Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and the Los Angeles Lakers Under the Microscope

As of Monday, Nov. 29, the Los Angeles Lakers are still, without a doubt, one of the elite teams in the NBA.

It's hard not to be when you boast the services of Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and many more excellent NBA players. 

Even though the Lakers have lost their last two games and are just 6-4 in their last 10 games, they still lay claim to the second-best record in the Western Conference. And incidentally, the second-best record in the entire league as well. 

Los Angeles could be well on its way to a third straight NBA Finals title. 

Let's take a look at how each player on the Lakers' roster has contributed so far this season.
