Kobe's resume continues to be applauded rightfully so, but the conversation of how it could've be added to never exists.

Because of an insane internal family dispute, the team in 2012-13 and beyond suffered like no other. Phil Jackson was asked by Jeanie and Kobe to come back after Brown was fired after 5 games, and after doctors cleared him to coach, he was suddenly notified by Jim Buss and Kupchak that they went with Mike D'Antoni after verbally agreeing to the job with Jeanie.

The system did not match the personnel and because of an ego hire, it's a wasted opportunity as Jeanie states and it boils my blood Kobe couldn't even get a chance at six.

Phil being back means Kobe and Pau are managed correctly, Dwight is utilized to his strengths and probably stays (he also reveals later he wanted to play for Phil) and Kobe's drive and ego never gets to a point where he averages 45 minutes a game, thus tearing his achilles and effectively ending his prime for good.

I was a teenager and this is before breaking tweets and RealGM with rumors and what not, so first take is all we had. Go look back at every laker segment they had and it's SAS absolutely ripping Jim Buss for years every single time and I never knew why.

This was why, being at the center of one of the greatest what ifs in LA history in the worst possible way.

I hope nothing but the worst on that piece of shyt. He should remove his last name

lol, but all Laker fans knew this. jim buss was one of the worst things to ever happen to GOAT franchise. He’s also the one that drove Kobe to demand a trade before Dr. Buss stepped in and took back the reigns.

With that said, to be fair to cokehead he was about to get CP3 and Dwight (pause :dame: ) both before basketball reasons happened. I always looked at that as the league colluding to get rid of Kobe and allow Bron the opportunity to ascend without being impeded.

Yeah he tried and failed but if it goes through
Thing is with Mike Brown are we still as successful?
Even how the roster was constructed if Mike Brown isn’t there and we got cp3 and Dwight with fukktoni that roster built as it is wouldn’t have worked due to his stupid ass offense.
But there im going into what if territory
Thing is right there instead of listening to Kobe and giving back the coach that actually got them a bunch of rings recently he goes with that other fukkface who ruined Bean and then got us into a fukking spiral of shyt

Kobe ran Phil away.
Kobe was a selfish team cancer, terrible teammate, sociopath, and piece of shyt human being.

fukk the mythologizing about him now that he is dead.

Let's keep it 100.

His ego destroyed the dynasty with shaq. His ego wrecked the Lakers and reduced them to bottom feeders existing only to serve his ego and then he tried to get traded until Dr. Buss pulled out a miracle and got Pau , bynum, Odom, to get one last run. Pau and Co carried them while his ego tried to shot them out of a title.

So nah young Buss might not have been a great owner but he is no different than Jeanie except he didn't suck dikk to get agents and coaches on the team.
