A bit of both. He's lucky to have been handed the talent that he has gotten...but there aren't many coaches that would be able to demand the respect of so many talented players and be able to stay with the same team for so long... I don't agree with some of his coaching style choices, but if his players love him and respect him and they play hard for him, then that's really all that matters.
Red was lucky to have Bill Russell (freaking monster) though, so you can't say that Jackson had all the advantages.
lakers. Cavs have O'neal but i dont think he'll fit in that well, and celts, well, their stars r getting old. and lakers just got artest who's a great defender
I would have to say my favorite team are the lakers But, the team to take it this next season will be between Cavs (with the addition of shaq), or Lakers win again especially with ron artest. I would say this season is gonna to be the finals we all been waiting for Cavs Vs Lakers Kobe > Shaq attack even though shaq is one of my favorite nba players, Nobody can touch kobe at the moment
