Phil Jackson's unconventional coaching practices were touched on in Sunday night's airing of the two latest episodes of The Last Dance, the 10-part docuseries diving into Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls and their most recent title run in 1998. In some ways, they liken to that of Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse.
Jackson, who brought Buddhism, Zen, and other unconventional practices to the table to help his players stay centered on the court and on the common goal, is one of the league's most successful coaches of all-time, leading the league in titles won with 11, six with the Chicago Bulls and five with the Los Angeles Lakers.
