This Day In Lakers History: Phil Jackson Passes Pat Riley For Most Coaching Wins In Franchise History

While the Los Angeles Lakers are often recognized and praised for the legendary players who have suited up for the franchise, they also boast a rich history in terms of head coaches. Chief among them are Pat Riley and Phil Jackson, who paths intersected on Feb. 3, 2010.

The Lakers hosted the then-Charlotte Bobcats in a game that saw Kobe Bryant play through a foot issue. He began the night less than 100 percent and had his injury aggravated when Lamar Odom stepped on Bryant’s foot in the second quarter.

Bryant didn’t score in the fourth and finished with just five points on 2-for-12 shooting.
