It's the NBA, the pinnacle of the sport. It's the Lakers, one of the most prestigious franchises in all of sports. It's Los Angeles, one of the most famous cities in the world. It's Hollywood.

And he'll be paid out the wazoo.

The Merritt Parkway and Mystic Pizza and the express train from Greenwich to Grand Central and tax policy ain't stopping someone from taking the Lakers job if they want to chase the pinnacle of their profession.

And say what you want about LeBron, he's still one of the three best players in the history of mankind to ever pick up a basketball. Yes, he may be old. Yes, he may be a coach killer at times. But if you have the ego for the Lakers HC job, you have the ego to coach LeBron.

You get on the private jet and sign the contract and if you miss NJ, just fly in your favorite guy that makes the breakfast sandwich with the Taylor ham you really like and make the Lakers have your company car be a 1985 Chevy Camaro Iroc Z.

But you take this job 100 times out of a 100 if you want a shot at climbing the mountain.
