11-02-1999. ((FYI: KOBE DNP - hand/wrist injury for first 15 or so games at the start of the season.)) [[FYI pt 2: I'm putting this up for the sake of history because Phil's first game as HC of the Lakers w/ Chick calling is a legitimately rare title, but the master was turrible. Coaxial cable must've been hanging on by a thread in back of the telly. The picture had enough grain to feed a small country. I tried to minimize it as much as possible.]] Rare broadcast w/ the Chickster, in the legit meaning of the R word, which is overused on YT. However, it is what it is. Grumpy ol Phillip is the focal point. There's only so much he can do to make his first game memorable other than to get up and call quick timeouts, which he actually did a couple of times.
