Maui since some of the Lakers are getting older
Some years, the Showtime Lakers had their training camp in Hawaii. Why? Why wouldn't they consider Hawaii a basketball powerhouse?
They chose to arrange a reunion in Maui since some of the Lakers are getting older – Kareem Abdul-Jabbar turns 75 this season. Even ardent Lakers supporters have problems recalling stars like Kareem, Magic Johnson, James Worthy, and Pat Riley. One more game, one final opportunity to hang out and recall the good old days.
It seems like a lot of fun
As Zach Lowe quipped on his podcast, Riley presumably led a three-hour session and had them run lines.
Well done to the Lakers players for organizing this. It's wonderful to see people put aside the internal conflict that these Lakers experienced at the time to recall the happy times (okay, maybe not as much as the Brooklyn Nets this year, but close). The five titles, too.
Hawaii is the ideal location for a reunion if one is to be held.
