Alongside Hall of Famer Red Auerbach and future Hall of Famer Gregg Popovich, the two greatest coaches in NBA history that immediately come to mind are Phil Jackson and Pat Riley. They both coached the Los Angeles Lakers, and have had some of the best players ever on their teams. Phil Jackson won 11 NBA championships as a coach, including 6 with the Bulls and 5 with the Lakers. Having the luxury of coaching Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O’Neal certainly helped him achieve these extraordinary accolades. Phil Jackson was also an executive for the New York Knicks, where he had one of the greatest scorers ever in Carmelo Anthony.除了名人堂成员雷德-奥尔巴赫和未来的名人堂成员格雷格-波波维奇之外，NBA历史上最伟大的两位教练是菲尔-杰克逊和帕特-莱利。他们都曾执教过洛杉矶湖人队，并在他们的球队中拥有一些有史以来最好的球员。菲尔-杰克逊作为教练赢得了11个NBA冠军，包括在公牛队和湖人队的6个冠军。有机会执教迈克尔-乔丹、科比-布莱恩特和沙奎尔-奥尼尔，当然有助于他取得这些非凡的荣誉。菲尔-杰克逊也是纽约尼克斯队的高管，在那里他拥有史上最伟大的得分手之一的卡梅罗-安东尼。

Meanwhile, Pat Riley won 5 NBA titles with the Lakers and 1 with the Miami Heat in 2006 as the head coach. Riley also won a title in 1980 as an assistant coach, and 2 titles as an executive in 2012 and 2013. That means that Riley has 9 championships whenever he was directly involved in the Miami Heat team and organization. But which Hall of Fame personality had the better group of players? By deciding the best 12 players that each legend has ever had as a coach or executive, we will decide on which team comes out on top in a 7-game series.同时，帕特-莱利在湖人队赢得了5个NBA冠军，2006年作为主教练在迈阿密热火队赢得了1个冠军。莱利还在1980年作为助理教练赢得了一个冠军，并在2012年和2013年作为管理人员赢得了2个冠军。这意味着，只要莱利直接参与迈阿密热火队和组织的工作，他就有9个冠军。但是，哪个名人堂的人物拥有更好的球员群体呢？通过决定每个传奇人物作为教练或行政人员所拥有的最好的12名球员，我们将决定哪支球队在7场比赛中脱颖而出。

Phil Jackson’s All-Time Team菲尔-杰克逊的历史团队

首发阵容：科比-布莱恩特，迈克尔-乔丹，斯科蒂-皮蓬，丹尼斯-罗德曼，沙奎尔-奥尼尔

板凳：罗恩-哈珀、格伦-莱斯、卡梅罗-安东尼、拉马尔-奥多姆、托尼-库科克、保罗-加索尔、安德鲁-拜纳姆

Pat Riley’s All-Time Team帕特-莱利的全明星队

Starting Lineup: Magic Johnson, Dwyane Wade, James Worthy, LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar首发阵容：魔术师约翰逊，德怀恩-韦德，詹姆斯-沃西，勒布朗-詹姆斯，卡里姆-阿卜杜勒-贾巴尔

Bench: Tim Hardaway, Byron Scott, Jimmy Butler, Chris Bosh, Charles Oakley, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning板凳：蒂姆-哈达威、拜伦-斯科特，吉米-巴特勒，克里斯-波什，查尔斯-奥克利，帕特里克-尤因，阿隆佐-莫宁

Obviously, the starting lineups of both Jackson and Riley are ridiculous. In terms of raw talent and ability on both ends of the floor, no team in NBA history comes close to fielding a starting lineup like this. It is beyond perfection in every way for both sides. For Team Phil, Kobe Bryant will likely handle the ball as his team’s primary point guard. Bryant has stated on occasions how he hates bringing the ball up, but that will be necessary to allow Jordan his space to score at will.很明显，杰克逊和莱利的首发阵容都很荒唐。就原始天赋和能力而言，NBA历史上没有一支球队能接近这样的首发阵容。对双方来说，这在各方面都是超越完美的。对于菲尔队来说，科比-布莱恩特可能会作为球队的主要得分后卫处理球。布莱恩特曾多次表示，他不喜欢把球带起来，但这对于让乔丹有空间随意得分是必要的。

Of course, Scottie Pippen will also share ball-handling duties as he did with the Chicago Bulls alongside Jordan. Rodman will be the defensive specialist and will own the paint next to arguably the most dominant physical force in NBA history. O’Neal and Rodman will be tough to handle on the boards, and they complement each other perfectly.当然，斯科特-皮蓬也将分担控球任务，就像他在芝加哥公牛队与乔丹一起时那样。罗德曼将是防守专家，他将在可以说是NBA历史上在油漆区最有统治力的防守球员。奥尼尔和罗德曼在篮板上将是很难对付的，他们完美地相互补充。

