There is no denying the fact that this season is going to be a rough one for Lakers fans. This is year two of being a bottom feeder, and to nobody’s surprise, it’s not a good feeling. It didn’t help that many Laker icons went overboard with their predictions for this season.
For example, Kobe Bryant stated back in August that the Lakers would “absolutely” make the playoffs this season. Kareem Abdul-Jabaar added on to Bryant’s bold prediction, telling Sirius XM NBA radio the Lakers “will surprise people in a positive way” and expected them to make the playoffs.
