  When I hear about people dying unexpectedly it only reminds me of how fortunate I am to be here inspite of whatever adversities I may face. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family during this tough time. And well wishes go out to Wayman Tisdale. I hope that he recovers quickly. Another example of how blessed we are and sometimes we don't even realize it.

    well said......reminds me of so many cliches (live everyday like its your last, so on and so forth)........but the one that has stuck in my head lately is not so much a cliche but a lyric from the late great Mr. Peter Tosh and I'm not sure how it really goes with this but here goes..........."everybody want to go to heaven but nobody want to die"

  I think what Phil meant was that MJ did not need alot of coaching so there was not alot of reward in telling MJ anything, however Dennis on the other hand needed a ton of coaching and Phil was an integral part in bringing out the best in Dennis and making the "dirty work" Dennis did as recognized by the fans as the great scoring ability of MJ. The Lakers had Kobe/Shaq and Del Harris coaching and were mediocre at best. Phil comes to LA brings his offensive tactics and schemes built for Shaq and in the ifrst year the Lakers crush the competiotion and win a title. I think that right there proves he is one of the greatest
