It’s officially the off-season for the Los Angeles Lakers and after finishing with the worst record in franchise history, it can only get better from here. The focus now shifts to the NBA Draft Lottery, where the Lakers are hoping they can keep their pick.
The Lakers haven’t had much good news lately, but today that changed. Legendary Laker and the all-time leading scorer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar underwent successful coronary bypass surgery.
Jabbar was dealing with a cardiovascular disease and needed surgery to correct the problem. The former Bruin great went to his old stomping grounds, UCLA, to fix the issue and receive the surgery.
