I don't know I think you are being kind of hard on Jackson. Not many people picked LA to make the finals before the season started. The west was stacked and they plowed through it. The front line got exposed in the finals.

Euro players just don't step up when you need to get tough.

Look back at those old Celtic teams and they had the best roster by far every year. Which is why they won. They had HOF's up and down the lineup. That doesn't discount Red but it's the same point.

The best team usually wins and the Celtics were the best team.
