Spencer Dinwiddie's ultimate praise for the LA Lakers surprises

One of the LA Lakers' characteristics is how despite not having the best five years, the team has always been all about winning the NBA championship title despite not always accomplishing that goal. For LA's new point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, LA's doesn't have a comparison.

“It’s a team that, when everything’s on the line, they can rise to a level that no other team can get to,” Dinwiddie said. “Obviously, they won the In-Season Tournament, and have won big-time basketball the past couple of years. Sometimes it’s hard to maintain that throughout a whole season, but at the end of the day, they know how to win. That’s what you know.

Every night they’re gonna get somebody’s best shot just because of the name that is on the uniform, and obviously, you have arguably the greatest player of all time on the floor as well. So, a lot of guys are gonna give him personally their best shot as well.”

It’s a massive compliment from Dinwiddie, as he’s kept his eye on the Lakers from a distance over the last few NBA seasons. There’s no doubt that the Lakers showed that ability last season, as they earned the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference by making a major run following the trade deadline.

How the Lakers landed point guard Spencer Dinwiddie

Dinwiddie was dealt to the Toronto Raptors at the trade deadline, but he was bought out by the team, allowing him to become a free agent. The Nets acquired former Lakers guard Dennis Schroder and veteran forward Thaddeus Young in the Dinwiddie deal at the deadline.
