Could be true. Either way, they're both great coaches.

I'm sorry Mr. Horry, I love what you did for us, but please, shut your mouth.

Phil has three three-peats. Popovich can't even get one. People don't realize how hard it is to win 3 in a row.

well if shaq hadn't gotten so fat and accepted Kobe was going to be the man and should have been the man...like he did in Miami....then Kobe and Shaq would have stayed together and won so much more.

shaq basically did what the lakers wanted him to when he first left...pay cutt and lost weight...

it took drama and his stupid overly large ego to realize that.

parker gino and duncan are all selfless and have stayed in tact for so long.

it's not PJs fault Shaq decided to be a beached fat whale making 30 mill playing for less than half the season.

now PHX has that problem...fat Shaq makes 40 mill over 2 seasons and he hasn't played a full season since 2000. Congratulations.

moral of the story. Parker Duncan Ginobili are all selfess and made it a point ot stay togehter.

moral of the story 2: shaq was and is fat and was beyond over paid as a Laker, and stil is overpaid as a Sun and was as a member of the Heat. His ego was too large to make way for Kobe.

Kobe is on a different level and class from Wade. Imagine if Shaq had gotten in shape and taken a pay cut and made way for Kobe being "THE MAN". What a shame Shaquille O'Neal is and has been for sports.

His arrogance truly is an insult to people who think. Kudos to Bill Wlaton.

it's true tho. they're both good coaches.

but when u're comparing stars like duncan and shaq you know u gotta treat them differently.

look at what yelling pat riley did to shaq. it made him better one year, but look what happened after that.

horry may think it, but coaching is a lot harder than it looks

I think pop is better.

Tony Parker>Any of the 3-peat PG's
San Antonio Bench > 3-peat bench, especially the 2002 3-peat bench.

So Horry says that Pop would have won more rings if he had the talent that Phil had. The only players who were clearly better than the Spurs were Shaq and Kobe. Mark Madsen was Shaq's backup. Slava Medvendenko backed up Horry. Tracy Murray was our backup shooter. The 3-peat bench was decent in 2000, but substandard in 2001, and pitiful in 2002. I wish we could have had Michael Finely instead of Tracy Murray.

i think having shaq and kobe is a pretty big deal. i don't care what bench pop has, he doesn't have the talent that phil has.

revgen · Posted: Tue May 13, 2008 10:50 pm Post subject:

^Ginobli, Duncan, and Parker is a pretty big deal too.

Especially when they are surrounded with way better role players than what Shaq and Kobe had.

If Phil won those 3 titles with the 1998 Laker roster, then I could see Horry's point.

Robert Horry better read a newspaper or something...

Phil Jax = 3 different 3 peats

With teams full of characters - MJ, Pip, Rodman, Kobe, Shaq,

I almost want to say that with the emergence of Bynum and Gasol on the Lakers (along with Kobe) - Pop, Timmy D, Parker, and Ginobli have kissed the Larry O'Brien Trophy for the last time (unless of course, they are traded to the Lakers)

Then again...what else was Robert supposed to say..."uh, Phil Jackson is a better coach..."

Didn't he say the same thing about Rudy T and Phil though...

He's gotta tow the company line...

He's right. In terms of a player's perspective.

See: Game 4.

"They were hoping Kobe would bail them out."

At everyone elses perspective, 9 rings > 4 rings.

Robert Horry has earned my respect. And I respect his opinion.

In fairness to Horry, he won't say Phil is a better coach when you are playing for the Spurs, and still in the playoff hunt...

Horry is 100% right

Jackson always rode some players balls to title
He rode Jordan and Pippen's balls just like he rode Shaq and now he's riding Kobe.

He's like a pimp he just uses his best girl to get his milestones and respects.

he's a zen man, wtf does he know bout coaching he jus sideswith the best player all the time.

At least I can respect Pop as a man of integrity. I have very little respect for Phil, the back.-stabbing, conflict-avoiding wuss. I think he is a great coach but I can't respect him for the life of me.

Personally, if I had to choose, I'd prefer to have Pop coaching the Lakers. Not to say I'm dissatisfied with Phil in the big picture (though I do think he is well past his prime as a coach) but I would prefer Pop. What he lacks in offensive imagination, he makes up with defensive single-mindedness.

Big Shot Rob has played in more playoff games than any other player, collected 7 rings under three coaches, and is easily better suited than any player on the planet to assess, from a player's perspective, the differences between PJ and Pop.

I'll take Rob's word as sincere. Yet, you can't say "if he had those players" without including "provided those players responded to yelling."

horry isn't gonna say phil jackson is the better coach when he is playing for pop right now.

Pop might be the better coach, but I'd never trade him for PJ.
