The irony is that Jackson did it against the team that runs another legendary, and perhaps much better teacher than him, as is Larry Brown, the "wanderers" of the NBA Betting , which has dedicated itself to teaching the fundamentals of basketball both college and professional level.
But statistics are what count and Jackson, who first came to the Lakers in 1999, to leave in 2004 and returned a year later, in 2005, with 534 victories surpassed Pat Riley (533), His eternal rival both on and off the field.
Jackson, who has been fortunate to lead, first to the Chicago Bulls with Michael Jordan of the legendary figure, then the Lakers, with Shaquille O'Neal duo with Kobe Bryant, and now incorporated the Spanish power forward Pau Gasol, Shaq replacing veteran, acknowledged that leading this team is "special".
"The fact we had some great teams, like players, you always have to give credit to them." Jackson reiterated that his mind was the concept of an individual record of achievement but a team.
The coach of the Lakers, who already in the Hall of Fame, also won 545 games in six league titles in nine seasons he was with the Bulls, Jordan until he retired.
Jackson came after the Lakers to win three straight titles with O'Neal-Bryant partner and last year won the fourth to take the help of Gasol.
The mark of 10 league titles is the best in NBA betting history to overcome the nine that won the legendary Red Auberbach, with the Boston Celtics.
The Lakers coach also ranks fifth on the list of all-time wins (1,079) after overcoming the early season Brown himself, who has run no fewer than 10 professional teams, two in the defunct American Association Basketball (ABA).
However, Jackson is the winningest coach in the finals and the only coach to win more than 70% of the games of the regular league competition.
Jackson's new brand comes two days after Bryant also unseat the list of leaders of all time scorer for the Lakers to the legendary Jerry West, his mentor and protector since joining the team.
