I knew I would do terribly on this quiz because I haven't cared about basketball since 1998. But I wanted to see just how many times Phil Jackson's name popped up. Holy cow!

True, though all but one of those were truly dominant teams. 80s Lakers with Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar, Worthy; 90s Bulls teams with Jordan and Pippen; Spurs teams with Duncan, Parker, Ginobili; 2000s Lakers with O'Neal and Bryant. The only outlier is the 2006 Heat, though Wade was the real star.
