I couldn't believe it, you hear Magics comments?
Critical mistake No. 2 is more than obvious for Lakers fans. Mike D'Antoni, a top candidate for the job after Brown was fired, was chosen as the next Lakers coach. The problem was 11-time NBA champion Phil Jackson was also a candidate who was interested.
"I don't feel Mike D'Antoni is the right coach for the Lakers," Johnson said. "Especially when you have Phil Jackson sitting out there, who wanted to be the Laker coach. Jim Buss decided he didn't want Phil Jackson, he wanted Mike D'Antoni. And that's OK, but why didn't you just say that? But the fans were cheering for Phil Jackson two nights in a row."