For Team Riley, his lineup has the perfect mix of unselfish superstars and team players. Magic and LeBron are arguably the two greatest on-court leaders in NBA history and will be the better team on the fast break with Wade and Worthy running alongside them. Having Kareem Abdul-Jabbar means that O’Neal will be forced to play defense every game of the series, which will minimize The Diesel’s impact on both ends of the floor. In a nutshell, the starting lineups will be about dominant inpiduals against team stars.对于莱利团队来说，他的阵容是无私的超级明星和团队球员的完美组合。魔术师和勒布朗可以说是NBA历史上最伟大的两位场上领袖，在韦德和沃西并肩作战的情况下，他们将成为快攻中更好的球队。拥有卡里姆-阿卜杜勒-贾巴尔意味着奥尼尔将被迫在系列赛的每场比赛中进行防守，这将使奥尼尔在场攻防两端的影响降到最低。一言以蔽之，首发阵容将是有统治力的个人对阵团队明星。

Bench板凳

Phil Jackson’s All-Time Team: Ron Harper, Glen Rice, Carmelo Anthony, Lamar Odom, Toni Kukoc, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum菲尔-杰克逊的全明星阵容：罗恩-哈珀、格伦-莱斯、卡梅罗-安东尼、拉马尔-奥多姆、托尼-库科克、保罗-加索尔、安德鲁-拜纳姆

Pat Riley’s All-Time Team: Tim Hardaway, Byron Scott, Jimmy Butler, Chris Bosh, Charles Oakley, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning帕特-莱利的全明星阵容：蒂姆-哈达威、拜伦-斯科特，吉米-巴特勒，克里斯-波什，查尔斯-奥克利，帕特里克-尤因，阿隆佐-莫宁

It is far too difficult to distinguish between the benches of both sides because there are superstars and Hall of Famers that can come in the game in a heartbeat. Team Phil has arguably the best possible scoring option in Carmelo Anthony to come into the game because the man was unstoppable with the New York Knicks with Jackson as an executive. Anthony averaged 24.7 PPG during his 7 seasons with the Knicks and will form a nice partnership with Lamar Odom who is a versatile forward who can pass, rebound, and score.要区分双方的板凳是太难了，因为有超级巨星和名人堂成员可以在比赛中出现。菲尔队的卡梅罗-安东尼可以说是最有可能上场的得分选择，因为此人在杰克逊担任高管的纽约尼克斯队中是不可阻挡的。安东尼在为尼克斯队效力的7个赛季中，场均24.7分，并将与拉马尔-奥多姆形成良好的合作关系，后者是一个能传球、篮板和得分的全能前锋。

Kukoc, Gasol, and Bynum can all score the ball in one-on-one situations and provide exceptional size to deal with Team Riley’s squad. Glen Rice is one of the best shooters in NBA history (40.0% career 3-Pt FG) and Ron Harper is one of the best lockdown defenders ever. For Pat Riley, he has a host of different types of players to throw at Phil Jackson’s team. Hardaway and Scott can handle the ball and score, while Jimmy Butler can be relied upon to play lockdown defense against the best scorer on the court. Bosh and Oakley provide size, but the main men off the bench are Ewing and Mourning. It will be difficult for Gasol or Bynum to handle these two bigs and that will give Team Riley the best advantage in the series.库科克、加索尔和拜纳姆都能在一对一的情况下得分，并提供特殊的体型来对付莱利队的队伍。格伦-莱斯是NBA历史上最好的射手之一（职业生涯三分球命中率40.0%），罗恩-哈珀是有史以来最好的锁定防守者之一。对于帕特-莱利来说，他有一大批不同类型的球员可以扔给菲尔-杰克逊的球队。哈达威和斯科特可以处理球并得分，而吉米-巴特勒可以依靠对球场上最好的得分手进行封锁式防守。波什和奥克利提供了射程，但替补席上的主要人员是尤因和莫宁。加索尔或拜纳姆将很难对付这两个大个子，这将使莱利队在系列赛中获得最佳优势。

Phil Jackson Team Advantage菲尔-杰克逊的团队优势

Phil Jackson’s side has one glaring advantage: scoring. Michael Jordan, a 10-time scoring champion, is the greatest offensive player we have ever seen. Whether he attacks the rim, posts up, or pulls up from mid-range; he is almost perfect as an offensive player. That means when he is not double-teamed, the opposing team is at risk of giving up 40 or 50 points by the Bulls legend. On this team, double-teaming Jordan is out of the question.菲尔-杰克逊的球队有一个明显的优势：得分，迈克尔-乔丹，10次得分冠军，是我们所见过的最伟大的进攻型球员。无论他是攻击篮板，还是贴身防守，还是中距离拉杆，他作为一名进攻球员几乎是完美的。这意味着，当他没有被双人包夹时，对方球队就有可能被公牛队的传奇人物送出40或50分。在这支球队，对乔丹进行双人包夹是不可能的。

