On April 13, 2016, Kobe Bryant played in his final game in the NBA, and a big issue during that season was figuring out who the Los Angeles Lakers would hand over the keys to the franchise to.
Years earlier, the Lakers believed it was going to be Dwight Howard, but then he got called soft and left town. So yea, it wasn’t him. Then the Lakers believed it was possibly D’Angelo Russell. At first, it seemed like that was going to be the case. The promising rookie showed flashes of stardom, but Magic Johnson thought all of his past drama was too much for the team.
