I’m not in LA but I seriously doubt Jackson was fired or left due to Kobe’s doing.

I think Phil saw the writing on the wall.

That writing told him the winning days in LA were o-v-e-r. And he was outta there regardless.

Everyone knew Shaq and Kobe and co were not all coming back and Phil wasn’t sticking around, I don’t care what anybody reports.

As far as Coach K. He’s got the best job in the country, only an egomaniac like Larry Brown and others would leave that for the NBA. Coach K’s not an egomaniac, ain’t that stupid, and even if Shaq stayed there, he wasn’t going anywhere and certainly not to a sour grape past its time team.

I don’t know if I was responding to your post and/or previous ones with the general comparison or speaking in the same vein of Kobe and MJ.

The comparison in bogus thus far, but we’ll see.
