| Trans. Jul 19 9:17 ET Three years ago a national basketball writer came to the Lakers’ practice facility in El Segundo to get a glimpse of a team that had won 27 games the year before and was universally expected to finish at the bottom of the Western Conference. After a few minutes of watching the team in a preseason scrimmage, he turned to me and offered a brief assessment. The team was flawed, but the players seemed to play hard and looked better than he expected. With some surprise, he added, “They won’t be garbage.” Steve Nash, 40 by then, was moving painlessly around screens and attacking the rim, delivering passes that made Robert Sacre and Ryan Kelly look like superstars. Kobe Bryant swished shot after shot. The Scoop: None. Jul 19 9:17 ET |
