(Eric Pincus / Los Angeles Times)As the team lost its 10th straight game, falling to the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday night, one member of the Lakers was all smiles.
Yitzi Teichman, ceremonially signed to a one-day contract before the game, left the Lakers' locker room with a bag full of his teammates' sneakers, and an ear-to-ear grin.
"I've got all the players' gaming shoes. Kobe [Bryant] signed a ball. Kobe signed shoes," said Teichman.
