And who knows......maybe the Laker management......ownership doesn't even care if they win.....so they could care less who is the coach......which, again, goes back to that i think that money is the top reason......from betting odds.................to just how much they have to make......selling tickets, jerseys, hats...........drinks, hot dogs, beer.........all at an highly upted price at the stadium, arena.....just like at the movies.................money is such an important concern......that it almost seems the ONLY concern........b/c there is always next year............why try harder than u have to.............?  In the game or practice.........when u are getting paid regardless........and furthermore, no one else cares......which is exactly why think relegation exists in soccer......

I remember a female interviewer from one of the TV networks who asked a coach....i think the coach of the Utah Jazz........about what the coach needed to do to stop Kobe Bryant......and the guy acted like he didn't care if Utah lost...........he said something .."Kobe, no one can stop Kobe.....just throw the entire team at him".........and the interviewer kinda did a double take............like she had a puzzled look on her face.......as if to say."this guy could care less if they win or not"........b/c i do NOT think that they care........just how much money is coming in and having sex.............they give them kickbacks........so certain teams can win.......so they can play with betting odds....to make yet even more money.....give them sex.................for losing the game...............as they are making bank......and having tons of sex............with very nice looking women.....as a payback for losing the game....it is a business.......get something for giving up something......which is probably why the coach of the Utah Jazz could have cared less if they won or not..........he got more sex and money on the side................and they are popular.......celebrity figures........who cares if you win.......there is always next year whether they finish last or take the trophy................









MOM..........incentive........motive............................what is the motivation to compete hard.......when u are going to get paid regardless?...........whether u win the championship or finish last.......there is always next year.................which is why i think u heard the comments from Don Sterling.........to many other owners.....front office........and the like........they do NOT really care if they win........they care about money, sex, popularity, etc.
