The Los Angeles Lakers powerhouse basketball team acquired a few new players for the 2012-2013 season.  These players icluded Dwight Howard, an all-star center and Steve Nash, highly considered as the most fundamental point guard in the game today.  Alongside Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, fans had very high expectations as far the team's success was considered.  Unfortunately team chemistry and inability to contend came into play at the start of the regular season. 

The Lakers were unable to win their first three games.  The team's association saw a disaster taking place, and they saw it only getting worse.  Former Lakers head coach and widely proclaimed best coach ever, Phil Jackson, was set to have a meeting to discuss his future position as head coach be reinstated on Saturday of this week.  Out of the blue, former Suns head coach Mike D'Antoni was enstated as the Lakers new head coach. 


Phil jackson's aquired accolades alone should have guaranteed his position as head coach.  With 13 championsip rings, no other coach is more fit for the job.
