Scoop: Kobe Bryant's dad used to play BBall IN in Italy with D'antoni

[will2survive]

D'antoni was a hero to Kobe when he lived in Italy. He took his number because his number was D'antoni's old one as a basketball player. Kobe's dad was Joe "Jellybean" Bryant. Kobe Bryant is going to love this move and is partially responsible for it.

Knee jerk reaction was being pissed about not getting Phil. After sleeping on it, Mike D was the better fit. Honestly, as a fan, I don't really give a shit about the Lakers winning it all. Might sound crazy, but think about it. You'll never be truly happy as a fan of any team if your expectation is for your team to win it every year. What I care more about is an exciting, fun, watch. With Mike D, the Lakers will be fun to watch again and make a deep playoff run. I seriously can't think of a better offensive mind in the game right now. What's not to like about a shit ton of points being scored? I like the decision to go with Mike D.

Kobe and co are too old to be running n gunning. Injuries will pile up
