    Phil Jackson was the goat because he managed talent levels. Others actually didn't win with Mike and Scottie or Shaq and Kobe. Stevens has to work on screwing egos and getting best talent on floor like Kerr did with Iggy. Managing talent and egos is a fine line

    Nets & Sac are both below .500
    I don't think they are being underestimated....did you expect them to fight for playoffs?

    The Nets are 7th in the East. Levert is back soon. They will be in the playoffs. Kings have an outside shot -West is tough of course.

    Jackson had the best players in the league in their prime. He did a great job, yes, but no one else has been as lucky as him. Shaq & Kobe were 1 & 2 in the league when he had them.
