Phil Jackson's parents were both Christians and pastors in Deer House, and he went out on a mission every morning and evening.

Phil Jackson and his siblings also grew up living an ascetic-like life, without television and without dancing. Phil's dream as a child was to be a staunch believer in Christianity and a priest, just like his father.

Phil Jackson's life changed when he was in high school.

Jackson's high school attendance was at Williston High School in North Koda. Montana is bordered by North Dakota to the east and Minnesota to the east of North Dakota. All three states are on the U.S.-Canada border, but Minnesota, the westernmost part of the Great Lakes industrial zone, is so bustling that it's so bustling, at least compared to Montana and North Dakota, that it's even had NBA teams — the Minneapolis Lakers just moved out to Los Angeles, the big city of the West Coast, when Phil Jackson was in high school.

Compared with Minnesota, Montana and North Dakota can only engage in agriculture and animal husbandry, and Williston, where Phil Jackson High School is located, has a population of 10,000.

In China, a larger street office can manage a population of 100,000, but in North Dakota at that time, Williston with a population of 10,000 was the sixth largest city in the state, and Phil Jackson never thought that there would be such a big city in the world!

In this large city of 10,000 people, Phil Jackson saw movies for the first time and was exposed to sports for the first time. Standing at 2.03 meters tall, he quickly became a member of the varsity basketball team and led the varsity team to two state championships.

At this time, the opportunity came, and the coach of the University of North Dakota took a fancy to him.

To say that the coach of the University of North Dakota is not an ordinary man, he later entered the NBA and became one of the top ten coaches in the NBA, led the Celtics to win the championship, and was the first coach in the league to achieve a thousand defeats - he is Bill Fitch.

Bill Fitch and Phil Jackson, a teacher-student duo, played well in the NCAA, but unfortunately the league in which the University of North Dakota was in was only NCAA Division II, and they did not win the championship, falling to Southern Illinois University for two consecutive years.

The ace player at Southern Illinois at the time was named Walter Fraser.

If you don't say it, this is fate.

Fraser and Phil Jackson both participated in the 1967 draft, a star-studded draft that year, Walter Fraser was picked by the New York Knicks with the No. 5 pick in the first round, and Phil Jackson was the 17th pick in the second round, also selected by the New York Knicks, and his former opponent became teammates!

Yes, Phil Jackson is a second-round pick, but he is the 17th pick, because there were only 10 teams in the NBA in the 66-67 season, and the new additions this year are the Seattle SuperSonics and the San Diego Rockets, a total of 12 teams, so the Knicks' first-round pick is the fifth pick, and the second-round pick is the 17th pick.

The star of the year was Earl Monroe, who was drafted by the Bullets (Wizards) team, and people thought that he would become lifelong enemies with No. 5 pick Fraser, but they never thought that the two would end up in New York, become teammates, and win the championship together, and their jerseys were honorably retired at Madison Square Garden.

The No. 7 pick in '67 was the 1.93-meter-tall talented striker swingman Pat Riley. In the 60s, the average height of the NBA was shorter than that of modern times, and legendary center Bill Russell was only 2.06 meters, and Pat Riley was 1.93 meters long to play small forward.

The team that selected Riley was the league's newcomer San Diego Rockets, and in '68, the Rockets chose another 1.85-meter point guard named Rick Adelman.

Haha, didn't expect that, right? Riley and Adelman were teammates!

At that time, the boss of the Rockets was Elvin Hayes, a superstar, who later went to the Wizards (Bullets) and won a championship, and the jersey was retired with the Wizards (Bullets).

In 1970, the Rockets drafted Rudy Tomjanovic with their No. 1 pick, but unfortunately, Riley and Adelman were both traded away by the Rockets that offseason, one went to the Lakers and the other went to the Trail Blazers, and the Rockets themselves moved from San Diego to Houston this summer, and the three coaches did not happen.

But it's also a good thing that these three people are not together.

Riley, who went to the Lakers, followed a generation of famous coach Bill Sherman, took a championship ring as a player, and later became a coach, helping the Lakers win five championships (one assistant coach and four head coaches).

Tomjanovic stayed with the Rockets and did not win a championship as a player, then worked as an assistant coach for Bill Fitch and later replaced Don Cheney as head coach, winning two championships for the Rockets.

Adelman's accomplishments were the lowest, he played three years with the Trail Blazers before being traded again, and by the time he returned to the Trail Blazers in '83 to coach Jack Ramsey, the Trail Blazers were no longer the championship team of '78.

Later, Adelman became the head coach of the Trail Blazers, leading the team to the Finals twice.

Not to mention the historical legends of the Rockets, just say that Phil Jackson went to the Knicks and met another mentor in his life, the red-headed Reed Holzman.

Not to mention that a person's life depends on self-struggle, but also to consider the historical process.

If it weren't for the words and deeds of Bill Fitch and Reed Holzman, Phil Jackson might not have been a famous coach. But then again, there are more disciples of these two famous handsomes, but the highest achievement is still Phil Jackson!

Time, luck, and fate, Phil Jackson is the one whose fortune and ability are at the right time!

After the Bulls won six championships, Phil Jackson's annual salary has skyrocketed and he is now a millionaire. At this point, he returned to his native state of Montana and bought a farm in the Lakeside area, just north of Deer House.

54-year-old Jackson now likes to live a leisurely farmer life, herding cattle and sheep every day, and unlike when he was a child, he now has a TV at home and can watch NBA live from time to time!

However, in his leisurely life, Phil also felt a little lonely.

He has lived in New York, the largest metropolis in the United States, for more than ten years, and in Chicago, the third largest metropolis in the United States, for more than ten years.

On this day, Phil Jackson had just killed a wolf on the edge of the manor with his shotgun when he saw two uninvited guests.

Phil Jackson smiled.

This year, most of the team's management has called him, and there are a lot of people who come to visit. However, all the invitations were rejected by him.

He is cautious about his comeback, and he doesn't want to smash his golden signboard with six crowns in hand. The Los Angeles Lakers seem to be a very good option right now, they have the best stars but never win a championship.

"I won two championship rings in New York, the third largest city in the country, six more championship rings in Chicago, the third largest city in the country, and now it's the turn of Los Angeles, the second largest city in the country. If I could wear a championship ring in Los Angeles, my life would be perfect! ”

So, at the kind invitation of the Lakers owner and general manager, Jackson, who had declared that he would no longer coach, decided to give the Lakers a chance!
