The Los Angeles Lakers have shifted into their new era of basketball, officially separated from all the players that were central figures during their championship runs in the early portion of the decade. The last player to remain from the championship team was Metta World Peace, not including current head coach Luke Walton.
World Peace was always a larger-than-life personality on and off the court, turning into a mentor for this young team at the end of his career. He spent his last season with the organization during the 2016-17 campaign, imparting wisdom and occasionally showing off what he has left in the tank.
