Mitch did a great job of drafting Hart, BI, Lonzo (I know) and Randle

Part of me is happy that BI is doing great for the Pels. I didnt want to rape them too badly. Lonzo sucks and Hart is a role player.

I’ll have to eat crow on BI(somewhat). I was a hater, but he’s shown some good to signs.
Me too. I thought he was going to be a guy where the athletic ability never really translated to on court performance. His shooting has just gotten so much better.

Along with his offense, his defense and activity is much improved.

Obviously I’ve seen Lebron play many times over the course of his career, but since he’s become a Laker I’ve watched him more than I ever have before, and it’s hard to undersell just how amazing he is. Dude is 36 years old, has played so many career minutes, and yet he’s still arguably the best player in the league.

There's a story I can't find now about how while the rest of the league is struggling with Covid postponements, injuries, disgruntled players & management, the Lakers seem to be the only ones smiling and having fun. And they're doing this as the 2nd oldest team in the league on what, 2 months rest?

They are dominating and look like they are barely trying.

Agree. I remember a Cavs fan insisting to me he was the GOAT, and now that I watch him almost every game, it is hard to argue otherwise. Hes like Magic Johnson on steroids.

I read it too(or something similar). I think I credit it to a mixture of Jeanie/Vogel/LeBron. It was a culture change and you have to have the people at the top buying in before you can get everyone else to follow. It’s nice to see.
And adding all the depth to spread out the minutes was huge so give Rob some love.
