Lakers, historically, draft very well. In the last 10 years, the late round picks... 2nd round picks... guys like Ivica Zubac, Josh Hart (draft day trade), Kuzma (draft day trade), Clarkson, Nance Jr, all great value picks

That Time the FBI Accused Wilt Chamberlain of a Hijack Attempt 👀✈️
📅 December 12, 1972
Fresh off a nail-biting 106–105 win over the Bulls in Chicago — where Wilt pulled down a game-high 23 rebounds — the 24–4 Lakers were ready to head to Philly.
