How is that leadership resonating now, Byron Scott?

He's philosophized more about "earning respect" (playing hard, earning more minutes and clout, and so on) than an efficient game plan (Xs and Os). One of the worst coaches in the league

[qrich]

He knows this is the best way to secure a good shot at a top 3 pick.

Smart move.

[JohnFreeman]

That is disgusting and selfish

[Levity]

haha this is like the basketball version of letting your grandpa say shitty things to you, because hes old and from a different time where it was accepted

Have to disagree. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding them, one thing is true in every sport: Losing coaches get fired. He's lining up high draft picks that some other coach will develop. There are only two possibilities:

1. He genuinely thinks Bryant's chucking is their best hope for winning.

2. He doesn't have the job security to stand up to Bryant and is just doing/saying what he's told to.

I'd bet on #2 myself.

Yea just like what he did to Queens in 00, 01 and 02.

I was thinking the same thing. He was probably told to just let Kobe do his thing. LOL

Imagine the Knicks only winning one ring

[TheBigVeto]

Not only Byron Scott is a dumb coach, he's whipped as well.

[bobopenguin]

Imagine the Knicks only winning one ring

[CelticBaller]
