Lakers: Byron Scott Felt ‘A Little Blindsided’ By His Firing

When NBC’s, Dan Patrick, had Byron Scott on his show Monday morning, he jumped right into getting a “flashy” headline for his video, practically serving as the puppeteer to Byron Scott, the puppet.

Instead of letting Byron tell his story of what went down when the Lakers decided to let him go, Patrick directly led the witness to get the answer he wanted to hear asking, “How blindsided did you feel getting fired.. or, however it played out?”

Scott, probably caught off guard, played directly into Patrick’s hand answering,

I was a little blinded sided by it.
