I couldn't stomach to read it and quite frankly don't care what the guy had to say. This past weeek, there was an article, 'Phils finest coaching performance'. Gee, I guess so, since he didn't have Jordan, or Shaq and Kobe as a team. How many different championship teams did Red build, or how about dynasties? Now, tell me how many Phil built? End of discussion.

Just the way, many proclaimed Belichick better than Lombardi. It's tough to compare the two eras. But facts are facts, if Jackson gets 10, he's the best. Nothing else matters.

Rest assured, nine titles now is far more impressive than nine back in Red’s day. Ten ends the argument.

Auerbach is the greatest general manager to ever live. He shaped and reshaped the Celtics for three different title eras. There were the Russell-Cousy Celtics and the Havlicek-Cowens Celtics and the Bird-McHale-Parish Celtics.
