Phil is such a hypocrite...I hate it.
If you'da read his book you would actually think he was serious about not wanting to coach "uncoachable" Kobe again.

Am I the only one picturing the scene of Bobby Ewing in the shower on "Dallas," telling his wife he just had the strangest dream?

G_M said:I've said this before about Phil Jackson and Kobe. I read Phil's book and he slams Kobe for essentially being selfish, immature and narcissitic.
I just don't see those two personalities coexisting at this point. But, I guess that is the great challenge for the Zen master!![]()
VF21 said:I don't see it as a thing between Phil and Kobe. Personally, I think Dr. Buss sent a very loud message today by rehiring Jackson. I think he pretty much made it clear that he considers Jackson to be more important and valuable to the future of the Lakers than Kobe Bryant. I'm going to be watching with interest to see how this plays out.
If Kobe doesn't "worship at the feet of the Zen Master," is he going to become one of the most expensive pieces of trade bait ever? The Lakers could pretty much rebuild their entire team if they moved Kobe's salary. They're clearly in rebuild mode, so just how much of the old are they going to keep? Or, as I'm wondering, are they taking it down to the foundation and totally starting over?
It could get very interesting in LA this season.
