I'm going to say Pop. I think his coaching philosophy is going to revolutionize the NBA in the next 5-10 years. You see it already in ATL. Not every team can have 2-3 superstars and the strong international influence makes his principles even more important. The competitive balance in the NBA will even out. I think he'll have changed the game.

Then again another Pop assistant Brett Brown is currently 12-41 in his second year in Philly.

I agree with the argument that Pops had less talent and still a ton of success, but it's just so hard to go against 11 titles.

I know everybody argues that he had guys like Jordan, Kobe, Shaq, but that to me is what makes him such a great coach. Jordan was just a highlight real before Jackson got there, and even Shaq and Kobe credit so much of their growth on Jackson. Plus, the triangle offense. I know he didn't invent it, but he pretty much perfected it.

And who knows, if it wasn't for his health problems, he would've still been coaching right now.

Duncan and Robinson are top 10 all time players and Tony Parker & Manu Ginobili will be in the Hall of Fame.

LOL at David Robinson being a top 10 NBA player of all time. Now THAT is funny.

.

I also don't think Robinson is a top 10. Great, great player, but I wouldn't put him over Shaq, Kareem, or Hakeem.

I would love to see how Phil Jackson would do with that roster. Or the Knicks roster. The great Phil Jackson would never take a coaching job that wasnt loaded with the best players in the world though.

How he would do with the 76ers or Knicks roster. In other words.. he would suck just like Brett Brown has done. Cant win without talent.

and who's been arguing that point? unless you're saying that popovich or whoever you consider the greatest coach would turn the 76ers into a contender?

Never said that. I just dont consider Jackson to be the greatest simply because he has the most titles. Again, to me he is no better than Pat Riley who also won with incredible talent for 2 organizations. And my point about the 76ers is when JCool made the comment about Brett Brown's coaching record like it somehow diminished Popovich.
I dont know if you can discount coaches for winning with hall of fame talent. What teams have gone on to win multiple titles without hall of famers? Just a thought
