After winning six championships with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, Phil Jackson quickly accomplished another three-peat with the LA Lakers. When forced to choose between the two iconic teams, the legendary coach did not hold back with his true thoughts.
During the 1990's, the Bulls had a vice grip on the NBA. Even with MJ retiring for a brief stretch, they managed to win six titles in that decade. Following his time in Chicago, Jackson was fortunate enough to find himself coaching another team with multiple all-time talents. With Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal at the helm, the Lakers accomplished a three-peat of their own.
Back in the 2000's, Jackson was asked how a hypothetical matchup between Michael Jordan's Bulls and Shaq's Lakers would fare. He admitted that Chicago would have troubles, but did mention they did take down the dominant center earlier in his career.
