The Lakers have always been the kings of LA basketball.
Thanks to several hall of famers including Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Kareem Abdul-Jabar, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Shaq, Kobe Bryant, & many more the Lakers have won 16 NBA Championships. The second most in the NBA.
Yet the Clippers, a franchise that has never won an NBA Finals, was the more attractive destination for Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
While many wonder why Kawhi didn’t want to take his talents to the premier LA organization, Kobe Bryant is not surprised one bit.
