He's saying that Larry Brown played a very large role in building the team from the ground up, and that Jackson took over teams that were already good, unfortunately the team Larry Brown won a trophy with, he didn't build from the ground up, he took over after they won 50 games and made the conference finals.
So IMO the "He built a championship team from the ground up, Jackson never did" argument would fly, except he didn't build that team from the ground up, he did exactly what the poster is criticizing Jackson for, he took over a team that was already good.
