Wrote Jackson:
“… After the presentation, Dwight asked Kobe what he was planning to do after he recovered from his Achilles injury. Was this going to be his last year? ‘No,’ replied Kobe. ‘I’m planning to be around for three or four more years.’
At that point, according to others in the room, Dwight’s eyes went blank and he drifted away. In his mind, the game was over.
A few days later he announced that he was signing with the Rockets.”
How did he know that information? :biggums:
He clearly threw Jeanie under the bus there.
Why is he talking about something he wasn't a part of in his autobiography? :biggums:
Most fans know what happened next. Mitch called me around midnight on Sunday and told me they had decided to hire another coach, Mike D’Antoni. I was a little stunned at first, but, on reflection, I realized why things fell apart so quickly. I was thinking of the job as a one-season gig, but Jimmy and Mitch were looking for a coach who could help them rebuild the team over the long haul. They were also eager to turn the Lakers back into the sort of fast-paced, high-scoring team they were in the Magic Johnson “Showtime” era — and D’Antoni was certainly a coach who could make that happen.”
If that's the case why did he play dumb the last couple years as to why it didn't happen? :biggums:
This piece of $hit will do anything to sell books. You have to have a huge ego and be the biggest douche to write an autobiography to sell
