Kobe Bryant knows what it was like to be a 19-year-old future star playing for the Lakers.
The Lakers’ front office wants Brandon Ingram to take advantage of that knowledge this summer. In Ingram’s exit interview Thursday, president of basketball operations Magic Johnson and general manager Rob Pelinka made that suggestion.
“Just saying what I should look for in this organization, how I should be in this organization,” Ingram said. “They definitely thought Kobe should be one of the people I should talk to just about how he felt at 19 years old, 20 years old being in this organization.
