What are you trying to say, OP?

Sounds racist.

Jackson only has one ring as a player

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 player

1970, 1973

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

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

Hakeem.

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

And that same puppeteer called him a quitter and a coward.
