“I would LOVE to be out there,” Stackhouse said… Judging from the tone of his voice, if we were to pick a favorite to land Stackhouse’s services, it’d be the Lakers — in no small part due to his long history with Kobe Bryant. “We’ve always competed, and we go way back. When he was a rookie, before he even started his rookie season, John Lucas had he and I out on the track running. He knows how I compete and work, so we’ve always had that mutual respect. Kobe’s got a gamesmanship about him, he knows how guys look at him in awe. I’ve seen several times when he came over to the bench where I was and would not say anything to anybody on the whole bench, but then he’d look at me and say, ‘What up Stack?’ So there’s a respect there both ways, I believe.”
