Former Los Angeles Laker/2011 NBA Sixth Man of the Year Lamar Odom recently admitted that he wouldn’t have been able to accept coming off the bench if it wasn’t an all-time great coach like Phil Jackson making the change.
(via Knuckleheads with Quentin Richardson & Darius Miles):
Quentin Richardson: “Would you have been able to take that if it wasn’t someone as established as Phil?”
Odom: “Nah; because it’s Phil Jackson.”
Quentin Richardson: “That’s what I’m saying.”
Odom: “So, you’re right.”
