Playing family therapist and coach, Jackson admits, was too much for him. So the Zen master will be taking off a year and then look for another spot in basketball--not necessarily coaching--to apply his philosophy. Kobe, free from criminal culpability and armed with a new contract, will be leading the Lakers without Shaq, who is now in Miami. It's Kobe's team now. Maybe he'll grow into...
