[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 204577, member: 2525"] Yeah you can see the quotes at ESPN.com "If someone out there sees Mr. Jackson, ask him if he's OK. Then check his I.D. to make sure it's really the Lakers coach. Then ask him why, on a play that very well could determine the Lakers' chance of three-peating, he did not put his best defender, Kobe Bryant, on the Kings' most clutch player, Mike Bibby. Jackson, or a very close resemblance, said he stuck with Derek Fisher on Bibby because Kobe didn't want the job. "He said, 'I don't feel quite comfortable picking him up at this time and not being used to his moves,' " Jackson said. "I think it was the decision he wanted to make and I concurred." It doesn't sound like Kobe, does it? Kobe didn't think so, either. "You know I wouldn't use those exact words," Kobe said. "That's ridiculous.""
