After the team handed over the 11th regular season record win rate in the West, the Lakers finally chose to part ways with the team coach Vogel, and the Lakers are currently in a busy period of looking for a new manager. As a former Lakers team strength, former NBA player Odom is now also proposing a new coach to his old club, Odom said that only NBA legendary coach Phil Jackson can be qualified for the position of Lakers head coach, and the Lakers under Phil Jackson's coach will be able to win the championship trophy again.
"Phil Jackson was able to coach James with a triangle offense, which would have allowed James [at the Lakers] to stay a little longer. If Phil Jackson takes charge of the Lakers next season, they (the Lakers) will win the championship. Odom predicted. As we all know, Phil Jackson, nicknamed "Zen Master", is the top coach of the NBA League, he has as many as 13 NBA championship rings (2 in his player career), and has led the Bulls and Lakers to complete three consecutive championships, so he is the greatest head coach in the history of the league.
Therefore, when the Lakers are in the current bad situation, Odom is also the first to think of Phil Jackson, who once led the Lakers to create honors and glory, and firmly believes that Phil Jackson will be the best choice for the Lakers' head coach position. However, there is a saying that although Phil Jackson is indeed an honorary NBA league coach and also has a deep qualification to coach superstars, Phil Jackson is probably not suitable for the current Lakers, and the root cause is the bad relationship between Phil Jackson and James.
I believe that many old fans are also very clear about this, when Phil Jackson and James repeatedly and twice in the air, of which Phil Jackson publicly said: "James took ten thousand points that should not be taken by walking." "I don't like him (James), that's a very selfish guy" and so on. James's response was: "My respect for Jackson now is zero. All in all, the relationship between James and Phil Jackson has always been quite unhandled, so it is difficult to imagine that Phil Jackson will now go out to coach the Lakers again, and James is probably unlikely to accept Phil Jackson as the lakers coach, so Odom's suggestion is obviously extremely unreliable!
