More On Phil and Kobe

It’s not often anyone can return to the scene of an accident, unhook the mangled vehicles, review the mistakes made and resume the course they were on prior to the collision. Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant have that chance.

“It’s unfinished business,” says Lakers executive VP Jeanie Buss. “Kobe has a throne to take. Phil has something to prove. There’s more to their story.”
