Watch: Phil Handy Seen Training Lakers Players’ Sons in NBA Bubble

October 4, 2020

Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Phil Handy was recently seen training the Laker players’ songs in the NBA bubble. The Lakers are currently taking on the Miami Heat in the 2020 NBA Finals. So far, the NBA Finals have been pretty one sided. The Lakers have a 2-0 lead going into game 3 and it has been great to see the team get back on top. If the Lakers could pull out another title, it would be a great addition to an otherwise awful year.

This year has been tough for everyone. But it has been especially hard for the Lakers organization. Lakers Legend Kobe Bryant died earlier this year in a helicopter crash that left everyone on board dead. LeBron James took his death particularly hard. He talked about a regret that he had with Kobe.

“Of course, you think there’s going to be time for us to get together and I understand that there are regrets in life, but I definitely wish I had that moment with him,” James told Yahoo Sports. “I do remember when I decided to come here, he sent me a text right away and said, ‘Welcome, brother. Welcome to the family.’ That was a special moment because at the time, Laker faithful wasn’t [fully in on me]. A lot of people were saying, ‘Well, we might not want LeBron at this point in his career,’ and, ‘Is he right? Is he going to get us back [to the Finals]?’ So to hear from him and get his stamp of approval, it meant a lot. I don’t ever question myself, but when it’s coming from Kobe, it definitely meant a lot.”

Handy began his coaching career during the 2011-12 season with the Lakers. At that time, Mike Brown was the head coach. After this, he left for the Cleveland Cavaliers two years later. He then was with the Toronto Rapters last season before going back to L.A.
