Phil Jackson shares untold stories about Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant

[@danieljohnson-1983]

Phil Jackson's perspective on leadership and mindfulness is pure gold. JT, this interview is a masterclass in winning on and off the court!

[@paulusrumanouw3176]

MJ also once said his best quality as a player was he was very coach able. The fact that Phil also said the same thing shows how in sync their coach player relationship were.

[@JTFoxx]

True

[@jetpilot111]

Yes sir

[@_Game0ver_]

When the Bulls got rid of Phil, MJ said he would rather retire than play for another coach. Says it all, really.

[@TheWil989]

Phil Jackson is definitely one of the greatest legend in the NBA. Best Coach by far !

[@GregoryWilliams-di2dg]

There you have it Jordan is by far is the best ever in any generation. I don't know how anybody can say he's not. I watched him in so many games on WGN and it was the best i ever watched in any kind of show that was on TV or cable. I mean he gave you your money worth from the time he came in the league until his last game. Never cheated the game or his fan's. My goat for life in any sport period 💯 💪 👌

[@silewis9396]

Like we really needed Phil to say it today as if it's going to end the endless debate!?

[@dddpheth3055]

As a Kobe fan. I agree. MJ is the goat! Kobe 2

[@peteradamo7768]

JT asks the most insightful questions. To ask who Phil would rather coach was such an incredible question, and the answer was straightforward and honest. JT Foxx truly has a gift.

[@robsedgwick3535]

"Leadership...make other players better, and not just make your star shine." ~ Coach Phil's lesson to Kobe. This is how the GOAT of Coaching created Championship teams, by having his Superstars have this mindset. As an entrepreneur, Phil loved the "Dedication to making a success." Great interview! Great questions!

[@JTFoxx]

100%

[@svensperling4087]

I like the perspective that It’s not about making your own star shine, it’s about who’s on your side, who’s got your back and then treat them the same way -> LOYALTY.

JT FOXX asked some extremely thoughtful questions. Nice interview Bro💪🏾💯

[@JTFoxx]

[@MarkEnriquez1971]

Great interview! Phil knows MJ is the best overall player of all time. And he basically said that with his answer to the last question.

[@dfdfdgggjhjjh5081]

“Jordan was extremely coachable. I told him to quickly score, steal the ball, then score again to win our 6th chip, and he did it”.

What a fabulous interview ... Goat interviewing Goat, about other Goats!!! "Be the leader and make other players better with your leadership, not just making your star shine" Loved this so much!!! Thank you, Manuela

[@robbevans2499]

Wow! What an amazing insight from one of the greatest coaching minds of our time. Thank you for this behind the curtain look into Phil's thinking.

[@JTFoxx]

Thanks

[@BreakthroughWithAI]

Great interview JT. I was a huge Bulls fan in the 1990s growing up watching those legendary teams led by the "Zen Master" coach Phil Jackson. You could tell back then he led his players differently, thinking about them as being better people and not only players. Be who you are. Its not about the money, but the relationships and loyalty....and of course be coachable. Good takeaways from this.

[@retinagouma]

How amazing it must have been to meet Phil Jackson! This interview provides valuable insights into how leadership, adaptability, growth, and mindset drive success, with coaching playing a key role in unlocking one's full potential and bringing out the best in people. Great interview

[@garretwong]

Love Phil's comment about how it's not about the money, but rather the relationships and the joy they bring along the way

[@brendabryson9493]

I really enjoyed this interview and how he shares that leadership is being about helping others be better, not just about making your own star shine.

[@lourdesgant6700]

Great interview! My favourite is that my 15 year old son watched this with me as he's in a baskeball team at the moment. The section I love most is that he emphasized the value of what being coachable does from a less experienced perspective. Wondering now what he thinks of Le Bron! :)

[@jamessalomon1196]

Growing up I got to watch Phil Jackson's Bulls 7 times from 1991 to 1995, and later his Lakers twice in 2009 and 2010. Still have his books on my shelf. Really miss watching the Triangle Offense methodically pick defenses apart with its constant passing, and cutting...but mostly I miss watching MJ save the day whenever the Triangle broke down. Great interview!

[@SuperWarring]

Incredible!!! What an amazing interview and great advise!

Great interview 😊 I agree with him that it's about the joy of the relationships and outcomes, But I wondered do people who struggle have the same belief 🤔 We could help more people achieve their joy if more people were coachable.

excellent insights: I can put into play in the business world when you have people who are not ready to be leaders, you need to know when to not promote until they understand "what it means to be a leader and make the players/team better" ... also picking people on your team (sports or work) who are coachable!

Phil Jackson needs to come back as an assistant coach in NBA and bring back the triangle style of basketball 🏀👍🏽👍🏽

Triangle offense was Tex Winters baby. Phil tried to have the triangle run in NY when he was team president.

