Lakers News: Luke Walton Calls Phil Jackson ‘Greatest Coach To Ever Coach Our Game’

Former Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers head coach Phil Jackson is one of the most successful coaches of all time.

Jackson won 11 championships (six with the Bulls and five with the Lakers) and it has helped him gain legendary status in the sports community. Jackson is yet again receiving praise as ESPN’s ‘The Last Dance’ takes over the sports world.

This legendary status was recognized by Sacramento Kings head coach Luke Walton, who played under Jackson for all but three seasons of his career. Jackson has been able to coach some of the greatest players of all time and has taken teams from good to true greats under his leadership.
