For the second straight week, we are looking back on the glorious Lakers dynasty with an embarrassing portrait. Last Thursday, we found newly anointed coach and former Lakers player Luke Walton in a Manhattan Beach hot tub. This week, it’s another Lakers coach—Phil Jackson—on a beach in Santa Monica in 1999.
Back then, the only thing missing from Phil’s life was a belt. He was fresh off his third straight NBA championship—the sixth of his career—and ready to conquer Los Angeles. With a look like this, it’s easy to see why he came in and won right away.
