The Los Angeles Lakers have hired the man that will proceed Phil Jackson, who has won more Championships as a coach than anyone in history. The lucky individual who will attempt to fill the giant shoes left by Jackson's retirement, is Mike Brown, former Cleveland Cavaliers coach and a former "Coach of the Year" winner. In light of the hiring, many of the "experts" on ESPN have been making a big deal out of the fact that the Lakers didn't consult with Kobe Bryant before signing Brown to be the next head coach of LA's top team.
Last time I checked, Kobe was an employee of the Los Angeles Lakers and not the other way around. I didn't think he owned stock in the team. I don't believe he has an office or a desk. I was almost certain his responsibilities within the organization pertained to hitting jump shots and playing defense, and not making the hiring decisions.
The Lakers didn't consult with Kobe Bryant before picking their new head coach, because it's not his call. The cashier at your local Target doesn't get to put his two cents in when the store needs a new manager and Kobe shouldn't expect the luxury of getting to pick his new boss either.
