Michael Jordan claims Phil Jackson wasn’t his best coach in Chicago #michaeljordan
Michael Jordan surprised on one occasion when he was asked to name the best coach he had in his career as he didn’t pick Phil Jackson with whom he won six rings or Doug Collins under whom he won his first MVP award rather he went with his first NBA coach Kevin Lockery “Loer may have been the best coach I’ve ever had here for me he pushed me to limits I didn’t think I could reach Mike said per the Chicago Tribune Loery who coached the Bulls from 83 to 85 shared once the story of Jordan’s very first practice with the team that got cut short because of him. The kid was playing like it was the seventh game of the finals. He was just so dominating. I felt like I had to cut practice short. Loggery said he gave me the confidence to play on this level. My first year he threw me the ball and said, “Hey kid, I know you can play. Go play.” Jordan said of his former coach. I don’t think that would have been the case going through another coach’s system. With other coaches, you have to fit into their systems.

Interesting, but understandable.
No phil no chips.
Maybe Mike was saying Loughtery was his favorite coach as a pro…not his best coach.
He didn't learn to win until Phil and Tex, he was selfish as heck.