Kobe Bryant will destroy Team Riley if he has space to operate, which means man-to-man defense will be employed against Team Phil. Covering Shaq in a single cover might even be a bigger disaster because he is too powerful and too dominant against any defender in history. The presence of Abdul-Jabbar will be a nuisance for Shaq, but The Diesel will still be dominant. Rodman and Pippen only have to do what they do best to allow Jordan, Kobe, and O’Neal to shine’ while the bench comes in for some more offensive firepower.如果科比有活动空间，他将摧毁莱利队，这意味着对菲尔队将采用人盯人防守。用单人掩护沙克甚至可能是更大的灾难，因为他对历史上任何一个防守者都太强大、太有优势了。阿卜杜勒-贾巴尔的存在将对沙克造成困扰，但 "柴油机 "仍将具有统治力。罗德曼和皮蓬只需要做他们最擅长的事情，让乔丹、科比和奥尼尔大放异彩'，而替补席上的人则会有更多的进攻火力。

Pat Riley Team Advantage帕特-莱利团队的优势

Team Riley will be the greatest “Showtime” incarnation in the history of basketball. Magic, Worthy, and Kareem were a force in that regard; but adding in LeBron James and Dwyane Wade makes this an unstoppable team on the break. Whenever Kareem or James grab rebounds off misses, Team Riley will almost always score. They are too inclined to run on the break, and even the best defense in NBA history will not be able to stop them in that regard.莱利队将是篮球史上最伟大的 "Showtime "化身。魔术师、沃西和卡里姆在这方面是一股力量；但加上勒布朗-詹姆斯和德怀恩-韦德，这支球队在突破上是不可阻挡的。每当卡里姆或詹姆斯从失误中抢到篮板，莱利队几乎总是会得分。他们太倾向于在突破时跑动，即使是NBA历史上最好的防守，也无法在这方面阻止他们。

Team Riley will also not have the problem of selecting the main scorer on the team because everyone plays the game the right way. Magic and LeBron are the best floor generals in NBA history, and Riley’s bench has go-to scorers in the post in Ewing and Mourning. Riley’s squad is strong on both ends of the floor, but their calling card will be the fast break.莱利队也不会有选择球队主要得分手的问题，因为每个人都以正确的方式打球。魔术师和勒布朗是NBA历史上最好的球场指挥官，而莱利的板凳上有尤因和莫宁这些后场的主要得分手。莱利的球队在地板的两端都很强大，但他们的名片将是快攻。

Conclusion结论

As great as Team Riley is, there is simply no betting against Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O’Neal. Egos aside, there is too much firepower and mental toughness for Team Riley to overcome, and limiting any of these 3 stars to under 30 PPG in the series is too big of a mountain to climb. The series will go 6 games, with an OT victory in Game 6 deciding the outcome once and for all. Magic Johnson and LeBron James are exceptional floor generals and the likes of Ewing, Mourning, and Abdul-Jabbar are a handful; but they lack the raw half-court scoring that Team Phil brings.尽管莱利队很出色，但根本无法与迈克尔-乔丹、科比-布莱恩特和沙奎尔-奥尼尔对局。撇开自负不谈，莱利队有太多的火力和精神上的坚韧，而且在系列赛中限制这三位明星中的任何一位的场均得分低于30是一座难以翻越的大山。这个系列赛将进行6场比赛，第六场比赛的加时赛胜利将一劳永逸地决定结果。魔术师约翰逊和勒布朗-詹姆斯是出色的球场指挥官，尤因、莫宁和阿卜杜勒-贾巴尔等人也是一把好手；但他们缺乏菲尔团队带来的原始半场得分能力。

In a competitive series like this, fastbreak opportunities will become limited as games go on. That means Team Riley’s greatest strength is taken away, and that means Worthy and LeBron are forced to be perimeter scorers. Kareem gets the skyhook anytime he wants and will wreak havoc, but that is not enough to counter Jordan and Bryant. These are the two greatest perimeter scorers we have ever seen, and they will place their foot on the opposing team’s neck as soon as they catch fire. Adding in the scoring of O’Neal and Carmelo and the lockdown defense of Pippen, this series goes to 6 with the greatest player of all-time winning Finals MVP.在这样一个竞争激烈的系列赛中，随着比赛的进行，快速突破的机会将变得有限。这意味着莱利队的最大优势被剥夺了，这意味着沃西和勒布朗被迫成为外围得分手。卡里姆随时可以得到天钩，并会造成破坏，但这不足以对抗乔丹和布莱恩特。这是我们见过的最伟大的两名外围得分手，他们只要一发力，就会把脚放在对方的脖子上。再加上奥尼尔和卡梅罗的得分以及皮蓬的锁定防守，这个系列赛将进入6强，有史以来最伟大的球员将获得总决赛MVP。

Winner: Phil Jackson’s All-Time Team vs. Pat Riley’s All-Time Team 4-2
冠军：菲尔-杰克逊的历史团队对帕特-莱利的历史团队 4-2

Finals MVP: Michael Jordan (35.5 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 5.0 APG, 2.5 SPG)
总决赛MVP：迈克尔-乔丹（35.5 分, 5.5 篮板, 5.0 助攻, 2.5 抢断)
