He barely played, but his passion could be seen in every play.

He was the last guy on the bench, but the strongest voice in the locker room.

On a veteran team of disparate personalities, he was the glue. Amid a laborious season filled with lulls, he was their muse.

He kept their two superstars aligned, he kept their role players from feeling neglected, and he eventually even helped them win a championship.

Nobody is going to sell me on the idea that all three of James, Westbrook & Davis wanted him back and the Lakers were unwilling to put him as the 15th man or assistant coach.

Absolutely do not believe that, lol.

Maybe he's good on the bench like Haslem supposedly is with the Heat. The only problem is that he might make more than the actual coach... when he doesn't deserve more than him.

I find it odd that a group of adults need a voice in the locker room.

High school and college? Sure, we're talking about kids or young adults at the very least.
