When the Chicago Bulls promoted Phil Jackson to Head Coach in 1989, Michael Jordan was averaging 32.5ppg, 8.0rpg, and 8.0apg.
MJ was a 5x All-Star. He had won the Defensive Player of the Year award. He was All-NBA 1st team, and All-Defensive 1st team.
He was the league’s leading scorer, and he was the 2x League MVP.
————————————————
Phil Jackson, a relative nobody, and a rookie Head Coach walked in on day 1, and told the team that he was scrapping the offense.
Michael Jordan was LIVID!!! Why ruin a good thing?!!!!! He was on top of the WORLD, and the Bulls had just lost to the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Phil explained to the team that the Bulls were never going to beat the Detroit Pistons running an offense where MJ iso’d at the top of the key, and played 1-on-5.
He introduced the triangle, an offensive concept that stressed constant ball movement, and made it much tougher for teams to focus entire defensive schemes on stopping ONE player.
After initially resisting these changes, Michael Jordan reluctantly bought in.
2 years later he was an NBA Champion.
————————————————-
During Caitlin Clark’s rookie year, she averaged 19 points, 5 rebounds, and 9 assists.
Her TEAM sucked, finishing the year with a record of 20-20 before losing in the 1st round of the playoffs.
The Head Coach was fired following the conclusion of that failed season.
She was replaced by Stephanie White. Stephanie White immediately coached the Fever to within ONE GAME of the WNBA Finals withOUT Caitlin Clark.
Stephanie is now asking Caitlin Clark to buy into her offensive philosophy. Caitlin is refusing to do so, sulking, and even quitting on the team in multiple games.
If MJ at the HEIGHT of his individual success could sacrifice his personal preferences for the sake of TEAM success….!!!!

@hovah76 thank you for having the energy to dispute these idiots who didn't start watching basketball until Iowa went to the Final Four. It's so refreshing
@TheBrianShapiro He's French, just to correct the one mistake in the video, so it's not even HIS national anthem. That makes the outrage even more preposterous
