<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Jurassic:</div><div class="quote_post">I think it's disrespectful that people would compare the Lakers to the 6ers and not mention Rudy T.</div> Its not disrepectful at all. Phil Jackson is a much better coach then Rudy T. Dont get me wrong Rudy T is good but no where near Jackson caliber yet. Phil Jackson is tied with Red Auerbach for most rings ever. Also dont give me this crap about "he gets all the good player". Lets see something. Shaqs rings without Phil:0 Kobe rings without Phil:0 MJs rings without Phil: 0 Scotties rings with out Phil: Yup you guess it 0 Thses are some of the best players the game has ever know and none have won a ring with out Phil. KJ had the chance to carry his team with Pippen. Pippen also had the chance of winning one as a trail blazer but was defeated by Phil Jacksons team. I hate when people ripp on Phil about him having the best players all the time. The numbers dont lie.

I hate to bring this into it, but it all relies on Kobe's case. Without Kobe, the Lakers won't make the playoffs, and the Sixers would have a better record then them, and only then. The Lakers right now have a much stronger core of role players, making this question obvious. Lakers.
