Phil Jackson becomes winningest coach in Lakers’ history..

Feb 4th, 2010 | By The Go-To-Man Mattie T. | Category: Sports

In a tight game, the Los Angeles Lakers squeezed past the Charlotte Bobcats 99-97 on Wednesday evening to give Phil Jackson his franchise record 534th win.

Jackson is just 11 more wins away to match the 545 that he amassed in 9 years with the Chicago Bulls, but he found a way to win despite getting just 5 points out of Kobe Bryant. (sore foot)

Phil commented on his historic win afterwards:

“It’s been a really good run. Having this opportunity to coach this team is always special. The fact that we’ve had some great teams, great players, is always a credit to them. It’s not really an individual record in my mind.”

Even though Bryant had one of the lowest-scoring games of his career on Wednesday, he was able to surpass Jerry West as the team’s all-time leading scorer during Los Angeles’ 95-93 loss to Memphis on Monday.
