Are you a fan of the NBA?  If so, who is your favorite team?
The Lakers are a good professional basketball team that comes from California. They've won about 16 championships!
True, I think they have actually won 17 championships, including the most recent one last year!
The Lakers also got the 28th best defense in the NBA over their last six games.
Yes, they have been struggling on defense since Lebron and AD got injuried.  We recently acquired Andre Drummond, so he should help us a great deal.
Andre Drummod sounds promising, he was rated as the number one player from the class of 2011 by ESPN. He's also ranked #2 by Rivals.com and Scout.com
Yeah, he has consistently been one of the best rebounders in the NBA the past several seasons as well.  It looks like you know your basketball stats.
Thank you! It also looks like Drummod was a member of a US national team that won a gold metal at the 2014 FIBA World Cup.
Yes, I believe he was.  So what are your thoughts about this NBA season?  Do you think the Lakers will win the championship again?
It could be possible, since one of their players,Kuzma won Rising Stars MVP.
Haha, yeah, Kuz has had a good year so far.  He will help us alot in the playoffs.  I like your optimism!
