djnemo, all the reasons you point out about Riley, can be said about Phil Jackson. took over a loaded bulls team, and even after Shaq left the lakers the cupboard wasn't bare. Kobe, in many circles, is considered the best player in the league. so there was a small drop off, but not much. i can almost guarantee Jackson's retirement, if the lakers didnt make the playoffs this year. to me, those 2 guys are very similar.
