The Los Angeles Lakers were forced to navigate through unprecedented circumstances in order to secure the franchise’s 17th championship and there were a number of factors that led to the team’s success inside the Orlando bubble.
Although their efforts were spearheaded by the dominant play of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the onus fell on the coaching staff to make the necessary adjustments both on and off the court for their players.
Head coach Frank Vogel has rightfully gotten his due for the job he did in his first season with the Lakers. Of course, a couple of his more notable assistants in Jason Kidd and Phil Handy have also been credited with helping put it all together.
