True...I did't say "good," but the point is he is
defensive minded, and he clearly brought that to
LA. Not that they are a great defensive club now, but
they got better enough to turn the corner.

Defense, in all sports (look at the last three Super Bowls), is key to championship level success. Even Shaq's group didn't get over the top until Phil ( a hard nosed defender in his day) showed up and showed 'em how.

Phil Jackson may have been a hard nosed defender,but he wasn't personally known as a particularly "good" defender.He was a "banger",not a "stopper".He admitted that in his autobiography--written in his flower child days in the '70s.
