The Lakers Chose Mike D'Antoni Because...
Well, the possible reasons include:
- Kobe doesn't want Phil Jackson to coach again.
- Jackson made too many demands for the Lakers' Top Brass.
- Mike D'Antoni's style is more fast-paced, which Kobe seems to prefer.
- While Jackson did deal with the egos, the plays were more or less designed by Tex Winter, who is no longer around.
- D'Antoni has more to prove than Jackson.
- D'Antoni is cheaper than Jackson.
- The Lakers may have had to undergo a bigger roster change with Jackson, aka, Reason #6.
- Jackson only likes coming in when a team is on the brink of winning a championship, and the Lakers aren't close.
