But Scott Skiles was supposed to been out, they just couldn't justify it with the team making the playoffs and actually improving over the last couple of years. I remember Jason Kidd's and Jimmy Jackson's supposed love triangle with Toni Braxton. That took it back. All the while, Jason was seeing his now ex-wife and Jimmy Jackson turned into a journey man. And what about Jamal Mashburn? I still remember that Nike commerical all three of them had together. Between this and Shaq leaving Penny in Orlando, I often wonder what could have been. Maybe the league wouldn't be so bad and players wouldn't be so quick to jump ship. Maybe teams would have more respect for their players. I doubt it though. The NBA is all about money these days, not what's out on the floor. The players are only reflection of this. That’s a really big stretch.
