Kobe Bryant took in the U.S. Women’s National Team match versus Mexico. And no this is absolutely not “news” or anything even remotely close to the concept of it. However, these are really lean times for the L.A. Lakers and there’s not a ton of Lakers news to discuss.

3. L.A. Lakers- #1 overall pick chances: 11.9%
This is yet another proverbial slam dunk. As the NBA’s biggest brand and most well known franchise, the league needs the Lake Show to be as relevant as possible at all times.
Factor in the 2nd largest market, and hell, even I want to fix the NBA Draft Lottery for the Lakers. Think of how many “Kobe passes the torch to Okafor/KAT” stories you can write.
