Frank Vogel Has Earned The Respect Of LeBron James

The Lakers are currently sitting on top of the Western Conference standings with a record of 41-12 while being a legitimate championship contender with Antony Davis and James being one of the best duos in the league — if not the absolute best.

Things may be going well for Vogel in his first season as the Lakers’ head coach, but the team hasn’t faced much adversity yet outside of dealing with the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant, which seemed to bring the team much closer together.

It remains to be seen what will happen with Vogel in the event that the Lakers fail to win the championship this year or have some sort of a total collapse in the playoffs. It should be noted that Vogel has been successful so far, so let’s not throw him under the bus quite yet.
