Bouncing back early in Game 2, the Lakers took a 58-43 lead into halftime. They were once again led by Doncic who finished the first half with 22 points, five rebounds and five assists. This line made Lakers history.

Kobe Bryant became a true legend of the Los Angeles Lakers. His legacy continues to inspire players across generations. While few can match his impact, a former Lakers player believes that Luka Doncic share some interesting aspects with the NBA.

The Mavericks swear they traded Doncic away because they didn't like his work ethic or his commitment to the game, or in other words, he didn't have the "Mamba Mentality" that Kobe Bryant possessed. And Nico Harrison spent years inside Kobe Bryant's inside circle as an executive at Nike.