[@EastTorontoLiving-dd8ik]

Interesting Interview

[@SidneyPatrickCrosby87]

But Phil Jackson had me in the 2009 & 2010 championships too. There wasn't much Phil could teach him or show him that I already didn't.

[@aysiasmiles]

It's all about relationships

[@JTFoxx]

Yes

[@ronulo]

Didn't even hesitate. JORDAN !

[@Chevy-hw6lw]

I think people are slightly misled by Phils answer MJ was extremely coachable. Compared to Kobe and Shaq , yes. However, don't forget when Phil and MJ first hooked up in basketball MJ had 7 years of being able to score score score. MJ was reluctant with Phil at first, Phil asked him to score less and michael did not like it. But in time MJ trusted phil and the vision of the triangle offense and the rest is history. I still believe personally, that MJ was very intelligent and was open minded and trusted Phil, but it took time is all.

[@dfdfdgggjhjjh5081]

All Phil was asking for him was to go from 38 points a game down to 31, and still be the nba scoring leader. If he asked MJ to go down to 22 points a game there’s no way in hell he’s doing that.

[@dewanewelch1744]

MJ was never reluctant to be coached. He learned from Dean Smith how to be coached. He was reluctant to trust his teammates who were at that time some drug addicts and drunks.

[@marktorre3370]

Goat coach and pop too

[@healthierlife]

Once The Goat … always the goat 🐐

[@raymondgarcia8101]

Jordan & Kobe both became coachable at 26-27 years old. Jordan said it himself that Phil wanted to take the ball out of my hands. And they clashed at first. But Jordan had lost in the playoffs every year for 8 years and he was tired of losing so he eventually listened to Phil. I doubt very much that a 21 year old Jordan would’ve listened to Phil’s coaching methods much like Kobe at 21. Despite Kobe allegedly being uncoachable they won 3 straight Chips. With Kobe as the facilitator for the first 3 quarters and then being the closer. So saying that Jordan was more coachable than Kobe is BS.

[@dfdfdgggjhjjh5081]

Jordan played for two of the greatest college coaches ever (knight for Olympics), he was very coachable even before the nba. The problem was he had nobody until Horace and Pippen started blossoming.

[@dewanewelch1744]

MJ has said many times Phil is lucky that Dean Smith got him first and taught him how to be a team player.

[@entasolutions]

Yes, I’ll take coachable all day long. The combination or curiosity and drive.

[@JTFoxx]

Agree

[@mariobryant8803]

MJ, Kobe, Scottie and Shaq - they all wanted to be coached- Phil Jackson was the guy to do that.

The goat 🐐

[@BMBball]

Incredible because i'm a left-hander too and i didn't know what was my power leg. Problem is i have always made a jumpshot when i was Young with the right hand because of Michael Jordan. Still today when i watch a left hander make a shot, i think the shot is weird. But to come back to my power leg, i tore my right calf 5 years ago, and maybe because i played with the 33 FOF but maybe because i was tired due to bodyscult and have a problem atrophied nerve damage due a hernie. But any of all the Kine or Ostheopath found me a hernie.

[@krga94c]

I knew when he was asked which one pick he would start with to build a new team, that it would be MJ.

[@BMBball]

Please Phil Jackson, we need more triangle offense in NBA 2k23, or 25 or 26, more Jordan challenge, more Classic stuff, shoes, players, faces, your glasses for the second three peat, more 90’s Classic dunk for Jordan, better Game play, better free throw for Pippen and every other player. More challenge of the first and the second 3 peat. We also need Barkley.

[@KiddAlways]

dude the last thing he's worried about is a stupid video game. you type like you're 10. so many things in life that are important and video games ain't one of them unless you still live in your parent's basement.

@@KiddAlways i don't know why but something tells me you know me but i really don't care. I do know there is more important thing in the life. The Job could have been done since 2k14 and i wouldn't be here to say what i still want in a video game. Watch the forum of 2k bb games, they are dead rightnow since Jordan challenge havn’t been added!! Every body want it, because every body bought a PS5 to not play with it but every body still loves MJ because they bought a lot of Jordan each months!! it is not my foul. 2k23 Jordan mode was dedicated to every people, young or old, and yes the game was great, but i still think we could have a better game. A lot of people wanted to play with Kobe in NBA 2k24, maybe you, don't lie, and a lot of people didn't like the kobe challenge mode but so much people bought the game so i'm not alone. So yeah i'm still here like a stupid guy to be worry about a stupid game because the game could have been really really really less stupid.

MJ and Shaq are equals in terms of athletic freaks. Michael worked way harder, that is why he is the goat. But the fact that Kobe is there with them... that is why he is one of the most inspirational athletes of all time. Hard work is invaluable.
