He filled over 30 notebooks with his running records. None of his family members worried or tried to stop him. They knew he enjoyed every moment.

The Lakers are known for their strong spirit and never giving up, even when games are tough. They have had many great players like Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James.
I think the Lakers are amazing because they always try their best and inspire many people with their hard work and teamwork.
