Can you believe 2012 is already ending? Thinking back on the Lakers 2012 year, there are a lot of memorable moments that spring up. Who could forget Bynum and Odom taking a split from LA… or the exciting summer where everyone seemed to be talking about the Lakers?! Even this 15-15 Lakers start is something to remember, as they enter 2013 with a new perspective and hopefully the drive to win. All in all,there are too many moments to reflect back on, which is why Lakers Nation has created a number of our favorite Top 10 moments. Check them out:

That would be Steve Nash signing with the Lakers. Make sure to check out the rest of the list to see where Metta’s elbow to Harden’s face, and the hiring of D’Antoni over Jackson, stacks up.
