    AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — NBA teams usually aren’t in great moods when their planes land in the wee hours of the morning in a different city for the second night of a back-to-back set.

    The Lakers couldn’t feel too bad about it early Wednesday morning when they had a tumultuous landing at the Pontiac, Mich., airport amid rain and wind.
    “We took a couple of bounces coming in,” Phil Jackson said — before calling it “the worst airport in the country” because of its one-way runway.

    The Lakers’ team plane landed hard and bounced back in the air and seemed to be about to veer sideways and spin before pilots controlled the plane.

    Oh what could have been... :grin:

    That happens in about 50% of the plane I fly on. I can't believe this is a "story"

    Just heard on ESPN that it was Sasha bouncing up and down on Kobe's lap that was making the plane bounce.

    You guys are terrible people. You don't joke about someone almost being involved in a plane crash.
