In Frank Vogel’s first year as the Los Angeles Lakers head coach, he’s done almost nothing wrong to begin the 2019-20 NBA season.
He’s made correct rotations, his defensive scheme is the NBA’s best, and the Lakers look like an unstoppable force. In the team’s blowout win against the Atlanta Hawks, Vogel got his first glimpse into what being a Laker is all about when Kobe Bryant was in attendance.
Bryant rarely attends Lakers games, going to about one a season since his retirement. However, last night was the first time where Bryant being there really felt like it added to the spectacle of the game.
