Happy Birthday, Phil Jackson! The Zen Master himself—who else could convince Michael Jordan to meditate or Shaq and Kobe to share the ball? Your legendary triangle offense brought more rings than fingers can handle. With 11 NBA championships under your belt (and probably a closet full of championship hats), you've set standards higher than Kareem's skyhook.From Chicago Bulls' dominance in the '90s to guiding our beloved Lakers through unforgettable three-peats, you’ve given basketball fans countless reasons to celebrate. May your birthday be as smooth as MJ’s fadeaway jumper and filled with laughter louder than Shaq at practice. Cheers!
