Yeah, that jutting out of his lower jaw. He's also a LOT more verbal with his team mates. Seems to do more coaching on the floor than the coach. I think it's just all part of him being the leader and motivator of the team and the scowl just being part of that arsenal.stonemonkey55 said:
Yup. Totally agree. He just needed a bit of time to grow up from just being a cocky kid.stonemonkey55 said:
A lot of coaching goes on behind the scenes. I don't think he's ever really been an animated, vocal coach. It just doesn't fit his Zen like approach to the game and I think he realizes that Kobe has really taken on the role as leader and that the team looks to him for guidance, and like any good coach who won't let his ego get in the way, Jackson is just letting Kobe do his thing, as long as it's workin'. And Jackson's lack of ego in allowing that to happen could be a reason to respect him even more.owin said:
i see kobe being more of a commentator fresh out of retirement and maybe somewhere down the line doing some some coachinglwien said:Yup. Totally agree. He just needed a bit of time to grow up from just being a cocky kid.
I remember the days when he'd just hog the ball while his team mates were standing around going........WTF ??
Now, he involves them and challenges them to do better. He's totally active in the game, even when he's on the bench.
So whaday think after his playing days are over? Do ya think he'll go for commentator or coach, or neither, and just kick back on the golf course like Jordan? My opinion? From everything I've heard from him, I think he loves the game too much to ever leave it and it looks like coaching could come just as naturally to him as playing, and then we'll see that scowl from the sidelines when he's in a suit, and just smile.
