But when it comes to deciding the franchise’s all-time best coach, there are only two options: Pat Riley or Phil Jackson.

This article will compare the two men’s careers as coach of the Lakers. Not only will the coaches’ championships and overall statistics be compared, but I have written two slides for each coach arguing why they can legitimately be considered the franchise’s all-time best coach.
But before we get down to the nitty gritty, let’s take a look at each coach’s respective journey to Los Angeles.
