Enjoy the Los Angeles Lakers. They’re really fun to watch, if nothing else. Compared to the Lakers that we saw in Kobe Bryant’s final few years, it’s a blessing to see the Lakers and fun basketball in the same sentence.
Yet, here we are. D’Angelo Russell is one of the NBA’s rising young stars, and Julius Randle looks like he could be a young Draymond Green. Larry Nance Jr can flat out jump out of the gym, and Brandon Ingram will show a glimpse of greatness every so often as well.
What Luke Walton is doing with this team is incredible. It’s night and day, the difference between Walton and Byron Scott.
