With todays Wolves-Lakers game all about Kobe Bryant, who better to talk to than Lakers coach Byron Scott?
Scott was part of the Showtime Lakers, playing with Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and James Worthy. His last year in the league, with the Lakers, was Bryant’s first. And now Scott is Bryant’s coach.
“Every city it’s going to be like this,” Scott said at the Lakers shootaround today, talking about what has become essentially a Bryant goodbye tour since the star guard announced his retirement Nov. 29.
“He seems at peace, because he knows he’s done everything he could possibly do as a basketball player,” Scott said.
