88 they lost because Detroit was better, hungry, and more athletic! Period

Phil Jackson is the greatest coach period, in any sport. It is a pity that the Triangle isn't played anymore. A team with a strong front court in today's NBA of zero defense would dominate. I would love to see a video on Jerry Sloan and Rick Adelman sometime.

None of them could win until he got there

Pistons stopped him 3 times. 89, 90, and 2004

VIRKAYU IS THAT YOU????

To say that Phil Jackson only had one tactic is like saying that Hakeem had the dream shake as his only move... 😉

It kills me that not until 1990 they needed a rule not to punch people , it kills me even more that in response to other teams saying you want to make it about skills we will just rough house and he said "oh you want that kind of game, here is what I will give you the Pistons that beat me mixed with some hard liquor.

is that virkayu or am i cooked

Im a Laker fan since i was 11. LA vs SA it was always a legendary battle! True form of basketball fo sho. Mad respect to Timmy and Pop!

He don't respect the rule of Democracy and his fellow Americans voice.

It is well known that Van Gundy and Shaq had Beef.

Pretty ironic how it was a Lakers coach who made fun of a shortened championship season. Hindsight is 2020 (legit)

Nice video about Mike D’Antoni bro

And he learned almost all of it from Red Auerbach

Don't forget about his 2 rings as a player

Pat Riley was so good, that after he won the championship with the Lakers, he promised that they would win again the very next year...and they did

Jack Ramsey was doing "team first" and a blistering defense 20 years before Brown.

There was no way he was 5% bodyfat in that picture LOL. He looked like 15%.

He’s Italian idk wat u expect.

Almost as impressive as Red Auerbach.

TIM DUNCAN

Too bad Phil couldn’t turn the knicks around.

Larry Brown has been underrated

Pat Riley didn't just play the game; he broke it, rebuilt it, and made the NBA change its rules to keep up. Love him or hate him, he’s basketball’s ultimate puppet master.

Not one single person would argue the pistons were a greater championship team, that's insane.

He never mastered getting the Knicks a championship. Came pretty close in 94 though. God damn John Starks!

How the same coach can't win any games wihtout Jordan or Kobe. Maybe it's not him?

The record shows that Pop's one of the worst: Without Parker, CP3 and the like coaching on court, he can't coach. Just look at his he wasted Robinson-Duncan duo before he got saved by Parker. Also unless there is an obvious first choice, he has a horrible record of drafting, with just Gino and Parker as good grabs, and a horrible drafting percentage elsewhere.

Adrien Brody was such a bad casting choice for the biopic

It wasn't that the Lakers were that good, the 76ers were just that weak, the Eastern conference was weak that year...... plus the league cheated Milwaukee that year from making the finals wanted a Kobe Iverson matchup...... fixed..

The REAL GOAT COACH

I thought u may of mentioned how he got 10% ownership when he went to Miami

Speaking of hated people...do u the ceo of youtube neal ihan is kn the Epstein flight logs

Tim Duncan and David Robinson

OMG YOUR VOICE IS SO FAMILIAR

Such a good coach he never could coach himself to be more than a role player.

When Mr. Riley hoisted Bulls #23 Jersey to the roof of American Airlines arena in Miami, he made the ultimate statement about his taste and judgement. This is a man that worked with Wilt, Baylor, The Logo, Magic, Mr. Jabbar, Ewing and Knicks. At that ceremony in April 2021. The unparalleled leader of men said "I just believe he deserves it. The guy has been the greatest player in the history of the game, and I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea for every team in this league to hang his number in the rafters as a reminder of what greatness is all about.” Pat Riley is singular.

As a casual fan, I've heard the name, but never realized his impact. I love disruptors, regardless of the sport.

No need to watch. The answer is: by having the fantastic luck of inheriting a team with Michael Jordan and a Scottie Pippen, and then another team with Kobe and Shaq.

19:16 lebron did the same block he did on iggy but missed so he lost here

To me, he’s the Al Davis of basketball.

2:25 “If you can’t do; teach.” Personified.

It doesn't hurt having Jordan with Pippen and Kobi with Shaq

@GOATAuthority you should do a video about Red Auerbach ! A lot to talk about it...

Sounds to me like the rules are what made the NBA soft, not the players. Sorry OG’s

So we can officially say he was a “PR” nightmare for the future of the NBA?

Why is virkayu teaching me about the history of Pat Riley

I’ve been a Miami Heat fan since they got Shaq. The love I have for the Godfather cannot be put into simple words. Win or lose, I know the Heat will play hard and put max effort into winning

He also won a ring as a player!

Funny you mentioned "psychopath". Some of the greatest winners of all time tiptoe that line. I remember hearing someone talk about Michael Jordan, saying, "We should be glad MJ was 6'6" and not 5'6" or he might've been the world's greatest serial killer."
