Kobe mentioned he was waiting for the calvary to come. (Probably referring to getting Swaggy back healthy). Yet, a review of MWP (or TPF) stats in China and his 'purpose' in being there is as PJ would say is at least 'intriguing.' They have him listed as a Center as of today on his Chinese team.
LOS ANGELES — After Mike Brown and Mike D'Antoni, the Los Angeles Lakers needed a leader of men.
With his poised posture, authoritative calm and championship heritage, Byron Scott undoubtedly has leadership skills.
All that won't matter one bit, however, if Scott doesn't lead one man in particular.
Scott must lead Kobe Bryant if he wants the others to follow. Not just get along. Not just offer license and liberty. Lead.
And Scott's ledger on that front so far is as bad as the Lakers' one-win record under him, the worst 10-game start in franchise history.
A great relationship, which is what the longtime Byron-Kobe bond is supposed to be, isn't about the parties being agreeable. The beauty in it should be the honesty in questions and answers, one teaching the other what he doesn't even know he doesn't know…and smiles growing over both faces in appreciation for an undeniably greater growth.
That's how opposites attract and tough love works.
Hey guys, I wrote this up about the Lakers and what they need to eventually dig themselves out of their current situation. Hopefully it's ok to post it here, let me know what you think.
Injured Los Angeles Lakers point guard Steve Nash is not returning phone calls from coach Byron Scott and the team could trade him, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.
Nash, 40, is out for the season with nerve problems in his back. The team wants to keep Nash around as a mentor. However, Scott has not been able to keep in touch with Nash.
