<< he simply gets too much credit for babysitting the top players in the world..while picking up a nice check and gaining such high praise for doing what hundreds of coaches could have done >>
Although I think Jackson deserves credit for capitalizing on the opportunities presented to him in Chicago and Los Angeles, that doesn't change the fact that he's just that: an opportunist. Jackson has admitted that he couldn't handle being in a losing or rebuilding situation, and I think the majority of people out there believe that any number of coaches could have won titles in Chicago and/or LA with the talent that Jackson had at his disposal.
