Alright, let’s talk about the 2011 Lakers roster. You know, I was digging into this the other day, and it brought back a lot of memories. It’s like, we’re going back in time here, but it’s all good stuff.
So, I started by just poking around online. I wanted to get a complete list of who was on that team, you know? Not just the big names, but everyone. I stumbled upon this site, *, and it had everything I was looking for. It listed all the players from that season, including their jersey numbers, positions, and everything.
I also found some interesting tidbits about the roster changes during that year. For instance, I read that the Lakers signed Trey Johnson in April because of some injuries. And get this – Phil Jackson, the legendary coach, almost retired but then agreed to a one-year deal. I remember that being big news at the time.
- I checked out the new players and even saw some pictures.
- I learned that they signed Trey Johnson in April and Theo Ratliff in July.
- I also discovered that Metta World Peace had the most steals on the team that year, 70 to be exact.
Then, I dug a little deeper into the stats. I found out that Andrew Bynum had a whopping 709 rebounds that season. And of course, Kobe Bryant was leading in assists with 264. I mean, that’s Kobe for you, right? But on defense, it was Metta World Peace who stood out with 70 steals. Man, that guy was a hustler.
As I looked further, I found that this guy, Jerry West, made a move to the Clippers for new challenges. I mean that’s a big change for Jerry.
I also noticed something sad. After the retirement of this player, Mikan, in 1956, the number of people going to Lakers games dropped. It’s like the end of an era.
It was cool to see how the roster evolved throughout the season. They had Derek Fisher at point guard, Kobe at shooting guard, and Metta at small forward, among others. It’s like putting together a puzzle, seeing how all the pieces fit.
So yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to – revisiting the 2011 Lakers roster. It’s been a fun trip down memory lane. Sometimes, you just gotta look back to appreciate how far things have come, you know?
