Props to the Greatest Coach of All Time!

Quote

"It's a compliment to all the players I've had -- the great players, the great teams and the great runs that we've had," Jackson said. "It's become a game in which us elderly guys are now coaching, which was an age that coaches didn't extend themselves into when I was a player. It says something about the longevity of coaches now."

The 61-year-old Jackson ranks ninth on the NBA's all-time wins list, and became the fastest to reach 900, doing so in 1,264 games. Former Lakers coach Pat Riley accomplished the feat in 1,278 games.

"Nine hundred wins is remarkable," Bryant said. "I can't even fathom 900 games. It was special."
