The defending champion Los Angeles Lakers begin their season on Tuesday against the Clippers. They’ll get their rings and raise another banner before tip off and then start their long quest towards trying to do it all over again. And, as it stands today, they’re the overwhelming favorites to do just that. What a time it is to be a fan of this team.
I, for one, am as optimistic as I’ve been in a decade about a Lakers team. They have two of the top 5 players in the world, have updgraded their depth and supporting players, and come back to this new season with both an appetite to win and that confidence that only comes from winning it all.
