Kobe on coaching.
Although retirement is still a long way away for the 31-year-old guard, Kobe Bryant has clearly given thought to what he does not want to do when his playing days are over — coach.
“No. Absolutely not. No, no, no,” he said.
“Being a coach is too frustrating for me. I like coaching kids and holding training clinics for the kids. But to be a coach from the regular season to the playoffs … I have no interest at all.”
Except for Larry Bird and Bill Russell, superstar players don't make successful coaches. Funny, it's the journeymen and bit players who are the most successful coaches like Pat Riley and Phil Jackson.
