^^Well, that's honestly what I felt, sorry if you got offended. And how would it be me ruining it anyways, when I just quoted ING and said "My thoughts exactly" followed by "Nonetheless, RIP to a great coach", which I believed was me 'paying respect'...Either way, take a look at who turned this into a Auerbach vs. Phil thread...It definitely wasn't me...PeACe

Quote from: Spice Cali'z Finest on October 30, 2006, 10:10:12 AMPhil is just a coach and he has had the pleasure of having MJ, Pippen, Shaq, and Kobe. Phil has never played that big of a role in puting a team together he just coaches, Red on the other hand was a GM also and not just did he coach his team to 8 straight titles he put the team together also, it really isnt a comparison. Red was a innovater, and a originator, he set the bar. Phil is a great coach no doubt but Red was so much more than that.LOL! We're talking in terms of coaching here, not whether or not he was also a GM. That means nothing when it comes to coaching... Phil Jackson has mastered the art of coaching, he gets his players to play basketball the way it was meant to be played...Auerbach won all those titles when there was very little competition in the NBA, when there was only 2 or 3 forces in the league...He has never done for his players what Phil Jackson has, and I doubt Michael and Pippen or Kobe and Shaq woulda' had the success they did without Phil Jackson...PeACe

And never doing what Phil has done is a fucking joke. Call me Phil has won 8 titles in a row.
