Kobe Bryant made a guarantee to the media, his teammates, and the organization. That guarantee throughout the Lakers regular season struggles was ‘don’t worry, we’ll make the playoffs’.
Skeptics thought there was no way in hell the Lakers would make the playoffs in the tight Western Conference, but the team played great down the stretch and pulled out the 7th seed in the West.
As a somewhat expensive ‘thank you note’, Kobe Bryant bought each and every one of his teammates a Lenova laptop before their road trip to start the playoffs in San Antonio this weekend. Here are a couple pictures of players receiving their present, and some tweets from the appreciative crew:
Thanks for the laptop @kobebryant ! On our way to San Antonio. twitter.com/SteveBlake5/st…
