Come on now you know better than that. You lucked into drafting some hall of famers. But the Lakers will always be the Lakers. Maybe Kobe's Lakers are done, but the Lakers are NEVER done. We'll be back in this spot in 2 to 3 years.
And this is why you I end up winning every b-ball convo with you on the end. Your homerism/haterism (yeah I made that up) takes over. The Lakers are the greatest franchise in NBA history for a reason (I'm not interested in hearing you Boston). They have been relevant every decade in the history of basketball and you think the next one will be different? For the franchise that has missed the playoffs 3 times in HISTORY?
