The Lakers may of found their new coach, but if he wants the job he is already making it tough on himself. Byron Scott was interviewed by the Lakers this week for the vacant coaching job but made it clear that if he is hired, Kobe will have to change his game and do things his way! Not sure how good that is going to go over with the black mamba. Hit the jump.

Scott, referring to Kobe was quoted as saying “He’s gonna have to change his game a little bit and he knows that. He knows me and I’m an old-school type of guy”.

He’ll be 36 when the 2014-15 season begins, and there aren’t too many players who make significant alterations to their game at that advanced stage. Fighting back from injury and waging war against Father Time might make it difficult for Bryant to do some of the things he used to, so it’s possible he’ll naturally make tweaks to compensate for waning physical skills.

Not too mention Kobe changes for nobody, except maybe Phil Jackson. Magic Johnson seemed excited at the thought of Scott coaching, which you can see in the gallery.
