Mark Jackson I've had 7 or 8 Hall of Fame coaches Rick Pitino is the best coach I ever played for It instilled something in me where the dude had me believing I was better than Magic Johnson I know I'm not better than Magic but if you put me on a lie detector test I would have passed it

Stephen Jackson I know the type of person Tony Parker is Great player will go to the Hall of Fame We would have had more championships and more success if it wasn't for him being so selfish It is all about him Ginobili was totally different He was one of the best teammates I've ever had

Darko Rajakovic I think there is no success without the players Phil Jackson isnt Phil Jackson without Michael Jordan My Michael Jordan is Scottie Barnes A young guy with a big heart a great worker I am very grateful for him

Doc To every player who trusted me enough to coach them I'm sure there was times that I wasn't easy I'm sure there was times that I wasn't right But I can guarantee you every time my motives were right

Bill Russell One thing I have a quarrel with is that I had better players I personally worked with them to make them better players I did things physically emotionally and intellectually to make my teammates better players They took advantage of the situation that was part of my creation
