Bruh, he should have said SOMETHING publicly... Or AT LEAST not act like he was HAPPY to get Dantoni.... F*ck that....
Kobe tried to act like getting Dantoni was cool... That aint the Kobe I know...
And he shoulda supported dwight publically and said the lakers need to do anything it takes to keep him... These are 2 things he failed to do.... So dwight didn't feel he had his back, and dipped
If you could bet your life on it, you would say Kobe would prefer Dantoni over... *gulp*..... Phil....
Come on man... Kobe has just turned politically correct... That's all it is.
Kobe is one of the smartest players in the history of basketball... He knows good dam well Phil was the BEST choice...
Winning championships is a game of inches (as the spurs proved this year)... You need everything MAXED OUT to it's full potential to win....
Trust me, there is no way in a BILLION YEARS Kobe would be happy to get Mike Dantoni over Phil Jackson....
You might as well tell me He'd dump Vanessa for precious right now... That makes about as much sense as that.
How do you know if he did or didn't?
He did say he wanted Phil after Mike Brown was fired. shyt all the lakers players were talkin up PJ. Jim Buss saidHe never spoke up and Put pressure on Jim Buss to get Phil Jackson.... before, or after Dantoni...
Not saying he would've listened to Kobe, but you still need to make your voice heard... Just so the fans know: "It aint just dwight, Kobe aint f*ckin with this bullsh1t either*...
Kobe act like everything all hunky dorey, I thought he was realer than that...
Now he'll need to go to chicago next year, or hope somebody pulls off a MIRACLE to get another Superstar there....
Damn, now that I think about it, I was saying Melo is Kobe's best friend, so he might go to Lakers next year... But then I remembered: Melo don't f*ck with Dantoni either
#damnKobe
and hired D'Antoni to build the offense around Nash 
He did say he wanted Phil after Mike Brown was fired. shyt all the lakers players were talkin up PJ. Jim Buss said
Jim buss did the same shyt a year before when Kobe asked for Brian Shaw instead of Mike Brown. He even tried to called fukkboy Jim Buss, Jim Buss didn't return his call or consult him b4 hiring Brown.
Kobe too old for that shyt. If he speaks up too forcefully he'll look like the villain. So he sit back and watch the shyt crumble on Jim Buss
Only thing Kobe need to say after the season was:
"We need to do WHATEVER it takes to keep Dwight.... Whatever it takes"
Hint hint.....................
He didn't have to come out and outright BASH dantoni.... But you better show some comradori with your teammate, or hemightwill BOUNCE on your a.ss..
I see I'm the only one real enough to give Kobe some blame in this fiasco.. And thats cool
I'm one of Kobe's biggest fans.... But he should've had Dwights back more, PUBLICLY... So the fans know he has Dwights back (this is all dwight gives a f*ck about, is perception)
If he makes his voice known that he wanted Phil, then that puts additional pressure on Bus to make it happen.... And if Bus STILL doesn't make it happen, maybe dwight woulda stayed, even with Dantoni... For the simple fact that Kobe had his back...
It's over with now... But I'm sure Kobe has some regrets

If that aint , i dont know what is Exactly. Jim Buss made it clear that shyt would be run his way from Day 1 since he took over. The only reason he tried to make peace with Kobe is because Stephen A Smith(with a little info from KB off the record) reveal how Kobe called him and he didnt return his call all summer. Also about how Buss tried to move away from the Gasol-Kobe partnership which made him us go to 3 str8 finals so he can Feature ANDREW Bynum more....
