It’s too bad for the guy. I definitely wish him the best in his recovery and in the rest of his life, whether he plays basketball or not. And I do have to give props to the organization, which seems intent on covering his medical bills.
But man, it is delicious to contemplate the look on Phil and Kobe’s faces. It’s not on the level of Len Bias or anything, but on a talent-poor team made that way by Kobe’s mustard-on-the-hot-dog attitude they needed all the help they can get. And Phil, despite his incredible coaching credentials and history, just got a stake driven through his smug little heart.
I say that the Lakers will be sucking hind tit again this year. Maybe with a few more blown drafts like this they’ll be relegated to the basement in perpetuity. God, do I hope so.
