To say Lonnie Walker IV “stayed ready” is a total understatement. After putting up 12 points in Game 3, he followed it up with a quarter for the ages in Game 4: scored ALL 15 of his points in the 4th to boost LAL to a commanding, 3-1 lead against the Golden State Warriors.

Rui Hachimura’s made a big difference off LAL’s bench since arriving in January.

LEBRON IS A LAKER!

LeBron James is a transcendent athlete (legend) in the sport of basketball – the pure definition of DIFFERENT BREED: no one has ever possessed LeBron’s unique combination of size, speed, and skill into a single package.

Featuring ‘created player’ size, length and speed, Anthony Davis reps the new generation of bigs – DIFFERENT BREED-level talent.

No back down in LA’s Austin Reaves: quickly earned trust of his teammates and the coaching staff through clutch play and sharp attention to detail on both ends.

Gabe Vincent’s value is at an all-time high: headstrong PG, capable from anywhere beyond the arc.

A Native of Japan, Rui Hachimura’s game is offense-oriented.

Highly productive player – Christian Wood’s an athletic big w/ varied skill on offense.

“Smooth meets confidence” – the best way to summarize D’Angelo Russell’s game.

Laker fans are hoping Max Christie’s a long-term solution at the 2/3 spot: Christie’s game features so much promise.

Skylar Mays has the makings of a long-term NBA PG.

Jaxson Hayes is an incredible athlete at the 5 spot - catch & finisher/rim protector.

Cam Reddish is a pretty smooth + talented scorer - able to shoot on the move, behind screens & after a few dribbles.

Jarred Vanderbilt possesses lots of natural talent & athleticism, yet hustles & values dirty work.

Taurean Prince has developed into a varied threat at his position.
