Kobe/Lakers BEGGED Phil to come back
One of the BIGGEST ways to start repairing Kobe's "image" is to make amends with the guy who has won 9 championships (at the time) and wrote a book in which he called him "Uncoachable"
secondly, the lakers would have had to suffer through years of ty coaches.
They had to pay him 12 mil a season to convince him to come back.
That's like saying the New Jersey Nets were le contenders in 2001 and 2002. The 1991 Lakers making it to the Finals only exposed how weak the Western Conference was during that transition time of the Boston/Lakers 80s until the Duncan Spurs and Shaq Lakers started to emerge in the late 90s.
And the Lakers didn't get back to legit le contention until they hired Phil Jackson. As if Mike Dunleavy, Kurt Rambis, or Del Harris could make any of those Laker teams serious contenders.... ummm, no.
Back? Back to what? The playoffs? Eight teams make it from each conference. BFD. The fact is, if you subtract the Jackson years, there would be a 20+ year championship drought in LA.
I expect Phil to either retire (I read the show transcript. He's not at all wild about the 82 game season) or go wherever LeBron does. He's a talent vampire. He rides each "best player" into the ground and then moves on.
Jackson's rich as and doesn't have anything left to prove. I'd run off to Montana too.
It's a contract ploy. Phil already said earlier he was coming back for another year.
This, or he is trying to motivate his players
