Despite Michael Jordan?s Weak Physical Prowess, 13x NBA Champion Reflects on Bulls Legend?s ?Kicka**? Mentality

Making it to the NBA and leading your team to six NBA Championship titles is not an easy feat. It takes a special kind of player, of a certain pedigree and competence, to pull off something this historic. Michael Jordan not only won multiple championships but also took home five NBA MVP awards and ten scoring titles during his prime. Jordan’s legendary head coach once opened up on how His Airness could accomplish all this.

Anecdotes of Michael Jordan being unwell and still booting up for legendary performances are well remembered to this day. No modern star has replicated MJ’s 90s record. Winning multiple three-peats in the NBA is difficult as even the Golden State Warriors with their star-studded team weren’t able to do what Jordan did.

Legendary coach reflects on Michael Jordan

Phil Jackson is one of the most successful men in the world of basketball. He won two titles with the New York Knicks in 1970 and 1973 and found immense success as a coach. He won six championship titles as a coach of the Chicago Bulls and won five more with the Los Angeles Lakers.

In total, he’s won 13 NBA titles with three of the most valuable franchises in the league. Nothing to sneeze at.

Phil Jackson said, “Michael Jordan used to let me bring five guys, celebrities, to watch the game at night. He kicking some a**, playing pretty hard.”

He reminisced of a time when he came across a producer on the beach who made it clear that he is a Jordan fanboy having seen his skills firsthand. Even in his later years when Jordan lost some of his physicality, he was still a force to be reckoned with. A testament to how high his basketball IQ was.

Jackson definitely had a special relationship with the five-time MVP. He came clean on how he used to handle the relationship with his Chicago Bulls?star man.

Phil Jackson on his relationship with MJ

Phil Jackson opened up on his relationship with the NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan.

The 3-time Champion said, ” I think it?s those little interactions. I don?t think it?s sitting down. There?s once the preseason, postseason, mid-season, you know where you?re sitting down, how?s it going once again? But it?s those moments that you have inside of the activity that?s going on that brings the moment when you can touch that thing.”

Phil made it clear that he used to communicate properly with Jordan in order to maximize his relationship with the ten-time scoring champion. It’s rather inspiring to see two major personalities work so well together over so many years.

Unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said about Jackson’s second stint with the Knicks.
