Beyond Phil Jackson's calm, humble, confident and very focused guy, is a genius. Facts and records can be shown with his achievements as a former coach of Chicago Bulls and now as a coach of L.A. Lakers.

In history of NBA only Phil Jackson has made things brighter on his side. In 1995-96 season, under Jackson's guidance, the Bulls rolled to a magnificent
72-10 regular season record. In his first year as head coach of the L.A. Lakers, Jackson once again applied his coaching wizardry to
perfection; guiding the team towards championship.

Statistic shows that Jackson has a career coaching record of 612-208, and boasts a remarkable winning percentage of .746 which is far superior to any other coach. All this has resulted in a total of 7 NBA championship titles. None of the coaches have the same level of achievement as Jackson. If ever Phil Jackson would coach another team, for sure that team would be on the Semi-finals top list.
