Hakeem championships because he believes the Bulls would've won those seasons if the GOAT didn't retire. MANY people believe that. Lol
Can y’all do a “re-draft” of old draft classes? Knowing what you know now re-draft
Lebron does have a system. Erick Spoelstra gave it to him. It wasn’t till he got to Miami that his iq kicked in to play the game more methodical than out of pure athleticism. Just listen to his podcast with JJ…. Just because he didn’t play the Triangle doesn’t mean that he didn’t have a system.
born always been methodical Gil has even talked about the preparation and how he was dissecting film in the wizards series in bros first Cavs stint he didn't play off pure athleticism you don't average 7 assists a game off pure athleticism with a team that lacked real floor spacers and shot creators
LeFlop has a system Whining and flopping. He left in free agency and could have played for Phil Jackson, Steve Kerr or Popovich but choose to not to so he could get paid and play with other all stars.
His system is for Losing. What IQ? Like he wants to take over the front office and fire his coaches. Hahahaha! Le fan girls like you are lame.

Gils arguement about bron still doing well without a system is weak. It’s not like he was winning with traditional teams he was the catalyst for teams stacking the deck in the modern nba.
Comparing lebron to an independent artist is insane he had the most help and ran offense how he wanted. He didn’t have a system bc he didn’t want to be in one.

@@saviourholland651how doesn’t it work hes got 4
Show me where this 6’9 269 pound kid had NO skill set was so gifted as a scorer, defender and not just a passer???? WTH is McCants talking about?
Skills meaning shooting ability, handles, can get to any spot he wants n score. Great free throw shooter, 3pt, mid range, post up etc. bron relies on athleticism & ball dominance. No real skillset but IQ. His rebounds n assists aren’t skillsets. He literally tells his teammates to move when getting a board n he holds the ball n pass last minute to get an assist. This why he shys away from big moments cuz he lacks creating his own with no real skillset. Reason why he needed wade, kyrie, ad to fill in the void.
@thegoatmane2715 in order to have both athleticism AND skills it takes the proper IQ to formulate and use as an asset which he’s done his entire career. And last time I checked bball is a team sport which means ALL legendary superstars needed help in order to win. Russell, Bird, Zeke, Steph, MJ, Kobe and MJ did NOT win titles alone it took a total team effort and special players, Pippen was just as much an asset to Mike as Wade was to James
@@thegoatmane2715I respect that…. But, when you have time, watch his highlights from 2007-2018, then, tell me he don’t have a bag…… not true…. He always had handles, just not kyrie, he worked on his jumper, and, post game…… like I said, I respect your opinion, but, I disagree

The record label analogy was perfect for this topic!
Such an interesting insight. I suspect such systems also help with team chemistry and trust, generally; which, especially bears fruit in the playoffs and in clutch moments.
Steve Kerr said the triangle wasn't for MJ and Pippen, because they were gifted enough to be able to score in any offense.. It was more so for everyone else on the team..
Pippen wasn't gifted enough to score in any offence, he often didn't score in the Bulls offence in the 2nd 3-peat and his first 3 years (including the chip year)

I’ll never understand why Phil Jackson doesn’t get more recognition in the GOAT debate. Ppl talk about 4-6, but ignore one of the Greatest HC/systems of all time. The triangle can't even work in modern NBA because the competition is better.
Edit: Ngl, I don't know ish about the triangle. I care more about the GOAT debate. Y'all taught me a lot in the replies though. 😆
It actually would work now guys dont play defense for real in the modern era they r just more athletic but dont have high iqs its so much spacing r n it would b insane
The Bulls were in the Eastern conference Final before Phil Jackson took over as head coach. It was the Pistons who were in their way. And no one else was giving the Pistons postseason losses except for the Bulls during that span. The Triangle is a great system. But it helps to have three top ten all time (MJ, Kobe, Shaq) players in the Triangle. Phil tried to implement the
Triangle in New York with Carmelo. Let's just say it didn't work out very well.
😅😂..what??
He does. But he implemented a system that wasn’t his . It was tex winter system
1. Tex Winter created the Triangle.
2. Chicago was making ECFs BEFORE Phil
3. He managed talent. He would often just let the players figure it out. He wasn't so much a strategic Xs and Os.
It's just player/ball movement. Nobody can move faster than the ball.
Kobe and Jordan were both confined to the system. They had to purposely break the system sometimes in order to win. If they were independent they would be more stat monsters than what they already have done. We can look at the Knicks to see that the system itself doesn’t bring success. It took the two greatest players of all time to put a HEMI in that thing. The system kept the teammates accountable but also made the superstar keep his teammates in the game until it was time to take over.
put one of if not the smartest player in the game in that system with a hof coach, and he more than likely doubles the amount of championships.
“Kobe & Jordan” that’s what they were. Two off the smartest most skilled basketball players ever on the planet and that’s what they did. Jordan could have had 8 rings if he didn’t retire and Kobe could have had 6 if it wasn’t for Boston’s big 4 when he didn’t have another consistent All Star caliber player like himself those last 3 finals appearances. The best players in the world maximized that system even though it hurt their overall stats in the end because they couldn’t play this iso ball we see in today’s game.
