Two months ago I would have totally discounted the role of the head coach in the outcome of NBA contests. The games were a stream of virtuoso offensive stars with a final two minute procession of free throws and time outs.
College baasketball is where the coaches reign supreme. Or so I thought. If Ilearned anything from these playoffs it was that the coach in the Association was the new sixth man. How else did Orlando engineer their visit to the league finals if not for their coach STAN VAN GUNDY who was obviously separated at birth from pr0n icon RON JEREMY?
As much as we will discuss the re-ascendancy of KOBE BRYANT sans SHAQUILLE O’NEAL we should respect the genius of PHIL JACKSON to secure his tenth title with what is arguably the worst squad he ever coached. The aggregate talent of this Lakers team is lower than any BULLS ‘chip squad and is less than any of the previous three Lakers teams that went all the way.
Its not like KOBE BRYANT, the Finals MVP, was even the best player throughout these playoffs, because he wasn’t. KOBE was undoubtedly a serviceable superstar, but have any of you fans studies his line from this Game 5? Under 50% shooting for 30 points, 6 boards and 5 assists. Those are JORDAN-esque numbers if we are talking about EDDIE JORDAN or maybe even JORDAN FARMAR but definitely not MICHAEL JEFFREY JORDAN. Let’s face it, KOBE’s got the grimace down pat, just not the game.
Will PHIL JACKSON return to the Lakers to set up a title defense? PrA’li. Who do you think will be able to outcoach JACKSON and simultaneously outplay the Lakers? Plus, there are some players on the Lakers team who I think will grow their skillsets over the summer. TREVOR ARIZA is one of them. Is it because he is my Twitter friend that I think @TAriza is going to be the shiz? Chea. In the meantime and in between time I will cash in on this KOBE hype though. I’m gonna put my KOBE 8’s laserprint Huarache 2K4’s up on eBay.
Holla if you fux with a size 12.
