What are you trying to say, OP?

Sounds racist.

[SouBeachTalents]

Jackson only has one ring as a player

[sammichoffate]

What are you trying to say, OP?

Sounds racist.Means if you had one of them as a coach, you probably have a ring. If you weren't, there's a good chance that you don't. There's also a good chance of you having MULTIPLE rings if you had them has a coach. It also discourages criticism for great players that don't have rings.

Jackson only has one ring as a player1970, 1973

[Lebronxrings]

Dayum, just shows how great those coaches were. Any player who played under them probably had their skills multiplied.

[T_L_P]

They had Magic, Kareem, Bird, Duncan, Shaq, Kobe, LeBron, Jordan, and Russell.

Hakeem. :bowdown:

LeBron's the only one on the above list who played under a Puppeteer and has less than 3 rings in is career. :eek:

1/9 is also still 29 years old and has plenty of years left to add to the ring count, or even mvp count

lol i'm just kinda dicking around, but I'm saying LeBron is the one who still has a shot to win a ring without a pupeeteer - a la Cavs

[sammichoffate]

1970, 1973
No. Minimum of one game to get a ring. PJ missed the '70 Finals with back surgery.
