During a recent interview with Extra TV, Lakers legend Kobe Bryant has given his stamp of approval to the Lakers' direction for the upcoming 2018-19 NBA season.

"I think they’re building the team smartly," Bryant said. "They’re building strong, physical players that play the game with pace and are basketball players. What I mean by that is they don’t have players that are one-dimensional.

"They have players that can handle the ball, shoot the ball, pass the ball, defend the ball. So when you’re building a team with that kind of versatility and physicality, that’s something that can challenge Golden State. ‘Cause you can’t beat Golden State by playing Golden State-style. That’s just not going to happen.”
