Kobe Bryant about Lakers: "I think they’re building the team smartly"

Kobe Bryant has given a vote of trust to president of basketball operations Magic Johnson and general manager Rob Pelinka as Los Angeles begins a new era with a team led by LeBron James. During an interview on Extra TV, Los Angeles Lakers legend gave praise to the offseason list overhaul and was positive about the direction of the Lakers as the 2018-19 season approaches. "I think they’re building the team smartly," Bryant said. "They’re building strong, physical players that play the game with pace and are basketball players. What I mean by that is they don’t have players that are one-dimensional. "They have players that can handle the ball, shoot the ball, pass the ball, defend the ball. So when you’re building a team with that kind of versatility and physicality, that’s something that can challenge Golden State. ‘Cause you can’t beat Golden State by playing Golden State-style. That’s just not going to happen.” LeBron James certainly will shake up competition in the Western Conference. The Warriors are coming off back-to-back NBA titles and have won the championship three of the last four years, but James has made eight straight NBA Finals appearances.
