I’m not knocking on them, but Nash and Dwight were not themselves anymore.
The season-long push to BARELY squeeze into the playoffs.
Seeing Pau Gasol misutilized by Dantoni.
And of course, Kobe’s torn Achilles. I think Kobe still had at least 2 more elite seasons left. RIP to the GOAT.

This was what made me a Laker fan. Was a massive Nash fan. What made me a diehard Laker was seeing Kobe tear up his achilles, refuse to be subbed out, nail those free throws, and WILL the Lakers to the playoffs.

Serious question. If Phil was the coach, how does the season play out?
