Published 4/20/2008 at L.A. Times - Basketball
All he needs to do is what he usually does -- win playoff games -- and he and the Lakers will have another title.

Back in November it seemed like a strange move, Phil Jackson who had yet to see Pau Gasol in a Lakers uniform and very possibly losing Kobe Bryant a year from now or sooner, signing a contract extension for two more years.

Outgunned: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets Playoff Preview
emptythebench.com 4/20/2008 — A testament to just how strong the West has been this year, only seven games separate the eighth and first seeds and both are 50-win teams. This matchup isn’t the typical cakewalk you expect in the first round for a one seed, as the Kobe's Lakers will have to contend against a roster featuring superstars Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony and Marcus Camby. That’s a lot of star power.
