No Luka, LeBron or Reaves? No problem against Portland for LA, which has built tremendous vibes in its locker room so far.

As for the moment in which O’Neal knew it was really over, that came during the 2009 NBA All-Star Game when he and Bryant were named co-MVPs and the Lakers icon chose to give his trophy to Shaq’s son Shareef, via The Big Podcast with Shaq:

Luka Doncic made franchise history, leading the Lakers to a 128-110 win over the Timberwolves with an astonishing 49-point performance.

The team is known for producing guys who make history. Most recently, Luka Dončić joined that list as a Laker who has set an incredible record. Through the first four games of the season, Dončić has scored 165 total points, the most ever by a Laker in the first four games of a season.

Austin Reaves put up a significant 51 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists, which lands him in the elite group of legends in the league.

Austin Reaves scored a career-high 51 points to take the Lakers past the Kings, placing him in an exclusive club with former MVPs.

James averaged 24.4 points, 8.2 assists and 7.8 rebounds last season. The Lakers were bounced in the first round of the playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves. The league's all-time leading scorer earned All-NBA Second Team honors for the 2024-25 season.
