"Michael Jordan's Loyalty to Phil Jackson: 'I Won't Retire if He Returns as Coach'"

In an old interview, Michael Jordan underscored his deep trust and loyalty to coach Phil Jackson, stating that he would not retire if Jackson returned as his coach. This statement highlighted the strong bond and mutual respect between the two, which played a pivotal role in the Chicago Bulls' dominance during the 1990s.

Michael's humility. To have any at all while knowing you're the best is astonishing. But MJ takes it to another level...like everything else he does.

Mike didnt want be on candyland with his master

[@Dogdigger-xy9vk]

Phil defined Mj . He ruled MJ with an iron clad fist . Get out of line and he called Mj in his office and told him that he was his boss . Mj said “ yes sir I am down in all 4 ‘s sir .. Phil said now get up and go git in the showers… Now fast forward to the 👑🦾🦾 🐐nowadays, Lebron called his coaches in his office and would say to them . I am the king and you are in my court and you have the privilege to be coaching the goat . If they got out of step then he got them fired . Lebron holds coaches accountable after all , They are paid to coach and if they draw up bad plays or fails to call time outs or put in bad subs than Lebron will say to them “ Your fired “ BOSS = Lebron

[@Mysterio-hk9gj]

Yeah , if Phil comes back . Jordan's Genie In A Bottle basically . Where would Jordan be without that Triangle Offense and Phil Jackson ? Ringless 🤔

[@tankwhite.7036]

Exactly, he didn't want a rebuilt team. He wanted a top-tier team and without Pippen and Phil he's just a high volume shooter.

[@Mysterio-hk9gj]

@@tankwhite.7036 Jordan was a Legendary 193 - 187 All Time without Pippen . 1 - 9 in the Playoffs All Time without Pippen . Meanwhile without any Phil Jackson Cheat Code Offense LeGOAT Single handedly carried a Team full of Scarecrows , Pumpkins , Tin Men , and Heartless No Name Players and Coaches to the 2007 Finals .

Did Lebron ever win anything w/o Wade, Love, Bosh, Irving, AD? All Jordan needed was Pippen & Rodman to win 6. Lebron needed a billion super stars on his team and still won only 4.

It's no loyalty to Phil Jackson, its he don't want to lose because he's only won win he's been on the best team. Never a winner when the underdog.

Oh really? Did Jordan not win in 91 ECF when Bulls only had 2 HOFers against Pistons with 3?

[@charlesclark5415]

Listening to this reminds me of how LBj is criticized about getting coaches fired and NO! mj didn't get Phil fired the fact that he wanted a particular coach or player as he said about scottie is the same mindset only difference is accept it or not but here is the evidence where as MJ had the power to influence the fans and really by brand but still he does LBJ had the power to influence The BOSSES of the game and get out the game what he wanted not just what they wanted out of him 😉

Stop the bull💩 not even the same as what Leflop has done to his coaches and teammates, you sound Dumb AF

[@curtisanderson7930]

Lebron didn't need special coaches or players, that's why LEBRON IS THE GOAT!!!

[@TellenJones]

4 rings vs 6 despite having way more help than Jordan. In fact Kareem, Magic, Kobe and Duncan all had more rings with less help. Guy ain't even top 5.
