Kobe Keeps Quiet After Brown Hiring

For one of the most talked about basketball players of his era, Bryant has not spoke about his opinion on the hiring of Mike Brown. Kobe went public that he wanted Lakers Assistant Coach Brian Shaw to be the descendant of Phil Jackson. From the looks of it, Kobe is frustrated by the organization and is just brushing it off for a later time. I don't think the Lakers should cater to everything Bryant says, but in a sport that has teams focused on such few players on a team and Bryant being the face of franchise, you would think the Lakers would at least keep Bryant somewhat involved in the process. It was evident that he was kept out in the dark during the whole process which just boggles my mind. I don't think every star player on a team should be in a coaching changes, but there are exceptions. I believe Bryant is one of them and probably the only one in the league right now. Other players of that stature would be Jordan, Bird, Magic, and others.
