It is always different when you have gone through the hard grind of an NBA season yourself as a player, and then you try to preach it to other players that are also trying to carve out their NBA careers. Some of the more successful players-turned-NBA-coaches include the 11-time NBA champion coach Phil Jackson, who was part of the 1972-73 championship roster of the New York Knicks. He soon became an assistant for the Chicago Bulls in the 80s before he took the reins as the head coach and won six titles for them in the 90s. Jackson then won five more titles for the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2000s era to become the all-time leader in most championships won as a head coach in the NBA. Many other former NBA players have found themselves coaching teams in the big league. These include Bill Russell (who once played for the Celtics and ended up coaching them), Larry Bird (who played for Boston but coached the Pacers later on), Doc Rivers (who was a key part of the Hawks in the 80s and won a title with the Celtics as a coach), and Byron Scott (who was a key member of the Showtime Lakers and coached the New Orleans Hornets and the Lakers soon afterward, among others).
