They may be rivals now, but what the Lakers did for Frank Vogel surprises

In pursuit of their first win of the 2023-24 season for the LA Lakers, being their at-home season opener, the purple and gold are hosting the game against the Phoenix Suns.

With coach Darvin Ham being the weakest part of the team, especially after a strong offseason done by GM Rob Pelinka, the fans are excited for the return of Frank Vogel, even when he is coaching tonight's rival the Phoenix Suns.

Still, with Vogel being the last head coach who won an NBA title with the purple and gold, the organization has released a tribute video for their former head coach.

After the first quarter, the Suns have been dominating the Lakers and are leading the game 30-18, which isn't good, especially with coach Ham not knowing what to do with his team's lineups.

After the Lakers showed the tribute video to their former head coach, the superstar LeBron James approached him to share some love with Vogel. Ham could look really bad if Vogel outcoaches him without Devin Booker and Bradley Beal.
