With the beginning of the NBA Season in the near future, I wanted to make sure it was well known where my allegiances are and always have been!
I first started watching the Lakers in the 95-96 season, at the age of 5 or so and the following year was when we got Kobe and Shaq, and well the rest if history! I've been there for the bad times and the championships as well!
Fast forward to this season and Laker Fans are for certain ready to get back to our winning ways after enduring the last few seasons. There is a certainly a buzz and hype around this team that hasn't been seen in some time, and mainly due to Number 2 Overall Pick, Lonzo Ball. This is a young team in transition, and with a new front office in Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka hopefully we can begin to turn things around sooner than later!
I'm definitely excited at the potential of some of our younger core, while also maintaining realism and seeing that certain players may not pan out to be, who we thought they may be. Hopefully Coach Luke Walton can show some of the knowledge that he soaked up from sitting next to Phil Jackson over the years on the bench, and translate that into bringing a winning culture and attitude to a team in much need.
Heres to another exciting season and hopefully a return to triumph in the next few seasons!
