Lakers head coach Jackson coming back for another year

Basketball Betting Lines

07/02/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Los Angeles Lakers head coach Phil Jackson announced on Thursday that he will return for another season.

Jackson said last week that he was leaning toward retirement after guiding the Lakers to their second championship in a row, but will now come back and look to lead the team in an attempt to record his 12th NBA coaching championship.

"Count me in," said Jackson. "After a couple weeks of deliberation, it is time to get back to the challenge of putting together a team that can defend its title in the 2010-11 season. It'll be the last stand for me, and I hope a grand one."

Jackson, who will turn 65 in September, has a career record of 1,098 wins and 460 losses over 19 seasons, having won six titles with Chicago and five more with the Lakers.

His teams have finished no worse than third in a division at any time. In fact, Jackson has never had a losing record in any season and his 11 titles are the most in league history, two more than Boston's Red Auerbach.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
