Phil Jackson has won more championships than any other head coach in NBA history. He added another two as a player, which brings his tally up to 13 overall—an incredible number, but one that doesn’t guarantee success as an executive.
For all of the success that he experienced with the system as a head coach, Jackson has encountered a steady stream of criticism as team president of the New York Knicks.
Despite the fact that Jackson has won 11 championships since the Knicks won their last one, his basketball prowess has been questioned. The 2014-15 tank job was tough to stomach, although it did land Kristaps Porzingis, and the 2015-16 collapse was unforgivable.
