Kobe Bryant Confident Lakers Will ‘Surprise A Lot Of People’ And Definitely Make NBA Playoffs

The Los Angeles Lakers got off to rough start in the 2018-19 season but have since rebounded with an improved stretch. All eyes are on the franchise after LeBron James joined, giving them their first superstar since Kobe Bryant retired.

Unfortunately, the team started 0-3 and after back-to-back wins, then dropped two in a row before getting back in the win column against the Dallas Mavericks. L.A. has since won five of their last six games.

Obviously, it is still very early in the season with plenty of time for the Lakers to continue improving. And there is still belief in the roster, both from inside and outside the organization.
