If you’re a Lakers fan and were skeptical about Mike Brown before, then you’re probably fed up with him now after benching Kobe Bryant in the 4th quarter last night. As you can imagine, Kobe isn’t that thrilled.
When a reporter asked if it was correct to assume he was upset over the benching, Bryant said “of course I was. That’s an astute observation.” But Bryant refused to criticize Brown. “It’s his decision to make. He’s the coach. If you guys are looking for a story, I’m not going to contribute to it,” Bryant said. “I can’t sit here and criticize his decisions. Leading this ball club, that’s not something I can afford to do. I had his back the whole season. I can’t start doing something crazy now. It would make no sense.”
