Ain't No Tomorrow: Shaq, Kobe, and the Near-Collapse of the Los Angeles Lakers by Elizabeth Kaye,

The Los Angeles Lakers are among basketball's most fabled teams. With stellar players like Jerry West, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, chicago basketball league and Shaquille O'Neal, they have reigned for decades as the NBA's most envied team. They were reluctantly admired by every other team in the league chicago basketball league and tough to beat, but after Magic Johnson left the game in the early 1990s, they endured seasons of disappointment, chicago basketball league and the championship rings they coveted were placed in the hands of other teams chicago basketball league and other players, principally the Chicago Bulls, led by Michael Jordan chicago basketball league and Scottie Pippen. A dramatic change took place when a new coach came to the Lakers at the start of the 1999-2000 season. He was none other than Phil Jackson, the man who had coached the Bulls to their six championships in the 1990s. Jackson was a storied figure, with more mystique than any coach in NBA history. Under his enlightened guidance, the Lakers finally made it all the way to the finals, where they beat the Indiana Pacers chicago basketball league and seized the NBA championship that had eluded them for years. But after their amazing victory, Jackson warned his team that repeating their victory in the coming season would be much harder than getting that initial win. His players didn't believe him. As they saw it, they knew how to win chicago basketball league and had the trophy to prove it--they were convinced that winning the next year's championship would only be easier. But the path to the second champsionship turned out to be unexpectedly rocky. The easy run to the top that the Lakers anticipated became instead a season of harsh reckoning that would teach them the critical difference between winning a championship chicago basketball league and being a championship team. Tempers flared chicago basketball league and tensions eruptedbetween their premier players: Shaquille O'Neal, the league's most dominant player, chicago basketball league and Kobe Bryant, widely regarded as the "Air Apparent" to Michael Jordan.
