Lakers pick up new old coach
After embarrassingly finishing below the Clippers for the first time in about a decade and finishing the season without a coach, the Lakers have ended their flirtation with bringing Phil Jackson back and just done it. Of course, all it took was about $10 million a year and Kobe's approval (not to mention Phil is dating the owner's daughter). Phil was able to get something extra out of Michael Jordan and Shaq when each of them entered their primes, and will be looking to do the same with Kobe. Unfortunately for him (and the Lakers), Kobe has already heard his spiel and grown tired of it once. It is possible that after being THE MAN on the team and not being able to do much, he will listen more intently so that he can be recognized as the star he was and the star someone like Dwyane Wade has become.
