Sloan makes analogy for Kobe; Miss America

This is… odd. Sloan made a questionable anology about Kobe.

ESPN: “He draws so much attention,” Sloan said Sunday. “You give too much help, somebody else is open. If you don’t give enough help, he’s got what he wants; kind of like Miss America. She gets what she wants.”

Kobe and Phil heard it, too.

ESPN: The Miss America comparison raised Bryant’s eyebrows Sunday and caught the attention of Lakers coach Phil Jackson after shoot-around Monday. “I think Jerry calling Kobe Miss America and comparing him to that is a message,” Jackson said. “That is something we will look at.”
