The Los Angeles Lakers are above .500 with a 9-8 record and the team is climbing the Western Conference standings.
Not many people expected the Lakers to play this well heading into the season, but this roster has blown by expectations. Kobe Bryant is also on the verge of his return from the Achilles tear and once he hits the court, the Lakers will only get better.
