National Basketball Association With the recent acquiring of legendary coach Phil Jackson, the Los Angeles Lakers will be a team to watch out for this season. Not only are the Lakers the most talented team in the league, they now have the right coach to bring it all together with introduction of the triangle offense. The Lakers will without a doubt be a true contender to go all the way to the finals this year. Kobe Bryant is by far the most raw talented player in the N.B.A. As far as Shaq goes , I feel that after his embarrassing season last year that he will put up M.V.P numbers. Should he fail again this year, I feel that the Lakers would probably strongly review their center position. Is this the beginning of another Laker dynasty ? I hope so. to Midwest Shay Hansen, who has 9 goals on the year. Freshman Lindsay Mulliner has been a major contributor the Rebels success. Angela Profancik has also played well for the Rebels. Despite being a defender, Profancik has been able to score some goals for the Rebels.
