The Los Angeles Lakers like to distinguish themselves from the rest of the NBA, by never thinking about taking a “year-off” in order to better prepare for the future.

Out of shape and without a match for a very long time, Nicklas Bendtner shouldn’t have looked so comfortable on the pitch, looking dominant in the air like nothing has changed.
