LOS ANGELES (AP) -The two-time NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers’ most important free agent this summer is a 64-year-old former forward with two bad knees, two artificial hips and more championships than any coach in NBA history.
When Phil Jackson reveals his plans for the future next week, the Lakers can get to work on reconfiguring their roster for a run at a threepeat.
Amid the confetti and cacophony of their 83-79 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the NBA finals on Thursday night, the Lakers already were thinking to the future, even while celebrating the toughest title run of Kobe Bryant’s career, according to the superstar himself.
Bryant wants Jackson back on the Lakers’ bench – and everybody in L.A. usually listens to Bryant.
