While the Lakers’ mostly depressing season has reached the point where LeBron scoring 50 points is basically a prerequisite for wins (at least until Anthony Davis comes back), a handful of improvements have caught my eye in recent weeks. Though these gains are typically too small to move the needle for the Lakers’ immediate present, there is pleasure to be had in acknowledging the real individual growth present on the team, even in the face of its broadly unsatisfying struggles. Perhaps, a celebration of growth, however small, can help fight against the increasing ennui that exists around the team, and even reportedly within the Lakers’ locker room.
