Since taking over the Los Angeles Lakers as head coach, Byron Scott has taken criticism for everything from his rotations to criticizing players in the media. Many of these critiques have been valid, but one area where it has been increasingly clear it is unfair to criticize Scott is for his usage of Kobe Bryant.
The latest round of Twitter outrage came today when Scott announced that he may not sit Bryant despite Lakers trainer Gary Vitti telling Scott that he would recommend doing so after Bryant left the Lakers' win against the New Orleans Pelicans because of his strained Achilles.
