The Curious Leader with Coby Karl: Phil Jackson - Maverick (Part 1)

Phil Jackson is arguably the most successful basketball coach of all time, having won 11 NBA championships coaching the Bulls and Lakers. In the first part of a two part episode, Coby Karl sits down with his mentor, Coach Jackson, to learn more about his authentic and, at times, maverick nature. Brett Goldberg co-hosts to learn more about Phil's background, leadership approach and "unbranded" style.

Love Phil Jackson, the best coach in any sport ever, and the points are on the board to prove it.

I’ll be damn. I am now 71 and retired after 20 years in globally known sporting goods brands and 21 as a headhunter in a best in class comp may. And I too, read Chip Hilton stories by Clair Bee. Phil remembers it as Chiiper Hilton and he’s probably right. Sort of like Phil I grew up in a tiny town of 450 in Illinois, but my Dad was in the Air Force. I went to high school of a consolidated group of 1500. So it was kind of a tug and pull of some of your friends having been all around the free world and those who had not yet been out of the county. I also read all of the Tom Swift series, which it turns out was written by a collection of ghost writers. I wonder why. So in hindsight, the exposure to Chip Hilton, who ever lost, but was a humble winner, and to Tom Swift, who was in constant contact with the alien world; was pretty cool. I played every sport and got a degree in history, while being maybe a half a foot in front of of transformational change over 40 years in business. I did not play against Walt Frazier, but I did play against Norm Cook, who went to Kansas and the NBA, and Clyde Turner, who went to Minnesota and beat up Luke Witte. This is just from the first 5 minutes.

I thank you

[@jacksmith5692]

I don't know why they interrupted Phil when he began to speak about Red Holzman? Some of the interruptions stopped a good moment.

[@Kath_R]

Yeah, this should have been Phil and Coby. This other fool ruined this.

[@jacksmith5692]

@@Kath_R Excellent point!

[@Kath_R]

​@@jacksmith5692 After I posted that comment, that nobody actually told Phil (after a mundane question) -- "Thank you Phil, for answering that question so honestly" (he has nothing else to say)... As opposed to answering dishonestly?

Gv g great job

[@jacksmith5692]

He mentioned Johnny Bach and Coach Lombardi the greatest coach ever and they didn't take advantage of that moment. Lombardi was about leadership but was also about teaching and love and was way ahead of his time with bigotry. He supported and loved the black athletes and later in Washington gay athletes and this was the 1960's. What an opportunity to ask some questions about Bach and how Lombardi a football legendary coach learned to coach basketball and won state titles.

[@bordaz1]

True. Most people don't have a proper appreciation for history; unfortunately, learning about people like Lombardi and Bach is critically important for aspiring athletes and coaches, and for them to not show an interest is their loss.

[@jacksmith5692]

@@bordaz1 How do you not know about Lombardi and his love for all his players?

There is no such thing as luck. "Luck" is the residue of hard work and preparation. *A world of our own creation.

[@cruzmontes2595]

I wish Phil would have used grace instead of luck! When you have admiration from mystics that unbeknowst to you pray for you! Thats not luck, thats grace. From one native to another love you Phil.

[@heroyaldog]

lol first 30s and a boom mic in the shot

[@johead8516]

If you watch 1998 finals after Micheal hits the last shot, him and Phil hug, Phils clearly taller

[@arobsz]

the guy with the beard sorta ruined this

[@uncletony6210]

I thought he was fine.

[@johead8516]

If you look at Phil’s body structure when they put his whole body in the frame….. his a big guy…… I know he played for the Knicks so players are always gonna be big but a lot of times what I see a player who retired aren’t as big as they where and some how shrank….. Phil is still a big guy

[@BassGods]

The guy with the beard. "NOT PHIL" Smh

[@thecomedymachine342]

Coby lose the guy with the beard. He knows nothing. Asks questions and changes topics in the middle. Has no clue. Sorry but its true

[@Kath_R]

He's like the weirdo who enters a couple's room having sex...

[@SlowVillageBand]

what a waste

[@consciouslyaware2219]

I love how Phil called out Obama for being a self centered narcissist by making appear that he was God and did everything good that happened under his administration all by himself..But ill add that all the things that should have been done that Obama promised on the campaign trail,he seems to have amnesia about..

[@uncletony6210]

actually, he didn't promise all that much. I just remember "Hope..."
