Could we see a Phil Jackson/Kobe Bryant reunion in New York next season? Ok, I am getting WAY ahead of myself but if you give any prudence to Phil’s words today then that scenario could at least be a slight possibility. Phil was talking to the media today and mentioned that he believes this will in fact be Kobe’s final season with the Lakers but not necessarily the last season of his career.

Jackson believes Kobe will be better than people think and he expects there to be multiple offers from other teams if Kobe wanted to play again after this season, as per Chris Herring of The Wall Street Journal. Would anyone be surprised if one of those teams wound up being the Knicks?
It is possible Jackson’s comment regarding Kobe was just an innocent opinion, but some observers will undoubtedly jump to the conclusion the Zen Master is plotting to bring the Black Mamba to the Big Apple in 2016.
